  • Patent number: 7654025
    Abstract: A frame is mounted to a front surface of a previously mounted mirror so that recesses in the back side of the frame receive protruding portions of fasteners which attach the frame to a supporting structure. Guide structures are temporarily mounted to the front surface of the mirror to facilitate the mounting of the frame to the mirror. The guide structures are used to suspend the frame in a position forward of the mirror. Then, while the frame is suspended by the guide structures, the frame is pushed toward the mirror so that the frame slides along the guide structures. As a result, adhesive strips, which are mounted to the back of the frame, engage the front surface of the mirror and become adhered thereto, so that the frame is mounted to the front surface of the mirror by the adhesive strips.

  • Patent number: 6612060
    Abstract: A non-integral frame apparatus provides, in combination, plural separate lengths of a frame structure mounted onto a mirror or similar object. Each of the lengths of the frame structure provide an outwardly facing surface with a generally decorative design, and an inwardly facing planar surface. The inwardly facing surfaces of the lengths of the frame structure provide mounting engagement devices such that the lengths of frame structure are fixed onto the mirror in an end-to-end, closed-figure arrangement without mutual engagement. This enables the mirror to appear as if framed by an integral frame assembly without suffering the drawbacks of making, handling and using such.
