Abstract
In a paperboard picture frame or the like support for holding picture or painting frames, or related type of items, a base member comprising a solid sheet of paperboard, or formed as a marginal member, has a series of corner straps depending from it, and which corner straps are sectionalized to provide for the fold over of each strap for embracing the proximate end of the supported frame, with one of the sections of the strap generally folding intermediate of the supported frame and the base member of the support, in order to secure the frame in place without necessitating the usage of any adhesive or other fastener. But, it may be that the final section of the corner strap may be adhesively secured to the underside of the base member to likewise provide for securement of the frame in place. Various modifications to the supported frame include various tabs, that afford protection to the supported frame, various flanges that aid in its handling, or to provide overlying coverage in the event that further protection is needed for the supported frame, particularly when it may be delivered through the mails.
