PlCTU RE-FRAM E.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 630,240, dated August 1, 1899.
Application filed March 3, 1899.
T0 (LZZ whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ALCUIN E. KINTNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Painesville, in the county of Lake, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Frames, of which the following, with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and complete specification.
The invention relates to frames for pictures, mirrors, signs, and the like.
The object of the invention is to provide a device for holding the glass, picture, and backing securely together, said device being simple and inexpensive in construction and easily applied.
The invention consists in the combination and construction hereinafter described, and pointed out definitely in the claims.
In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 illustrates a front view of a frame, showing the application of the improvement, one corner of the glass and pic ture broken away and the ornament left off. Fig. 2 is an enlarged edge view of one corner. Fig. 3 is a view of the blank from which the device is made. Fig. a shows the device completed ready for application, and Fig. 5 shows a slightly-modified form of the device.
Similar letters of reference designate similar parts in the drawings and specification.
The improved frame is preferably made from sheet metal, although it will be readily seen from the following that it may be constructed of wire Without departing from the nature of theinvention. I will here describe the construction as applied to rectangular articles. In making it from sheet metal the blanks A are first out. They are then folded on the dotted lines 1 2 3 at over a form, which may be the corner of a flat board or any suitable piece of material about the thickness of the article to be framed. The device is then in the form shown in Fig. 4: and is ready to beapplied. Four of the corners thus formed are next placed on the four corners of the backing and the slits b and Z) marked. The corner-pieces are then removed and the slits b I) cut through the backing. The tongues a a are then bent at right angles to the part a on the dotted lines 5 and 6. The four corner-pieces are next slipped over the corners Serial No. 707,612. (No model.)
of the picture B and the glass 0 or other article to be framed, and the tongues a a are passed through the slits b b of the backing D and folded back on the outside of the backing, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1. The tongues a a, passing through the slits b b and being folded back, have a tendency to draw the four corner-pieces toward each other, and thus bind the structure firmly together. The angle or channel pieces 0 c c 0 may then be placed over the edges and attached to. the corner-pieces by any suitable meansas, for example, a drop of solder. The pieces a c c c are, however, not necessary in the construction of the frame, as the structu re is firm and serviceable without their use. Suitable ornaments E may be applied to the corner-pieces, if desired, and the angle or channel pieces 0 c c 0 may be more or less ornamental.
It will readily be seen that the device may be applied to other than right-angled corners by simply changing the first two folds to correspond to the sides of the angle to be used.
The modified construction shown in Fig. 5 is used principally in framing circular articles. In this construction the blank A is stamped so as to form a channel and is provided with a tongue a, which is adapted to pass through the backing and be folded back as described in the rectangulardevice. Three or more of these pieces are applied and may be connected by the circular angle or channel strip 0.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination with a picture or other article to be framed and a backing for the same, of a piece of sheet material folded to fit over the edge of the article on both sides of the same and formed with tongues at the edges of the bent-over flanges and inserted through the backing and bent down on the same, substantially as set forth.
2. In a frame for pictures, mirrors or similar articles, the combination of the picture or other article and a backing for the same, with corner-pieces folded to fit over the edges of the corners of the article and having tongues upon their bent-over flanges inserted through and bent down on the backing, and strips connecting said corner-pieces, substantially as set forth.
3. ha frame for pictures, mirrors o'r similar articles, the combination of the picture or other article and a backing for the same, with corner-pieces folded to fit over the edges of the corners of the article and provided with means for securing them to the same, and strips secured to said corner-pieces to connect the same and complete the frame, substanr0 tially as set forth.
