Picture frame back attachment

Abstract

A picture frame is provided including a frame and a backing. The picture frame includes a plurality of side members which are coupled to each other to define a picture receiving region. Each side member has a flange and an interior wall. The flange is located at a front face of the frame and projects into the picture receiving region. The flange has a back surface which is perpendicular to the interior wall. The backing removably retains a picture in the picture receiving region. The picture frame further includes at least one flexible tab extending generally perpendicularly from the interior wall of at least one side member. The tab retains the backing in the frame and is spaced apart from the back surface of the flange by a distance at least equal to a thickness of the backing. When the backing is inserted into the frame, each tab bends towards the flange to allow the backing to pass by.
