Abstract
A stand for holding a picture frame in a substantially vertically inclined viewing position including a base providing forwardly projecting side leg members upon which a corresponding flange of the picture frame is adapted to sit, with the stand providing locking tabs extending in spaced parallel relation to, but inwardly of, the side leg members for restraining engagement with the opposite side face of the picture frame flange so as to support the same thereon.

A combination picture frame and stand therefor comprising
- a. an open-back rectangularly shaped frame having a transparent face defined by a laterally extending peripheral flange,
- b. a base support substantially triangular in cross section presenting horizontal bottom edge surfaces and an inclined upper face,
- c. forwardly projecting leg members formed from opposite side walls of said base support providing continuous horizontal bottom edge surfaces and substantially flat frame-supporting surfaces extending coplanar with said inclined upper face of said base support,
- d. means extending in a spaced parallel relation to said leg members of said base cooperating with said frame-supporting surfaces for frictionally holding a portion of said peripheral flange of said frame thereon so as to support said transparent face of said frame vertically from said inclined upper face of said base.
