Title: Framed picture puzzle

Abstract: A jigsaw type puzzle is held in a frame formed of three laminations held together and comprising a picture border, an intermediate spacer and a backing plate. An aperture defined in the intermediate spacer receives the assembled picture puzzle with edges thereof under a ledge defined by a smaller picture viewing aperture in the border lamination. To permit assembly in place on the frame for viewing, storing and hanging, the puzzle pieces are resilient so they can be bent for insertion of the edges under the ledge, and in one form comprise strips extending across one dimension of the picture viewing aperture, which may be bowed in the middle.
