Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates generally to picture albums and more particularly to a picture album used as a picture frame.

BACKGROUND

Foldable boxes with collapsible side panels are available in the prior art. However, they require additional flaps or supporting parts to become flat, and they do not provide a clean look or a quick and easy operation. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 8,573,471 can lay flat all side panels, but the operation is assisted by foldable subpanels. The magnets of the prior art are for the purpose of closure only. Picture albums covered in the material for design purpose cannot use the structure of U.S. Pat. No. 8,573,471, because foldable subpanels will increase the thickness and make it difficult to perform the folding function. Also, the prior art was designed for securing packages (i.e. the closed position), not for the constant toggling between two modes of operation: picture frame (closed position) and picture album (open position).

Referring now to FIGS. 10 and 11, another exemplary picture album of the present disclosure is shown. In FIG. 10, a picture album 100 is shown in a back view and in the form of a picture frame. In one embodiment, the picture frame 100 includes a body 102 having a front surface 104 (FIG. 11) and a rear surface 106 (FIG. 10). In the illustrated embodiment, the body 102 has a quadrilateral shape. In some embodiments, other suitable shapes, such as oval and irregular shapes, are contemplated to suit different applications. For example, the irregular shapes can include a star shape or any two-dimensional shapes. In FIG. 10, one or more frame attachment members 108, such as magnets, hook-and-loop fasteners, or temporary adhesives, are fixedly disposed or embedded/implanted on the rear surface 106 of the picture frame 100. For example, a plurality of magnets 108 can be securely attached or embedded/implanted to four corners of the rear surface 106 of the picture frame 100. Any number of magnets can be used in various embodiments. In embodiments, the temporary adhesives may be adhesive-coated stickers capable of being temporarily attached to the rear surface 106 of the picture frame 100.

One or more insertion sheets 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D can be removably attached to the rear surface 106 of the picture frame 100 using the corresponding magnets 108 of the picture frame 100. As shown in FIG. 7, each insertion sheet 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D includes a back pocket 62 configured to hold a picture 60 therein. In FIG. 10, each insertion sheet 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D has one or more sheet attachment members 56, 57, 58, 59, such as magnets or sheet-metal pieces, that are attached near an outer periphery of the insertion sheet 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D. In the illustrated embodiment, four magnets 56, 57, 58, 59 are attached or embedded/implanted to four corners of each insertion sheet 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D. Attachment of each insertion sheet 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D is achieved by an attractive magnetic force generated by the magnets 56, 57, 58, 59 and the corresponding magnets 108 of the picture frame 100. Other attachment techniques using the hook-and-loop fasteners or temporary adhesives are also contemplated to suit different applications.

In FIG. 11, the body 102 of the picture frame 100 includes an opening 110 to display at least a portion of the picture 60 in the back pocket 62. In the illustrated embodiment, each insertion sheet 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D includes a front viewing window 112A, 112B, 112C, 112D configured to display the portion of the picture 60. Each front viewing window 112A, 112B, 112C, 112D has a specific predetermined geometric configuration. In one embodiment, the geometric configuration refers to a shape and a size of the respective front viewing window 112A, 112B, 112C, 112D. For example, the front viewing window 112A has a heart shape, the front viewing window 112B has a round shape, and the front viewing windows 112C and 112D have a quadrilateral shape (e.g., rectangular or square). Other suitable shapes, such as oval, elliptical, round, or irregular geometric configurations, are also contemplated.

In one embodiment, each insertion sheet 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D is made of a material that is modifiable, e.g., paper, plastic, or garment. Thus, the geometric configuration can be modifiable or variable by changing an inner peripheral edge 114 of the corresponding front viewing window 112A, 112B, 112C, 112D. For example, the inner peripheral edge 114 of the front viewing window 112B having the round shape can be cut to have the rectangular shape of the front viewing window 112C. In another embodiment, each insertion sheet 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D is made of a material that is not readily modifiable, e.g., glass, metal, or carbon fiber. Thus, the geometric configuration can be unmodifiable or fixed. For example, the inner peripheral edge 114 of the front viewing window 112A having the heart shape cannot be easily cut to have the rectangular shape of the front viewing window 112C.

In embodiments, an attachment sequence or order of the insertion sheets 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D determines a final geometric configuration of the corresponding front viewing window 112A, 112B, 112C, 112D shown in the opening 110 of the picture frame 100. For example, as designated by arrows in FIG. 10, one or more insertion sheets 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D can be sequentially attached to the rear surface 106 of the picture frame 100 using the attachment members 56, 57, 58, 59 of the insertion sheets 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D and the corresponding attachment members 108 of the picture frame 100. Thus, when all insertion sheets 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D are attached to the picture frame 100, the geometric configuration of the front viewing window 112A, 112B, 112C, 112D can vary depending on the attachment sequence of the insertion sheets 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D relative to the picture frame 100.

More specifically, as designated by arrows in FIG. 11, if the insertion sheet 52D is attached to the picture frame 100 first and other insertion sheets 52A, 52B, 52C are attached after the insertion sheet 52D, the rectangular shape of the front viewing window 112D is displayed in the opening 110 of the picture frame 100. In another example, if the insertion sheet 52A is attached to the picture frame 100 first and other insertion sheets 52B, 52C, 52D are attached after the insertion sheet 52A, the heart shape of the front viewing window 112A is displayed in the opening 110 of the picture frame 100. Other various arrangements of the insertion sheets 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D are contemplated as desired.
