IMPROVEMENT IN TOILET-M IRROR AND OTHER FRAMES.

The Schedule referred4 to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it l:mty concern:

Be it known that we, EDWARD P. WILLIAMS, of Elizabeth, in the county of Union and State of New Y Jersey, and GEORGE H. CHINNOCK, of the city,4 county, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Method of Making Toilet-mirror and other similar Frames; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying dra-wing making a part ol' this specification. Figure 1 is a front view of a toilet-mirror or other similar frame.

Figure 2 is a sectional view.

Figure 3 is a back View of a toilet-mirror frame.

Figure 4 is a sectional view of several. layers of veneeiing. A

Like letters in the different figures of the drawing indicate like parts.

Our invention consists of a. mirror-frame made of wood, formed by gluing together thin layers .with the grain arranged transversely, the frames being afterward cut out by scroll-saws, and the groove formed in alatbe with a turners chisel, and then eut apart in one place, to insert the glass and back. l

We take a suitable number of thin layers of wood, c c a, say three or more, as the size ofthe frame may require, and -glne them together; with the grain of each alternate layer arranged transversely. The whole is then put into a clamp, and kept-there awhile until the glue has become bard, when the frame A is cnt out by a scroll-saw to the size and shape de# sired.

lt -is then placed in a lathe, and the groove B formed by a turneios chisel, after which one end is cut through witha fine saw* at C, and the glass and back inserted in the groove, by springing apart the ends on either side of the cut,;and then gluing them together.

In case the glass should accidentally get broken at any time, by putting the glued end in warm water, to soften the glue, the ends rn'ay be easily worked apart Vand a newl glass inserted, the ends being glued together again.. ,w

lBy Vthis method of'securing the glass' and back in the frame we are `enabled to accomplish itwith less frames may be conveniently removed and cleaned at.

any time. v Having thus fully described our invention, l

`What we claim therein as new, and de sire to Isecure by Letters Patent, is-

The toilet-mirror frame, when made of different layers of wood, arranged and glued together as described, the groove being formedl and the frame cut apart to admit -the glass and back, and then secured together, all substantially as described.

As evidence that we claim the foregoing as our invention, we have hereunto set our hands in the presence of two witnesses.

EDWARD P. WILLIAMS. GEO. H. OHINNOGK.

H. O. UPPERMAN, HENRY B. Ricos.
