Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filedSeptember 21, 1912. Serial No. 721,661.

To all whom it may concern:

, Be it known that I, MIKE ELYOVSZKY, a subject of the King of Hungary, residing at North Tonawanda, in the county of Niagara and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pictore-Frames, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to picture frames and my invention aims to provide an ornamental inlaid frame that presents a neat and attractive appearance, the frame being built up of sectionssnugly and perfectly fitted together, to provide a strong,rigid and durable construction that can be used as a frame for mirrors as well as pictures.

My invention further aims to accomplish the above results by a mechanical construction that will be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed, and reference will.

now be had to the drawingg'wherein Figure 1 1s a front elevation of the frame, Flg. 2 1s a rear elevation of a portion of the same, Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view of the same, and Fig. 4 is perspective View of a portion of the frame.

A frame in accordance with this invention comprises parallel rails 1 having the ends thereof glued or otherwise connected to the flat ends 2 of corner blocks 3, thereby providing a rectangular structure. The confronting sides of the rails l have longitudinal cleats 4 intermediate the ends thereof and transverse cleats 5 at the corner blocks 3. The cleats 4: and 5 support a backing late 6 that is flush with the front sides of t e corner blocks 3.

Glued or otherwise mounted upon the backing plate 6 is a piece of fabric 7, as felt and glued or otherwise mounted upon the front side of the rails 1 and the corner blocks 3 are parallel facing strips 8 that project over the edges of the piece of fabric 7 as copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents,

ent colors, the colors harmonizing to provide an ornamental frame according to ones esthetic-taste.

In general appearance, the fabric or felt appears as though inlaid, and it is obvious that the strips and. ornamentations can be made of various kinds of woods or materials.

The facing strips 8 carried by the inner rails 1 provide a seat for a picture or mirror, either of which can be mounted in the frame in the ordinary manner.

What I claim is': I

1. A picture frame comprising corner blocks, parallel rails connecting said corner blocks, cleats carried by the inner sides of said rails, a backing plate arranged upon said cleats, a piece of fabric secured to said backing plate, facing strips secured to said rails and extending over the edges of said piece of fabric, and ornamental strips arranged upon and secured to said piece of fabric.

2. A picture frame comprising corner blocks,rails connecting said corner blocks, a backing plate supported. between said rails, a piece of fabric secured to said backing plate, and ornamental and differently colored strips arranged upon said piece of fab- In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
