Application filed June 1,
vThe invention relates to sign or posterboards, and its object is to provide an. improved sheet metal construction, which has provision for deflecting rain-water from the sign or poster, which can be economically produced, which will be rigid in service, s0 that it will not buckle, and lwhich is constructed so as to prevent deterioration by moisture.
The invention consists in the several novel features hereinafter set forth and more particularly defined by the claims at the conclu-k sion hereof.
In the drawing: Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a poster-board embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section showing the parts y on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section. F1gs.4.- and 4a are perspectives of the contiguous portions of a pair of the back panels. Fig. 5 is a detail of the portion of the bottom moulding of the frame, showing the Ventilating openings therein. Fig. 6 is a detail section showing the tongue and connection for contiguous parts.
The invention is exemplified in a frame comprising a top rail or moulding 7, side rails or moulding 8 and a bottom rail or moulding 9, and a back or frame consisting of panels or sections 10. The mouldings and the panels are all formed of sheet metal. The top moulding comprises a margin 11, the metal of which is doubled upon itself, as at 12, to form a reinforced edge; a forwardly projecting top wall 14; a frontwall comprising a straight portion 15, inwardly curved portions 16; and a substantially V-shaped portion 17, forming an cave for the deflection of rainwater away from the sign or poster; and a backwardly extending inner flange or ledge 18, which is adapted to receive Vthe margin of the back panels, as hereinafter set forth. Each side moulding of the frame comprises a marginal portion 19, doubled back upon itself, as at 20, to form a reinforced edge; a forwardly projecting wall 21; an inwardly extending Wall, consisting of a straight outer portion 22, curved portions 23, and a substantially V-shaped portion 24 forming` a protecting means for the paper or lithograph poster on the back panel; and a backwardly extending inner wall or ledge 25 adapted to fit around the back of the board.
The bottom moulding comprises amargin 26, which is doubled back upon itself, at 27, to form a reinforced edge; a forwardly ex tending Wall 28; a front wall, ,Consisting of a 1925. Serial No. 33,922.
straight portion29, a curvedn portion 30 and an inclined portion 31; and a backwardly extending top wall or ledge 32. Each of these mouldings is formed of a single strip of metal, is hollow and the shape given to it renders it stiff, so that it will -not be deformed. in use. The back of each moulding is open, so that the mouldings can be economically produced. The reinforced edges of the mouldings are adapted to fit against a support and to be secured thereto by nails or hooks. The contiguous ends of themouldings are suitably secured together by welding or otherwise to form a rigid quadrilateral frame. To reinforce the edges of the mouldings, which fit the panels of the back, the backwardly ex tending wall 18 of the top moulding, the bacliwardly extending w'all 25 of each of the side mouldings and the backwardly extending wall 32 of the bottom moulding are each formed with an outwardly extendin portion 33, having a forwardly extending ange 34. This formation renders the `mouldings rigid without a continuous back wallbetween their inner land 'outer margins. The V-shaped portion 17 of the top moulding serves to defleet rain-water away from the poster paper, which would otherwise soil the lithograph on the framed panel. It also protects the top margin of the poster against water which would loosen it. The V-shaped portions 241' on the side mouldings serve to protect the side edges of the paper or lithograph poster on the panel. a
In practice, it has been found that moisture or water becomes trapped in back of the frame, which causes the deterioration of the metal. To overcome this, the wall 28 of tho bottom rail and the walls 21 0f the side rails are formed with holes 35. The holes in the bottom rail permit any water, which passes in back of the panel and frame, to escape, and the holes in the side frames admit air to the channels in the mouldings, to ventilate and cause them to dry. This also prevents the swelling of the supporting wall, to which the poster board is usually secured.
The back, on which the poster, lithograph or sign is usually pasted, is composed of sheet metal panels in any desired number, according to the size of the board. Each of these panels comprises a front wall 37, a backwardly extending wall 38, extending around all of its edges and adapted to fit the contiguous Walls 17, 25 and 32 of the frame mouldings, T0 reinforce the .margin and.
