ABSTRACT:
A picture frame having two principal elements, a planar backing board and a flexible annular material element formed substantially as two discs with a central aperture therein, the discs being attached to each other at their perimeters. Biasing means, such as an elastic band, are affixed to the cloth adjacent the apertures and are such that when the discs are placed over the backing board the elastic biases the apertures radially inwardly, thereby holding the outer element onto the backing board. In another embodiment a rigid element is substituted for the elastic element at the front of the frame, thereby defining a fixed shape through which the picture is presented. An additional embodiment involves a strip of spring-like material arranged adjacent to the central aperture of the disc-shaped materials in place of the circular portion of the disc-shaped material, a discontinuity is provided so that the free ends thereof may be spread apart and placed over the backing board and, upon releasing the ends, the outer element will close and appear as a continuous circular element.
