Description

BACKGROUND

Fabric poster prints and photo prints have seen a recent increase in popularity, and have been becoming increasingly ubiquitous as displays in homes, offices, or other locales. Improvements in printer technology have made fabric poster prints and photo prints relatively inexpensive and high-quality, making them increasingly attractive as an option. Many also appreciate the different aesthetics and display methods that may be possible with a fabric poster or photo print. For example, fabric poster or photo prints can be, and often are, displayed as a “gallery wrap,” a type of display method that entails stretching the print around the sides of a frame so that the frame is hidden and the print appears to be displayed framelessly. Some fabric poster or photo prints may even be formed around a nonrectangular, or even irregularly-shaped or three-dimensional, frame, such as is done in “shaped canvas” painting.

Many traveling researchers, sales professionals, and other business professionals have also appreciated the travel-related benefits of fabric poster and photo prints for their presentation visual aids or other visual displays. One key benefit is that such displays can be easily folded and placed in luggage without the risk of creasing the fabric poster or photo print, which eliminates the need for the traveling professional to carry around a bulky poster carrying tube as they would traditionally have to.

However, the significant amount of customization potential that is offered by fabric poster and photo printing technology is hampered by the lack of customization innovations in framing techniques for fabric poster and photo prints. Current practices for framelessly displaying fabric poster or photo prints typically require the use of stretcher or strainer bars, which are typically rectangular braces of fixed size that cannot be easily altered once assembled. This limits the sizes and shapes of fabric poster and photo prints that can be framed with a standard frame to those matching the size of the custom frame. Such frames are also often bulky, which causes problems for traveling professionals who may need to transport a display stand or frame that can be used to display their presentation materials.

It should be understood that the described embodiments are not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. Moreover, the terms “embodiments of the invention”, “embodiments” or “invention” do not require that all embodiments of the invention include the discussed feature, advantage or mode of operation.

Turning now to exemplary FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C, exemplary embodiments of a modular poster print stretch frame 100A, 100B, and 100C may be displayed.

Turning first to exemplary FIG. 1A, an exemplary embodiment of a modular poster print stretch frame 100A having a rectangular shape may be disclosed. Modular poster print stretch frame may include a number of side pieces 102A that make up each side of the rectangular modular poster print stretch frame 100A, and a number of corner pieces 104A that may be disposed, for example, at each corner of the rectangular modular poster print stretch frame 100A. Each of the side pieces 102A and corner pieces 104A may interlock with other side pieces 102A and corner pieces 104A, such as via a universal connector shared between side pieces 102A and corner pieces 104A. In one exemplary embodiment, a connector may be, for example, a tab-and-slot connector, in which a tab of a side piece 102A or corner piece 104A can fit securely in the slot of another side piece 102A or corner piece 104A, thereby linking the two pieces. Tab-and-slot connector may also be called, for example, a slide-in locking system. In another exemplary embodiment, connectors may be peg-and-hole connectors; side pieces 102A and corner pieces 104A may each have a hole on either side of the body of the piece, and a peg or other fastener, such as a bolt, may be passed through the interlocking holes of two adjacent side pieces 102A or corner pieces 104A, or a side piece 102A and a corner piece 104A, in order to join the two pieces. Other connectors, such as, for example, connectors that use a plurality of tabs and a plurality of slots, or a plurality of holes and a plurality of fasteners, or any other connector configuration, as desired, may also be used.

According to an exemplary embodiment, side pieces 102A and/or corner pieces 104A may have more than two connectors, and may, for example, have multiple connectors on each side, which may be disposed in a plurality of orientations. For example, a side piece 102A may have connectors disposed in each axial direction, as well as connectors near each of its ends on either of the long sides. This may allow side pieces 102A to be connected to other pieces in such a manner that the connection causes a 90 degree bend in the frame, which may allow the frame to be assembled without specific corner pieces 104A. According to another exemplary embodiment, connectors between side pieces 102A and/or corner pieces 104A may be adjustable.

According to an exemplary embodiment, side pieces 102A may all be the same size as other side pieces 102A, and corner pieces 104A may all be the same size as other corner pieces 104A. This may, for example, ensure that the side pieces 102A and the corner pieces 104A may be interchanged with other like pieces, ensuring, for example, that the modular poster print stretch frame 100A is easy to assemble. According to another exemplary embodiment, at least one of the side pieces 102A and the corner pieces 104A may come in different sizes. For example, according to an exemplary embodiment, the side pieces 102A may be provided in a number of lengths, for example 1″, 2″, 4″, 6″, 12″, 24″, 36″, and 48″, as well as any other lengths, as desired. This may ensure that the modular poster print stretch frame 100A can be formed in a variety of sizes, based on the demands of a particular poster or photo print to be displayed on the frame 100A. In some exemplary embodiments, side pieces 102A may not be straight, and may bend or curve; for example, in one exemplary embodiment, the side pieces 102A may have a shallow sinusoidal wave shape to create a border effect, or may have some other shape, as desired. Alternatively, side pieces 102A or corner pieces 104A may be adjustable; for example, in one exemplary embodiment, side pieces 102A may be expandable or contractable to some degree in order to vary their length.

According to another exemplary embodiment, corner pieces 104A may be formed at different angles. For example, according to an exemplary embodiment, corner pieces 104A may be formed at 90 degrees, 135 degrees, and 45 degrees, which may allow the modular poster print stretch frame 100A to be formed in other shapes, such as right triangle shapes and trapezoidal shapes, as desired. According to another exemplary embodiment, the angles formed by the corner pieces 104A of the modular poster print stretch frame 100A may be adjustable to one of multiple potential angles.

