PICTURE FRAMING.
Application led December 5, 1922.
Ta all wlw-m t may concern:
Be it known that I, ALoNzo W. Bastionrrook, a citizen of the United States, residing at Midland, in the county of Midland and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Picture Framing, of which the following Yis a specification.
My invention relates to a method of framing pictures` using the picture itseltl as the back 0f the frame.
, Une object of the invention is to provide means for framing pictures and at the same time attaching them to the Wall. For this purpose the frames are made up of strips of suiiiciently stiff material to keep the picture in flat condition when the strips are secured along the'edges thereof and to permit thestrips to extend beyond the edges ofgthe picture1 in` this manner furnishin a securing device for pasting it on a Wal Another object 'of the` invention is to I, mount the piture-onlnarrow strips in order tokeep it in a flattenedcondition Without secifiringV it onlthe vvall. Strips of the same character are also' utilized forethis purpose, pasted along the edges of therpieture.
Vthe accompanying drawing the inventien is illustrated; arid Figure l'shovvjs a front elevation of the preferred construction of the frame as applied ,toa picture;
nlfl`igure Qyisafvertical section along line i of Figure l, and
Figures 3, 4 and 5 are vie-ws similar to Figure 4l, but illustrating slightly :modified forms of the invention.
The picture frame is made up of four narrow strips 10 and 13 of fairly stiff material, such as cardboard, with the hack face provided with some adhesive substance such as glue. Each strip is cut off in accordance with the width or length of the picture, so as to extend beyond the edges thereof, as at 11. The picture 12 is first laid out tit on a board and held in this position While applying the side strips 13, which are moistened to partly dissolve the glue on the back thereof. The side strips 13 are then laid along the side edges of the picture so that they coincide therewith, that is to say, the picture Will be covered an amount equal to the Width of the strips. Similarly, the top and bottom strips 10 are aid along the corresponding edges, as bes*I seen in Figure 1 Serial No. 605,126.
of the drawings, permitting the ends 11 to project beyond the side edges ot the picture and strips 13. The picture now actually forms the back of the frame andthe latter, together with the picture,` may now be aty tached to a Wallby'moistening the ends 1l of the strips and pressing thelatteragainst the Wall, when the picture will be lrmly held thereon. p
In Figure 3 a frame of similar character is indicated, in which however the top and bottom strips 14are ofthe same," length vas the top and bottom edges' of the picture 15, and the side strips 16 of the same length as the side edges thereof. In thiscase, there will be not projecting ends beyond the edges of the picturev and this arrangement is ac'- cordingly used for pictures thatare not intended te be mounted on a vvalh A I i In th'econstruction of the frames described in connection with `Figures 1, 2 andf3`,`it will be observed that thertoppand bottoni strips 10 and 14 respectively, are laid with their ends upon the side strips, so that ltlie Ntop and bottom strips at the' cornersf'ivill be raised their own thickness lahovejtheside strips 13 andl.
lnV Figure 4 is shown a frame which has smooth earners, `and forthisf reasointlie top and b Qttm Vstrips 17 fare SlghtlyshOrt'er than the length'of'the topalid bottom yedges of tie 'picture 18, or, asa'matter ofi'fa'ct, the exact amount, by-whichthetop' and ,lieti tom stri ys are sl'iortened,:istheY sanfeqas the width ci) the strips. Thes'idestrips 1Q on the other hand, are the exactlength ot/the sides of the picture, so that when alhthe strips are applied, the ends of the top and bottom strips 17. will abut against the inner sides of the side strips 19,' as shown in Figure 4.
With reference to the construction ot the frame illustrated in Figure 5, it will be observed that the strips are cut ofi' slantingly at the corners, so that the joint between the top and bottom strips 20, with the side strips 21 will run diagonal] Similarly to the construction shown in igure 4, the corners Will thus be smooth.
The frames shown in Figures 3, and 3 are best suited fori mounting pictures for storing, either loosely or in albums, while the frame illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 is more suitable for use in mounting pictures on the wall.
. Instead of .providing These frames provide a cheap and easy manner of mounting pictures which, although done in a very short` time, gites an artistic finish to the pictures. F or ordinary sized pictures, such as the front covers of magazines, it has been found. that cardboard, White or colored, of about threeeighths of an inch to one and a half inches in width is suitable when cut to the right len th, according to the size of the picture` an it is evident that fordifferent pictures, different colored strips may be selected, the color of the background being also considered in the selection of the strips. mitation Walnut, mahogany or other woods could be used and at times Wood veneer, either White or colored might be preferableto cardboard.
A roll of cloth-like adhesive tape or zinc oxide plaster might at times beused as another possibility and a colored picture, framed with, say one quarter 'inch Wide zinc oxide plaster on a mediumlight background, will show the picture to good effect.
A device of this kind would be sure to become very popular with college students, who often decorate the Walls of their rooms with cuts from artistic magazines and the like. A Y
It is` evident that the framing ilndicated Figures 3, A and 5 may also be used'for mounting pictures on wallsin'whi ch case tlur'nb `tacks or string,A would bemsuitablefor hanging the pictures; `l j; .y the' frame material' in strips, as. `has,ben,.ide$1libdf .OVQsi may be possible to use cardboadrcat oppio, forma-.complete sfuare 9x reetanaatgrsflzepw for armature. aorta-the seme .ratas abomdesmbed manner .9p..-t.1e..ffraa1i site ofthe .picture la thismsenther mrena than cardboard-.might he. usadosshzasl. flew paper, Wood 11611291759F,'}1l1t}l-an...m rsa... .im

In this manner the backing is framed, as described above, with reference to Figs. l and 2 which may also represent this modification. Reference numeral 12, F ig. 2, then represents the heavy backing and the picture pasted together. This backing being preferably larger than the picture itself, is cut to ,size after the pasting on of the picture, Where,- upon the strips l0 and 13 are-secured along the edges, While the projecting ends `11 again serve as suspension means for the framed picture.
Instead of supplying the framing strips in rolls, they may also be supplied as fiat strips cut to certain standard lengths and marketed in bundles of 25 ,to 100 in each; This is particularly advantageous in the case of strips of fairly stiff material such as cardboard, veneer, and the like. i i
