IMPROVEMENT `IN STRETCHERS FOR PAINTINGS.
Specification forming part -of Letters Patent No. 112,435, dated March '7, 18-71.
` 'Be it known that I, JAMES FAIRMAN, of New l York city, in the county and State of N ew York, 3 `have invented a new and Improved Stretcher for Paintings; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing, formy ling part of this specification.
Figure l represents a detail face view, show- 1n g one corner of a stretcher with my improve ment. Fig. 21sa detail edgeview of the miter and separating-wedge. Fig. 3 is a face view Similar letters of reference indicate 'corresponding parts.
The object of this. invention is to improve l. the construction and arrangement lof the l stretcher-frames for oil-paintings.
The sections which compose the stretchers now in use are at present jointed atl the cora ners by tenons and mortises, and can be spread by wedges, which are forced between the adjoinin g edges. The construction of the sections `with such tenons and mortises is ex- 1, pensive, and does not produce reliable articles,
` ,f as the wood is considerably weakened therey the latter deficiency, and also Y 3 reduce the expense of making the stretchers,
fby. i To obviate I employ a metallic connecting-plate, which a enters the slotted or groovedmitered 'endsof two adjoining 'sections of the frame, holding the same properly together. This isaid conprojecting rib on one face, which, entering transverse grooves, l prevents the sections from slipping apart. I
which is intermitered ends of Vsections--as,
frame, tostraddle the joining-plate and force the sections'apart.
A B in the drawing represent portions of the adjoining sections of a stretcher-frame. They are mitered, to lit together atthe corners, and have their mitered ends grooved for the reception of the joining-plate C. This plate is made of metal, of suicientlength and width, and enters the grooves of the adjoining sections, as shown.
From one face ofthe plate C projects a transverse rib,'a, entering corresponding grooves in the sections, and serving to prevent the sections from beingspread apart. Such rib may be provided, if desired, on each side ofthe plate.
D is a wedge, forked as shown in Fig. 2. It is applied between the sections A B, so as to straddle the plate C, and separates the sections to the desired extent. j
a `The' same invention-that is to say, the joining-plate G,.l1aving the rib a and the forked wedge-may be arranged between other than for example, in the middle of each side of the stretcher.
Having thus described my invention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The joining-plate C, provided with the rib a, and applied to a stretcher, substantially' as herein shown and described.
2. The forked wedge I), combined with the joining-plate (l, to straddle the same when spreading the stretcher, as specified.
JAMES FAIRMAN,
