Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] By the way, the patterns attached to T-shirts include various patterns such as vertically long and horizontally long patterns. However, the frame-type package described in Patent Document 1 is only compatible with, for example, vertically long patterns, and when storing a T-shirt with a horizontally long pattern, the entire pattern may not fit in the window of the box, and a part may be cut off and visible. There was also a problem that the place where the box could be decorated was limited to the place where the hook was provided, and the usability was poor.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To solve the above problems, a picture frame according to one aspect of the present invention comprises: a front panel having a window portion extending in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction; a peripheral wall extending from the periphery of the front panel; a back panel connected to the peripheral wall, having a first through-cut portion, the portion extending in a straight line connecting both ends of the first through-cut portion forming a first fold; and a stand portion storage angle position located on the same plane as the back panel, partitioned by the first through-cut portion and the first fold, and a stand portion unfolded angle position rotated outward from the stand portion storage angle position with the first fold as the pivot axis. The device comprises a main body including a stand portion that can swing between itself and a surface, and a stand holding portion that engages with the stand portion at the extended angle position of the stand portion and restricts the swinging of the stand portion, wherein one end of the main body in the first direction forms a first portion, and one end of the main body in the second direction forms a second portion, and the stand portion has a first support edge extending on a first plane where the first portion is located at the extended angle position of the stand portion, and a second support edge extending on a second plane where the second portion is located at the extended angle position of the stand portion.

[0007] This configuration allows for the framed artwork to be stored in an orientation that corresponds to the shape of its pattern, and the artwork to be displayed in a position that suits its stored state. Therefore, it prevents the entire pattern of the framed artwork from being cut off in the window. Furthermore, it can be displayed in any location, such as on a table or shelf. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] This invention prevents the entire pattern of the framed artwork from being cut off in the box window, and also allows it to be displayed in any location, such as on a table or shelf. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0009] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of a framed ornament according to an embodiment. [Figure 2] Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the configuration of a picture frame. [Figure 3] Figure 1 shows an example of the configuration of the unfolded body of the picture frame, and is a diagram showing the inner surface. [Figure 4] Figure 1 shows an example of how to use a picture frame, specifically in a vertical orientation. [Figure 5] Figure 1 shows an example of how to use a picture frame, specifically in a horizontal orientation. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] The embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. Furthermore, throughout the following drawings, the same or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions thereof are omitted.

[0011] Figure 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the picture frame 100 according to an embodiment. Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the configuration of the picture frame 100. Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the unfolded body 1 of the picture frame 100, and is a diagram showing the inner surface. In Figure 3, the folds are represented by thin lines.

[0012] At concert venues, fabric products such as T-shirts and towels featuring designs related to the artist or tour theme on the front or back are sometimes sold. While these fabric products are carefully stored after the concert, their flexible nature makes them difficult to display on their own. The frame 100 can be used, for example, to frame such fabric products as the framed object S and display them.

[0013] As shown in Figure 2, the picture frame holder 100 comprises a main body 1, an inner back plate 91, and a folding shape maintenance device 96.

[0014] The main body 1 is formed as a rectangular, thick plate and includes a front plate 2, a peripheral wall 3, a back plate 4, a stand section 6, a stand holder section 7, and a window film 8 (see Figure 2). The front plate 2, peripheral wall 3, back plate 4, stand section 6, and stand holder section 7 are formed by assembling a single blank sheet 101 (see Figure 3), and the window film 8 is a film that is attached to the blank sheet 101 during assembly. The blank sheet 101 is made of corrugated cardboard, for example, but is not limited to this. Instead, it may be made of a flat, sheet-like material that can be processed, such as cardboard, wood, stone paper, plastic, or acrylic.

[0015] The front plate 2 is a rectangular plate-like body and has longitudinal side edges 23 and 24 which are a pair of long sides extending in a first direction D1, a short side edge 21 which is a short side extending in a second direction D2 by connecting one end of the longitudinal side edges 23 and 24, and a short side edge 22 which is a short side extending in a second direction D2 by connecting the other end of the longitudinal side edges 23 and 24 in the first direction D1. In this embodiment, the front plate 2 is rectangular and the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 are orthogonal, but is not limited to this.

