In den Zeichnungen und hierbei insbesondere in Fig. 1 und 2 ist ein Bilderrahmen 10 gezeigt, der aus einzelnen Rahmenprofilen zusammengesetzt ist, wobei die dadurch erreichten Gestaltungsformen in Fig. 1 und 2 voneinander deutlich verschieden sind und damit verdeutlicht ist, dass durch die einzelnen mittels Steckverbindung zusammensetzbaren Rahmenprofile ein größenvariables System geschaffen ist, das an jede gewünschte Bildgröße angepasst werden kann und außerdem dreidimensional im Raum frei hängend oder stehend angeordnet werden kann oder an vertikalen Flächen, z. B. Wandflächen, Flächen von im Raum befindlichen Tragwänden od. dgl. angebracht werden kann mit Anpassung an den Verlauf der jeweiligen Wandfläche.In the drawings and in particular in Fig. 1 and 2 a picture frame 10 is shown, which is composed of individual frame profiles, the resulting achieved in Fig. 1 and 2 are clearly different from each other and thus illustrates that a variable size system is created by the individual composable by means of connector frame profiles, which can be adapted to any desired image size and also three-dimensionally freely suspended or standing in the room or on vertical surfaces, such. As wall surfaces, surfaces od in the space supporting walls. The like. Can be attached with adaptation to the course of the respective wall surface.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Bilderrahmen 10 dargestellt, der z. B. an einer vertikalen Wand 11 anliegt bzw. gehalten ist, die aus drei aneinander anschließenden und zueinander z. B. unter einem Winkel von etwa 90° verlaufenden Wandflächen 12, 13 und 14 besteht. Die Wandflächen 12 und 13 bilden eine erste Ecke 15. Die Wandflächen 13 und 14 bilden eine zweite Ecke 16. Auch wenn diese Ecken 15, 16 hier als 90°-Ecken dargestellt sind, kann der Eckwinkel auch kleiner oder größer 90° sein. Bei der Wand 11 kann es sich um eine feststehende Raumwand handeln oder statt dessen auch um eine z. B. bei Ausstellungen od. dgl. genutzte mobile Demonstrationswand.In Fig. 1 a picture frame 10 is shown, the z. B. rests on a vertical wall 11 and is held, which consists of three adjoining and each other z. B. at an angle of about 90 ° extending wall surfaces 12, 13 and 14 consists. The wall surfaces 12 and 13 form a first corner 15. The wall surfaces 13 and 14 form a second corner 16. Although these corners 15, 16 are shown here as 90 ° corners, the corner angle may be smaller or larger than 90 °. When the wall 11 may be a fixed room wall or instead of a z. B. at exhibitions od. Like. Used mobile demonstration wall.

Der Bilderrahmen 10 in Fig. 1 ist aus einzelnen Rahmenprofilen zusammengesteckt, von denen die im Bereich der Ecke 15 befindlichen obere und untere bogenförmige Rahmenprofile 17 sind, die starr oder vorzugsweise flexibel sein können, und von denen die übrigen lineare Rahmenprofile 18 sind. Ein oberes und ein unteres lineares Rahmenprofil 18 sind dabei an die bogenförmigen Rahmenprofile 17 angeschlossen und damit durch Steckverbindung verbunden. An diese schließen sich im Bereich der Ecke 16 obere und untere lineare Rahmenprofile 18 an, die mittels eckseitiger Verbindungsmittel 19 mit diesen verbunden sind. Zwischen den oberen und unteren waagerechten Rahmenprofilen 18 verläuft am Ende ein vertikales lineares Rahmenprofil 18, das im Eckbereich mittels eckseitiger Verbindungsmittel 20 angeschlossen sind. Am in Fig. 1 linken Ende des Bilderrahmens 10 verläuft ebenfalls vertikal ein lineares Rahmenprofil 18, das ebenfalls über eckseitige Verbindungsmittel 20 an die oberen und unteren bogenförmigen Rahmenprofile 17 angeschlossen ist. Die horizontalen linearen Rahmenprofile 18 sind an die oberen und unteren bogenförmigen Rahmenprofile 17 über längsseitige Verbindungsmittel 21 angeschlossen.The picture frame 10 in Fig. 1 is composed of individual frame profiles, of which the upper and lower arcuate frame profiles 17 located in the region of the corner 15 are, which may be rigid or preferably flexible, and of which the remaining linear frame profiles 18 are. An upper and a lower linear frame profile 18 are connected to the arcuate frame sections 17 and thus connected by plug connection. Close to this in the corner 16 upper and lower linear frame profiles 18, which are connected by means of eckseitiger connecting means 19 thereto. Between the upper and lower horizontal frame profiles 18 extends at the end of a vertical linear frame profile 18, which are connected in the corner by eckseitiger connection means 20. At the in Fig. 1 Left end of the picture frame 10 also extends vertically a linear frame profile 18, which is also connected via eckseitige connecting means 20 to the upper and lower arcuate frame sections 17. The horizontal linear frame profiles 18 are connected to the upper and lower arcuate frame profiles 17 via longitudinal connection means 21.

Bei dem in Fig. 2 gezeigten zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel eines Bilderrahmens 10 fehlen im Vergleich zu Fig. 1 das obere und untere lineare Rahmenprofil 18, das sich über die längsseitigen Verbindungsmittel 21 an die oberen und unteren bogenförmigen Rahmenprofile 17 anschließt. Dadurch ist der Bilderrahmen 10 an die im Vergleich zu Fig. 1 schmalere Wandfläche 13 angepasst, derart, dass sich im Bereich der wandseitigen Ecke 15 die oberen und unteren bogenförmigen Rahmenprofile 17 erstrecken bishin zur Ecke 16 und von dort die beiden oberen und unteren linearen Rahmenprofile 18 abstreben, die über die eckseitigen Verbindungsmittel 19 angeschlossen sind.At the in Fig. 2 shown second embodiment of a picture frame 10 is missing compared to Fig. 1 the upper and lower linear frame profile 18 extending over the longitudinal connecting means 21 to the upper and lower arcuate frame sections 17 connects. As a result, the picture frame 10 is compared to Fig. 1 adapted narrower wall surface 13, such that in the region of the wall-side corner 15 extend the upper and lower arcuate frame sections 17 bishin the corner 16 and from there the two upper and lower linear frame profiles 18 strive, which are connected via the corner-side connecting means 19.
