<p>Components are provided for forming a picture frame which include frame sections (22) adapted to be oriented at an angle to form a corner of the frame at adjacent ends of the sections. A bracket (60) is provided for each corner and has a first leg (62) and a second leg (64). One leg (62) is disposed within a channel (32) formed in one of the frame sections (22) at the corner and the other leg (64) is disposed within a channel (32) of the other of the two frame sections (22) at the frame corner. At least one of the legs of each bracket has a slanting engagement surface (66,72). A screw (80) is threadingly engaged with one of the frame sections and also engages the bracket slanting engagement surface to urge the bracket leg along the frame section in which it is disposed in a direction away from the other frame section at the corner to draw the facing regions of the two frame sections together at the corner.</p><p>The specification also describes clips for retaining sheets within the completed frame, clips for securing hanging wires to the frame, and supports for maintaining the frame upright on a horizontal surface.</p> |
