InFIG. 6 four pieces ofart rigid substrates square magnet rigid substrates metal plates backer board 60 and square locating holes 61, 62, 63, and 64 are cut into thebacker board 60 so that the position of therigid substrates frame 69 is controlled by the mounting position of thesquare magnets holes backer board 60. The magnetic attraction between thesquare magnets metal plates rigid substrates art pieces FIG. 6 is shown inFIG. 7 . It is understood that the magnet shapes and their corresponding alignment holes could be triangular, octagonal, oval or any other shape which would facilitate a fixed rotational alignment. It is also understood that a plurality of magnets and recesses could also be employed to accomplish this task. - A simplified perspective view of another preferred embodiment of the instant invention is shown in
FIG. 8 . InFIG. 8 , four pieces ofart square magnets stretcher frame 70. A series of foursquare magnets stretcher frame 71. A series of foursquare magnets stretcher frame 72. A series of foursquare magnets stretcher frame 73. A series ofmagnets backer board 107 to which thepicture frame 108 is mounted. The series ofmagnets magnets art art FIG. 9 . This aspect of the invention allows the frames to be shipped separately from the images thereby allowing a company specializing in art pieces to provide the art to a given retailer from one location while supplying frames from one or more manufacturers who specialize in frame manufacture. This aspect of the invention also affords the customer the opportunity to choose different combinations of images to place in a given frame.FIG. 10 shows the same elements asFIG. 8 with the addition of tworail members picture frame 108 to provide a means of mounting abacker 107 by inserting it into and thereby mounting it against end stops 111 and 112. Thebacker 107 may be of different colored or different textured or differently imaged backers or a combination thereof this allowing a givenframe 108 to appear visually different when combined withdifferent backers 107. This allows a small stock of frames and backers to be maintained by a retailer yet allows the customer a wide range of choices in that the customer can quickly assemble the art piece or pieces of their choice with the backer and frame of their choice. It is also understood that all of the processes and mechanisms described within this patent for assembling the backer and frame could also be used to mount photographs held within photograph frames into which or onto which magnets or other attachment or engagement members are affixed. -
FIG. 11 shows an assembly ofFIG. 9 . -
FIG. 12 shows a series of deformable mounting andalignment members frame 135 as well as a series ofholes backer 136 to receive the deformable mounting and alignment members. Theframe 135 can thereby be removable affixed to thebacker 136. In a similar manner the frames orrigid substrates art images alignment members 141 and thebacker 137 incorporates a series ofholes 142 to receive the deformable mounting andalignment members 141. Thus, a variety ofdifferent art images different backers 136 which can in turn be mounted to a series ofdifferent frames 135 by the customer at the point of purchase. -
FIG. 13 shows a top view of a portion ofFIG. 12 wherein theframe 135 is mounted to thebacker 136 by means of the deformable mounting andalignment members 125, and theholes 126. Similarly, theart image 141 is affixed to therigid substrate 137 which incorporates the deformable mounting andalignment members 125 which connect toholes 126 in thebacker 136. It is understood that these mounting techniques may be inter-combined with stretcher frames or other means of mounting the art images. -
FIG. 14 shows a series of rigid mountingmembers frame 120 as well as a series of shapedholes backer 115 to receive the mountingmembers member 121 and the mountinghole 116 are shown inFIG. 14 a. The geometry of the rigid mountingmember 121 and the mountinghole 116 are such that thelower portion 155 of thehole 116 is large enough to allow thehead 158 of the rigid mountingmembers 121 to pass through while theupper portion 156 of thehole 116 is only slightly larger than thebase 157 of the rigid mountingmember 121 thereby aligning and mounting the frame in the desired position when it is inserted and laterally translated in thedirection 159. Using a similar principle, an art image such as 145, 146, 147 or 148 affixed to their respective rigid substrates can be affixed to thebacker 115 by means of a series of rigid mountingmembers 153 which interact with a matrix of shapedholes 154. This allows a small stock of frames and backers to be maintained by a retailer yet allows the customer a wide range of choices in that the customer can quickly assemble the art piece or pieces of their choice with the backer and frame of their choice. It is recognized that the rigid mounting members may be affixed to the backer board or that any inter-combination of positions for the rigid mounting members and the holes may be used to accomplish this aspect of the invention. It is also understood that a combination of hooks and holes may also be employed to embody this aspect of the invention. -
FIGS. 15, 16 , 17, 18, 19 and 20 demonstrate various combinations of different sized images and differently shaped backers and frames onto which a collage of images may be assembled. In this manner and by the means described within this disclosure, a customer may removably affix art, photographic, sculpture or other elements onto a backer and affix said backer removably to a frame. The combination of the alignment elements with a permanent adhesive will also allow the customer to create a permanent mounting of the art, photographic, sculpture or other elements of their choice onto a backer and said backer onto a frame.
