  • Publication number: 20010005953
    Abstract: A credit card-size plastics display frame defines a front rectangular opening and coplanar side grooves peripherally around this opening for receiving a photograph and a protective window in front thereof, the window being usable as a template to cut an appropriately sized photograph from a standard size picture for insertion in the display frame. The photograph and the window are installed in the frame by front loading through the rectangular opening. The rear wall of the frame defines panels which can be selectively, and reversibly, folded back to form a foot member to allow the frame to stand on a horizontal surface. A diamond-shaped cutout is defined in the rear wall to allow the display frame to be hung on a wall with a nail and to facilitate the removal of the photograph and window from the frame.
