The material of the frame outer frame 2, the ridge frame portion 2a, and the back plate support plate 5 can be replaced with materials other than wood, and may be formed of, for example, a synthetic resin. The back plate 4 is preferably made of a lightweight hard material having a certain elasticity, and is formed of, for example, styrene foam. And the number of back plate support plates 5 is not limited to four.
[0010]
As described above, since the glass plate is not required for mounting the exhibit, the background of the viewer is not reflected during the viewing, and the same effect as the panel display can be obtained. Further, the display 3 can be easily attached and detached, and a single frame 1 can support a plurality of display items of the same size, and the storage space is reduced as compared with panel mounting. In some applications, a glass plate can be interposed between the exhibit 3 and the frame outer frame 2.
[0011]
FIG. 1B is an application example of FIG. When the frame 1 according to the present invention is adapted to a plurality of different-sized exhibits, first, the frame outer frame 2, the ridge frame portion 2a, the back plate 4, and the back plate support shown in FIG. The plate 5 is formed corresponding to the exhibit 3 having the maximum size. Next, a frame plate 20 of the same size as the back plate 4 is formed, and an opening 3b corresponding to an exhibit 3a having a size smaller than the exhibit 3 of the maximum size is formed at a substantially central portion of the frame plate 20. I do. The display item 3a is covered by an opening 3b formed to be smaller than the display item 3a, and the outer periphery of the back surface of the display item 3a and the vicinity of the opening 3b on the back surface of the frame plate 20 are integrally attached by the attaching member 21 or the like. Be worn. Then, the frame plate 20 to which the exhibit 3a is attached is fitted to the frame outer frame 2 together with the back plate 4 superposed from the back surface. As in FIG. 1A, the frame plate 20 is held by the ridge frame portion 2 a, and the back plate 4 includes four back plate support plates 5 attached to the frame outer frame 2 from the back surface of the back plate 4. The frame 2 is pressed against and supported by the front side of the frame outer frame 2. In this way, if a plurality of frame plates having openings of different sizes are prepared, a single type of frame 1 can easily cope with a plurality of exhibits of different sizes.
[0012]
Note that, instead of the attaching member 21, the overlapped portion of the exhibit 3a and the frame plate 20 may be adhered with an adhesive that does not damage or leave an adhesive mark when peeled off. When the exhibits 3 and 3a are photographs, the photographs may be laminated.
[0013]
FIG. 2A is a rear view of the frame according to the present invention. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 2A, FIG. 2C is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. 2A, and FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 2 (a), 2 (b), and 2 (c), the display 3 fitted to the frame outer frame 2 has its peripheral portion on the inner periphery of the surface of the frame outer frame 2. It is held on the back surface of the protruding ridge frame portion 2a. The back plate 4 is similarly fitted from the back side of the exhibit 3, and overlaps with the exhibit 3. As described above, since the back plate 4 is superimposed on the exhibit 3, the unevenness can be prevented even if the exhibit 3 is thin, which is suitable for viewing.
[0014]
Four upper support plate mounting holes 8b are provided on the upper inner peripheral wall surface 2b in the longitudinal direction of the frame outer frame 2 at substantially regular intervals with a fixed interval therebetween, and the lower inner surface facing the upper inner peripheral wall surface 2b. Four lower support plate mounting holes 8c are provided on the peripheral wall surface 2c at positions corresponding to the upper support plate mounting holes 8b. The upper support plate mounting hole 8b and the lower support plate mounting hole 8c have a quadrangular opening cross section and are formed to have a size in which the back plate support plate 5 can be mounted. As shown in (b), it is a position below the back surface of the frame outer frame 2. Thereby, the back plate supporting plate 5 is disposed inside the frame outer frame 2.
[0015]
The four back plate support plates 5 each having a quadrangular cross section are arranged substantially evenly, with the upper end mounted on the upper support plate mounting hole 8b and the lower end mounted on the lower support plate mounting hole 8c. . The length L5 of the back plate supporting plate 5 is longer than the distance L2 between the opposed inner peripheral wall surfaces 2b and 2c, and the depth L8c of the lower supporting plate mounting hole 8c is equal to the depth L8b of the upper supporting plate mounting hole 8b. When the lower end of the back plate support plate 5 abuts against the bottom 9c of the lower support plate mounting hole 8c, the upper end of the back plate support plate 5 can be detached from the upper support plate mounting hole 8b. When the upper end of the back plate support plate 5 abuts on the bottom 9b of the upper support plate mounting hole 8b, the lower end of the back plate support plate 5 cannot be detached from the lower support plate mounting hole 8c. The length and depth of each are adjusted. Further, as described above, when the lower end of the back plate support plate 5 contacts the bottom 9c of the lower support plate mounting hole 8c, the upper end of the back plate support plate 5 is detached from the upper support plate mounting hole 8b. As shown in FIG. 2D, the upper end of the back plate support plate 5 is locked in the upper support plate mounting hole 8b, and the lower end is locked in the lower support plate mounting hole 8c. After being mounted at such a position, a retaining pin 10 is mounted as a locking means at an appropriate position below the back plate support plate 5 to prevent the back plate support plate 5 from being detached. This locking means is not limited to the retaining pin 10, but may be another locking means.
[0016]
Further, in the above configuration, when the lower end of the back plate support plate 5 contacts the bottom 9c of the lower support plate mounting hole 8c, the upper end of the back plate support plate 5 engages with the upper support plate mounting hole 8b. If it is configured to be stopped and cannot be removed, the retaining pin 10 is unnecessary. However, in this case, in order to bend the frame outer frame 2 outward and attach / detach the back plate supporting plate 5 to / from the frame outer frame 2, the degree of curvature of the frame outer frame 2, the length of the back plate supporting plate 5, The depth of the upper support plate mounting hole 8b and the depth of the lower support plate mounting hole 8c need to be appropriately adjusted.
