A mounting corner usable with several other like mounting corners for the mounting of photographs, posters, drawings and the like on a mounting surface, this mounting corner being constructed from relatively thick, rigid material, and having substantially flat, triangularly-shaped front and rear surfaces. Two edge portions of the front and rear triangularly-shaped surfaces meet at a right angle, whereas the hypotenuse edge of each mounting corner is slotted to receive the respective corner of a photograph, poster, drawing or the like. Securing means selected from a variety of different types is utilized upon the rear surface of each mounting corner, thus enabling our mounting corner to be attached to a mounting surface of ferric metal, as well as upon surfaces such as wood, felt-board, cork, ceramic and the like, depending upon the particular securing means utilized in a given instance. Preferred securing means include magnetic material attached by adhesive means upon the rear surface of each mounting corner, when the corner is to be utilized upon a ferric metal surface, and a sharpened point held in place by a spring clip attached in the slotted hypotenuse edge, for a mounting corner intended to be used upon a corkboard, panel board or the like.
A mounting corner usable with other like mounting corners for the mounting of photographs or posters on a mounting surface, said mounting corner being constructed from relatively thick, rigid material, said mounting corner being approximately 3/16 inch thick and having substantially flat, triangularly shaped front and rear surfaces, said mounting corner having two edge portions meeting at a right angle, with the hypotenuse edge being slotted to receive the corner of a photograph or poster, and securing means attached to said rear surface for enabling said mounting corner to be secured to a mounting surface, said securing means involving a sharpened point adapted to be inserted into a corkboard or panel, said sharpened point being firmly mounted on a spring clip supported by said slotted edge of the hypotenuse of said mounting corner.
A mounting corner to be utilized in groups for the mounting of photographs or posters, said corner comprising a rigid, generally triangularly shaped front member, and a rigid, generally triangularly shaped rear member residing in a parallel relationship with said front member and defining therewith a slot located on the hypotenuse of said triangularly shaped members, into which slot the corner of a photograph or poster can be inserted, said mounting corner being approximately 3/16 inch thick, and securing means on the exterior side of said rear member, whereby said corner can be readily attached to a mounting surface, said securing means involving a sharpened point adapted to be inserted into a corkboard or panel, said sharpened point being firmly mounted on a spring clip supported by the slot in said hypotenuse edge of said mounting corner.
A mounting corner to be utilized in groups for the mounting of photographs or posters, said corner comprising a thick, generally triangularly-shaped front member, and a thick, generally triangularly-shaped rear member, said members being of plastic, and residing together in a spaced, parallel relationship so as to define slot between said front and rear members that is located on the hypotenuse edge of said members, into which slot the corner of a photograph or poster can be inserted, and securing means affixed on the exterior side of said rear member, whereby a group of said corners can be grouped together to support the photograph or poster on a substantially flat surface, said securing means involving a sharpened point adapted to be inserted into a corkboard or panel, said sharpened point being firmly mounted on a spring clip supported by the slot in said hypotenuse edge of said mounting corner.
