Abstract

The present invention is a frame backing system to frame an item utilized with a frame with a back that is attached to said back of frame that includes a pair of formed apertures that are horizontally aligned 180 degrees from each other across the back of the frame backing system, a pair of threaded inserts placed in the formed apertures and a piece of sealing paper with a width to protect and seal the item attached to the back of frame and a plurality of apertures that correspond to an orientation of the threaded inserts and the formed apertures disposed on the frame. The system also includes a coupling device with an additional corresponding aperture with a wire with two ends that runs across the width of the sealing paper.

Claims

1. A frame backing system to frame an item utilized with a frame with a back that is attached to said back of frame, comprising:

a pair of formed apertures that are horizontally aligned 180 degrees from each other across said back of frame;

a pair of threaded inserts placed in said formed apertures;

a piece of sealing paper with a width to protect and seal said item attached to said back of frame and a plurality of apertures that correspond to an orientation of said threaded inserts and said formed apertures disposed on said frame;

a coupling device with a pair of flanges with a pair of additional corresponding apertures with a wire with two ends that runs across said width of said sealing paper and said frame that attaches said frame backing system to a corresponding hanging device, wherein said additional corresponding apertures are disposed on said ends of wire; and

a pair of attachment screws that are sequentially inserted through said additional coupling device apertures said sealing paper apertures and into said threaded inserts securing said frame backing system to said frame.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein said formed apertures are slightly smaller than said threaded insert to form a tight fit to secure said threaded insert.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein said threaded inserts are made of material selected from the group consisting of brass, steel, nickel, copper, aluminum, magnesium, durable plastic or polystyrene.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein said sealing paper is attached to said frame with an adhesive.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein said sealing paper is attached to said frame with two sided tape.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein said sealing paper is attached to said frame with a plurality of magnetic strips.

7. The system according to claim 1, wherein said sealing paper is made of material selected from the group of acid free paper, cotton paper, synthetic plastic paper, any conservation grade backing sheet or any archival grade backing sheet.

8. The system according to claim 1, wherein said frame is made of material selected from the group consisting of wood, plastic or metal.

9. A sealing and mounting kit that includes a plurality of components from a frame backing system, comprising:

a frame;

a piece of sealing paper that is coupled to said frame;

one or more threaded inserts that are inserted into one or more threaded apertures formed on said frame; and

a coupling device with a pair of flanges each with an additional corresponding aperture with a wire with two ends that runs across said width of said sealing paper and said frame that attaches said frame backing system to a corresponding hanging device, wherein said additional corresponding apertures are disposed on said ends of wire.

10. The kit according to claim 9, wherein said frame is made of material selected from the group consisting of wood, plastic or metal.

11. The kit according to claim 9, wherein said frame is coupled to said sealing paper with an adhesive.

12. The kit according to claim 9, wherein said frame is coupled to said sealing paper with two sided tape.

13. The kit according to claim 9, wherein said threaded inserts are made of material selected from the group consisting of brass, steel, nickel, copper, aluminum, magnesium, durable plastic or polystyrene.

14. A method for assembling a frame backing system, comprising:

producing a pair of horizontally corresponding apertures onto a frame;

inserting a threaded insert into each said produced aperture;

covering and sealing said frame with a piece of attached sealing paper; and

securely attaching a coupling device to said frame.

15. The method according to claim 14, wherein said producing said apertures includes drilling said apertures or screwing said threaded inserts into said frame forming said apertures by displacement of said threaded insert forming said apertures.

16. The method according to claim 15, wherein said apertures are drilled slightly smaller than said size of said threaded inserts.

17. The method according to claim 14, wherein said sealing paper is attached with a fastener selected from the group consisting of a plurality of corresponding magnets, adhesive or a plurality of strips of two sided tape.

18. The method according to claim 14, wherein said coupling device is a pair of flanges disposed on two ends of a wire.

19. The method according to claim 14, wherein a corresponding orientation of said threaded inserts are indicated on said sealing paper by a pair of corresponding indicia and producing a pair of second apertures on said pair of indicia.

20. The method according to claim 14, wherein said attachment screws are inserted through said flanges, said indicia and said threaded inserts.
