Abstract
A do-it-yourself picture frame includes a plurality of edge members, each having a circular or slot-like aperture proximate each end thereof, joined by a plurality of corner members. Each corner member includes first and second perpendicular channels for receiving the ends of adjacent edge members. Each channel is provided with a stop plate against which an end of an edge member may abut and an internally threaded projection which extends into an aperture in an edge member. A screw threadably engages the projection to secure the edge member in its channel.

A picture frame comprising:
- A. a plurality of edge members each having an aperture proximate each end thereof:
- B. a plurality of corner members for coupling said plurality of edge members together to form said frame, each of said corner members comprising:
- 1. first and second channels perpendicular to each other for receiving therein ends of adjacent edge members;
- and
- 2. an internally threaded projection within each of said channels for passing through said apertures to secure said adjacent edge members to one of said corner members;
- and
- C. screw means for threadably engaging said internally threaded projection from a second direction opposite said first direction.
A corner bracket for securing edge members of a picture frame together, each of said edge members having an aperture proximate each end thereof, said corner bracket comprising:
- first and second channels perpendicular to each other for receiving ends of adjacent edge members;
- and
- an internally threaded projection within each of said first and second channels for extending into the apertures in adjacent ends of adjacent edge members.
