Picture Frame Easel Back Replacement

Abstract

The invention consists of a single piece of a stiff resilient material in an irregular hexagon shape that may be folded along three designated lines of weakness into a triangular pyramid shape and then attached to the back picture frame by means of a commercial adhesive or Velcro patches with said pyramid shape supporting the frame for display on a horizontal surface such as a table or desk.

The invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for the replacement of a picture frame easel back comprising an irregular hexagon shape and flat member formed from a stiff resilient member, said member having three lines of weakness extending transversely between opposite points across the member whereby the member may be folded at these lines of weakness to form a generally triangular pyramid shape which then may be affixed to the backing board of a picture frame to support the picture frame for display on a horizontal surface. 
     
     
         2 . A device for supporting a picture frame for display on a horizontal surface, said device comprising an irregular hexagon shape and flat member formed from a stiff resilient member, said member having three lines of weakness extending transversely between opposite points across the member whereby the member may be folded at these lines of weakness to form a generally triangular pyramid shape which then may be affixed to the backing board of a picture frame
