The light-emitting unit 15 emits light toward the rear side of the holding frame 7, that is, toward the rear side of the art frame 3. In other words, the light-emitting unit 15 emits light toward the wall or the like at the base of the support arm 5.

[0026] The light-emitting section 15 according to this embodiment is a so-called "LED strip light" in which a large number of LEDs are arranged in series to form a strip (tape). The light-emitting section 15 is positioned on the back side of the holding frame 7 so as to surround the mounting section 7H.

[0027] <2.1 Details of the gripping unit> The gripping unit 10, as shown in Figure 5, includes at least a first block 10C, a second block 10D, a bolt 10E, and a sliding pin 10F. The first block 10C and the second block 10D are made of aluminum, and the sliding pin 10F is made of stainless steel.

[0028] The first block 10C is a member provided with a first contact portion 10A. The first contact portion 10A is the part that contacts the inner surface P11 (see Figure 4) of the frame P1. The second block 10D is a member provided with a second contact portion 10B, and is a member that can be displaced relative to the first block 10C. The second contact portion 10B is the part that contacts the outer surface P12 (see Figure 4) of the frame P1.

[0029] As shown in Figure 4, bolt 10E is a long bolt that penetrates the second block 10D and reaches the first block 10C. This bolt 10E is connected to a female threaded hole 10G provided in the first block 10C.

[0030] As shown in Figure 6, the sliding pin 10F extends parallel to the bolt 10E from the second block 10D toward the first block 10C and is fitted into a guide hole 10H provided in the first block 10C (see Figure 4). The sliding pin 10F is capable of sliding contact with the inner wall surface of the guide hole 10H.

[0031] The female screw hole 10G and the guide hole 10H are arranged in series on the coaxial line, as shown in Figure 4. The sliding pin 10F is provided with a through hole 10J (see Figure 6) through which the bolt 10E passes. The inner circumference of the through hole 10J is provided with a female thread that connects to the male thread of the bolt 10E.

[0032] The second block 10D is provided with a first fixing part 10K and a second fixing part 10L. The first fixing part 10K is the part to which the front panel 11 is fixed. The second fixing part 10L is the part to which the frame 13 is fixed. In this embodiment, the front panel 11 and the frame 13 are fixed to the second block 10D with small screws.

[0033] <2.2 Details of the picture frame (see Figure 7)> The picture frame 13 is constructed by connecting eight first members 13A and a plurality of second members 13B. Each of the eight first members 13A is a member that forms a corner of the picture frame 13. For this reason, one end of each first member 13A in the longitudinal direction is inclined at 45 degrees with respect to that longitudinal direction. One end of each first member 13A in the longitudinal direction is perpendicular to that longitudinal direction.

[0034] The second member 13B is a linear member that connects adjacent first members 13A. The second member 13B is composed of one or more (one in this embodiment) unit members 13C having predetermined lengths.

[0035] In other words, the second member 13B related to the picture frame 13 shown in Figure 7 is composed of a single unit member 13C. However, if the second member 13B is made up of multiple unit members 13C connected together, the length of the second member 13B will increase.

[0036] <2.3 Details of the retaining frame> As shown in Figure 3, the retaining frame 7 includes a frame body 7A and an edge frame 7E, etc. The frame body 7A is a rectangular plate-shaped member with a mounting portion 7H provided in the center.

[0037] The edge frame 7E is a rectangular frame-shaped member that covers the edge of the frame body 7A. As shown in Figure 8, the edge frame 7E is composed of four third members 7B and four fourth members 7C.

[0038] Each of the four third members 7B is a member that constitutes a corner of the edge frame 7E. The fourth member 7C is a linear member that connects adjacent third members 7B. The fourth member 7C is composed of one or more (in this embodiment, more) unit members 7D having predetermined lengths. The multiple adhesive plates 7F are gussets that bond adjacent unit members 7D and also bond the third members 7B and the fourth member 7C.

[0039] <3. Features of the exhibit holder according to this embodiment> According to the exhibit holder 1 of this embodiment, the exhibit P is held in the exhibit holder 1 by the gripping unit 10 gripping the frame P1, as shown in Figure 4.

[0040] The gripping unit 10 is supported via the gripping frame 9, and the front plate 11 is supported by the gripping unit 10. Therefore, the exhibit holder 1 can hold exhibits P such as oil paintings.

[0041] The gripping unit 10 is also provided with a second fixing part 10L. This fixes the picture frame 13 to the gripping unit 10, thus preventing damage to the exhibit P when attaching the picture frame 13.

[0042] The second component 13B of the picture frame 13 is composed of one or more unit components 13C having predetermined lengths. This allows the manufacturer of the picture frame 13 to easily change the length of the second component 13B by increasing or decreasing the number of unit components 13C.

[0043] The fourth member 7C of the edge frame 7E is composed of one or more unit members 7D having predetermined lengths. This allows the manufacturer of the edge frame 7E to easily change the length of the fourth member 7C by increasing or decreasing the number of unit members 7D.

[0044] The light-emitting unit 15 is provided on the holding frame 7, and the holding frame 7 and space 7G (see Figure 4) are provided between the light-emitting unit 15 and the exhibit P. This helps to suppress the transfer of heat generated in the light-emitting unit 15 to the exhibit P. For this reason, the holding frame 7 is configured to bulge outwards on the back side of the exhibit P so that space 7G is formed between it and the gripping frame 9.

[0045] (Second Embodiment) As shown in Figure 9, this embodiment has a configuration in which a speaker 17 is provided on the gripping frame 9. The speaker 17 is located approximately in the center of the gripping frame 9.

That is, the disclosure may also include, for example, a configuration in which at least one of the mounting portion 7H and the light-emitting portion 15 is omitted.

[0048] The picture frame 13 and retaining frame 7 according to the above embodiment were configured such that multiple members were joined together, and the length could be changed by changing the number of unit members 13C and 7D. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0049] In the above-described embodiment, the front plate 11 and the frame 13 were fixed to the gripping unit 10. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. That is, the disclosure may also include a configuration in which at least one of the front plate 11 and the frame 13 is fixed to something other than the gripping unit 10.

[0050] In the above-described embodiment, the female screw hole 10G and the guide hole 10H of the gripping unit 10 are arranged in series on the coaxial line, and the bolt 10E passes through the sliding pin 10F. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. That is, the disclosure may also include a configuration in which, for example, the bolt 10E and the sliding pin 10F are offset from each other.

[0051] Furthermore, this disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above, but is sufficient to be consistent with the intent of the disclosures described in the embodiments described above.
