"EASEL FOR PICTURE FRAMES" ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The easel is a flat, generally diamond-shaped member formed of non-scratching stiff, resilient material, such as plastic. The member has a line of weakness extending thereacross between its opposed oblique angle points. The member can therefore easily be bent along the line of weakness to adopt a two-sided pyramidal form having rearwardly inclined, load- supporting edges and bottom edges. Means are provided along the load-supporting edges for disengageably supporting and frictionally interlocking with a picture frame or flat sheet to be displayed in spaced, non-scratching arrangement above a flat support surface, such as a table top. In the case of a channel- type picture frame, the means may comprise opposed L-shaped slots extending inwardly from each load-supporting edge a short distance above the bottom edge. The L-shaped slots form a T- shaped member. The T-shaped member can frictionally interlock with the base channel of a picture frame, to suspend the frame in a rearwardly inclined display position. Because each T- shaped member is formed at a point along its load-supporting edge, which point is spaced above the bottom edge, the picture frame is suspended above and out of contact with the table support surface. In use, the side walls of the pyramidal member can be adjusted together or apart to alter the angle of inclination of the picture frame. The frictional interlock between the T-shaped members and the channel ensures that the spacing of the side walls is maintained.
