  • Patent number: 5044100
    Abstract: A mounting case for one or more photographs including a cover member and a rim member having an inner stepped edge attached to the inner surface of the cover member and a card member having inner and outer edges attached to the rim member, the inner edge of the card member being spaced slightly more inwardly than the inner stepped edge of the card member so as to form a locking recess between the inner stepped edge of the rim member, the inner surface of the cover member, and the card member. A mounting mat capable of holding a photograph has an outer rim edge that is adapted to lock into the recess against the inner surface of the cover member against the inner stepped edge of the rim member. Once the photograph or photographs are mounted to the mat, the mat is slid by way of a slot into the locking recess. The mat can form a number of cutouts of varied configurations that frame various photographs simultaneously.
