2 Claims. (01- 24-73) My invention relates to holding device for moldings such as are used as ornamental trims in architectural, industrial'and home decorations, and the present invention relates more particu- 5 larly to holding means whereby the moldings may be quickly and reliably attached to various supporting structures, such, for instance, as walls,
counters, furniture, store fixtures, automobiles, cabinets, etc., without driving nails through the 10 moldings and thereby disfiguring their exp sed surfaces which are usually highly polished. The moldings usually comprise strips of stainless steel, chromium, brass, bronze, copper, P tics or other suitable materialsand said moldings may be of various cross sectional conflgura tions with flanges along their longitudinal margins for engagement with the holding means to secure the moldings firmly but removably in applied position. I The holding means consist of devices made of resilient material'such, for instance, as lengths of wire of suitablegage bent into suitable forms so that the devices may-be secured in place with appropriate fastening means such as nails or screws which together with said devices are concealed by the molding strips when the same are in applied. position. In order that the invention may be fully understood, reference will now be had to the accompanying drawing, in which:
secured to a wall with a broken portion of a molding strip applied to one of the devices.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged front elevation of one of the holding devices shown by'Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 shows an end elevation of one of the holding devices secured to the wall and a'molding strip in cross the device.
body portion of-the strips for engagement with the holding d8? vices indicated generally by the numeral 2. when 'l applied-to a supporting structure such as-the section and being applied to.
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3' with the right angle cross section with confronting flanges B and C, along the longitudinal margins of the Fig. 1 shows a plurality of the holding devices coming accidently disengaged from the holdin wall D, Fig. 1,. the devices 2 are arranged with their upper portions 3 in horizontal alinement and each device is preferably secured to the wall with a nail or screw E.
My preferred form of holding device consists 5 of a length of resilient wire bent at its upper portion. into a loop l of triangular shape and terminating at its lower portion in the form of a pair or downwardly diverging arms 6, the upper portions of, which are crossed and bent 'to pro- 10 vide an, opening 8 to receive a nail or screw E whereby the device may be firmly secured-to the wall. The lower free ends of the arms 6 are bent upwardly as indicated at IU so that the molding strips A may be slid longitudinally upon 16 or of! of the holding devices 2 without the ends of the strips impinging against the te'rminals'12 of the arms. However, each strip A is preferably applied to the holding devices 2 by engaging the flange B with the underside of the bent portions I0 01. the
that the flange C may be easily engaged over the upper portion 3 of the holding devices without expanding the strip A as is necessary when it is applied to holding means such, for instance, as a track 'secu'redtothe wall. After the flange C has been engaged over the upper portion 3 of I the holding devices the arms 6 spring downward towardstheir normal position. During the fore-' going operations thefianges B and C are forced between the rear surface of the holding devices 2 and the front surface of the wall and thus cooperate'with the devices in firmly holding the strip A in applied position, although it may be manually removed by sliding the strip longitudinallyofl of the devices, or by pushing the strip upward and disengaging the flange C from the devices and then lowering the strip to disengage the fiangeB.
t The holding devices 2 secure the molding strips A so firmly that said-strips may be arranged vertically, or at'any desiredinclination as well as in a horizontal position as shown, without bedevices. g
The modified form of holding device 2:: disclosed by Fig. 6 comprises a length of resilient wire bent. somewhat in" the form of an ellipse having an archediu' per portion-8a bent downward at its ends lin a pair ll of arms Gawhich extend towards each other and have their lower portions bent upwardly as indicated at lfla, so that their ends lZa, which are spaced a short distance apart will not be in the way when a molding strip is being slid longitudinally upon or off of the holding devices,- or the strip may be applied in the same way as when applied to the devices 2. This form of holding device may be secured to a supporting structure with two nails place'd just-inside the ends 15 of the device so that when the nails are driven into the supporting structure their heads will overlap the portion 3a and arms Ba andthusfirmly hold the device in place;
The modified form of holding device 2b shown by Fig. 7 is'similar to the form disclosed by Fig. 6, as is evident by like reference numerals with exponents b, with the exception that the ends are formed into coils IE to provide openings 8b through which nails may be driven into the supporting structure.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawing it is evident that I have provided holding devices which are well adapted for the purpose intended, and while I have shown and described several forms of holding devices I reserve all rights to such other forms and modifications thereof as properly fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
Having thus described by invention, what I claim and desire-to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A holding device of the character described formed from a length 01' resilient material and comprising a looped portion and a pair .of arms integral with the ends of said looped portion and which diverge towards their free ends, the adjacent portions of said arms being crossed and bent to provide an aperture.
A holding device of the character describedcomprising a looped portion and apair of arms integral with the ends of said looped portion and having their free ends bent in reverse directions to each other, the adjacent portions of said arms being crossed and bent to provide an aperture,
and fastening means adapted to extend through said aperture and secure the holding device to a supporting structure.