Turning now to exemplary FIG. 1B, an exemplary embodiment of a modular poster print stretch frame 100B having a circular shape may be disclosed.

According to an exemplary embodiment, stabilizing holes 410 may be disposed in the same plane as a connector, for example the slot 406. Stabilizing holes 410 may accommodate one or more pegs, which may join a stabilizing hole 410 in one side piece 402 to a stabilizing hole 410 in an adjoining piece, such as an adjoining side piece 402. According to another exemplary embodiment, certain pieces, such as certain side pieces 402, may have one or more protrusions in place of stabilizing holes 410, and adjoining pieces may be linked by inserting the protrusions of one piece into the stabilizing holes 410 of the adjoining piece.

According to an exemplary embodiment, a side piece 402 or other piece may include one or more support frame mounting holes 412. According to an exemplary embodiment, a support frame or other support system may be required to support a fabric poster or photo print that has been mounted on a modular poster print stretch frame; in an exemplary embodiment, support frame mounting holes 412 may be sized to accommodate such a support frame or other support system, as desired. According to an exemplary embodiment, support frame mounting holes 412 may be shallow or deep, may be flat, angled or curved, may be threaded, or may have any other shape, as desired.

According to an exemplary embodiment, a side piece 402 or other piece may have a plurality of projections 414 along one or more faces on which a fabric poster or photo print may be mounted. According to an exemplary embodiment, projections 414 may be arranged linearly or substantially linearly, and may be arranged in the axial direction of the side piece 402. In an exemplary embodiment, a fabric poster or photo print may have a plurality of holes substantially the same size as the projections 414 disposed along one or more edges of the fabric poster or photo print; in such an embodiment, the projections 414 may be placed through the holes of the fabric poster or photo print in order to secure the fabric poster or photo print to the modular poster print stretch frame.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the cross-sections of projections 414 may be substantially identical and substantially circular. According to another exemplary embodiment, the cross-sections of projections 414 may be triangular, square or rectangular, or another shape, as desired. According to another exemplary embodiment, the sizes, or shapes, of cross-sections of projections 414 may vary; for example, the projections 414 may be larger near the center of a side piece 402 or may be larger on certain pieces, such as certain side pieces 402, than they are on other pieces, or may be shaped differently on certain pieces or certain parts of pieces, as desired.

According to an exemplary embodiment, projections 414 may function alongside other geometry of the side piece 402 or other piece in order to retain a fabric poster or photo print. For example, according to an exemplary embodiment, a side piece 402 may have one or more clamps, clasps, or other fasteners on one or more faces of the side piece 402, which may function to better retain the fabric poster or photo print.

The peg may have a plurality of ends 426, each of which is adapted to fit within one of the stabilizing holes 410 of the adjoining pieces.

Turning now to exemplary FIG. 4E, FIG. 4E shows an exemplary embodiment of a side piece 402 of a modular poster print stretch frame, having an insert 420 disposed in a slot 406 and a plurality of pegs 424, each disposed in a stabilizing hole 410.

Turning now to exemplary FIG. 5, FIG. 5 shows an exemplary embodiment of a fabric photo or poster print 500 that may be adapted to be held on a modular poster print stretch frame, according to one possible configuration of the modular poster print stretch frame. According to an exemplary embodiment, fabric photo or poster print 500 may be rectangular or substantially rectangular, and may have a plurality of flaps 502 that extend outside of the boundaries 512 of the photo or poster image 510 to be displayed. Alternatively, according to an exemplary embodiment, the photo or poster image 510 to be displayed may extend wholly or partially onto the flaps 502, as desired. According to another exemplary embodiment, the fabric photo or poster print 500 may be a shape other than rectangular, such as triangular, circular, or another shape, as desired.

The flaps 502 of the fabric poster or photo print 500 may include a plurality of mounting holes 504, 506 that may be used to mount the fabric poster or photo print 500, for example on a series of projections like those of FIGS. 4A and 4B. According to an exemplary embodiment, mounting holes 504, 506 may be disposed linearly or substantially linearly, and may be arranged to fit over a plurality of pegs or projections also arranged linearly or substantially linearly.

According to an exemplary embodiment, mounting holes 504, 506 may be of any size, and may consistently be the same size or may be of varying sizes; for example, in one exemplary embodiment, mounting holes 504 near the edges of the flaps 502 may be larger than mounting holes 506 nearer the center of the flaps 502, and the projections that the mounting holes 504, 506 are configured to fit on or over may be similarly sized. According to another exemplary embodiment, the mounting holes 504, 506 may have any shape, and may be, for example, circular, rectangular, triangular, or another shape, as desired. Mounting holes 504, 506 may also have multiple shapes; for example, in one exemplary embodiment, all of the mounting holes 504, 506 may be either circular or elliptical, whereas in another exemplary embodiment, some of the mounting holes 504 may be triangular while others are rectangular 506.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the flaps 502 of the fabric poster or photo print 500 may include tabs 508 that may be used to bridge the gap between flaps 502 when the fabric poster or photo print 500 is folded. For example, according to an exemplary embodiment, a fabric poster or photo print 500 may be affixed to a rectangular frame by first affixing a top and bottom set of flaps 502 to a set of projections located on the top and bottom of the frame. Each of the top and the bottom flaps 502 may have a pair of tabs 508, with one tab 508 being disposed on either side of the flap 502. To continue affixing the fabric poster or photo print 500 to the frame, the side flaps 502 may then be folded over these tabs 508 and affixed to another set of projections located on each side of the frame. This may cause the tabs 508 to become tucked under the side flaps 502, which may create an illusion of continuity of the folded fabric poster or photo print 500 when attached to the frame, and may prevent the exposure of parts of the frame through gaps in the fabric poster or photo print 500.
