ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to an adjustable frame assembly for stretching and supporting a painter's canvas. The adjustable frame assembly is provided with a polygonally shaped frame structure encompassing an open area and adapted to support the painter's canvas across the open area. The frame structure includes a plurality of frame members cooperatively positioned to form the frame structure. Each frame member has one end movably connected to an adjacently disposed frame member to define one respective corner of the frame structure. The adjustable frame assembly is provided with a plurality of corner adjustment assemblies. Each corner adjustment assembly has a first end pivotally connected to one of a pair of adjacently disposed frame members defining one of the corners of the frame structure and, a second end pivotally connected to the other one of the pair of adjacently disposed frame members defining the one respective corner. Adjustment devices are provided for selectively adjusting at least one of the first and second ends of each corner adjustment assembly such that the pairs of adjacently disposed frame members defining the corners of the frame structure are selectively movable in response to the selective adjustment of the corner adjustment assemblies to thereby adjust the tension in the painter's canvas supported by the frame structure.
