A connector for repositionably securing a frame to a support surface includes a body having a first face, an opposite second face, a first side edge and an opposite second side edge. The connector has a non-permanent adhesive layer located along the first face and further includes an angled release tab that extends outwardly from the first side edge. One or more projections extend outwardly from the second face and are configured for being received within a rear of the frame for coupling the connector to the frame.

Connector for frame

A lawn sign attachment kit for attaching a sign to a sign frame. The kit includes a pair of adhesive connectors. Each adhesive connector includes a first end portion having a first width; a second end portion having a second width and an intermediate waist portion having a third width that is less than the first width and the second width. The adhesive connector has an inner face and an opposing outer face. The adhesive connector includes an integral finger that extends laterally outward from the second end portion. The adhesive connector having a first adhesive strip disposed transversely across the first end portion and a second adhesive strip disposed transversely across the second end portion and the integral finger.

A universal hanging mount includes a first substrate having a front face and a rear face. A mounting plate is coupled to the front face. The mounting plate has a rear face that is in contact with the front face of the first substrate and an opposite front face. A plurality of hanging adapters that are formed along the front face of the mounting plate. At least two of the plurality of the hanging adapters are different types of hanging adapters that are configured to mate with different types of hanging hardware that is located along a rear of a frame article.

Universal hanging mount

An article for hanging on a support surface includes a substrate having a first end and a second end. The article includes a pair of rails with each rail including a recessed channel that extends in a longitudinal direction. A pair of splines is provided with each spline including a raised ridge that extends in a longitudinal direction. The raised ridge is inserted into the recessed channel. The article also includes a first pair of end caps. An elongated hanging element passes through the slots of the first pair of end caps. Wherein in an assembled state, one rail and one spline are disposed adjacent one another such that the raised ridge is at least partially inserted into the recessed channel and the substrate is captured within the recessed channel and the first pair of end caps are disposed over opposite ends of the one rail and one spline to join and hold the one rail and one spline against one another with the substrate captured therebetween.

Hanging frame assembly

In one embodiment, a frame assembly includes a mitered frame base including a plurality of rail sections that are joined together in corners of the mitered frame base by a plurality of fasteners. Each rail section includes a first surface for receiving a layered image arrangement. The frame assembly also includes a plurality of mitered splines that are configured to snap-fittingly mate with the plurality of rail sections. Each spline having a second surface that faces the first surface of one of the respective rail sections for securing the layered image arrangement between the spline and the rail section. A corner gap is formed between ends of respective mitered splines in each corner of the frame assembly. A plurality of corner pieces are received within the corner gaps to complete the frame assembly, the plurality of corner pieces snap-fittingly engaging the plurality of rails sections.

Frame for displaying an image

A vertical slot hanger assembly includes a substrate having a top edge and a bottom edge and a plurality of holes or slits formed therein along each of the top edge and the bottom edge. The assembly further includes a top rail and a bottom rail. Each of the top rail and the bottom rail includes a recessed channel that extends in a longitudinal direction. Each rail has a plurality of blind holes formed therein. Each blind hole intersects the recessed channel. The top edge of the substrate is received within the recessed channel of the top rail and the bottom edge of the substrate is received within the recessed channel of the bottom rail. The system further includes an elongated hanging element that is disposed within the recessed channel between the top edge of the substrate and a top surface of the recessed channel. The system includes a plurality of fasteners for reception in the plurality of blind holes. Each fastener passes through one hole or slit of the substrate and is frictionally held and anchored within the respective blind hole, thereby securely coupling the substrate to the top rail and the bottom rail.
