An art work frame comprising:
- an anchor portion of predetermined dimension;
- a tension portion of predetermined dimension;
- a first side foldable portion of predetermined dimension;
- a second side foldable portion of predetermined dimension;
- said anchor portion and said tension portion are oriented essentially parallel to one another forming opposite vertical sides of said art frame;
- said first side foldable portion and said second side foldable portion are oriented essentially parallel to one another, when unfolded, forming opposite horizontal sides of said art frame;
- said first side foldable portion and said second side foldable portion each comprising a short side end substructure, a folding substructure, and a long side end substructure arranged in that order;
- said folding substructure comprising two sections of equal length joined together at one end of each by a hinging mechanism;
- the other ends of each section support attachment via a pivoting interface;
- said short side end substructure supports attachment via said pivoting interface to said folding substructure, and supports fixed attachment to one end of a vertical frame portion;
- said long side end substructure supports attachment via said pivoting interface to said folding substructure, and supports fixed attachment to one end of said vertical frame portion;
- said pivoting interface operative to allow pivoting of said folding substructure when being folded but prevents further pivoting of the said folding substructure when fully extended;
- said folding substructure comprising two sections of equal length joined together at one end of each by a hinging mechanism;
- the other ends of each section support attachment via said hinging mechanism;
- said short side end substructure supports attachment via said hinging mechanism to said folding substructure, and supports fixed attachment to one end of said vertical frame portion;
- said long side end substructure supports attachment via said hinging mechanism to said folding substructure, and supports fixed attachment to one end of said vertical frame portion.