[0016] Furthermore, a window portion 25 is formed in the front plate 2, excluding the edges. That is, the window portion 25 is a rectangular window extending in a first direction D1 and a second direction D2 that intersects the first direction D1, with the dimension in the first direction D1 being larger than the dimension in the second direction D2. The shape of the window is arbitrary, and the periphery of the window may extend in a wavy manner.

[0017] The peripheral wall 3 extends in the thickness direction of the main body 1 from the periphery of the front plate 2 in the assembled state and has a frame shape. When the peripheral wall 3 is placed on the installation surface A with the short side edge 22 of the front plate 2 positioned downward and the window portion 25 in a vertically long posture (see FIG. 4), it has a first portion 11 that abuts or faces the installation surface A. When the peripheral wall 3 is placed on the installation surface A with the long side edge 24 of the front plate 2 positioned downward and the window portion 25 in a horizontally long posture (see FIG. 5), it has a second portion 12 that abuts or faces the installation surface A. In other words, the first portion 11 is one end on one side in the first direction D1 of the main body 1, and the second portion 12 is one end on one side in the second direction D2 of the main body 1. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the first portion 11 is a portion where a fold is formed between a bottom plate 32 and an insertion claw 82, which will be described later, and the second portion 12 is the edge of the tip (free end) of a second side plate 34, which will be described later, and the side edge continuous with the back plate 4 of the third side plate 35.

[0018] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of use of the forehead fixture 100 and shows a vertically placed state. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of use of the forehead fixture 100 and shows a horizontally placed state.

[0019] The back plate 4 is a rectangular plate-like body continuous with the peripheral edge of the tip of the peripheral wall 3 extending from the front plate 2 in the assembled state, is formed to be substantially the same size as the front plate 2, and faces the front plate 2. That is, the back plate 4 has a short side edge 41 facing the short side edge 21 of the front plate 2, a short side edge 42 facing the short side edge 22 of the front plate 2, and a pair of long side edges 43, 44 facing the pair of long side edges 23, 24 of the front plate 2.

[0020] Furthermore, the back plate 4 has a first through-cut portion 45 that penetrates from its inner surface to its outer surface. The first through-cut portion 45 extends in the shape of the stand portion 6, which will be described later, and in the assembled state, it extends away from the first portion 11 when viewed from the normal direction of the back plate 4, then folds back and extends towards the first portion 11. In addition, the back plate 4 has a first fold line 46 that extends in a straight line connecting both ends of the first through-cut portion 45. The first fold line 46 is, for example, a shallow groove provided on the outer surface and / or inner surface of the back plate 4, but is not limited to this. Alternatively, the first fold line 46 may be formed by the user folding it during use. Also, the first fold line 46 may extend intermittently. The portion demarcated by these first through-cut portion 45 and first fold line 46 constitutes the stand portion 6. The stand section 6 is pivotable between a stand section storage angle position P11, which is on the same plane as the back plate 4 shown in Figure 2, and a stand section deployed angle position P12, which is rotated outward from the stand section storage angle position P11 using the first fold 46 shown in Figures 4 and 5 as the pivot axis. Due to the restoring force of the material of the main body 1, the stand section 6 is biased in the direction from the stand section deployed angle position P12 towards the stand section storage angle position P11. The angle between the stand section storage angle position P11 and the stand section deployed angle position P12 is 90 degrees or more.

[0021] The stand portion 6 is used to hold the main body 1 in a standing state, and includes a first support edge 61 and a second support edge 62 at the tip. As shown in FIG. 4, the first support edge 61 extends on a first plane B1 where the first portion 11 is located at the stand portion deployment angle position P12, and when placed on the installation surface A with the short side edge 22 of the front plate 2 positioned downward and the window portion 25 in a vertically long posture, it is a portion that abuts or faces the installation surface A. Also, as shown in FIG. 5, the second support edge 62 extends on a second plane B2 where the second portion 12 is located at the stand portion deployment angle position P12, and when placed on the installation surface A with the long side edge 24 of the front plate 2 positioned downward and the window portion 25 in a horizontally long posture, it is a portion that abuts or faces the installation surface A. Note that the angle formed by the first plane B1 and the plane in which the front plate 2 (window portion 25) extends, and the angle formed by the second plane B2 and the plane in which the front plate 2 (window portion 25) extends are 78 degrees or more and less than 82 degrees.

