The features of the invention believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention itself however may be best understood by reference to the following detailed description of the invention, which describes certain exemplary embodiments of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
The technical characteristics, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the drawings are provided for reference and illustration only and are not intended for limiting the scope of the invention.
Referring to
The frame 1 includes three side bars 10 for enclosing the frame 1, and the side bars 10 jointly form a groove 100 disposed at the internal side of each side bar 10, and the frame 1 forms an opening 11 at the top of the frame 1 for inserting a photo 4 into the groove 100 from the opening 11, and the frame 1 has an embedding groove 110 disposed at the top of the frame 1 and along the edge of the opening 11, and an embedding plate 111 is placed onto the embedding groove 110 to seal the opening 11 at the top of the frame 1 in order to prevent the photo 4 from sliding out. Further, the frame 1 includes a viewing window 12 disposed at the front side of the frame 1, such that the image on the photo 4 can be viewed through the viewing window 12 as shown in
The outer clipping layer 2 is substantially in the same shape of the frame 1 and pivotally coupled to a lateral side of the frame 1, so that the outer clipping layer 2 can be turned, stacked with the frame 1 or spread open from the frame 1. The outer clipping layer 2 further includes a clasp module 5 disposed on another lateral side of the frame 1 as shown in
The present invention further comprises a containing space 20 concavely disposed on a lateral surface of the outer clipping layer 2 (which is an internal surface in this preferred embodiment of the present invention) for containing the inner clipping layer 3 into the containing space 20, and the inner clipping layer 3 not only can be placed directly into the containing space 20 of the outer clipping layer 2, but also is pivotally coupled to the outer clipping layer 2, such that the inner clipping layer 3 can be turned outward or stored in the containing space 20 of the outer clipping layer 2 as shown in
In addition, when the frame 1 and the outer clipping layer 2 are stacked, the inner clipping layer 3 includes an elastic pressing member 31 disposed on a corresponding lateral surface of the frame 1 as shown in
In
With the foregoing structural assembly, an improved photo frame structure in accordance with the present invention can be achieved.
In summation of the above description, the invention herein enhances the performance than the conventional structure and further complies with the patent application requirements.
The present invention are illustrated with reference to the preferred embodiment and not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Various substitutions and modifications have suggested in the foregoing description, and other will occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, all such substitutions and modifications are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
