Plural Connected Frames Or Frame Having Means To Connect With Another Frame Patents (Class 40/729)
  • Patent number: 5544438
    Abstract: A card and picture holder is formed from two identical, generally planar half portions, which are assembled together to capture a card, picture or other planar display object therebetween. Each half portion includes a transparent center window therein, so an article(s) sandwiched within the two portions may be viewed from either side. Each half portion includes a plurality of slotted channels formed in the periphery, which channels form hinge passages in the completed assembly and serve to capture the pins of interconnectors or a hanger(s) therein. The interconnectors are identical and symmetrical, and include an intermediate member which provides sufficient distance between the two opposite pins to allow for the thickness of the holders comprising an assembly of interconnected holders. Thus, the holders may be folded over one another for compact storage.
