  • Patent number: 5400533
    Abstract: Using an elastomeric material of appropriate rigidity, a decorative frame is formed and attachment to a surface is provided by an integral adhesive strip. The cross section of the framing material reveals a decorative contour and a step which accurately locates the poster or picture to be framed while not bonding it to the frame. Alternatively, a strip of adhesive inside the step can be exposed to bond the art work (or perhaps a transparent over-layer such as glass or acrylic) to the framing members. This latter strip adhesive would facilitate moisture proofing of the art work for application in a humid environment such as a bathroom or pool area.
