Reversible picture frame

Abstract

A frame for one or for two-sided display of pictures or posters having an unique configuration and novel combination of component parts which permit quick and permanent assembly to provide a rigid frame structure for easy exchange and replacement of pictures or posters is disclosed. The frame of the invention comprises four frame components, each frame component having an outer planar sidewall with parallel side edges, inwardly facing outer walls depending from said side wall edges substantially parallel to each other and a pair of equispaced inner walls positioned within said inwardly facing outer walls formed integral with and joined to the adjacent inwardly facing outer walls and spaced therefrom by a pair of shoulders at their respective bases to define a longitudinal recess adjacent each outer wall and to define a longitudinal slot between the inner walls, each pair of said shoulders and opposed outer side wall together defining a transverse channel for receiving a corner connector whereby the shoulders can be indented to frictionally engage the corner connector to form a rigid rectangular frame, one frame member having a longitudinal slot for insertion or removal of a picture therefrom. The frame for single-sided viewing incorporates a clip with lug appendage for insertion into the frame construction for securement of the frame to a wall and concealment of the securing means by the picture or poster.