[0022] Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the stand portion 6 has a first insertion hole 63 and a second insertion hole 64 formed continuously on the first fold line 46 side of the stand portion 6 of the first insertion hole 63. The first insertion hole 63 and the second insertion hole 64 are holes that engage with a stand holding portion 7 described later.

[0023] Furthermore, the back plate 4 has a second through-cut portion 47 that penetrates from its inner surface to its outer surface. The second through-cut portion 47 extends in the shape of the stand holding portion 7, which will be described later. In addition, the back plate 4 has a second fold 48 that extends along a straight line connecting both ends of the second through-cut portion 47. The second fold 48 is, for example, a shallow groove provided on the outer surface and / or inner surface of the back plate 4, but is not limited to this. Alternatively, the second fold 48 may be formed by the user folding it during use. The portion demarcated by these second through-cut portion 47 and second fold 48 constitutes the stand holding portion 7. In this embodiment, the entire second through-cut portion 47 is located outside the stand portion 6, but a part of it may extend beyond the straight line where the first fold 46 is formed and be located inside the area demarcated by the first through-cut portion 45 and the first fold 46. The second fold 48 extends parallel to the first fold 46, for example. Also, the line connecting the midpoint of the first fold 46 and the midpoint of the second fold 48 is perpendicular to both the first fold 46 and the second fold 48, for example.

[0024] The stand holder 7 is pivotable between a holder storage angle position P21, which is on the same plane as the back plate 4 as shown in Figures 2 and 3, and a holder deployment angle position P22, which is rotated outward from the holder storage angle position P21 using the second fold 48 as the pivot axis as shown in Figures 4 and 5. Due to the restoring force of the material, the stand holder 7 is biased in the direction from the holder deployment angle position P22 toward the holder storage angle position P21. Furthermore, the stand holder 7 engages with the stand portion 6 located at the stand deployment angle position P12 at the holder deployment angle position P22, thereby restricting the pivoting of the stand portion 6.

[0025] A head portion 71 is formed at the tip of the stand holder portion 7 in a direction perpendicular to the second fold 48. The portion of the head portion 71 of the stand holder portion 7 on the side of the second fold 48 is constricted, and this portion forms the neck portion 72. That is, in the direction in which the second fold 48 extends, the width of the neck portion 72 is narrower than the width of the head portion 71. These head portion 71 and neck portion 72 engage with the first insertion hole 63 and the second insertion hole 64 of the stand portion 6. The first insertion hole 63 of the stand portion 6 is the portion through which the head portion 71 and the neck portion 72 of the stand holder portion 7, which are located at the extension angle position P22 of the holder portion, are inserted when the stand portion is extended at the extension angle position P12. The second insertion hole 64 is formed so that its width in the direction in which the second fold 48 extends is narrower than the head portion 71 and wider than the neck portion 72.

[0026] Then, the head portion 71 and neck portion 72 of the stand holder portion 7 are inserted into the first insertion hole 63, and after positioning the neck portion 72 within the first insertion hole 63, the stand holder portion 7 is swung toward the holder portion storage angle position P21, causing the neck portion 72 to be inserted into the second insertion hole 64. In this state, when the hand is released, the restoring force acting on the stand portion 6 causes the stand portion 6 to swing slightly from the stand portion deployment angle position P12 toward the stand portion storage angle position P11, and the head portion 71 catches on the periphery of the second insertion hole 64. This restricts the swinging of the stand portion 6. In this way, the swinging of the stand portion 6 can be appropriately restricted, and the stand portion 6 can be held in the stand portion deployment angle position P12.

[0027] Furthermore, due to the restoring force acting on the stand holder 7, the stand holder 7 is biased in the direction from the first insertion hole 63 towards the second insertion hole 64. This makes it difficult for the stand holder 7 to rotate from the second insertion hole 64 towards the first insertion hole 63, and the state in which the neck portion 72 is positioned within the second insertion hole 64 is easily maintained. Therefore, the stand holder 7 is less likely to detach unexpectedly from the stand portion 6. In addition, in this embodiment, the neck portion 72 of the stand holder 7 is constricted, and the portion of the stand holder 7 on the second fold 48 side of the neck portion 72 is wider in the direction in which the second fold 48 extends than the neck portion 72. This restricts the swing of the stand portion 6 not only in the direction toward the holder storage angle position P21 but also away from the holder deployment angle position P22. This makes the stand portion 6 more stable.

