FRAME FOR MIRRORS, PICTURES, "AND THE LIKE" Application filed March 6, 1930. Serial No. 433,564.
r The object of this invention is to provide a frame which can be readily opened for the insertion or replacement of the elements which it is to hold and display, and in which, is whenv closed, the means for fastening are in part utilized for the support of the frame from a base. A further object is to provide a frame which is double facing and which may be set at any desired angle with respect 10 to the base. I
In the accompanying sheet of drawings which forms a part of this description,
'F'igure 1 is an elevation of a frame and base which embodies this invention,
Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the frame and base on the line'IL-II ofFig. 1, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of theframe and base,
Fig. 4.- is a perspective'view of the meeting ends of the upper horizontal run ofthe frame, Fig. 5 is a perspective vie-w of the meeting ends of the lower horizontal'run of the frame. F The frame consists of two channels 10, 11, each of which includes in one piece, part of the upper horizontal run, one of the vertical runs, and part of the lowershorizontal run. As shown, the runs meet at right angles, but it is not essential thatthey should make sharp corners. The two parts of the upper run are connected by a catch consistingof a leaf 12 with a'pin 13. The leaf is attached to one part of the run within the channel an'd'pro- V j jects into the channel of the other .part of the 35 run and the pin engages a hole in this part of the run. The leaf is preferably sufficiently elastic so that disengagement may be effected by pushing down'on the pin and thereby flexing the leaf, or if the leaf is too stiff to flex the disengagement may be effected by. relative displacement vertically-pf the two parts 7 of the horizontal run. But disengagement in:
. upper gether and inserted. in a fork 15 and secured of the lower horizontal run,
in the fork by a screw fork has a downwardly projecting swivel pin 17 which sets in a base 18. In the base is a snap button 19 which engages the end of the swivel pin.
In order that the joints in the frame may be concealed as viewed from either face, strap pieces 20, 20 are added tothe sides over the joints. -Each strap piece is made a perma nent part of one of the parts of the frame, as-
by soldering, but not of the other part.
As illustrated, the frame is shown as con taining on one sidea plane mirror 21, or this may denote a picture or other'matter to be displayed and on the other side a concave mirror 22. As the concave mirror is circular and theframe is rectangular the intervening is not limited to this use of holding mirrors. To separate the parts of the frame for insertion or replacement, the screw hinge pin is first taken out and the hinge eyes removed from the fork. This releasesthe two parts of the lower horizontal run from each other. The two parts'of the upper horizontal run can then readily be disconnected, either by pushing downon the engaging pin or by relative vertical displacement of the two partsof the frame sufficiently tov disengage the pin from the hole. separated horizontally.
Iclaim, j 1. A frame consi ting of two channels each ofwhichincludes in one piece part of the upper horizontal run one of the vertical runs and part of the lower horizontal run, a catch for joining the channels in the upper horizon tal run, a downwardly projecting hingeeye from each channel in'the lower horizontal run,
frameat anydesired angle with respect to the base. I 7
Q 2. A double-facing frame consisting of two channels each of which includes in one piece part of the upper horizontal run one of the vertical runs and part of the lower horizontal run, a catch for joiningthe channels in hinge-pin 1c. The
space is occupied by'a mat 23. However. it
The parts arethen p a base, a fork carried by the base, and I "means for joining'the hinge eyes to the fork this y or separation of the parts of to secure them together and hold the picture horizontal run cannot be effected untilthe parts of the lower horizontal run are also the upper horizontal run, a downwardly projecting hinge eye from each channel in the lower horizontal F1111, a base, a fork carried. by the base, and means for joining the hinge 7 eyes to the fork to secure them together and i hold the picture frame at any desired angle with respectto the base. 1
