Fitting
Sports Shirts into the frame
- Instructions
Tips
You have ordered your sports shirt frame, and its arrived.
To make things easy everything is inserted or removed from the
back, with the case face down.
now you have the display frame
you can see how it all goes together
we send
it assembled
for you. Taking apart the frame is very simple.
-
The clips on the back lift and turn (they are sprung). Turn
them so that they are flat along the back of the frame
moulding to keep them off the back, and the back will simply
lift out!
-
You will also find a copy of these instructions inside to
save you printing these out.
You will need to remove the plastic protective layer from the
glazing
(if it is
styrene acrylic). This simply peels off. Leave this till you
are finished, so that it remains clean, and try to guard against
static attracting dust and bits and pieces to it as you remove
the protective layers on each side.
Take care, this material scratches much more easily than glass,
although scratches can be polished out.
Hanging:
We have enclosed two suitable D-Ring hanging fixtures for the
weight of this item, plus screws so you can fix these in and
hang the display frame either way. We highly recommend that you
hang this on TWO secure fittings, due to the weight of the item.
We cannot pre-fit these, as we do not know which way up you will
want to hang the frame. Fit these last! The cord supplied is
rated to over 100lb/45kg.
Assembly is best done with the frame laid flat, face down on a
clean table.

back, with the case face down.
1.
Remove in this order:
-
MDF Backing
(clips off) The spring clips can be rotated 90 degrees (onto the
back of the frame rim) when removing the backing.
-
Foamcore
item backing
-
Spacer slip
(optional – paint your spacer in desired colour if required
–this is best done when it is removed from the frame)
-
Mount (if
supplied)
-
Glazing
2.
Attach your shirt to the backing
-
Fixing the shirt to the
inner backing
(the white
lightweight board).: We suggest that you pin the shirt or stitch
it lightly. (note– don’t worry too much about the bottom, as
gravity will keep it straight and level once you have attached
the top)
-
tip: You may wish
to pin it “around” the board, inserting pins into the
board edge. This
is a simple and very secure method. (you will find that the
board has been specially cut with an allowance to enable you to
do this if required). The backing board
will go onto the back once you have the inner board in
place with the shirt attached.
NOTE the
board is cut with a small allowance and is a few mm
smaller than the spacer rebate where it sits.
This is
intentional to allow shirt sleeves (etc) to be wrapped behind if
required) You may also use some of the supplied bubble-wrap to
fill between the foamcore and MDF back if required.
And, if required, you can very simply trim this board further
with a craft knife or sharp scissors. Normally this is not
required.
3.
Re-assemble in this order
-
First remove
any protective covering (peels off) from
the inside
of the
glazing and any remove protective paper/tissue/packaging.
(Leave the outside till you
are completely finished, so that it remains clean)
Take care, this material scratches much more easily than glass,
although scratches can be polished out.
-
Glazing
-
Mount (if
supplied)
-
Spacer
-
Backing (with your item now attached)
-

Hanging:
-
We enclose two suitable D-Ring hanging fixtures for the
weight of this item, plus screws so you can fix these in and
hang the display frame either way. We highly recommend that you
hang this on TWO secure fittings (two
picture hooks).
We cannot pre-fit these, as we do not know which way up you will
want to hang the frame. Fit these last! The cord supplied is
rated to over 100lb/45kg, although your
finished frame and contents will weigh about the same as an
ordinary picture frame the same size.