[0028] In this state, by placing the main body 1 on the installation surface A such that the first part 11 and the first support edge 61 abut against the installation surface A, the picture frame 100 can be placed in a position where the first direction D1 of the window part 25 extends vertically. Alternatively, by placing the main body 1 on the installation surface A such that the second part 12 and the second support edge 62 abut against the installation surface A, the picture frame 100 can be placed in a position where the second direction D2 of the window part 25 extends vertically.

[0029] In this way, depending on the storage state of the framed object S, the framed object S can be displayed on any location such as a table or shelf by allowing it to assume two different positions: one in which the first part 11 and the first support edge 61 are positioned on the installation surface A, and another in which the second part 12 and the second support edge 62 are positioned on the installation surface A.

[0030] The window film 8 is formed to be slightly larger than the window portion 25, and its periphery is provided with fixing means for attaching it to the inner surface of the front panel 2. This fixing means is, for example, double-sided tape, with one side pre-attached to the periphery of the window film 8 and the other side covered with release paper. By attaching the window film 8 to the inner surface of the front panel 2 so as to cover the window portion 25, the surface of the framed object S can be covered and the framed object S can be protected. The window film 8 is a transparent resin sheet, but is not limited to this. Alternatively, the window film 8 may be, for example, transparent glass.

[0031] Next, the blank sheet 101, which is the unfolded form of the main body 1, will be described in detail. Alternatively, a perforated line, which is a cutting line, may be formed on the front panel 2, extending along the periphery of the area that will become the window portion 25. The user can then cut and remove the area inside the perforated line from the front panel 2 to form the window portion 25. This prevents the front panel 2 from being bent during delivery, as the window portion 25 will not be formed on the front panel 2 until it reaches the user.

[0032] The peripheral wall 3 includes a top plate 31, a bottom plate 32, a first side plate 33, a second side plate 34, a third side plate 35, and a fixing part 36. The base end of the top plate 31 is connected to the short side edge 21 via a fold. An insertion claw 81 is connected to the tip of the top plate 31 via a fold. The base end of the bottom plate 32 is connected to the short side edge 22 via a fold. An insertion claw 82 is connected to the tip of the bottom plate 32 via a fold. In addition, a slit-shaped fixing claw insertion hole 83 is formed along the center of the fold between the bottom plate 32 and the insertion claw 82, into which a fixing claw 51, described later, is inserted. One side edge of the first side plate 33 is connected to one long side edge 23 of the front plate 2 via a fold, and the other side edge is connected to one long side edge 43 of the back plate 4 via a fold. The second side panel 34 has one side edge that is continuous with the other longitudinal side edge 24 of the front panel 2 via a fold, and the other side edge is a free end. This free end constitutes the second part 12 described above. The third side panel 35 has one side edge that is continuous with the other longitudinal side edge 44 of the back panel 4 via a fold, and the other side edge is a free end.

[0033] The fixing portion 36 is a fixing means for fixing the outer surface of the third side plate 35 to the inner surface of the second side plate 34, and is, for example, double-sided tape. One side of this double-sided tape is pre-attached to the outer surface of the third side plate 35, and the other side is covered with release paper. The peripheral wall 3 further includes flaps 37 that protrude from a total of four locations: the upper and lower ends of the first side plate 33 and the upper and lower ends of the second side plate 34.

[0034] The back panel 4 further includes a top panel side reinforcing portion 49, a bottom panel side reinforcing portion 50, and fixing claws 51. The top panel side reinforcing portion 49 is a plate-like body whose base end is connected to the short side edge 41 via a fold, and its tip is a free end. The inner surface of the top panel side reinforcing portion 49 is provided with a fixing portion 57, which is a fixing means for fixing the inner surface of the top panel side reinforcing portion 49 to the inner surface of the back panel 4. The bottom panel side reinforcing portion 50 is a plate-like body whose base end is connected to the short side edge 42 via a fold, and its tip is a free end. The inner surface of the bottom panel side reinforcing portion 50 is provided with a fixing portion 58, which is a fixing means for fixing the inner surface of the bottom panel side reinforcing portion 50 to the inner surface of the back panel 4. The fixing portions 57 and 58 are, for example, double-sided tape similar to the fixing portion 36.

[0035] Furthermore, a fixing claw 51 is provided in the center of the short side edge 42. The fixing claw 51 is a portion demarcated by a pair of through-cuts that extend from the free end of the bottom plate side reinforcement portion 50 to the inner portion of the short side edge 42 of the back plate 4, and a fold that extends connecting the tips of this pair of through-cuts.

