Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention relates to picture frames, and in particular to a picture frame attachable to a computer monitor. 
     Computers are used extensively in the work place in association with many tasks. Because of this, office and work spaces are being modified to orient about the computers being used. In previous work environments workers were able to personalized their work spaces with pictures and the like resting on a flat work surface or hanging on a nearby wall. Because of the focus on a worker&#39;s computer and especially the computer&#39;s monitor, current work environments do not always have readily available flat work surfaces or nearby walls adapted to receive pictures and the like. 
     Since a worker&#39;s productivity rises in a more personalized work environment, it is desirable to provide a means for a worker to personalized his or her work space in a computer oriented work environment 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     In view of the foregoing, it is the primary object of the present invention to provide an adjustable mirror frame removably attachable to a computer mirror. The present invention provides a base attachable to a computer monitor and a mirror frame removably attachable to the base in any one of three positions. The mirror frame may be pivoted about the base to provide a desired picture frame position relative to the base and computer monitor.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like elements are indicated by like numerals, there is shown a computer monitor picture frame  1  constructed according to the principles of the present invention. The invention  1  is comprised of a picture frame  30  attachable to a base  10 . The base  10  is attachable to a computer monitor  2  or any other type of surface whether vertical, horizontal or oblique. 
     The base  10  is comprised of an elongated, cylindrical member  11  with two ends, one end a free end  12  and the other end  13  terminating in a generally flat member  14 . The elongated member ends  12 ,  13  define its longitudinal axis. The elongated member longitudinal axis is perpendicular to the plane of the flat member  14 . The flat member  14  has two surfaces, a first surface  15  joined to the elongated member  11 , and a second, opposite surface  16  to which an adhesive coating  17  is attached. In this embodiment of the invention a section of paper  18  removably covers the adhesive coating  17 . An inverted frustum section  20  is formed about the elongated element terminating end  13 . The frustum section “top”  21  abuts the flat member first surface  15 . The frustum section “base”  22  lies in a radial plane parallel coincident with the radial axis of the elongated member  11 . The frustum section  20  has a central axis defining a central length, said central length being defined by the frustum section&#39;s top  21  and base  22 . The central length of the frustum section  20  in this embodiment of the invention is approximately one-third of the length of the elongated member  11  along the elongated member&#39;s central, longitudinal axis. 
     The picture frame  30  has a generally rectangular shape, and has a front surface  31 , a rear surface  32 , a top  33 , a bottom  34  and two sides  35 . The picture frame  30  has a generally rectangular interior cavity  36 . The top  33  has an elongated, open channel  37  formed therein opening into the frame interior  36 . The frame front surface  31  has a substantial rectangular aperture  38  formed therein, said aperture  38  opening into the frame interior  36 . A thin, transparent, sheet-like element  3  having length and width dimensions slightly less than the length and width dimensions of the interior cavity  36  is inserted into the interior cavity  36  through the top channel  37 . A picture  4  may then be inserted into the frame interior  36  behind the transparent sheet  3  so that the sheet  3  is between the picture  4  and the front surface aperture  38 . The transparent sheet  3  may be made from transparent plastic, glass or other desired transparent material. 
     The frame rear surface  32  has three partial ring-like elements  40  fixedly attached thereto. The elements  40  are positioned one at each side  35  midpoint and one at the bottom  34  midpoint. Each element  40  has a generally flat proximal end  41  and a generally flat distal end  42 . The proximal ends  41  are the element ends closest to a center point  39  on the rear surface  32 . 
     The distal ends  42  abut either the sides  35  or the bottom  34 . The partial ring-like elements  40  each have a cylindrical interior aperture  43  formed therein, said apertures  43  opening onto the element proximal  41  and distal  42  ends. The apertures  43  each have a radial diameter slightly greater than the diameter, of the base elongated member  11 . 
     In operation, the base  10  is attached to a computer monitor  2  or other desired surface. The picture frame  30  is attached to the base  10  by manipulating any one of the rounded element apertures  43  onto the base elongated member  11  over the elongated base member free end  12 . The frustum base  22  provides a “stop” for the frame  30  against the base  10 . The picture frame  30  may be adjusted by twisting the frame rounded element  40  about the base elongated member  11 . 
     It is understood that the above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the application. Other embodiments may be readily devised by those skilled in the art which will embody the principles of the invention and fall within the spirit and scope thereof.
