Frame assembly and composite inclusive thereof

A frame assembly adapted for use on a device including a front viewed surface of a predetermined shape and a housing having a front surface at least partially around the viewed surface, said frame assembly including:

• a frame having generally planar front and rear surfaces, said frame including elongate border portions having inner edge surfaces defining a first opening through the frame corresponding in shape to at least a portion of the front viewed surface of the device on which the frame is adapted to be used;
• means for attaching the rear surface of the frame along the front surface of the housing on which the frame is adapted to be used with the opening in the frame aligned with the front viewed surface of the device on which the frame is adapted to be used;
• and
• a layer of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive adhered to said frame, said layer having an attachment surface accessible along the front surface of the frame adapted to have sheets of paper and other objects releasably adhered thereto;
• said layer of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive being adhered along the front surface of the frame, and said frame assembly further comprising:
• a plurality of sheets having from and rear major surfaces and generally the same shape as said frame;
• decorative patterns on the from surfaces of said sheets;
• and
• layers of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive coated on the front surfaces of said sheets over said decorative patterns;
• said sheets being adhered together in a stack with the sheets aligned and with rear surfaces of sheets in the stack removably adhered to the layers of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive on the sheets;
• and
• the rear surface of the bottom most sheet in the stack being releasably adhered to the repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive on the front surface of the frame;
• said sheets being sequentially removable to present fresh layers of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive on the sheets in the stack and/or to change the decorative pattern on the top sheet on the stack.

A frame assembly adapted for use on a device including a from viewed surface of a predetermined shape and a housing having a front surface at least partially around the viewed surface, said frame assembly including:

• a frame having generally planar front and rear surfaces, said frame including elongate border portions having inner edge surfaces defining a first opening through the frame corresponding in shape to at least a portion of the front viewed surface of the device on which the frame is adapted to be used;
• means for attaching the rear surface of the frame along the front surface of the housing on which the frame is adapted to be used with the opening in the frame aligned with the front viewed surface of the device on which the frame is adapted to be used;
• and
• a layer of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive adhered to said frame, said layer having an attachment surface accessible along the front surface of the frame adapted to have sheets of paper and other objects releasably adhered thereto;
• said frame being slit at least once around said inner edge surfaces defining said first opening through the frame to define outer edge surfaces defining a larger opening than said first opening;
• and
• said frame further including means for separably attaching the portion of the frame around said outer edge surfaces and the portion of the frame between said outer edge surfaces and said inner edge surfaces, thereby affording the forming of different size openings in the frame to afford adoption of the frame assembly to devices having different sized viewed surfaces.

A frame assembly adapted for use on a device including a front viewed surface of a predetermined shape and a housing having a front surface at least partially around the viewed surface, said frame assembly including:

• a frame having generally planar front and rear surfaces,
• a plurality of sheets having front and rear major surfaces;
• layers of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive coated on the rear surfaces of said sheets;
• said sheets being adhered together in a stack with the sheets aligned and with the layers of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive on the rear surfaces of the sheets removably adhered to the from surfaces of the sheets in the stack;
• the layer of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive on the rear surface of the bottom most sheet in the stack being releasably adhered to the front surface of the frame;
• said frame and sheets each including elongate border portions having inner edge surfaces defining an opening through the frame and stack of sheets adapted to generally correspond in shape to or to be slightly larger than at least a portion of the from viewed surface of the device on which the frame is adapted to be used;
• and
• means adapted for attaching the rear surface of the frame along the front surface of the housing of the device on which the frame is adapted to be used with the opening in the frame and sheets aligned with that front viewed surface;
• said sheets being sequentially removable to present fresh front surfaces of underlying sheets in the stack and/or to change a decorative patterns on the top sheet on the stack.

A composite including:

• a frame assembly adapted for use on a device including a front viewed surface of a predetermined shape and a housing having a front surface at least partially around the viewed surface, said frame assembly including:
• a stiff frame having generally planar front and rear surfaces, said frame including elongate border portions having inner edge surfaces defining a first opening through the frame adapted to correspond in shape to at least a portion of the front viewed surface of the device on which the frame is adapted to be used;
• means adapted for attaching the rear surface of the frame along the from surface of the housing of the device on which the frame is adapted to be used with the opening in the frame aligned with the front viewed surface of the device on which the frame is adapted to be used;
• and
• a layer of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive adhered to said frame and having an attachment surface accessible along the front surface of the frame adapted to have sheets of paper and other objects releasably adhered thereto;
• and
• a second assembly, said second assembly including:
• a stiff supplemental plate having generally planar front and rear surfaces, said supplemental plate having outer edge surfaces adapted to lay edge to edge with said inner edge surfaces of said border portions;
• means adapted for attaching the rear surface of the supplemental plate along a surface of a substrate;
• and
• a layer of repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive adhered to said supplemental plate and having an attachment surface accessible along the front surface of the supplemental plate adapted to have sheets of paper and other objects releasably adhered thereto;
• and
• means for releasably attaching said supplemental plate to said frame with said front surfaces of said supplemental plate and said frame generally co-planar, and said outer edge surfaces of said supplemental plate laying edge to edge with said inner edge surfaces of the frame.
