Multiple-pane surface mounted frame arrangement

Abstract

A graphic receiving frame assembly for permitting the display of that frame assembly on a front flat surface with multiple display panels individually received therein. The frame assembly comprises an arrangement of multiple graphic display receiving support rails connected to at least one loading rail. The rails are joined by an “L” shaped connector at the outer corners thereof, wherein at least one internal rail is connected between the support rails so as to define a plurality of rails to peripherally support a plurality of display panels within the frame assembly. The support rails and the internal rail each have extensive support flanges for supportive guided receipt of a graphic display panel.

         4 . The graphic receiving this frame assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the support rails have a frame enhancing outer edge. 
     
     
         5 . The graphic receiving this frame assembly as recited in  claim 4 , wherein the frame enhancing outer edge is of “L” shape in cross shape. 
     
     
         6 . The graphic receiving this frame assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one internal rail has a pair of graphic display restraining outer edges. 
     
     
         7 . The graphic receiving this frame assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one internal rail has an outer face of generally “C” shape. 
     
     
         8 . The graphic receiving this frame assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the support rails and the at least one internal rail have a connector bracket receiving channel extending longitudinally therethrough. 
     
     
         9 . The graphic receiving this frame assembly as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the loading rail comprises a curvilinearly-shaped in cross-section front face and a connector bracket receiving channel defined by an elongated front wall and an elongated rear wall joined by an elongated bridge member. 
     
     
         10 . The graphic receiving this frame assembly as recited in  claim 9 , wherein the elongated bridge member is spaced apart from a wall when the frame assembly is fully assembled. 
     
     
         11 . The graphic receiving this frame assembly as recited in  claim 9 , wherein the loading rail is arranged across the upper side of the frame assembly. 
     
     
         12 . The graphic receiving this frame assembly as recited in  claim 9 , wherein the loading rail is arranged along a side portion of the frame assembly. 
     
     
         13 . The graphic receiving this frame assembly as recited in  claim 9 , wherein the loading rail is arranged along a mid-portion if the frame assembly so as to divide the frame assembly into multiple pane portions. 
     
     
         14 . A graphic receiving frame assembly for permitting the display of that frame assembly on a front flat surface with multiple display panels individually received therein, the frame assembly comprising:
 a plurality of graphic display receiving outer support rails connected to at least one loading rail, wherein the rails joined by an “L” shaped connector at outer corners thereof, the outer support rails having an inwardly directed graphic display support flange;   at least one internal rail connected between the support rails so as to define a plurality of peripherally supported display panels within the frame assembly, the at least one internal rail having a pair of parallel, oppositely extending graphic display support flanges for supportive guided receipt of at least a pair of graphic display panels received between the outer support rails and the at least one internal rail.   
     
     
         15 . The graphic receiving frame assembly as recited in  claim 14 , wherein the at least one loading rail is arranged along an upper portion of the frame assembly. 
     
     
         16 . The graphic receiving frame assembly as recited in  claim 14 , wherein the at least one loading rail is arranged along a side portion of the frame assembly. 
     
     
         17 . A graphic receiving frame assembly for permitting the display of that frame assembly on a front flat surface with multiple display panels individually received therein, the frame assembly comprising:
 a plurality of graphic display receiving outer support rails connected to at least one loading rail, the rails joined by an “L” shaped connector at outer corners thereof, the outer support rails having an inwardly directed graphic display support flange; and   at least one internal rail connected between the support rails so as to define a plurality of peripherally supported display panels within the frame assembly, the at least one internal rail having a pair of parallel, oppositely extending graphic display support flanges for wall displaced, supportive guided receipt of at least a pair of graphic display panels received between the outer support rails and the at least one internal rail.   
     
     
         18 . The graphic display receiving frame assembly as recited in  claim 17 , wherein the loading rail is arranged internally between upper and lower support rails.
