T 0 all whom it may concern I Be it known thatl, SAMUEL A. ABRAMson', a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the countylof Essex and State of.

NewJersey, have inventednew and useful. of which Improvements in lVindowFrames, the following is a specification.

This invention relates to window pane frames, and comprehends a construction primarily designed for use to support windows in automobile tops or the like, the frame being reinforced at the corners thereof so as to afford the frame proper rigidity to maintain its shape.

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detail description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, the invention residingin the combination, construction, and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming part of this application, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views and therein:

Figure 1 is a view in elevation looking at one side of the frame.

Fig. 2 is a similar view looking at the opposite side of the frame.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 1 is a fragmentary view showing the initial arrangement of parts at one corner of the frame.

Fig. 5 is a view showing the same corner of the illustrated.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one corner of the frame.

Fig.7 is a detail inforcing element.v

Fig. 8 is a detail blocks. W

As hereinabove stated the frame forming the subject matter of my invention is particularly intended for use in connection with automobile tops, and while it is preferably constructed of wood, it may be constructed of any other suitable material and vary in configuration without departing from the spirit of the invention. As -shown 1n this particular instance, the frame is elongated in plan, and comprises opposed members 10 which are connected byend members 11, the former overlying the ends of the members 11 and secured thereto by means of dowel view of the metallic review of one of the corner Specification of Letters 1 aten .jApp licat-ion" filed.

pins ;12.as illustrated in Fig. 4. ,The respective members of the frame-are designed. to providethe ledge .13 against-which the pane (not shown) rests..- Arranged within each corner oftheframe at one side thereof is a corner block14 which assists in strength.- ening the frame at ing provided with 15 as shown. I v p For reinforcing the frame at the corners with a view of preserving the shape of the frame each corner is cut away thickness as illustrated in Fig. 5, during a curved face or surface 1 which operation a portion of the dowel pin 12 is also severed, thus providing each side andend member of the frame with a beveled edge or surface 16. Positioned in this cut away portion at each corner is a corner piece 17 whose ends are tapered to correspond to the bevel of the portions 16 against which they fit, the corner piece being of a thickness to provide for uniform dimensions over the entire area of the frame with re gard to thickness. Each corner piece has its grain arranged approximately at an angle of forty-five degrees to the grain of the side and end members of the frame, the corner pieces being arranged at the side of the frame opposite the corner blocks 14. The corner pieces 17 are provided with a pluof openings 18 which register with openings 19 in the side and end members of the frame, and also with openings 20 provided in the metallic reinforcing element 21. Each corner of the frame is kerfed as at 22 through the dowel pin 12 and the side and end members respectively, to receive the metallic reinforcing element 21, the latter and said corner pieces 17 being all secured together by means of rivets or other suitable fastening elements 23. By reason of this arrangement of parts, the frame as a unit is strongly constructed at the corners so as to afford the frame maximum strength and rigidity so as to preserve its shape.

While it is believed that-from the foregoing description the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire to have it understood that I do not limit myself to what is herein shown and described, and that such changes may be resortedto when desired as fall within the scope of what is claimed.

What I claim is:

1. A frame of the character described comprising side and end members, dowel pins i} atented S ptthis point, each; block be to reduce its 7 the ends contacting said beveled edges, said corner pieces being arranged opposite the cor- 'ner blocks, and means for holding said corner pieces in position on the frame.

2. A frame of the character described comprising side and end members, dowel pins'connecting said members at" the corners of the frame, said corners being out away'to provide opposed beveled'edges, corner pieces arranged in said cut away portion with their ends contacting the a'djacentjbeveled ed e's, each corner and dowel pin being kerfe a metallic reinforcing element positioned within said kerf, and fastening elements securing saidjcorn'er pieces and reinforcing elements associated with the frame.

3. A frame of the character described comprising side J, and end members,dowel' pins connecting said members at the; corners" thereof, the corners of the frame being cut away to provide beveled edges, corner'pieces arranged at one side of the frame with their ends contacting the adjacent beveled edges, corner blocks arranged within the-iframe, each corner and dowel pin being Vk'erfed, a

metallicreinfor'cing element POSltlOIlfidWltll in each kerf, and fastening elements holding said corner pieces and re nforcing elements associated with the frame; In testimony whereof I aflix mysignature-Q j ,sAMUE -A. ABRAMSON;
