1 Claim.
My invention relates to improvements in easels, the primary object in 'view being to provide a simply constructed, collapsible support for holding screens and the like in elevated position and at selected levels for painting, and which is specially equipped for holding a paint bucket within convenient reach-and in a manner such that the bucket cannot be easily upset.
Another object is to provide a device of the character above. set forth which is strong, while at thesame time light in weight and therefore easy to handle, and is inexpensive to manufacture.
Other and subordinate objects are also comprehended by myinvention, all of which, together with the precise nature of my improvements, will be readily understood when the succeeding dewardly, the front section II being swingably scription and claim are read with reference to the drawings accompanying and forming part of this specification.
In said drawings:
Figure l is a view in perspectiveof my im-- proved easel in a preferred embodiment thereof, Figure 2 is a View in side elevation showing the easel collapsed, or folded,
Figure 3 is a view in horizontal sectiontaken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Reference being had to the drawings by numerals, and to the easel as illustrated, said easel comprises a pair of elongated, rectangular front and rear frames I, 2, each comprising a pair of parallel upright bars 3 in the case of the front frame I and 4 in'the'case of the rear frame 2. The frames l, 2 are swingably connected together at the upper ends thereof for folding and unfolding, with the upper ends of the bars 3 of the front I frame I between the corresponding ends of the side bars 4 of the rear frame 2, and by means of a cross rod 5 suitably extended through said' upper ends of said bars 3 and fixed in the upper ends of said bars 4. Cotter pins, as at 6, extended through the rod 5 prevent the upper ends of the side bars 3 from creeping. inwardly along the cross rod 5. At a suitable distance from the lower ends of the side bars 3, a cross rod 1 connects said bars 3 together. A cross rod 8 similarly connects the side bars 4. A pair of diagonal crossed mounted on the cross rod 1 between confining cotter pins, as at I4, and extending forwardly of said rod, and the rear section 12 being swingably mounted on the rod 8 between confining cotter pins IS. A bolt l6 and keeper I! on said sections ll, l2 provide for locking the described brace in straightened out position to maintain-the frames l 2 unfolded inspread-apart relation.
An annular flat support l8 for a paint bucket is suitably secured, as at I9, on top of the section II and a cross bar 20 forming part of said section and in front of the cross rod 1. I
The side bars 3 of the front frame I are provided, above the support l8 with longitudinal openings 2| in the front edge thereof to receive nails, not shown, for supporting a screen, not shown, or similar article, thereon in elevated position for painting.
As will be readily understood, the described easel is unfolded for use by swinging the front and rear frames l, 2 about the axis of the cross rod 5 into spread-apart relation, straightening out the elbow locking brace by swinging the sections ll, 12 upwardly into aligned relation and locking the same in such relation by means of the bolt l6 and keeper ll. In the locked condition of the locking brace, the support I8 is maintained in a horizontal position to seat a paint bucket, not shown, thereon for convenient access thereto in painting screens or the like mounted on the bars 3 in the manneralready described. To fold or collapse the easel, it is merely necessary to unlock the bolt l6 and break the locking brace in a manner which will be understood so that the frames I, Lmay'be swung into a common plane, substantially. In this operation the support I8 is swung by the section I l into substantially the same plane as the frames I, 2 so that the easel is compactly folded or collapsed for storage or carrying.
The foregoing will, it is believed, suffice to impart a clear understanding of my invention without further explanation.
Manifestly, the invention, as described, is susceptible of modification without departing from the inventive concept, and right is herein reserved to such modifications as fall within the scope of the appended claim.
What I claim is:
An easel for use in painting screens and the like comprising a pair of elongated frames having upper ends pivotally connected together for swinging of the frames into and from downward- 1y divergent relation, each frame comprising a a support for a paint bucket, said sections aligning in butt joint relation when swung outwardly to prevent the same from being swung upwardly out of aligned relation, and latching devices on said sections for retaining the same in aligned relation against breaking downwardly.
GEORGE C. KLICK.
