Disclosed is a frameless picture support in which a picture is placed between a cover plate and a backing plate fixed together by spring clips having hooks going around the edges of the support and back parts behind the support. The back parts are kept in position behind the backing plate by headed pins with the bending of arch-like parts of the clips. The clips have steps across their widths for locking them in place against the pins.

A frameless support for pictures comprising in combination: a backing plate having a plurality of pins fixedly joined thereon in spaced relationship, each pin having a shank portion and a head portion; a plurality of clips, each clip having a slotted resilient retaining element at one end and a hook element at the opposite end; said slotted resilient retaining element having first and second parts of generally the same lengths said parts being out of alignment with each other in the longitudinal direction by means of a step transverse thereto; and said hook element fixedly joined to the slotted resilient retaining element of the clip wherein the first and second parts of the slotted resilient retaining element form a continuous springing arch member with the end portions of the arch member each resting on the back side of the backing plate and wherein said slotted area extends along the longitudinal axis of the clip past the step as far as the second part of the slotted resilient retaining element with the slot width being somewhat greater than the diameter of the shanks of the pins.
