DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a picture frame to which a work such as a picture, a photograph or a print is fitted and which is attached to a wall or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a work is stored in a picture frame and placed on a wall, the author, title or date of production of the work, etc.
In many cases, an explanation plate that describes the author and the work is posted together.In this case, on the wall surface, a fixture such as a hook for attaching the explanation plate is provided separately from a hook or the like for attaching a picture frame. Provided.

[0003]

If the picture frame and the explanation plate are separately mounted on the wall, the following problems occur. (1) For one piece of work, two mounting fixtures must be provided on the wall surface for the picture frame and the explanation plate, and two new places will be required when the frame is rearranged. Fittings must be provided. Therefore, it takes time and effort to mount or change the position of the frame, and mounting flaws and the like on the wall surface increase.

(2) In the case of paintings for rental, etc., in order to regularly exchange different works for customers, store a large number of works in a warehouse, and at the same time, periodically select and transport appropriate works as appropriate. become. In such storage, transportation and replacement work, if the picture frame and the explanation plate related to the work stored in the picture frame are separately managed, it takes time and effort to manage it, and when replacing it, make a mistake or forget the explanation plate. Sometimes.

[0005]

According to the present invention, an explanation plate on which information relating to a display work is written is provided on the back of the frame main body at a posting position protruding downward from the frame main body and viewed from the front, and at a back side of the frame main body. A picture frame characterized by being slidably fixed to a hidden storage position.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a frame to which the present invention is applied, viewed from the back side. A plastic explanation plate 2 is attached to the back of a frame main body 1. A description sheet 3 is attached to the front side of the lower half of the frame, and the description sheet 3 describes the creator and title of the work stored in the frame main body 1 and a description about the creator and the work. Have been.

The explanation plate 2 is inserted and supported by a guide table 5 having a slit 7 so as to be freely slidable in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 1, a storage position completely hidden on the back surface of the frame body 1 and a storage position shown in FIG. As described above, the position can be changed and fixed to a posting position where the description can be viewed from the front by projecting downward from the lower end edge of the frame main body 1.

[0008] The slide fixing structure of the plate 2 will be described in detail. FIG. 4 is a front view showing the explanation plate 2 and the guide base 5 separated from the frame main body 1, respectively. The explanation plate 2 is formed in a rectangular shape, and ears 8 are integrally formed at upper right and left ends. A metal plate 10 for suction is attached to the front of the center of the upper end with an adhesive or the like. Also, on the back surface of the lower end of the explanation plate 2,
As shown in FIG. 2, the strip projections 14 for retaining along the lower edge.
Are formed.

The guide base 5 is formed to be elongated in the horizontal direction and is fixed to the lower end of the back surface of the frame main body 1.
A slit 7 penetrating in the up-down direction is formed to allow the explanation plate 2 to pass therethrough. As shown in FIG. 4, the width W of the slit 7 in the left-right direction is a width through which the main body portion (width D1) of the explanation plate 2 can pass, but is smaller than the width D2 between the both ears 8 at the upper end. When the explanation plate 2 is lowered, the ears 8 are locked to the left and right upper end surfaces of the guide table 5.

In FIG. 3, a stopper 6 is formed in an L-shape and is fixed to the center of the back surface of the frame body 1 with an adhesive or the like, and a strip-shaped sheet magnet 12 is adhered with an adhesive or the like. The position of the sheet magnet 12 corresponds to the metal plate 10 for adsorption when the explanation plate 2 is in the storage position.

The handling will be described. At the time of storage in a warehouse or the like or transportation, the explanation plate 2 is pulled up to the storage position as shown in FIG.
The explanation plate 2 is fixed (held) at the storage position by attracting the zero portion to the magnet 12 of the stopper 6. Thus, the explanation plate 2 is not obstructed during storage or transportation work, is easy to organize, and does not have to be separated from the frame main body 1 of the corresponding related work.

When the picture frame is displayed, the explanation plate 2 is lowered against the magnetic force of the magnet 12 as shown in FIG. Hold plate 2 in the posted position. That is,
With the frame main body 1 raised on the wall, the user can read the explanatory text of the explanatory plate 2 from the front. In this case, there is no need to specially provide a mounting bracket for the explanation plate on the wall surface, and an explanation corresponding to the work can always be posted without fail.

[0013]

[Other Embodiments]

(1) As a mechanism for fixing and holding the explanation plate 2 at the storage position, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, besides a mechanism utilizing the attraction of a sheet-shaped magnet and a metal plate, an elastic projection and a locking hole are provided. Various types of engagement structures, such as the above-described engagement structure and an adhesive structure between magic tapes (surface fasteners), can be used.

[0014]

As described above, according to the invention of the present application, (1) the description plate 2 describing the description of the corresponding work is always held on the frame body 1, so that when the frame is raised on the wall surface, In addition, it is not necessary to provide a fitting for the description plate in addition to the fitting for the picture frame, so that the mounting work on the wall surface is simplified, and the mounting scratches on the wall surface can be prevented from increasing.

(2) Since the explanation plate 2 describing the description of the corresponding work is always held on the back of the frame main body, the frame and the explanation plate 2 corresponding thereto are separated during storage, transportation and replacement work. The explanation plate 2 is not lost and the explanation plate 2 is kept in the storage position during storage, transportation and replacement, so that the storage and transportation operation is not hindered. That is, it is possible to save the labor and space required for the storage and transport work while preventing the frame and the description plate from falling apart.
