GEORGE P. HUMMER, OF GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN.
TOILET FASTENER.
My invention relates to improvements in toilet fasteners adapted. to detachably secure the frame of a mirror to a bureau, chest of drawers7 or other like article of furniture and its object is to provide a strong and detachahlc device that provides a rigid support for the frame that can be cheaply constructed of sheet metal and readily secured in place for use and that permits of easy detachment as cccasion may require, without necessity for the use of tools.
My device consists essentially of a plate of sheet metal or band iron adapted in its lower part to be secured to the back of the bureau or other article and having an opening in its upper part to receive a loop projecting therethrough; secured to the mirror frame. and having outwardly turned edges extending beneath the first named plate and a key or wedge adapted to eXtend vertically through said loop and between the same and the plate whereby the mirror frame is securely held in place, and also extending below the loop to provide a rigid support for the frame as will more fully appear by refei'ence to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a rear elevation of the upper part of a bureau having a mirror frame secured thereto by my device; Fig. '2 is an enlarged detail in elevation of a portion of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 the same shown at right angles to Fig. 2; Fig. 4: a perspective detail of the key; Fig. 5 the same of the loop; and Fig. 6 the same of the plate.
Like numbers refer to like parts in all of the figures.
l represents any convenient mirror frame or other device to be secured in place.
2 represents the top of a bureau or other analogous article, and 3 the rear of the same.
et represents a plate formed of an elongated piece of sheet metal or band iron the lower part of which is provided wit-h screw Specification of Letters Patent.

rectangular opening 9 at each 'side of which opening the plate is pressed outward as at 8 by substantially the amount of the thickness of the flanges 10 on the loop 5. This loop and its flanges consists metal substantially rectangular in form and with the middle portion pressed into U- shape and adapted to extend outward through the opening 9 of the plate. This portion is also tapered Vertically being somewhat larger at the upper end and wit-h substantially parallel sides, and at each side the edges are turned outward in the same plane to form flanges 10 to fit beneath 'the raised portions of the plate 8 and perforated for screws whereby the loop is securely attached to the rear of the mirror frame 1. A wedge or key 6 is provided that ts within the loop which wedge is substantially U- shaped in cross section and tapered to fit the taper of the loop and thus form a wedge to be driven downward in the loop. The edges of the key thus engage the outer surface of tlie plate and the convex outer surface of the wedge engages the inner side of the loop and thus forces the flanges 10 into close engagement with the strap. The edges 7 of the key are made slightly concave to insure bearing points near the ends of the key and extends a considerable distance below the loop and along the surface of the plate. l/Vhen the key is driven in place it thus forms a rigid and vertically extended support overlappingv the mirror frame and extending downward a considerable distance opposite the back of the bureau and along the surface of the plate provides a very substantial support for the frame which may be readily detached by driving out the keys as occasion may require.
It Will be noted that the bottom of the frame rests on the top of the case and any forward tilting of the frame is resisted by a longitudinal stress on the plates, and any backward tilting of the frame is rigidly resisted by the extended lower end of the key which engages the plate at the lower end only and at a considerable distance from the loop. A very satisfactory device can Vof a piece of sheet thus be made of sheet metal of moderate I thickness and cheaply formed by suitable l disks and a punch press.
lllhat I claim is 1. A toilet fastener, comprising a plate adapted at one end to be secured to a bureau and having an opening in the other end, a loop adapted to be attached to a mirror frame and to extend through said opening, and a wedge adapted to be inserted in the loop to secure the same in place in the said opening and extending below the loop to form a support for the frame.
2. A toilet fastener, comprising a plate adapted to be attached at its lower end to the back of a bureau and to extend above the same, and also having an opening in the upper part, a loop having a tapered and U- shaped middle portion to eXtend through said opening and outwardly turned flanges in the same plane adapted to be fastened to a mirror frame, and a tapered wedge to fit inside the loop and eXtending below the same to engage the outer side of the plate, to secure the plate and loop to each other and to form a rigid support for the frame.
3. A toilet fastener, comprising a plate adapted to be secured to the back of a bureau at one end having an opening in the other end to receive a loop, a loop U-shapcd in cross section tapered to t a wedge and adapted to extend through said opening and also having outwardly turned flanges in the same plane adapted to be attached to a mirror frame and to eXtend between the frame and the inner side of the plate, and a tapered wedge adapted to lit within the loop having a concave side to engage the plate and extending considerably below the loop to form a rigid support for the frame.
4. A toilet fastener, comprising a plate adapted at one end to be secured to the back of a bureau and having a vertically elongated opening in the other end, the plate being pressed outward opposite said opening to receive the flanges of a loop, a loop U- shaped in cross section adapted to extend through the said opening and having outwardly turned flanges at the sides adapted to be secured to a mirror frame and to extend between the frame and the outwardly pressed portion of the plate and a wedge adapted to fit within the loop and engage the outer side of the plate and extending considerably below the loop to form a rigid support for the frame.
A toilet fastener, comprising a plate adapted at one end to be secured to the back of a bureau and having a vertically elongated rectangular opening in the other end and also pressed outward at each side of said opening equal to the thickness of the flanges on the loop, a loop U-shaped in cross section and tapcred longitudinally adaptod to extend through said opening and having outwardly turned edges in the same plane adapted to be secured to a mirror frame and to extend between the frame and the outwardly pressed portion of the plate, and a wedge to fit within the loop U-shaped in cross section and having concave edges to engage the plate and extending below the loop to form a rigid support for the frame.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
