A picture frame mat made by the process of injection molding a molten material into a prepared mold, allowing the material to cool and ejecting the resultant mat. The molten material may be selected from the group consisting of plastic, glass, ceramic, liquid metal, powdered metal and combinations thereof. A secondary step in manufacturing the mat involves modifying a surface portion of the mat. This step is selected from the group consisting of a) plating said surface portion, b) adding a surface modifier to a mold cavity prior to injecting said material, and c) coating said surface portion with said surface modifier. The surface modifier added to the mold cavity consists of graphics carried by a Mylarnull sheet. The plating step is preferably electroplating using copper, brass, pewter, antique versions of those three, gold, or statuary finishes. The coating step would comprise the addition of paint to areas of the treated surface portion.

A process for making a picture frame includes the step of printing border art and registration marks on a piece of transparent sheet material, such as vinyl or polycarbonate plastic sheet material, while leaving a center window portion transparent. Then making a laser cut path in a computer digital file for the printed transparent sheet material for cutting the outside path of the border art and then coating an adhesive onto the transparent sheet material to cover the printed artwork and transparent center window. The process includes attaching the transparent sheet material having the printed border surrounding a transparent center window onto a transparent polymer picture frame member, cutting the transparent sheet of material along the computer stored cutout path on the outer edge of the border art to form an outer border on the transparent material and transparent picture frame member. The transparent polymer sheet is heated and folded to form a backing for the picture frame. The process can also utilize a coating of ultraviolet activated adhesive applied over the printed transparent sheet, then passing the polymer sheet and transparent sheet through a pair of rollers for removing air bubbles and then directing ultraviolet light through the polymer sheet onto the adhesive to activate the adhesive. The process can also include attaching a frame easel or support to the back of the picture frame.

A picture frame and accompanying audio message circuit is provided such that one or more desired audio messages stored in the audio message circuit associated with one or more display pictures can be played upon the touching of the pictures or the frame, or in response to a voice recognition device sensing an audio command associated with the particular audio message and/or pictures. When audio message playback is desired, a switch on the frame or under a protective cover for the picture is activated by touching, or a position sensitive device may be used to sense whether a particular position on the picture has been touched. Digital or analog information representing the desired audio message is retrieved from a memory device, which is subsequently transmitted to a speaker which produces the desired audio message perceptible to a human. In other embodiments, multiple picture and multiple messages are provided such that the user can touch a particular picture, or the switch associated with that picture, and an audio message corresponding to the picture is then played through the speaker. In still other embodiments, a system is provided with a plurality of pictures mounted in the perimeter faces of a cube or other geometrical shape, each picture having associated with it a switch for activating a message or plurality of messages. In still other embodiments, a position sensitive device or a voice recognition device is utilized to initiate audio message playback.

The no-sew upholstery system of the invention comprises a soft or semi-soft foam which is covered by fabric through a wrap and tuck process. The form incorporates an opening through an exterior surface. The fabric employed is wrapped around the form and its ends are tucked through the exterior opening. The form may also incorporate a pocket in the interior to provide additional area for accepting the fabric. Multiple fabric accents and devices for decoration and locking function may be selectively inserted into the opening. Because of the characteristics of the foam and the close-fit force exerted on the ends of fabric, the result is to provide a form which holds the fabric in place-yet, one which is easy to cover by the purchaser without the need for any sewing, gluing or stapling to give a customized look.

A golf commemorator includes a support with a forward portion having an open interior for displaying a picture (e.g., a photograph) on a layer and an actual golf ball superimposed with a cover. A first transparent portion of the cover serves to buttress the layer. A second transparent portion of the cover serves to receive the golf ball. Forward and rearward interfaces serve to secure the cover and the layer for displaying the picture and the golf ball in the open interior. In one example, the support can include a frame and/or a backing, and the forward and/or rearward interfaces can comprise a stop and/or a fastener. The forward and/or rearward interfaces can be formed integrally with the support. The cover can comprise a transparent member having an expanse with a hollow protuberance. A section of the expanse can be formed substantially flat, for buttressing the layer. The hollow protuberance preferably has sufficient space to substantially cup the golf ball. The picture can be superimposed and/or associated visually with the golf ball.
摘要:
Optical arrangements are provided by which observers of flat containers or display boxes, such as compact disc (CD) jewel boxes, can be presented with different information about the contents of the box when looking at one of its surfaces from different angular perspectives. Advantageously, parallax effects are compensated where the size of the observable images and the viewing distance create undesirable visual artifacts. Horizontally and vertically oriented lenticulated panels are used in combination with interlaced images to convey the differently coded views without the need for physically manipulating such boxes as in the past to see equivalent information. Compliant inserts preferably provide the information content of the various views and are adapted for use with industry automated insert machinery while being self aligning with the lenticulated panels. These arrangements enhance the possibilities for displaying more and different kinds of information on a given box surface area compared with conventional approaches, and as such, enhance the prospects for increasing initial and multiple sales of CD products.