[0017]
The upper end and the lower end of the back plate supporting plate 5 are easily inserted into the upper supporting plate mounting hole 8b and the lower supporting plate mounting hole 8c, respectively. The part may be cut so as to be smooth.
[0018]
As shown in FIG. 2 (a), a first (for vertical hanging) hanging member 6 is attached to the side surface of the left end back plate support plate 5 among the four back plate support plates 5 arranged. A second (horizontal) hanging member 7 is mounted between the side surfaces of the two opposite back plate supporting plates 5 disposed substantially at the center of the frame outer frame 2. The first hanging member 6 includes a pair of vertical hanging stoppers 6a mounted at a substantially central portion of a side surface of the left end back plate supporting plate 5 at a predetermined interval, and a pair of vertical hanging stoppers 6a. And a hanging string 6b for hanging vertically, both ends of which are connected to each other. In addition, the second hanging member 7 has a pair of horizontal hanging stoppers 7a mounted on the side surfaces of the two opposite back plate supporting plates 5, and both ends are tied to the horizontal hanging stopper 7a. And a hanging string 7b for horizontal hanging. With such a configuration, the frame can be installed vertically or horizontally depending on the orientation of the exhibit 3. Further, the first suspending device 6 and the second suspending device 7 are attached to the back plate supporting plate 5 disposed inside the back surface of the frame outer frame 2. For this reason, when the first hanging tool 6 or the second hanging tool 7 is hooked on a frame setting device such as a hook installed on the wall surface and the frame 1 is set on the wall surface, the frame 1 is placed on the wall surface. The first suspending device 6 and the second suspending device 7 are hidden inside the picture frame 1, so that the suspending devices such as suspending strings and stoppers can be seen from the outside like a conventional picture frame. Can be prevented from being unsightly and suitable for viewing.
[0019]
In order to install the picture frame 1 in a well-balanced manner without tilting the frame 1 on the wall surface W or the like, the first suspending tool 6 is a pair of vertical hanging stoppers attached at a fixed distance as in this embodiment. It is preferable that the hanging strap 6b for vertical hanging is connected to the hook 6a. For example, an annular hook is attached to one stopper, and the hook is hooked on the hook or the like. It is also possible to set up a picture frame. The hanging string 6b for hanging vertically is formed of a hard member or a member hardened by applying a water-based paint to a soft string and drying it. It is easier to attach it to a picture frame installation device such as a hook.
[0020]
Similarly, in order to install the frame 1 in a well-balanced manner without tilting the frame 1 on the wall surface W or the like, the second hanging members 7 are opposed to each other and arranged at a fixed interval as in the present embodiment. It is preferable that a pair of hanging straps 7b attached to the backing plate supporting plate 5 be connected to the hanging straps 7b for hanging, for example, the central position in the longitudinal direction of the frame outer frame 2 in the longitudinal direction. It is also possible to attach a ring-shaped hook to one stopper attached to the back plate supporting plate 5 arranged in the above, and to hook the hook on the hook or the like to install a picture frame. The hanging strap 7b for horizontal hanging is formed of a hard member or a member hardened by applying a water-based paint to a soft string and drying it. It is easier to attach it to a picture frame installation device such as a hook. .
[0021]
Next, an example of installation of a picture frame on a wall surface according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 3A is a perspective view showing a state where the picture frame 1 is installed on the wall surface W sideways. As shown in FIG. 3A, the frame 1 is turned sideways so that the longitudinal direction is substantially horizontal, and the hanging strap 7 b of the second hanging member 7 is hooked to the hook F attached to the wall surface W. , And set so as to cover the hook F. FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3B, the second hanging member 7 is attached to a back plate support plate 5 disposed inside the back surface of the frame outer frame 2. For this reason, the picture frame 1 is installed closely to the wall surface W, and the second suspending tool 7 is hidden inside the picture frame 1 and cannot be seen from the outside. Can be prevented from being seen from the outside and unsightly, which is suitable for viewing. Even if the frame 1 is oriented vertically so that the longitudinal direction is substantially vertical, the hanging string 6b for hanging the first hanging member 6 is hooked on the hook F attached to the wall surface W and installed. Is the same.
[0022]
In FIG. 3A, the retaining pins 10 are mounted on the left and right back plate supporting plates 5. The two opposite back plate support plates 5 at the substantially central portion to which the second hanging member 7 is attached have the hanging string 7b for hanging horizontally of the second hanging member 7 hooked on the hook F, The upper end of the back plate support plate 5 contacts the bottom 9b of the upper support plate mounting hole 8b, and the lower end of the back plate support plate 5 cannot be removed from the lower support plate mounting hole 8c. Not required. When the picture frame 1 is installed vertically, all four back plate support plates 5 require retaining pins.
[0023]
When the frame 1 is installed on the wall surface W, the inner peripheral wall surface (for example, the upper inner peripheral wall surface 2b) of the frame outer frame 2 may be directly hooked on a frame installation device such as a hook F. Further, the pair of horizontal stoppers 7a of the second hanging member 7 is preferably attached to two opposing back plate supporting plates 5, and another pair of hanging stoppers 7a is provided between the two attached back plate supporting plates 5. As compared with the case where the back plate supporting plate 5 is interposed, the attachment to the frame setting device such as the hook F becomes very easy.
[0024]
