Abstract:
A combination of an adjustable positioning and locking system and a picture frame that allows the picture frame to be locked flush against a wall and removed from the wall, the system comprising:at least one upper wall bracket separated from at least one lower wall bracket, the wall brackets comprising respective upper and lower lips; top and bottom apertures in top and bottom portions of the picture frame and spaced inwardly from a back wall of the picture frame, each of the apertures extending-parallel to the longitudinal axis of the object; top and bottom screws respectively located within top and bottom apertures, each of the screws having a hook threaded thereon; wherein the hooks are adapted to be separated by a first distance; wherein the at least one upper and at least one lower wall bracket are adapted to be separated by a second distance; whereby in order to mount the picture frame flush against the wall: a) the first distance is made smaller than the second distance via the screws, b) the bottom screw hook is placed over the lower lip, and c) the first distance is made substantially equal to the second distance via the screws so as to respectively lock the top and bottom screw hooks on the upper and lower lips; whereby vertical adjustability of the frame is provided via adjustment of the top and bottom screws; whereby horizontal adjustability of the frame is provided via loosening the top screw, moving the frame sideways on the lower lip, and subsequently tightening the top screw.
