Abstract:
A method of assembling a picture frame surrounding a planar display, comprising the steps of:assembling a plurality of interconnecting primary frame member jigsaw puzzle pieces by fitting adjoining primary frame member jigsaw puzzle pieces in a perpendicular motion relative to a primary plane of the picture frame to form a portion of the picture frame capable of supporting therein an outer periphery of the planar display, wherein the plurality of interconnecting primary frame member jigsaw puzzle pieces cooperatively define a channel;inserting the planar display into the channel such that the outer periphery thereof is captured by the interconnecting primary frame member jigsaw puzzle pieces;placing at least one closure member jigsaw puzzle piece over the exposed portion of the outer periphery of the planar display; andinterconnecting the at least one closure member jigsaw puzzle piece with an adjacent primary frame member jigsaw puzzle piece utilizing at least one interconnecting locking member puzzle piece, said interconnecting step comprising the step of perpendicularly dropping the locking member jigsaw puzzle piece, relative to the primary plane, into the primary plane to lock the locking member jigsaw puzzle piece to both the at least one closure member jigsaw puzzle piece and the adjacent primary frame member jigsaw puzzle piece.
