Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0045682A1] A stand for a picture frame, and a picture frame as such, are disclosed in which a leg is provided which can support the frame in a generally upright position. The stand comprises a bracket coupled to the rear of the frame and the leg is receivable by the bracket in either of a first orientation, in which the leg lies against or adjacent the rear of the frame to minimise the bulk of the stand, and a second orientation in which the leg projects backward from the frame to support it. Engagement of the leg and bracket is by means of a projection, which is preferably formed on the leg, and a slot, which is preferably defined by the bracket, the projection being insertable in the slot. The bracket may also be adapted to receive means such as a hook for hanging the frame, e.g. by inclusion of an appropriate cut-away.
