Multiframe picture holder

Abstract

The present invention is a multiframe and multiplanar picture holder that includes an outer frame that encloses a plurality of display frames such that each of said plurality of display frames is in contact with at least one other of said plurality of picture holders. Attachment segments within and/or around the outer frame have slots or other structures to receive extension frames each of which extend from the attachment segments. Both the display frames and the extension frames may be used to hold photos or similar display items.

I claim:

 an outer frame enclosing a plurality of display frames each of said plurality of display frames being in contact with at least one other of said plurality of picture holders;   at least one attachment segment within or around said outer frame, wherein each of said at least one attachment segment defines or contains at least one attachment receiving means;   at least one extension frame having an attachment means on one edge of said extension frame, said attachment means being joined to said attachment receiving means; and,   a backing, said backing configured to enclose one side of said outer frame and removably attached to said outer frame.   
     
     
         2 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 1  wherein each of said plurality of display frames has a front facing wherein at least two of said front facings are in parallel planes; 
     
     
         3 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 1  wherein said at least one extension frame extends substantially perpendicularly from said outer frame. 
     
     
         4 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 1  wherein said at least one attachment receiving means is at least one slot. 
     
     
         5 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 4  wherein said at least one attachment means is at least one snap fit hook. 
     
     
         6 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 4  wherein said at least one attachment means is at least one removable hook. 
     
     
         7 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 1  wherein said at least one attachment receiving means is a hole and said attachment means is a screw. 
     
     
         8 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 1  wherein said at least one attachment means is an adhesive. 
     
     
         9 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 1  wherein said extension frame comprises two parts. 
     
     
         10 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 1  wherein said slot receives two objects for display. 
     
     
         11 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 10  wherein said extension frame includes a slot to receive at least two display covers. 
     
     
         12 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 1  further comprising hanging means attached to said backing for hanging said picture holder. 
     
     
         13 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 1  wherein said removable attachment is at least one swivel attached to said outer frame. 
     
     
         14 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 1  wherein said at least one extension frame is a plurality of extension frames. 
     
     
         15 . The multiframe and multiplanar picture holder as recited in  claim 1  further comprising at least one display cover in at least one of said plurality of display frames.
