  • Patent number: 9730533
    Abstract: A frame for displaying items such as photographs, drawings, paintings, or documents, as well as a method of displaying such items, is provided. A substantially flat panel has a plurality of holes extending through the panel. A line, such as a string or rope, extends through each of the holes alternately through the front side of the panel and through the back side of the panel. The line is pulled taut to substantially remove slack in the line so that the line runs along the front surface of the panel between pairs of holes. The line is configured to cover corners or edges of a display item, thereby holding the display item securely in place within the frame.
