ABSTRACT:
A framing system for dependently supporting an object generally comprises a plurality of frame elements for perimetrically engaging the object to be framed and a plurality of securing members. The frame elements are defined one from another by a plurality of interiorly projecting slots in their outer perimeter. For engaging the frame elements to secure the object to be framed, the securing members each comprise an extended slot. Upon mating of the extended slot of a securing member with a one of the interiorly projecting slots, a distal portion of the securing member projects into the inner perimeter of the frame elements to engage the outer edge of the object to be framed. The frame elements may comprise a single structure or a plurality of structures. In the case of a plurality of structures, the framing system may be formed to have a unitary base and a unitary top. Framing of an object is thus simplified as the object need only be placed into the unitary base, whereafter the unitary top may be affixed. The frame elements may comprise geometrical extrusions of any of a variety of shapes. The securing members may comprise any of a variety of shapes. Some of the frame elements may comprise a translucent material and be interiorly provided with a light fixture for illuminating the framed object.
