Abstract:

A frame for displaying one or more photographs or the like on a wall has parallel front and back panels between which the photographs or the like may be disposed. The frame is suspended from a hook or other projection on the wall by a length of flexible filament which has end portions that extend through passages at opposite side regions of the back panel and engage the front panel. Consequently the weight of the suspended frame urges the two panels together and additional fasteners are not necessarily needed. All components including the front and back panels and the filament are formed of transparent material in embodiments where it is desired to de-emphasize the presence of a display frame and to simulate the appearance of photographs or the like that are directly attached to a wall.
