Abstract
ABSTRACT An interlocking frame for selective engagement with a plurality of adjoining interlocking frames is presented herein. The frame includes a frame body that defines an interior portion at least partially enclosed by a plurality of interior walls, a front face, a rear face, and a plurality of peripheral walls. The interlocking frame also includes a plurality of locking tabs each selectively and independently rotationally disposable between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the frame body. Each of the locking tabs has an arm that extends beyond the frame body when the locking tab is disposed in the extended position in order to engage with a corresponding locking slot of an adjacent frame.
