ANTHONY GREENWOOD, OF NORTH TROY, VERMONT.
IMPROVEMENT IN PICTURE-FRAMES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 195,600, dated September 25, 1877; application filed February 3, 1877.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ANTHONY GREENWOOD, of North Troy, in the county of Orleans and State of Vermont, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Picture-Frames and Looking-Glasses; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being bad to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
The figure of the drawing is a representation of a front view of my picture-frame.
This invention relates to that class of pieture-frames which are adapted to hold a considerable number of photographs or the like; and the nature of said invention consists, mainly, in the combination, with said frames, of a revolving frame ortframes, each one of which is adapted to hold a pictlire on each side, substantially as and for the purpose hereinafter set forth.
In the accompanying drawing, A designotes a square or nearly square inner frame, which is pivoted at a a to the sides of similarlyshaped fixed frame B. Said pivoted frame A is provided with a loose vertical partition, A, which may be either of cardboard or any other suitable material; and on one side it has a fixed metal oval or circle, A and on the other one or more cross bars, A Said frame A may be provided with a picture or pictures on each face or side, or with a picture or pictures on one side, and an oval mirror on the other.
C designates four corner-pieces, each of which consists of a large inner square plate, 0 and a smaller outer square, 0 arranged corner to corner and made in one piece. Inner squares O are attached, each by one corner, to the corners of inner fixed frame B, and incline upward and outward therefrom. They are also bent, so that each of them presents (the picture-frame being laid on its back) a middle diagonal groove or depressed line, and two triangular sides inclining upward therefrom. Outer squares O are inclined outward and downward, and bent so as to present a middle ridge and two opposite triangular sides inclining downwardly therefrom.
The raised sides or edges of the square plates or pieces 0 are connected by moldings D, which are triangular in cross-section, and each one of which is parallel to one of the sides of fixed frame B. In the space between each one of said moldings and said frame B is a small frame, E, provided with a longitudinal rod or shaft, E, which is journaled in flanges c 0 attached to or formed on the opposite sides of said square plates or pieces 0 Said pivoted or journaled frames E are four in number, and each one of them is adapted to hold a series of small pictures on each side of its rod E. Either series may be turned outward at will.
F designates four strips of metal, which are triangular in cross-section, and which con-, meet the edges of said square outer cornerpieces 0 Between each one of said strips F and the molding D, which is nearest thereto, is a long fixed frame, G, having cross-bars g, and adapted to hold a number of small pictures.
Any suitable material or materials may be used in constructing the above-described picture-frame, and the same may be ornamented in any suitable manner.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination of corner-pieces O with fixed frame B, moldings D, outer strips F, and picture-frames in the spaces between said parts, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination of corner-pieces O, fixed inner frame B, moldings D, and pivoted frames E, each of which is adapted to hold a series of pictures in each of its faces or sides, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
ANTHONY GREENWOOD.
