Abstract

A modular, easy to assemble, readily expandable, and fun to build display frame for cards, art, pictures, drawings, etc., is disclosed. The display frame comprises individual modular pieces, which may be assembled to form a multitude of different display concepts.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 539070, filed Jan. 23, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relates to modular frames, kits containing components of such frames, and method(s) for assembling such frames. More specifically, it relates to such frames having horizontal and vertical members that are easily assembled from pieces that releasably connect to each other. BACKGROUND [0003] The framing of pictures, art, etc., is well known. But preparing a frame is often a time consuming and expensive endeavor that often requires tools and significant dexterity to accomplish. Children and the elderly often lack the required dexterity to assemble a frame. Conversely, a frame may be purchased, but such frames are of a fixed size, are not expandable, lack personal creativity and are not fun to create. There is a need in the art for an easy to assemble, readily expandable, and fun to bu...
