Abstract
A picture frame with a frame (1, 2) has clamps (6, 7, 8, 9) for securing parts (3, 4, 5) inserted into the frame, such as a pane of glass, a picture, a rear wall, etc. The clamps (6, 7, 8, 9) have a bridge (14) and a spring clip (15). On the inside (12) of the frame (1, 2) a projection (17) is inserted into a recess (13). On the end of the bridge (14) there is another projection (16) which is inserted into a recess (11) on the back (10) of the frame (1, 2). On the end of the spring clip (15) there is a third projection (18) which is inserted into a recess (23) on the back (21) of the rear wall (5). This enables very adaptable and reliable mounting of the parts (3, 4, 5) in the frame (1).
Claims18
Picture frame with a first frame (1, 2) and clamps (6, 7, 8, 9) for securing parts (3, 4, 5) inserted into the first frame,
- wherein each of the clamps (6, 7, 8, 9) comprises a bridge (14) and a spring clip (15), the bridge having a first projection (17) between the bridge and the spring clip and a second projection (16) at an end of the bridge opposite the first projection,
- wherein insides (12) of the first frame (1, 2) have first recesses (13) for insertion of the first projection (17) and a back (10) of the first frame has second recesses (11) for insertion of the second projection (16),
- wherein the spring clip (15) is supported on a rear of rearmost one of the parts inserted in the first frame.
Picture frame with a first frame (1, 2) and clamps (6, 7, 8, 9) for securing parts (3, 4, 5) inserted into the first frame,
- wherein each of the clamps (6, 7, 8, 9) comprises a bridge (14) and a spring clip (15), the bridge having a first projection (17) between the bridge and the spring clip,
- wherein insides (12) of the first frame (1, 2) have first recesses (13) for insertion of the first projection (17),
- wherein the spring clip is supported on a rear of rearmost one of the parts inserted in the first frame,
- the picture frame further comprising a stand (26) having a section (27) which can be clamped between the spring clip and the rear of the rearmost one of the parts inserted into the first frame,
- wherein the stand (26) comprises a middle part (29), side parts (30) and two wings (31), and wherein the wings (31) overlap one another to form the section (27).
A picture frame comprising:
- a first annular frame defining an opening for parts to be inserted therein, a peripheral inside surface of the first frame having a first recess therein and a rear surface of the first frame having a second recess therein;
- and
- a clamp for securing parts inserted into the first frame, the clamp comprising a bridge section and spring clip section that are attached to each other, a first projection between the bridge and the spring clip sections, and a second projection at an end of the bridge section opposite the spring clip section, the first projection being arranged and adapted to fit into the first recess and the second projection being arranged and adapted to fit into the second recess so that the spring clip section applies a spring force on parts inserted into the first frame.
