ISIDORE STARR, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
REVOLVING-PICTURE FRAME.
Application filed March 29, 1922. Serial No. 547,722.
lowing is a full, clear, and exact descrip-.
tion.
This invention relates to improvements in picture frames, an object of the inven."
tion beingto provide a frame open at both sides to expose two picturesv and mounted for turning movement to expose either of the pictures.
The invention further contemplates the provision of a distinctly novel form of base upon which any conventional type of frame may be mounted for rotation.
-A. further object is to provide a device of this character which will be neat and attractive in appearance, simple and prac tical in construction, serviceable in use, and which will lend itself to economical manu-' facture.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements' of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a View in front elevation of my improved frame and support; and
- Figure 2 is a view in longitudinal section therethrough. r
Referring in detail to the drawings, I have used the reference numeral 1 to designate a base preferably formed of metal or some other material sufficiently heavy to counterbalance the weight of a picture frame which may be supported thereby. A circularplate 2 is provided with an annular depending flange 3 fitting within an annular groove 4 in the upper face of the base 1. Grooves 5 and 6 in the under face of the plate. and the upper face of the base respectively cooperate to form a ball race wherein ball bearings 7 are located, said bearings providing rotary mounting for the plate2 upon the base 1.
A pocket or recess 8 is provided in the under face of the base 1 and a central de pending stud 9 carried by the plate 2 extends through an opening 10 in the base and into the pocket 8. Locking nuts 11 are screwed onto the lower threaded end of the stud 9 and serve to hold in place a bearing cone 12 supporting ball bearings 13 which ride in a grove 14 in the recessed portion of the base. By virtue of the construction above described theplate 2 and its associated cone 11 have a double anti-friction connection to facilitate the rotation of the plate upon the base.
A diametrically extending sleeve 15 is carried by and preferablyintegral with the plater2.' A pintle 16 extends through the sleeve. A pair of substantially U shaped brackets 17 are formed with bearing sleeves 18 at their lower intermediate portions, these sleeves being accommodated in openings 19 in the main sleeve 15 and receiving the pintle, whereby to provide partial pivotal mounting of the brackets on the pintle. The upstanding arms of the brackets 17 are adapted to receive and embrace the lower side of a picture frame, designated by the reference numeral 20, and the pivotalv movement of the brackets is limited in each direction by angular shoulders 21 integral therewith and engageable with the upper face of the base plate as the brackets are pivoted.
It will of course be apparent that the construction above described is suitable for sup porting any conventional type of picture frame, but I prefer to use a special kind of frame with the rotary base so that two pictures may be conveniently displayed and the brackets may be tilted in either direction to incline the frame for the better'exposition of either picture. The frame 20 further includes four channeled sides, and a portion v2 1 of the upper frame section is pivoted, as
indicated at 21, the free end of said pivoted section being normally locked by a spring catch 22 and-a stud 23 fixed to the outer face of the frame. The section24 may be swung upwardly, as indicated in dotted lines in Figure 1, to permit the insertion of a pair of glassplates 25 into the frame, between which a plcture or pictures 26 may be inserted for exposition through either side of the frame. either direction upon the brackets, as indicated in dotted lines in Figure 2 to better expose-either of the pictures, or either side of the picture in' the frame.
, With particular'reference to Figure 1 of the drawings, it is to be noted that by making only a portion of the upper side of the The frame may be tilted in.
frame in the form of a hinged section, a
strengthening cross bar 27 is provided hich prevents the accidental bending or distorting of theframe while the glass plates and the pictures are being inserted therein.
Although I have illustrated one of the preferred embodiments of my invention, it will be obvious that numerous slight changes and alterations might be made in the general form and arrangement of the parts described without departing from the invention, and hence I do not wish to limit myself to the precise details set forth, but shall consider myself at liberty to make such slight changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
I claim: 1. Thecombination with a picture frame including transparent picture exposing pantions, said means comprising a base having a stationary section and a superposed rotary se'ction and a the lower end of the frame and the rotary section, and stop elements formed on the 'hinged connection and engageable With the base for limiting the swinging movement of the frame in opposite directions'whereby to support the same at opposite inclinations.
3. ture frame including front and rear transparent picture exposing faces, and means forsupporting the frame at its lower end for rotation and limited horizontal rocking movement to dispose the same at opposite inclinations when rotated.
4. In a device of the character described,
mounted to rotate on the a base, a plate frame carried by the plate,
base, a picture hinged connection between As a new article of manufacture, a picsaid frame mounted for limited pivotal movement 'on the base, and including two transparent picture exposing faces.
5. The combination with a supporting base, of a pair of substantially U shaped brackets pivoted on the base and adapted to support a picture frame, and shoulders-on the brackets engageable with the base to limit the pivotal movement-of the brackets and support the frame in inclined'position.
