Nested picture frame assembly

Abstract

The present invention broadly comprises a nested picture frame assembly having a depth and perimeter, having at least two picture frames operatively arranged to nest within and atop one another, a first picture frame having a first depth, and a first perimeter; and, a second picture frame having a second depth, and a second perimeter, operatively arranged to nest both within and totally atop the first picture frame, wherein the first depth is larger than the second depth, the first perimeter is larger than the second perimeter, the first perimeter is equal to the perimeter of the nested picture frame assembly, and the first depth is equal to the depth of the nested picture frame assembly, and wherein, when nested, each frame in the nested picture frame assembly is located in its own unique plane.

1 : A nested picture frame assembly having a depth and perimeter, having at least two picture frames operatively arranged to nest within and atop one another, comprising: 
 a first picture frame having a first depth, and a first perimeter; and,    a second picture frame having a second depth, and a second perimeter, operatively arranged to nest both within and totally atop said first picture frame;    wherein said first picture frame is operatively arranged to hold and display at least one picture, wherein said at least one picture in said first picture frame is held and displayed in no more than one plane, and wherein said second picture frame is operatively arranged to hold and display at least one picture, wherein said at least one picture in said second picture frame is held and displayed in no more than one plane;    wherein said first depth is larger than said second depth, said first perimeter is larger than said second perimeter, said first perimeter is equal to the perimeter of said nested picture frame assembly, and said first depth is equal to the depth of said nested picture frame assembly, and wherein, when nested, each frame in said nested picture frame assembly is located in its own unique plane.    
   
   
       2 : A nested picture frame assembly having a depth and perimeter, having at least two picture frames operatively arranged to nest within and atop one another, comprising: 
 a first picture frame having a first depth, and a first perimeter; and,    a second picture frame having a second depth, and a second perimeter, operatively arranged to nest both within and totally atop said first picture frame;    wherein said first depth is larger than said second depth, said first perimeter is larger than said second perimeter, said first perimeter is equal to the perimeter of said nested picture frame assembly, and said first depth is equal to the depth of said nested picture frame assembly, and wherein, when nested, each frame in said nested picture frame assembly is located in its own unique plane, wherein said first frame has a first front surface and the second frame has a second front surface and that when nested, said first front surface is flush with and in the same plane as said second front surface.    
   
   
       3 : The nested picture frame assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second picture frames each have a quadrilateral shape.  
   
   
       4 : The nested picture frame assembly of  claim 3 , wherein said first and second picture frames each further comprise at least one frame member.  
   
   
       5 : The nested picture frame assembly of  claim 4 , wherein said first and second picture frames each have a vertical frame member and a horizontal frame member which cooperatively form a shape of an “L”.  
   
   
       6 : The nested picture frame assembly of  claim 4 , wherein said first and second picture frames each have two parallel frame members.  
   
   
       7 : The nested picture frame assembly of  claim 4 , wherein said at least one frame member comprises at least one groove.  
   
   
       8 : A nested picture frame assembly having a depth and perimeter, having at least two picture frames operatively arranged to nest within and atop one another, comprising: 
 a first picture frame having a first depth, and a first perimeter; and,    a second picture frame having a second depth, and a second perimeter, operatively arranged to nest both within and totally atop said first picture frame;    wherein said first depth is larger than said second depth, said first perimeter is larger than said second perimeter, said first perimeter is equal to the perimeter of said nested picture frame assembly, and said first depth is equal to the depth of said nested picture frame assembly, and wherein, when nested, each frame in said nested picture frame assembly is located in its own unique plane, wherein said picture frames further comprise a picture cover operatively arranged to rest in said at least one groove.    
   
   
       9 : The nested picture frame assembly of  claim 8 , wherein said picture cover is made of a material selected from the group of glass, and acrylic material.  
   
   
       10 : The nested picture frame assembly of  claim 1 , having exactly three picture frames.  
   
   
       11 : The nested picture frame assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said picture frames are constructed primarily out of wood.  
   
   
       12 : The nested picture frame assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said picture frames have decorative metal accents.  
   
   
       13 : A nested picture frame assembly having a depth and perimeter, having at least two picture frames operatively arranged to nest within and atop one another, comprising: 
 a first picture frame having a first depth, and a first perimeter; and,    a second picture frame having a second depth, and a second perimeter, operatively arranged to nest both within and totally atop said first picture frame;    wherein said first depth is larger than said second depth, said first perimeter is larger than said second perimeter, said first perimeter is equal to the perimeter of said nested picture frame assembly, and said first depth is equal to the depth of said nested picture frame assembly, and wherein, when nested, each frame in said nested picture frame assembly is located in its own unique plane, wherein said picture frames have recessed rear panels.    
   
   
       14 : The nested picture frame assembly of  claim 13 , wherein said rear panels are constructed from medium density fiberboard.
