HENRY IVES POOR, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING FRAMES OR THE LIKE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 771,930, dated October 11, 1904:. Application filed February 17, 1903. Serial No. 143,782. (No model.)
To (tZZ whom/ it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY Ivns PooR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Devices for Supporting Frames or the Like, of which the following is a full, clear, concise, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.
My invention relates to means for supporting frames, such as printing-frames and the like, to hold them in proper position.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple, practical, and expedient device of this kind and to arrange it so as to permit adjustment of the frame to any angle or inclination both horizontally and vertically, so as in the case of a printing-frame to secure the proper adjustment for the sun no matter what the position of the same.
In the device herein set forth for carrying out myinvention I providea base-piece which is adapted to be secured in position on any suitable structure or support-as, for example, to a window-sill. I also provide a standard or post which is pivotally connected to the base-piece, so as to permit inclination or variation about a horizontal pivot, and this post is provided with a frame-piece which is adapted to be secured to the frame or other article to be supported and has a swivel connection with the post or standard, so as to permit of its adjustment to any inclination about a vertical pivot. This adjustment of the frame can be made about the horizontal pivot of the post and about the vertical pivot of the framepiece, thereby permitting inclination or adjustment in any desired manner both horizontally and vertically.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a frame and device embodying my invention for supporting the same and a portion of a structure supporting the device. Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but with the parts in different positions. Figs. 3 and 4 are respectively side and end views of the device.
Referring first to Figs. 3 and 4, it will be seen that the device consists of a base-piece 1, conveniently made of a flat strip with an upturned end 2. This end 2 is provided with an aperture 3, and in this fits a screw 4, having a milled head 5. The screw 4 engages a post or standard 6, so that the screw serves as a pivot for the standard 6, thereby permitting its inclination or angular adjustment about said screw. The latter also serves as means for holding or looking the standard 6 in any adjusted position. This of course is procured by tightening the screw until it draws the post 6 against the upright end 2 of the base-plate 1. The top of the post 6 is bored or provided with a socket 7, and into this is fitted the stem 8 of a frame-piece 9. The post 6 is also provided with a threaded aperture 10 and into this is fitted a screw 11, having a milled head 12, so that the screw 11 can be screwed into contact with the stem 8 of the frame-piece 9, and thereby lock the same in position, it being seen that the framepiece 9 can be turned or adjusted upon the stem 8 to any desired position or inclination. The base-piece 1 and frame-piece 9 are adapted to be secured the base-piece l to any suitable structure or support, such as a windowsill, and the frame-piece 9 to the frame or other article to be supported. To such end they are provided with screw-holes 13 13 and 14 14, respectively.
' In Fig. 1 I have shown the base-piece 1 secured to a part of a window-sill l5 and in Fig. 2 secured to the side 16 of a windowframe and have also shown the frame-piece 9 secured to one edge of a frame 17. These two figures illustrate different positions to which the frame may be adjusted. It will be seen that angular adjustment can be secured by adjusting the post 6 about its pivotal connection with the base-piece l and also adjusting the frame-piece 9 about its swivel or pivotal connection with the post 6. Thus substantially any adjustment or inclination of the frame or other article supported by the device can be secured.
It will be understood that changes and modifications can be made in the device herein set forth without departing from the spirit of my invention and that I do not, therefore, wish to be understood as confining myself to the specific structure herein outlined.
\Vhat I claim is 1. A device of the class specified, comprising a base-piece adapted to be secured to a sup porting-surface and having a laterally-projecting portion, a post or standard pivotally connected to one side of said lateral projection, and a frame-piece having a swivel connection with the outer end of the post or standard, substantially as described.
2. A device of the class specified, comprising a base-piece 1 having a lateral projection 2, a screw L extending through the lateral projection 2, a post or standard 6 pivotally supported by the screw 4, a flitll'lC-DIGCG 9 having a stem 8 adapted to fit in a socket formed in the end of the post 6, and a screw 11 serving as a locking device for the frame-piece 9, sub stantially as described.
3. In a device of the class specified, the combination of a post or standard having its end provided with an axial socket, and a frame-piece having a stem adapted to fit into said socket, substantially as described.
4. In a device of the class specified, the combination of a post or standard having its end provided with an axially-disposed socket, a frame-piece having a stem adapted to fit into said socket, and a screw for locking said frame-piece in position, substantially as described.
In witness whereof I hereunto subscribe my name this 13th day of February, A. D. 1903.
HENRY IVES POOR.
