<p>Improvements in or relating to framing include a bracket suitable for, but not exclusively limited to, joining sections of picture frame together and a fixing screw suitable for fixing a bracket to a section of picture frame.
A bracket is provided for joining a first and second section of picture frame, the bracket comprising a first limb for insertion into a re-entrant channel of the first picture frame section, and a second limb for insertion into a re-entrant channel of the second picture frame section abutting the first picture frame section in use, wherein at least one of said first and second limbs has a cavity therein, and wherein each of said first and second limbs has an aperture therethrough for receiving a threaded screw.
Desirably each cavity of said first and second limbs comprises a domed portion of bracket material.
The domed cavity acts to strengthen the bracket, thus allowing the bracket to be formed from a thinner material compared to equivalent conventional brackets.
