Abstract:
A frame apparatus for displaying a flat article and a combined frame apparatus and flat article. In one aspect, the frame apparatus comprises an annular display frame defining a rabbet, a stack positioned in the rabbet, and an annular spacer frame. The rabbet is defined by a floor and a wall, the wall comprising a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion. The annular spacer frame is coupled to the first and second engagement portions of the annular display frame by interaction between a first and second locking member of the annular spacer frame and the first and second engagement portions of the annular display frame. The first and second locking members extend into the first and second engagement portions and apply a compression force to retain a flat article between the transparent front panel and the rear panel.

Claim (Index 1):
A frame apparatus for displaying an article, the frame apparatus comprising:\n an annular display frame having an inner surface defining a display opening, the annular display frame comprising:\n a rabbet defined by a floor and a wall of the annular display frame; \n the wall of the rabbet comprising a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion located on opposite sides of a longitudinal centerline of the annular display frame; \n a stack positioned in the rabbet; and an annular spacer frame having an inner surface defining a central opening, an outer surface opposite the inner surface, a front surface, and a rear surface opposite the front surface, the annular spacer frame comprising:\n a first locking tab extending from the outer surface on a first side of a longitudinal centerline of the annular spacer frame; \n a second locking tab extending from the outer surface on a second side of the longitudinal centerline of the annular spacer frame; and \n at least one gripping element extending from the rear surface of the annular spacer frame; \n wherein the annular spacer frame is positioned in the rabbet with the front surface of the annular spacer frame adjacent to the stack and with the first and second engagement portions of the annular display frame engaging the first and second locking tabs of the annular spacer frame to lock the annular spacer frame and the stack in the rabbet.