[0036] Furthermore, the back panel 4 has a first wall-mounting device engagement hole 52, a second wall-mounting device engagement hole 53, and a third wall-mounting device engagement hole 54. These engagement holes 52-54 are, for example, circular holes and can be used to insert wall-mounting hooks or the like, or to pass hanging cords through them. The first wall-mounting device engagement hole 52 is formed in the assembled state on the opposite side of the first part 11 in the first direction D1 and on the opposite side of the second part 12 in the second direction D2. The second wall-mounting device engagement hole 53 is formed in the assembled state on the opposite side of the first part 11 in the first direction D1 and on the side of the second part 12 in the second direction D2. The third wall-mounting device engagement hole 54 is formed in the assembled state on the opposite side of the first part 11 in the first direction D1 and on the opposite side of the second part 12 in the second direction D2. This allows the picture frame 100 to be suspended in a position where the first direction D1 of the window section 25 extends vertically, for example, by inserting the hanging cord through the first engagement hole 52 and the second engagement hole 53 of the wall mount, tying the ends of the hanging cord together, and hooking this hanging cord onto a hook or the like attached to the wall. Alternatively, the picture frame 100 can be suspended in a position where the second direction D2 of the window section 25 extends vertically, by inserting the hanging cord through the first engagement hole 52 and the third engagement hole 54 of the wall mount, tying the ends of the hanging cord together, and hooking this hanging cord onto a hook or the like attached to the wall.

[0037] As shown in Figure 2, the inner back plate 91 is a plate-like body and is sized to cover from the inside the portion partitioned by the first through-cut portion 45 and the first fold 46, and the portion partitioned by the second through-cut portion 47 and the second fold 48. This allows the opening formed in the back plate 4 when the stand portion 6 is positioned at the stand portion unfolded angle position P12, and the opening formed in the back plate 4 when the stand holding portion 7 is positioned at the holding portion unfolded angle position P22, thereby protecting the framed object S.

[0038] The folding shape retainer 96 is a plate-like body for maintaining the folded shape of the flexible framed object S, which is a fabric product, and is formed to be slightly smaller than the front plate 2. A recess is formed in the center of one of the shorter sides of the folding shape retainer 96 for use in aligning the framed object S.

[0039] The inner back panel 91 and the folding shape retainer 96 are made of corrugated cardboard, for example, like the blank sheet 101, but are not limited to this, and may be made of cardboard or wood instead.

[0040] Next, the method for assembling the picture frame 100 will be described. The picture frame 100 is sold as a kit that includes, for example, a blank sheet 101, a window film 8, a folding shape retainer 96, and an inner backing board 91, and is assembled by the user.

[0041] When the user assembles the picture frame 100, the user first attaches the window film 8 to the inner surface of the front panel 2 so as to cover the window section 25 from the inside. The window film 8 may be attached to the blank sheet 101 from the beginning. The user then folds the top panel side reinforcement 49 and the bottom panel side reinforcement 50 inward and attaches them to the back panel 4 using the fixing parts 57 and 58. This increases the rigidity of the back panel 4 and prevents the back panel 4 from bulging outward when the framed object S is placed inside.

[0042] Next, the user places the blank sheet 101 on a table or other surface with its inner surface facing upwards, and places the framed object S on top of the window 25 so that the pattern to be viewed through the window 25 is positioned above it. During this process, the user can lift the blank sheet 101 as needed and look into the window 25 from below to confirm that the desired positioning has been achieved. If the width of the pattern on the framed object S is too wide and does not fit within the window 25, the framed object S is rotated 90 degrees and repositioned on the window 25 so that the pattern extends in the second direction D2 of the window 25. Then, the user places the folding shape retainer 96 on top of the framed object S and folds the framed object S so that the part that extends beyond the folding shape retainer 96 rests on top of the folding shape retainer 96. As a result, the folding shape retainer 96 is positioned inside the folded framed object S, and the folding shape retainer 96 holds the framed object S in place.

