PICTURE-HGLDER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented March 17, 1908.
Application filed march 29, 1907. Serial No. 365,385.
\-. I To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Gnovnn N. hiARVIN, citizen of the linited States, residing at Oberlin, in the county of Decatur and State of Kansas, have invented. certain new and useful Im irovements in Picture Holders, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to a combination picture easel, holder end hanger, and has for its object to provide a sim )le device of this character which can be easi and quickly ap lied to a picture or carr and which will 'orm a cheap and effective means whereby the same may be supported in an upright position or suspended upon a wall.
A further object of the invention is to so design the picture holds that it can be readily formed from strips of sheet unite-rial or wire and can therefore be manufactured and placed upon the market at a comparatively small cost.
For a full description of the invention and knowledge of the details of construction and the means for effecting the result, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the picture holder in the position assumed when suspended from a wall or vertical support. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the manner in which the holder operates to support a picture in an upright position upon a horizontel support. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the connection between the com )lemental members comprising the picture holder. showing the manner of bci' ding the some when used as indicated in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the manner of bonding the members when used as indicated in Fig. 2.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.
A picture holder constructed in accord ance with the present invention comprises essentially two coinpiemcntal sections 1 and 2 which are provided at their outer extremiof a picture or card 3, the inner portions of the said sections having an interlocking connection and providing a means for supporting the card in an upright'position or hanging the same upon a wall or other verticai support. The complemental section 2 of the picture holder is formed with the diverging arms 4, the extremities of which carry hoo members 5 engaging an edge of the card 3, while at their meeting ends an eye 5 is formed. In the specific construction of this section 2 it will be observed that the same is formed from a single strip of sheet material, or a single wire,- the central portion of which constitutes a cross bar 7 at the inner end of the section 2, the opposite end portions of the strip being folded laterally and angularly to form the diverging arms 4 which cross each other at their inner portions and have their outer extremities bent rearwardly to form the before mentioned hook members 5. The opposite complemental section 1 is in the nature of a strip having one end thereof bent baclovardl upon itself to form a. claw or book member 8, while the opposite end is formed with an opening i). In applying the two sections 1 and 2 to n card or picture 3 the inner end of the strip or wire 1 is passed through the eye 6 of the section .2 and drawn inwardly until the hook members 8 and 5 are brought .into engagement with opposite edges of the said picture. The portion of the strip 1 extending through the eye 6 is then bent backwardly in order to securely lock the complcmental sections .1 and. 2. to gether and at the same time form the arm 10. \Vhen it is desired to hang the picture against a vertical support. the arm 10 is bent against the section 1 and the opening 9 in the end portion thereof caused to enga e a nail or other projecting member upon tie said ver tical support. Should it be desired however to hold the picture in an upright position upon a shelf or horizontal support the arm 10 is caused to diverge outwardly from the back of the picture and thereby form the usual supporting leg or pro Owing to the peculiar construction of the picture hanger it will he observed that the same is adapted to be applied to aarious SAZGS of pictures or cords and forms a simple and effective means for supporting the same in the desired manner.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
]. A support for pictures and the like comflexible strip being designed to be either re' turned and suspended from the Wall, defieoted outwardly to form a prop for the picture. i
2. A suppert for pictures and the iike comprising e cross her having laterally disposed arms projecting therefrom, the said arms crossing each other to form a loop, and e flexible strip passing through the said eye end designed to be bent around the before mentioned cross her, said strip being provided with means for engaging an edge of the :dctung.
3. A support for pictures and the iihe cornrising e cross her the end portions of which ssneee are Bent laterally and singularly to form dible strip adapted to be bent eround, the be-- fore mentioned cross bar and constituting a support for the picture, one end of the flexi- 1e strip being provided with means for engaging an edge of the picture.
In testimony whereof I affix 'my signature in presence of two Witnesses. GROVER N. MARVIN. Witnesses:
