A picture frame assembly includes a main body having a receiving portion for receiving a picture. A cover with a transparent portion is attached to the main body to against and display the picture received in the main body. A first urging means is disposed between the main body and the cover to produce a first urging force to urge against the cover to firmly be attached to the main body, and as the cover is released from the main body to urge against the cover to depart from the main body in a first direction. A second urging means is disposed between the main body and the cover to produce a second urging force to urge against the cover to depart from said main body in a second direction when the cover is released from the main body.

What is claimed is: 1. A picture frame assembly comprising: a main body having a receiving portion for receiving a picture; a cover having a transparent portion, said cover being releasably attached to said main body in such a way that when said cover is attached to said main body, it can display the picture through said transparent portion; a first urging means disposed between said main body and said cover in such a way that said urging means can produce a first urging force to urge against said cover to firmly be attached to said main body, and to urge against said cover to depart from said main body in a first upward direction when said cover is released from said main body; and a second urging means disposed between said main body and said cover in such a way that when said cover is released from said main body, said second urging means produces a second urging force to urge against said cover to depart from said main body in a second horizontally outward direction, said second horizontally outward direction being perpendicular to said first upward direction, wherein said second urging means includes a first and second magnetic members being of the same magnetic polarities, said first and second magnetic members are disposed respectively in said main body and said cover in such a way that said first magnetic and second members can be repelled magnetically. 2. The picture frame assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein said receiving portion of said main body includes a recess to accommodate the picture to be displayed. 3. The picture frame assembly as defined in claim 2, wherein said recess has a bottom wall and a side wall. 4. The picture frame assembly as defined in claim 3, wherein said cover includes a plate with a center opening and a first transparent member installed in said center opening of said plate to form said transparent portion. 5. The picture frame assembly as defined in claim 4, wherein said plate has edges with a predetermined thickness and is releasably set in said side wall with said edges thereof. 6. The picture frame assembly as defined in claim 5, wherein said side wall of said recess has a first groove and a second groove opposite in location to each other, either said first groove or said second groove has a width which is larger than the thickness of the edges of said plate such that said plate can be releaseably set in said grooves with the edges thereof. 7. The picture frame assembly as defined in claim 6, wherein said first urging means includes at least one elastic member disposed in said first groove to produce said first urging force to urge against said plate firmly attached to said main body. 8. The picture frame as defined in claim 7, wherein said elastic member is a coil spring. 9. The picture frame assembly as defined in claim 4, further comprising a second transparent member which is set in said bottom wall of said recess in such a way that it can form a second transparent portion opposite to said first transparent portion. 10. The picture frame assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein said cover includes a plate with a center opening and a first transparent member installed in said center portion to form said transparent portion, and said receiving portion includes a recess to install said plate. 11. The picture frame assembly as defined in claim 10, wherein said first magnetic member is disposed in said plate, and said second magnetic member is disposed in said main body corresponding to said first magnetic member. 12. The picture frame assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein said cover includes a plate with an upper rail, a bottom rail, and a center portion, a first transparent member installed in said center portion of said plate to form said transparent portion, and said receiving portion includes a recess to install said plate. 13. The picture frame assembly as defined in claim 12, wherein said recess has a bottom wall, a side wall with a first groove and a second groove opposite in location to each other to receive said rails of said plate such that said plate can be releasably set in said main body. 14. The picture frame assembly as defined in claim 13, wherein said first magnetic member is embedded in said upper rail of said plate, said second magnetic member is embedded in said bottom wall corresponding to said first magnetic member. 15. The picture frame assembly as defined in claim 14, wherein said first urging means includes at least one elastic member disposed in said first groove to produce said first urging force to urge against said plate firmly attached to said main body. 16. The picture frame as defined in claim 15, wherein said elastic member is a coil spring.
