Abstract (en)

A picture frame (10) comprises a thin sheet of material having a first slot (11) for retaining a picture and a second slot (12) which defines a portion (17) which can be bent relative to the rest of the frame to constitute a support. The slot (11) extends along three edges of the frame; alternatively two slots (31a, 31b) extend along opposite edges of the frame. The sheet material is resilient so that inner and outer portions (16, 15) are resiliently biassed to a coplanar position.
