Abstract: A method of providing a photographic memento is provided. The method includes receiving, at a computer system from a mobile computing device of a user, an order for a photographic memento that includes photo data, formatting instructions, and account information. The method includes printing a formatted image on a first side of a rigid substrate and printing supplemental information on a second side of the rigid substrate. The formatted image is based on the photo data and the formatting instructions and the supplemental information is based on the order data. The method further includes cutting the photographic memento from the rigid substrate in a predefined shape and generating shipping information for the photographic memento based on account information and/or the order data.

Abstract: A portable one-piece foam frame for use in securing a screen and/or screen stencil film for use in an off-contact stenciling operation. The assembly includes a paper or release covering an adhesive on one side of the frame. A non-skid coating may be applied to the base of the frame to keep it from shifting or moving during a stenciling operation.

Abstract: The invention provides a securing device for use in securing an object to a supporting surface, and/or for restraining an object relative to a supporting surface. The securing device includes a base (20) having a loading region (28) to which a force is applied by the object. The securing device also includes a first securing member (30) and a second securing member (50) for securing the base to the supporting surface, the base (20) pivotably engaging the first securing member (30) in order for the base to be able to transmit a force to the first securing member substantially without inducing a moment about the first securing member.

Abstract: The hanger with photo display is a support hook(s) incorporating a display adjunct. The hook is fabricated from a flat sheet of material. The material is capable of a high degree of flexing without breaking. Double-sided tape is employed to mount the sheet on a flat, vertical surface such as a wall or door. The sheet is sized to neatly present a display item. The display item may take the form of a photograph, an advertisement, a message, or the like. The display item can be easily changed without causing the double-sided mounting tape to release. The hook is designed to support a load of pre-determined maximum weight. If the pre-determined weight is exceeded, the hook will bend (without breaking) to release the load.

Abstract: A sheet includes a plurality of incisions that define a plurality of frames. The frames are arranged in a geometric pattern to facilitate selection of an appropriate frame for cropping an image displayed on photographic media. The frames are connected to each other by an adhesive layer and substrate. Alternatively, the frames are connected by tags or micro-perfs. A transparent crop selector is used to facilitate selection of an appropriately sized frame.

Abstract: A framing device, used for displaying items such as photographs, certificates and the like, includes a translucent sheet-like material having an outward side and an inward side, both having a common continuous edge. An adhesive is applied along the inward side adjacent to the continuous edge in such a manner that a portion of such edge remains adhesive-free. A sheet of backing material has a first side and a second side and the first side of such foam is positionally secured by the adhesive and with respect to the translucent material. And a release liner is attached to the second side of the backing material. The adhesive-free portion of the edge and the sheet of backing material define a slot permitting insertion and removal of an item to be displayed.

Abstract: A device, used for holding and displaying items such as photographs, certificates, compact discs and the like, includes a coversheet having an outward side and an inward side and an edge. A foam sheet material has front and back sides with the front side being connected with respect to the coversheet such that the device includes an entry portion to a pocket for holding the item. The back side of such foam clings to a display surface in a removable and replaceable manner. A backing material may be positioned between the foam sheet material and the coversheet.

Abstract: A cardboard-plastic slide mount includes a cardboard bottom, a cardboard cover and a plastic brace between the bottom and the cover. The cardboard bottom and the cardboard cover include aligned film windows. The cover and bottom have a plastic coating on their inner surface, allowing the plastic brace to be bonded to the cover and base using a bonding agent. When assembled, the plastic brace is located between the bottom and the cover to define a film nest for containing a film transparency.

Abstract: An exchangeable decorative frame cover is provided for decoration. The exchangeable decorative frame cover includes a frame cover made of flexible material with a shape adaptable to a solid frame, and a means for securing the frame cover on to the solid frame, and releasing the frame cover from the solid frame. The exchangeable decorative frame cover can be made of fabric, leather, fur and plastics. Additionally, a kit is also provided, which contains a plurality of exchangeable decorative frame covers for providing a decorative picture frame an ability to be matched with eclectic decor. The kit can further include a picture frame together with a plurality of exchangeable decorative frame covers.

Abstract: A backing material (1) is resistant to variations in heat, temperature and in moisture. Further, the backing material (1) is large in bending strength, tearing strength and in resiliency. Still further, the backing material (1) is relatively thin in thickness and light in weight, is tough, and is under tension so as to be resistant to curling and warping deformation. A worker may cut the backing material using ordinary scissors, knives and like ordinary cutting tools. Even an amateur worker may easily treat the backing material in a mirror-finishing operation of a photograph. Disposed on a photograph bonding surface of the backing material (1) are an immense number of deposits of an adhesive (2). These deposits assume dot-like shapes or linear shapes, and are provided at appropriate intervals. Alternatively, the photograph bonding surface is dense with geometrical microscopic irregularities or microscopic through-holes being filled with an adhesive.
