Easelback
Definition
Easelback is a hardware component installed on a small wall-mounted picture frame to convert it into a table-top display frame. It allows the frame to stand upright on flat surfaces such as desks, shelves, or countertops.
Function
- Converts wall frames into free-standing frames for tabletop display.
- Provides stability and proper angle for optimal viewing of the artwork or photograph.
- Works in combination with other frame hardware like rubber bumpers or offset clips for protection and support.
Materials & Construction
- Typically made of cardboard, MDF, or rigid plastic.
- Foldable or hinged design for easy storage when not in use.
- Durable enough to support the weight of small to medium frames without tipping.
Best Practices
- Ensure the easelback is securely attached to prevent accidental collapse.
- Use on flat, level surfaces for safe display.
- Combine with rubber bumpers to prevent slipping or surface damage.
- Check compatibility with the frame size and weight before installation.
