Embodiment Construction

[0016]Turning first to FIG. 1, seen is one embodiment of a framing system 100. It is contemplated that throughout the application, the term framing system 100 may simply be referred to as a system 100. The framing system 100 of FIG. 1 comprises a frame 130 and three removable image panels 110 and at least one image panel coupling mechanism 120 associated with each removable image panel 110. The term “removable” and other related terms refer to an ability to quickly and easily couple and uncouple two or more objects in a repeated manner, without the need to remove any other portions of the frame (e.g., a back panel, etc.) or the frame from the wall. Although the frame 130 seen in FIG. 1 comprises a single frame 130, it is contemplated that the system 100 may comprise a plurality of frames 130 which may or may not be coupled together.

[0017]The displayed coupling mechanisms 120 in FIG. 1 comprise a plurality of first coupling mechanisms 120′ and second coupling mechanisms 120″ coupled ...

Abstract

Described herein is a picture framing system comprising a frame and at least one display panel. The frame comprises one or more first portions of a coupling mechanism and the at least one display panel comprises corresponding one or more second portions of the coupling mechanism. The frame further comprises at least one of a baseboard, sideboard, cross-bar, and support beam. The at least one of a baseboard, sideboard, cross-bar, and support beam may be one of coupled an integrated to another of the baseboard, sideboard, and cross-bar. The coupling mechanism is adapted to removably couple the panel to the frame without removing the frame from the wall or re-leveling the frame upon coupling a new panel to the frame.
