Abstract: A stretcher frame apparatus and methods for stretching and mounting a fabric, such as canvas, to a supporting surface, such as a wall. The apparatus has two opposing elongated frame members that are attached to opposite sides of a fabric. When the frame members are first mounted to the wall, the fabric will have slack, but the fabric is made taut when the user inserts removable elongated tension member(s) between the wall and rear side of the fabric. Preferably, two tension members are inserted between the wall and the mounted fabric and then slid in opposite directions toward the mounted frame members. This apparatus and method allows a user to forgo cumbersome four-sided box frames, and instead provides a simple, easy to use apparatus for mounting decorative fabric-based images to a wall.

Abstract: A framing system for dependently supporting an object generally comprises a plurality of frame elements for perimetrically engaging the object to be framed and a plurality of securing members. The frame elements are defined one from another by a plurality of interiorly projecting slots in their outer perimeter. For engaging the frame elements to secure the object to be framed, the securing members each comprise an extended slot. Upon mating of the extended slot of a securing member with a one of the interiorly projecting slots, a distal portion of the securing member projects into the inner perimeter of the frame elements to engage the outer edge of the object to be framed. The frame elements may comprise a single structure or a plurality of structures. In the case of a plurality of structures, the framing system may be formed to have a unitary base and a unitary top. Framing of an object is thus simplified as the object need only be placed into the unitary base, whereafter the unitary top may be affixed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a picture frame consisting of four separate mounting support pieces that interconnect to glass or an acrylic glass sheet to form a support system or frame element. A separate sheet of glass, acrylic glass, matting or any such backing material is used as a backing to hold the picture centered in the middle of the frame. The frame has excess acrylic, glass or backing material to enhance the picture. When acrylic or glass is used this brings out the floating picture effect being a translucent background. This unique style enables picture viewers to visually see the background wall of any color or style thru the excess glass matting. The mounting support piece and acrylic glass or glass piece being separate pieces are joined together forming one individual front piece of the picture frame. Each mounting support piece is completed with a sawtooth hanger to enable the consumer to hang the picture on the wall of their choice.
