Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a frame for displaying exhibits such as paintings, photographs, and printed matter, and more particularly to a frame that can store exhibits. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, frames are used to display paintings, photographs, printed matter, and other exhibits, but when other exhibits are displayed in frames, the exhibits must be stored separately, making storage management a hassle.

[0003] Therefore, various frames capable of storing exhibits have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a safety box that combines an album, a replaceable frame, a memorial tablet, valuables, and medicines, characterized by combining an album storage room with a replaceable frame that displays extended photographs of the family, and providing storage rooms for memorial tablets, valuable family mementos, and medicines on both sides of the album storage room and the replaceable frame, thereby integrating the two (hereinafter referred to as the conventional example).

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3061978 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the conventional example, it is necessary to provide an album storage chamber separate from the picture frames, which makes the configuration complicated and requires a large space, resulting in a problem of large size.

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and aims to provide a picture frame that can save space with a simple structure by separating the exhibition space for exhibits such as paintings, photographs, and printed matter from the storage space for storing the exhibits with a partition board. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The frame of this invention is A frame having a transparent or translucent display panel, a back panel disposed at a distance from the display panel, and a frame body attached to the periphery of the display panel and the back panel, A partition board is disposed between the display board and the rear board, and an exhibition space for placing exhibits is formed between the display board and the partition board, and a storage space for storing the exhibits is formed between the partition board and the rear board. It is characterized by the following.

[0008] A magnet for attaching the modifying member to the surface of the frame may be provided. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to this invention, a partition board is placed between the display board and the back panel, an exhibition space for display items is formed between the display board and the partition board, and a storage space for display items is formed between the partition board and the back panel, so space can be saved with a simple configuration. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0010] The following describes a picture frame according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 is a perspective view of a picture frame according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a front view of a picture frame according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a rear view of a picture frame according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is a side view of a picture frame according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 is a plan view of a picture frame according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 is a bottom view of a picture frame according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 is a perspective view of the frame body with the upper frame piece removed, Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VIII-VIII in Figure 7, Figure 9(a) is a perspective view of the back side of the upper frame piece, and Figure 9(b) is a detailed view of the end of the back side of the upper frame piece.

[0011] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the frame A in the embodiment of the present invention has a transparent or translucent display panel 1, a back panel 2 arranged at a distance from the display panel 1, and a frame body 3 attached to the periphery of the display panel 1 and the back panel 2.

[0012] The display panel 1 is made of, for example, acrylic resin. An opening 2a is formed in the center of the back panel 2 for arranging the frame A by hooking it onto a stopper or the like provided on the wall surface, for example. The frame body 3 has an upper frame piece 3a, a lower frame piece 3b, and a first side frame piece 3c and a second side frame piece 3d attached to both ends of the upper frame piece 3a and the lower frame piece 3b.

[0013] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, a first support groove 5 for supporting the display panel 1, back panel 2, and partition panel 4 is formed on the inner edge of the upper part of the first side frame piece 3c and the second side frame piece 3d, respectively.

[0014] A first magnet 6 is provided at the center of the upper surface of each of the first side frame piece 3c and the second side frame piece 3d.
