ABSTRACT:
A standoff is provided for use with picture frames having extruded frame members with a rearwardly opening channel. The standoff is lockably engageable with the flanges of the channel and projects rearwardly therefrom so that when the picture is hung on a wall the standoff will engage the wall and space the picture a short distance away therefrom. The standoff has a central wall-engaging portion and a pair of flexible leg portions connected thereto. At the distal end thereof each leg portion has a hook portion for engagement with the flange of the frame member. The hook portion may comprise a groove or a shoulder. The standoff may be injection molded or extruded and is made from a non-slip, non-marring plastic or rubber material.
