ABSTRACT:
An adjustable stretching frame for stretching sheet materials, particularly canvas paintings, is disclosed. The frame comprises a plurality of individual frame segment members; means for interconnecting the frame segment members with each other to form a frame; means for adjusting the separation between adjacent frames, and means for maintaining the canvas in a spaced apart relationship relative to the front face of the frame. The latter means may comprise a flexible beading mounted on the individual frame segment members. By adjusting the frame segment members in a manner so as to separate them from their adjacent members, thus expanding the overall dimension of the frame, the canvas is stretched over the frame. The stretchable beading is stretched in such a manner as to fill or complete the space between adjacent frame segment members thus maintaining the overall integrity of the shape of the frame. The framing device of the invention is relatively simple in construction yet is particularly suitable for use for mounting very expensive oil paintings or masterpieces and overcomes the difficulties of known frames.
