ABSTRACT:
A metal or wooden picture frame is provided with a traverse brace which comprises a channel having inward turned flange edges. A T-shaped fitting has means for attachment to the frame and a leg which is narrower than the space between the channel flanges but wider than the space between the inturned edges. A lock screw threaded through a tapped hole in the leg is tightened against the channel web, forcing the leg against the inner surfaces of the inturned edges and thus locking the brace to the frame. In one form of the invention the opposite end of the brace is locked to the opposite side of the frame by a similar fitting. Alternatively, a strap may be tightened to opposed brace sections. In a modification, an eye engageable with a picture hook may be locked to the brace. In another modification, an arm may be locked to the channel to extend laterally to receive a screw having a knob bearing against the back of a print, etc, within the frame to prevent sagging. A metal frame may be formed of channels secured together by angular fittings locked by similar means or channel sections may be attached to wooden frame members and secured by similar means.
