Abstract:
A display frame combination comprising:a reversible display frame comprising: a frame member having a front side and a back side, the front and back sides each side having a window section for viewing an at least one display item contained therein from either side of the frame member, and wherein the frame member is comprised of two parts to form the front side and the back side, namely a front frame member and a back frame member, a set of two transparent covers being held in the window section of one or both frame members, the front and back frame members being hingeably connected one to the other to enable the front and back members to pivot apart from one another in an open position to permit removal and replacement of the at least one display item, and to pivot toward one another in a closed position to secure the at least one display item in place for viewing from either side; and, an at least one suspension ring attached to said frame member; a suspension device for rotatably mounting the reversible display frame to a wall, the suspension device comprising: a wall assembly comprising an upper loop member and a lower loop member pivotally coupled one to the other, said upper loop member being sized to enable insertion on a wall hook; an at least one fastener for engagable attachment of the suspension device to said at least one suspension ring of the reversible display frame; and, an at least one line having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end being connected to the lower loop member of the wall assembly, the lower end being connected to said at least one fastener; and, an at least one suspension ring assembly, said suspension ring assembly comprising: one of the at least one suspension rings; a ring cavity integrally formed in the frame member and outwardly opening, the cavity sized to hold the suspension ring in its entirety to enable retraction of the suspension ring therein, the ring cavity integrally formed by a pair of symmetrical cutouts oppositely positioned in the front and back frame members so as to form a closed cavity when the frame members are placed in the closed position; and, a dowel inserted into the cavity and secured thereto, the dowel positioned perpendicularly to the plane of the suspension ring and inserted through the ring so as to secure the ring to the frame member when the ring is retracted into the cavity and when the ring is extended therefrom, the dowel two ends and positioned within the ring cavity by attachment of one end of the dowel to the cutout in the front frame member, and wherein the suspension ring is held in place by an elongated plate with two ends, the plate being positioned centrally across the other end of the dowel and secured to the front frame member at each of its two ends; whereby said reversible display frame combination may be pivotably mounted on the wall so as to enable its rotation while mounted to enable a user to selectively show the at least one display item contained therein from either side of the reversible display frame.
