Abstract:
Disclosed here are methods, devices, paradigms and structures for wiring a picture frame, and for generating user defined templates for hanging picture frames wired using the device in various layouts. The device allows the maker of the frame to install a hanging wire to the frame at a predefined position, for example, at a predefined distance from a top edge of the frame. A spring-loaded peg mounted on a flat slab, at a predefined distance from a wall member of the device, allows wiring the frame such that the apex of the wire is at the predefined distance from the top edge of the frame. The frame is placed in the device with the top edge of the frame adjacent to the wall member. The flat slab is configured to move vertically on a channel guide mounted on the wall member to accommodate varying thickness of the frame.
Abstract:
Disclosed here are methods, devices, paradigms and structures for wiring a picture frame, and for generating user defined templates for hanging picture frames wired using the device in various layouts. A template may be generated on a flexible material, such as a paper. The template includes a manifestation of picture frames in a particular layout. The dimensions of the manifestation of the picture frames are substantially the same as actual picture frames for which the template is generated. The template also includes a marker in the manifestation of each of the picture frames that indicates a position for placing a fastener on the wall to hang the picture frame.
