One of the frame members is attached to the backing or to adjacent frame member hinge apparatus. The hingedly attached frame member is movable about the hinge apparatus from a closed position to an open position to allow introduction of the viewable object into the opening. Detent apparatus between the movable frame member and adjacent frame members hold the frame member in a closed position.
