Abstract: A hinge having a pair of hinge plates which are reasonably connectable to each other for limited relative rotation. Each plate includes a generally flat base portion and a connecting portion disposed at an end of the base portion. The connecting portion of one of the hinge plates comprises a socket extending generally transverse of the base portion. The socket is defined in part by the flat base portion and in part by a socket wall connected at one end thereof to the base portion. The other end of the socket wall is a free end that faces generally towards and is spaced slightly from the base portion. The connecting portion of the other hinge plate is generally flat and includes a first portion that extends generally side to side of the hinge plate and is sized and adapted to fit within the socket, and a second portion intermediate the first portion and the base portion that defines a cut-out for receiving the free end of the socket wall of the one hinge plate.

Abstract: Picture frame assembly comprising a frame element having inwardly facing, opposed, generally U-shaped grooves in its opposite sides and a similar groove in one end, and a rigid back plate slidably receivable within the grooves, and an integral hanging clip having a U-shaped retaining portion slideably positioned between one of the grooves and one of the edges of the back plate, a spacing portion and a hanging portion extending inwardly from the frame element, offset from the exterior of the back plate, for receiving an external hanging device.