[0043] Next, the user folds the main body 1 along the folds formed along the longitudinal edges 23, 24, 43, and 44, and secures the third side plate 35 to the second side plate 34 with the fixing part 36. Then, the user folds the four flaps 37 inward along the folds formed on the short side edge 22 and along the folds formed at the boundary between the bottom plate 32 and the insertion claws 82, and inserts the insertion claws 82 into the area enclosed by the front plate 2, the first side plate 33, the second side plate 34, the third side plate 35, and the lower edge of the back plate 4. This allows the area to be closed with the bottom plate 32.

[0044] The user then inserts the tip of the fixing claw 51 into the fixing claw insertion hole 83. This restricts the swinging of the base plate 32, preventing the base plate 32 from swinging unintentionally due to the load of the framed object S and causing the bottom of the main body 1 to come loose.

[0045] Furthermore, the user folds the panel at the creases formed on the shorter side edges 21 and at the creases formed at the boundary between the top panel 31 and the insertion claws 81, and inserts the insertion claws 81 into the area enclosed by the top panel 2, the first side panel 33, the second side panel 34, the third side panel 35, and the upper edge of the back panel 4. This closes the area with the top panel 31.

[0046] The user then swings the stand portion 6 from the stand portion storage angle position P11 to the stand portion deployment angle position P12, and swings the stand holder portion 7 from the holder portion storage angle position P21 to the holder portion deployment angle position P22. The user then engages the stand portion 6 and the stand holder portion 7. This restricts the swinging of the stand portion 6.

[0047] Furthermore, since the angle between the first plane B1, the second plane B2, and the plane on which the window section 25 extends is between 78 degrees and 82 degrees, the framed object S can be easily viewed through the window section 25 and the framed object can be placed on the installation surface A.

[0048] When putting away the picture frame 100 installed on the mounting surface A, the engagement between the stand part 6 and the stand holder part 7 is released, and they are positioned at the stand part storage angle position P11 and the holder part storage angle position P21, respectively. This makes the picture frame 100 flat and compact. This allows the picture frame 100 to be neatly stored in a chest of drawers or closet. Storing it in a chest of drawers with other clothing items increases the risk of wrinkles forming on the framed items S. However, storing the framed items S in the picture frame 100 before storing it in the chest of drawers prevents fabric distortion, making it possible to store not only valuable T-shirts but also high-end brand items that you want to keep wrinkle-free. Furthermore, if the window part 25 is facing upwards when stored in a cabinet, the contents can be seen without opening it, which is convenient. In addition, multiple picture frames 100 can be neatly displayed on a bookshelf, improving the overall appearance.

[0049] As described above, the picture frame 100 comprises a front panel 2 having a window portion 25 extending in a first direction D1 and a second direction D2 intersecting the first direction D1, a peripheral wall 3 extending from the periphery of the front panel 2, a back panel 4 connected to the peripheral wall 3 having a first through-cut portion 45, the portion extending in a straight line connecting both ends of the first through-cut portion 45 forming a first fold 46, and a stand portion storage angle position P11 located on the same plane as the back panel 4, separated by the first through-cut portion 45 and the first fold 46, and a stand portion deployment angle position P12 rotated outward from the stand portion storage angle position P11 with the first fold 46 as the pivot axis. The main body 1 includes a stand portion 6 that can swing between two positions, and a stand holding portion 7 that engages with the stand portion 6 at the stand portion deployment angle position P12 and restricts the swinging of the stand portion 6. One end of the main body 1 in the first direction D1 forms a first portion 11, and one end of the main body 1 in the second direction D2 forms a second portion 12. The stand portion 6 has a first support edge 61 extending on a first plane B1 where the first portion 11 is located at the stand portion deployment angle position P12, and a second support edge 62 extending on a second plane B2 where the second portion 12 is located at the stand portion deployment angle position P12. This allows the framed object S to be stored in an orientation corresponding to the shape of the pattern of the framed object S, and the framed object S to be displayed in a posture corresponding to the stored state of the framed object S. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the entire pattern of the framed object S from not fitting in the window portion 25 and part of it from being cut off. Furthermore, it can be displayed in any location, such as on a table or shelf.

[0050] The back plate 4 has a second through-cut portion 47, and the portion extending in a straight line connecting both ends of the second through-cut portion 47 forms a second fold 48. The stand holding portion 7 is the portion demarcated by the second through-cut portion 47 and the second fold 48, and is pivotable between a holding portion storage angle position P21 located on the same plane as the back plate 4 and a holding portion deployment angle position P22 rotated outward from the holding portion storage angle position P21 with the second fold 48 as the pivot axis. At the holding portion deployment angle position P22, it may engage with the stand portion 6 located at the stand portion deployment angle position P12. This allows for appropriate restriction of the swinging of the stand portion 6.

