Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2496978A] A frame 10 in which an image is mounted for display purposes, and a kit of parts to form such a frame, comprises a first section 12 arranged to provide an upper continuous perimeter to the apparatus, a second section 14 arranged to provide a lower continuous perimeter to the apparatus and which is located behind and spaced apart from the first section and a supporting spacer 16 located between the first and second sections. The supporting spacer is set back from an outer edge of the upper continuous perimeter of the framing apparatus. The second section is preferably formed from metal, such as aluminium or steel, a resin or a transparent plastic material such as PerspexRTM. The first section may be fabricated from the same material as the first. A single supporting spacer or a plurality of supporting spacers may be employed. Markings or studs 40 may be provided on the supporting spacer so as to provide a decorative alignment guide when the frame is hung on a wall.
