Patent ID: 8881403

Claim:
A process for producing an openable photograph holder ( 1 ) comprising the following operations: providing a laminar sheet made of metallic material; plastically deforming by molding said laminar sheet in such a way as to obtain at least one first semi-finished piece ( 2 ) of rounded or deep-drawn shape and at least one second semi-finished piece ( 3 ) having a profile substantially equal to a profile of said first semi-finished piece ( 2 ); arranging a pair of shaped bottoms ( 4 ) made of metallic material and having profiles substantially equal to each other and to said profile of said semi-finished pieces ( 2 , 3 ); firmly coupling said shaped bottoms ( 4 ) one for each of said semi-finished pieces ( 2 , 3 ) so as to form two half portions ( 6 , 7 ) of said openable photograph holder ( 1 ), each of which presents an outer surface ( 6 a , 7 a ) suitable to remain visible in any condition of use of said openable photograph holder ( 1 ) and at least one of which presents an inner surface ( 6 b , 7 b ) suitable to house a photo; rotatably constraining together said half portions ( 6 , 7 ) so as to form said openable photograph holder ( 1 ) and define for said openable photograph holder ( 1 ) a dosed position, in which said inner surface ( 6 b ) of a first of said half portions ( 6 , 7 ) is entirely facing and substantially close to said inner surface ( 7 b ) of a second of said half portions ( 6 , 7 ), and at least one opened position in which said inner surface ( 6 b , 7 b ) of said half portions ( 6 , 7 ) is visible, characterized in that said process comprises an operation of removing material at least in said first semi-finished piece ( 2 ) of rounded shape in such a way as to create blind and/or through incisions ( 10 ) which extend to the perimetric or side edge of said first semi-finished piece ( 2 ) and to provide an ornamental ( 5 ) suitable to remain at sight while using said openable photograph holder ( 1 ), said operation of removing material at least in said first semi-finished piece ( 2 ) of rounded shape being performed after said operation of plastically deforming by molding said laminar sheet with which said at least one first semi-finished piece ( 2 ) of rounded or deep-drawn shape and said at least one second semi-finished piece ( 3 ) having a profile substantially equal to the profile of said first semi-finished piece ( 2 ) are obtained.
