Description

Photo frame.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a framework photo holder, which has been specially conceived and designed in order to allow use as a raw material for the same cardboard or other similar product, with a substantial cost reduction both in terms of own raw material as the manufacturing process thereof.

Background of the invention

How frames are known photo-holder, leaving aside those of nature metallic, they are usually constituted by four profiles of wood or resin, with its miter cut ends, which normally determine a rectangular contour that, with a recess internal and stepped perimeter allow coupling in it of a photograph, sometimes protected by a glass plate, which is retained by a rear panel, which is set with the collaboration of retention means, of different types, fixed to the frame itself.

Regardless of the cost of profiles wood or resin constituting the frame itself, these they must be miter cut, with a remarkable waste of material, then they must be fixed by adhesive, frequently with the collaboration of keys that ensure the fixation, operation that besides being complex must be very precise to get a perfect finish, to all that needs to be added also the establishment on the back side of the eyelash frame  swivels and other fasteners for the back plate which stabilizes the picture against the frame.

All this implies that the manufacturing cost of These frameworks are considerable, to which we must also add packing costs to avoid damage to it during your marketing, and its own volume that also impacts negatively from the point of view of storage and transport.

Description of the invention

The photo frame that the proposed invention resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problematic previously exposed, constituting an element of very low cost, obtainable in a simple operation of die cut, initially flat, that can maintain this arrangement until it has been acquired by the customer, which minimizes very considerable its volumetric occupation, which by its own simplicity does not require packaging means to protect it during handling, which by its own configuration incorporates in itself the fixing means for photography and that, also based on its special configuration, it can be used as a desktop element, perfectly stable, both with its major axis in vertical arrangement as in arrangement horizontal.

To do this and more specifically the framework of the invention consists of two pieces of cardboard or similar, one of which constitutes the framework itself, and the other a rear fixing base for photography.

The first of these pieces is constituted by a central core, rectangular, dimensionally coinciding with the second piece and mostly affected by a large rectangular and centered window, extending through of its four edges, specifically through fold lines, in two isosceles trapecial partitions, which are the ones that are going to determine the thickness of the frame, and that through respective double folding lines are finished off in individual flaps rectangular, topped in turn in a tab located in correspondence with its longitudinal and free edge, determined to its Again by another folding line.

In correspondence with the vertices of the nucleus, and relating the trapecial partitions that surround them, they are established pentagonal expansions, joined to said partitions by lines of folding and each one of them has a folding line intermediate which, constituting an axis of symmetry for said expansions emerge from the vertices of the central nucleus.

For its part, the second piece, complementary to the previous one, incorporates next to each one of its edges and in noticeably centered layout, pairs of wavy cuts Slot determinants for fixing different sizes of you photographed said base and, consequently, so that photographs are perfectly centered with respect to the window  of the framework itself.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a development in plant of the two constituent pieces of a frame photo holder made in accordance with the object of The present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows, according to a perspective front the assembly of the previous figure properly armed.

Figure 3.- Shows, finally, another perspective of the assembly of figure 1 duly armed, now on the back of it.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can Observe how the framework proposed by the invention is constituted by two pieces (1) and (2), of cardboard or similar, with the special configuration for each of them shown in figure 1, one of said pieces (1) being destined to constitute the frame proper, and materializing in a sheet punched in the that a central core (3) is defined, rectangular, affected mostly by a window (4), perfectly centered on the same, said core (3) being delimited by lines of folding (5), beyond which separate partitions are established isoscele trapezoids (6-6 '), considerably elongated in the direction of the edges or fold lines (5) of the core (3), and finished off each of them, after a double line of folded (7), on a rectangular flap (8-8 '), elongated in the same direction, and topped in turn in a small tab (9) delimited in turn by a fold line (10).

Complementarily between the mentioned partitions trapecial (6) and in correspondence with each of the vertices of the core (3), pentagonal expansions (11) are established, related to the trapecial partitions (6-6 ') a through folding lines (12) and also provided with a line of intermediate folding (13) emerging from the corresponding vertex of the core (3).

On the other hand the second piece (2) materializes in a rectangular plate (14), dimensionally coincident with the core (3) of the first piece and intended to fit the face later of the latter, with interposition of the corresponding photograph, incorporating said plate (14) in centered arrangement next to each of its edges, at least one cut (15), preferably two, so that these cuts or grooves (15), properly arranged, they allow fixing to the base (2) of photographs of different sizes, in order that they remain perfectly centered with respect to the window (4) defined in the core (3) of the first piece (1).

According to this structuring and with independence of the simplicity of the framework to be obtained by two simple pieces of cardboard, these can be stored and transported in the extension situation shown in figure 1, with which its volumetric occupation is minimal, and its assembly can be carried out by the client who acquires the framework, for what that it is enough to fold the pentagonal expansions on itself (11), at the same time as they fall on the back of the nucleus (1) the trapecial partitions (6-6 '), proceeding finally to the folding of the flaps (8-8 '), also inwards, standing for example between each flap (8 ') and the corresponding trapeze partition (6') the pair of expansions (11) that frame them, and acting the eyelashes marginal (9) as retaining means for the base plate (2) bearer of photography, thus achieving a self-assembly of the frame, in the absence of adhesives, staples or other means outside the own laminar body (1), constituting a trunk-pyramidal body and rectangular open later, as shown in the figures 2 and 3, which by its own configuration is able to be maintained stable supported on any one of its major lateral faces (6) or less (6 ') and which is also easily found Detachable if you want to change or replace the photograph chosen, which is mostly visible through the window (4) thereof.
