stereoscopic Picture Holder. No. 65,870, Patentedluly 20,1875.
NJETERS. PHOYlxuTmGMPMER, WASHINGTON. D c.
NITED 'rares JAMES D. RICE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
Specilication forming part of Letters Patent No.
165,870, dated July 20, 1875; application filed May 31, 1815.
To all whom it may concern v Be it known that I, JAMES D. RICE, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stereoscopic-Picture Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective ot' the invention; Fig. 2, modilication ot' the invention; Fig.3, a longitudinal vertical section.
The object of iny invention is to provide means for readily bringing into view in a stereoscope pictures on both sides of the cards without the necessity ot' removing said cards from the frame or holder in which they are sustained. y
My invention consists in the provision of a card frame or supporter, so arranged that it may be rotated or turned in order to bring both sides ot' the card into view through the stereoscopic glasses, said fra-me being made to rotate either on a horizontal `or vertical axis.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, A shows an ordinary stereoscope, having a rear extension, a, on which the card support or holder slides. B represents the card supporter or holder, arranged in any suitable manner, so that it may be turned around to expose l to view through the glasses tirst one side of a card and then the other, thus dispensing with the necessity ot lifting said card out of its frame and reversing it with the fingers before returning it to position to gaze upon a picture imprinted on the other side.
a pivotal pin, C, passing through the bar D, which forms the base ot' the holder and into the slide E, allowing the holder to be turned on its vertical axis; or a supplementary frame, F, having` bearings at f f, and rotating on a horizontal axis, may be substitutedl instead; or both forms, which I regard as equivalent, may be employed at once, thus providing a holder adapted to reversible cards having pictures on both sides, with their tops at the same edge of the card, and also to reversible cards, the pictures on the opposite 'sides of which have their tops at different edges.
Vhat I claim as my invention is- A pivoted stereoscopic-picture holder, reversible upon its axis, to expose the opposite sides, respectively, ot' the card to the same point ot' View, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 25th day of May, 1875.
JAMES D. RICE.
