PICTURE FRAME.

W5 1 m X HARRY VTATTS, OF FLEET, ENGLAND.
PICTURE-FRAME.
Lil-57,9115.
Application filed August 25, 1913.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HARRY VVATTS, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, and residing at Fleet, in the county of Plants, England, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Picture-Frames, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to picture frames adapted to be used also as show cards for advertising or other matter; and consists in an integral frame of card board or similar stiff material comprising a middle panel and side parts extending outward therefrom, said parts being adapted to be set up to present a continuous frame molding and some of the sides being provided with tongues adapted to be bent behind the proximate ends of the other side parts, overlapping the latter and being secured thereto.
According to this invention. the frame surrounding the central panel is formed by cutting in each corner of a blank an inclined opening irregular in shape so that projections are provided, and theneach side of the blank is bent and folded intothe desired molding of the frame. During this operation of bending the sides of the blank the edges of the said openings are brought together and secured by attaching the said projections to the sides adjacent thereto.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is illustrative of a blank from which the show-card or the like is formed; Fig. 2 is a section of the molded card and Fig. 3 a plan of the underside of one corner of the molded card.
In the manufacture of a show-card according to this invention the first operation consists in cutting a blank 1, rectangular in form and in each corner of which is cut at an angle an opening 2, having the opposite edges thereof formed with projections 3, and recesses 4, as shown in Fig. 1. Simultaneously with the cutting of the blank the latter may be formed along each side with a series of parallel creases or indentations 5, according to the design of the border desired. The blank thus cut and creased is now bent and folded by means of a suitable machine along the creased lines, which fa- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented (lot. 26, 1915.
Serial No. 786,478.
cilitate bending but are not essential, thus forming along each side of the blank an upstanding molding G, as shown in Fig. 2, which presents the appearance of a picture frame. During this second operation the edges of the openings 2, cut in the corners of the blank are brought together in such a manner that the projections 3 thereon come behind the rear face of the molding as shown in Fig. 3 where the said projections are finally secured with an adhesive.
The molding thus formed may be embossed or otherwise-decorated, as for eX- ample, by being colored or by being covered with any material which may be desired. The back of the shou card may also be covered with a piece of cardboard or like material.
. Upon the central panel is printed the advertising or other matter to be displayed, or the panel may be employed as a mount for a photograph; the complete device presenting the appearance of a framed card or photograph. The card may be produced to represent a framed post-card, or as a frame for mounting a postcard. It will also be obvious that the central panel may, if desired, be formed with an opening. After all the sides of the blank have been molded the molding may be embossed or otherwise decorated.
I claim:
A picture-frame composed of a single piece of stiff material comprising a central panel which is quadrilateral in form and four side parts extending outward. from the sides of said panel, two opposite side parts being provided at their ends with tongues, the proximate ends of the other side parts being inclined and without tongues or recesses, the four side parts being adapted to be set up in contact as a picture-frame ready for use and formed to represent a picture-frame molding, and the said tongues being adapted to be bent behind and secured to the proximate ends of the other sides.