[0051] The first through-cut portion 45 extends away from the first portion 11 when viewed from the normal direction of the back plate 4, and then extends towards the first portion 11, and the angle between the stand portion storage angle position P11 and the stand portion deployment angle position P12 is 90 degrees or more. The stand holding portion 7 has a head portion 71 formed at the tip in a direction perpendicular to the second fold 48, and a neck portion 72 formed on the second fold 48 side of the head portion 71, which is narrower than the head portion 71 in the direction in which the second fold 48 extends. The stand portion 6 may have a first insertion hole 63 through which the head portion 71 and the neck portion 72 are inserted at the stand portion deployment angle position P12, and a second insertion hole 64 formed continuously with the first insertion hole 63 on the first fold 46 side of the stand portion 6, which is narrower than the head portion 71 and wider than the neck portion 72 in the direction in which the second fold 48 extends. This allows for appropriate restriction of the swinging of the stand portion 6.

[0052] The front panel 2, the peripheral wall 3, and the back panel 4 may be assembled from a single blank sheet 101. By aligning the framed object S before assembly, it is possible to effectively prevent misalignment of the framed object S and wrinkles in the framed object S, compared to inserting the framed object S from the area enclosed by the upper edges of the front panel 2, the first side panel 33, the second side panel 34, the third side panel 35, and the back panel 4.

[0053] The front panel 2 and the back panel 4 each have a pair of side edges, and the peripheral wall 3 may have a first side panel 33 that is continuous with one side edge of the front panel 2 and one side edge of the back panel 4 via a fold, a second side panel 34 that is continuous with the other side edge of the front panel 2 via a fold, a third side panel 35 that is continuous with the other side edge of the back panel 4 via a fold, and fixing means for fixing the third side panel 35 to the second side panel 34. This effectively prevents misalignment of the framed object S during assembly.

[0054] The frame may further include an inner back plate 91 positioned inside the portion partitioned by the first through-cut portion 45 and the first fold 46. This allows the opening formed in the back plate 4 when the stand portion 6 is positioned at the stand portion unfolded angle position P12 to be covered from the inside, thereby protecting the framed object S.

[0055] The framed object S is a folded fabric product, and may further include a folding shape retainer 96 to maintain the folded shape of the fabric product. This prevents the shape of the flexible framed object S, which is a fabric product, from collapsing. In particular, when a flexible framed object S is placed in a frame, when the frame is raised, gravity can cause it to slide down inside the main body 1 and become biased downwards. The frame 100, with the folding shape retainer 96 positioned inside the folded framed object S, can reduce the gap between the inner surface of the main body 1 and the framed object S, and can hold the framed object S between the front plate 2 and the back plate 4. Furthermore, by folding back the portion of the framed object S that protrudes from the folding shape retainer 96 so that it rests on the folding shape retainer 96, the thickness of the folded portion is further increased, allowing the framed object S to be held more securely between the front plate 2 and the back plate 4.

[0056] The angle between the first plane B1 and the plane on which the window section 25 extends may be 78 degrees or more and less than 82 degrees. This makes it easier to see the framed object S through the window section 25 and allows it to be placed on the installation surface A.

[0057] In the above embodiment, a T-shirt was used as an example of the item to be framed S, but it is not limited to this. It may be applied to other shirts instead. Furthermore, it is not limited to shirts, but may be applied to decorate other clothing, towels, hand towels, and other fabric products.

[0058] Furthermore, the surrounding wall 3 and back panel 4 may have fields for recording the contents of the framed object S and the date on which the framed object S was acquired. This allows the contents of the framed object S to be easily identified by checking the fields on the surrounding wall 3, even when the framed object 100 is placed in a bookshelf and the window section 25 is hidden.

[0059] Furthermore, the shape of the top plate 2 is not limited to a rectangle, but may be any shape.

[0060] From the above description, many improvements and other embodiments of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the above description should be interpreted as illustrative only and is provided for the purpose of teaching those skilled in the art the best mode of carrying out the invention. The details of its structure and / or function can be substantially modified without departing from the spirit of the invention. [Explanation of symbols]
