Abstract:

A unitary protector for picture frames includes four padded triangular corner pocket sections with an inner soft fabric and a seam facing outwardly. The ends of four elasticized bands are sewn to the outer durable fabric of the four corner sections at approximately midway between the top and bottom of the corner section. The seams and points of attachment of the elastic bands are thus kept away from the delicate surface of the frame. Additionally, the elastic bands are configured to evenly distribute stresses.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A unit manufactured for the purpose of protecting the corners of framed artwork during transport and storage. This unit is comprised of four, padded, three-dimensional, fabric corners, which are attached to each other with elastic. The padded corners slip onto the corners of frames and remain in place, due to the stretched elastic, while the art piece is being moved or stored. The padding of the corners is comprised of poly-fill batting much like that used in bed comforters. The material used on the interior of the corners is a soft, fleece, which will not mar or damage the frame in any way. This unit provides simple, lightweight, durable and convenient protection for framed artwork and aids in maintaining the value of the frames.
