A bezel is attached over the pane and onto the display frame assembly to hold the pane, mat, display item and backing board in place. Alternatively, a piece of fabric (such as one bearing a cross-stitched design) may be stretched over the backing board and clamped between the outer and inner hoops. Next, a circular, transparent pane of glass or plastic also sets into the inner hoop and against the display item or mat. Then an item to be displayed is placed on top of the backing board followed by a mat, if desired. To assemble a display, a backing board is placed within the inner hoop and against the bosses. The legs are secured within holes in bosses that extend inwardly from the inner hoop. The display frame may include an inner hoop, outer hoop with clamp, and two legs to support the hoops in a raised, angled position. The purpose of this invention is to provide a means of readily converting a craft hoop assembly to a display frame for displaying a relatively flat item, such as a photograph or illustration. The diameter of the outer hoop is then reduced, typically by tightening a clamping mechanism associated with the outer hoop, such that the outer hoop fits snugly against the material and inner hoop so as to hold the material between the two hoops.įurther features found in the prior art include legs for supporting the hoops in a raised position. The outer hoop is then placed over the material and around the inner hoop. Material upon which work is to be performed is placed across the inner hoop.
Typically, the inner hoop has a fixed diameter and the outer hoop has an adjustable diameter. This invention relates generally to display frames, such as picture frames, and more particularly to a system for converting a craft hoop assembly to a display frame.Ĭraft hoop assemblies generally include two concentric hoops or rings (an inner hoop and an outer hoop) for holding material such as fabric in a taut position over a center opening so that craft work, such as stitching with needle and thread, may readily be performed.
