Abstract
A stacking modular frame system, assembled on a surface such as a table-top as opposed to being wall-mounted, with the individual frames interconnecting in three-dimensional form horizontally, vertically, or in combination. The structure is supported by long or short caps, which also top the structure to create stability. The caps and the frame fronts and backs all have corresponding notches that fit, each piece into the other, in a perpendicular fashion, thereby building the structure. Beginning with the caps, the structure can be built up multiple levels with multiple frames, each stacking perpendicularly on the previous, and can be built outwardly in the same fashion. The photo is centered naturally within the notches in the separate frame front and back pieces.
Claims2
A modular picture frame system, comprising
- a) fronts and backs for the photos to sandwich between;
- b) said fronts and backs are rectangular in shape, the same size as each other, and have aligning notches on each edge;
- c) short and long supporting caps;
- d) short caps and long caps the same length as the short and long sides of fronts and backs, and notched in corresponding fashion as a means to connect the pieces in a perpendicular fashion and build the structure;
- e) said fronts and backs intersecting with said caps, thereby creating a three-dimensional, photo frame structure of variable configuration, and variable size depending upon how many photos are used.
