Flood, Framingham, Mass., assignor to Dennison Manufacturing Company, Framingham, Mass., a corporation of Massachusetts Original application March 12, 1954, Serial No. 415,909,
now Patent No. 2,791,948, dated May 14, 1957. Divided aud this application July 8, 1955, Serial No. 520,701
3 Claims. (Cl. 40-158) This invention relates to corner mounts adapted to be secured to a surface, usually by gumming on their backs, the mounts having triangular pockets to receive the corners of photographs and the like.
Objects of the invention are to provide an improved strip of corner mounts which can be manufactured easily and economically and which is convenient and practical 1n use.
The invention involves a strip of corner mounts comprising a backing strip having a connecting zone extending lengthwise of the strip and having one side margin notched to form V-shaped teeth whose edges form substantially right angles, with pockets secured to the front of the teeth respectively, each pocket consisting of a piece of ribbon having its central portion extending lengthwise of the backing strip across one tooth with its end portions folded along said edges between the central portion and the tooth and thence crosswise of the strip. Preferably the backing strip has weakened lines extending crosswise of the strip from the bottoms of the aforesaid notches to facilitate separation of the corner mounts from the strip. In the preferred embodiment the aforesaid connecting zone extends along a straight path lengthwise of the strip, in contradistinction to a zig-zag path or a path curving back and forth.
For the purpose of illustration typical embodiments of the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 illustrates the use of the corner mounts;
Fig. 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a plan view of a strip of corner mounts illustrating one method of manufacture;
Fig. 4 is a similar view illustrating a modified method of manufacture; and.
Fig. 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Fig. 4.
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the mounts may be used to attach a photograph P to a sheet S. Each mount comprises a backing 1 of paper or the like and, cemented to the front of the backing, a pocket 2 which is preferably formed of cellophane or other transparent material. As shown in Fig. 3 each pocket is formed of a length of ribbon 2 having its central portion extending across the outer corner of the backing 1 and its end portions 3 folded under the central portion. The rear face of the backing 1 is usually gummed for convenient attachment to a sheet such as shown at S and the inner corner of the mount may be folded outwardly as shown in Fig. 2 so as to be attached to the photograph P in similar manner. To facilitate the folding of the inner corner, at the fold line the 'Patented Mar. 4, 1958 backing may be provided with a cut such as shown at 4 in Fig. 3 or a score line such as shown at 6 in Fig. 4.
Before the ribbon 2 is attached to the backing 1 the ribbon is folded back and forth and held in folded position until the backing is applied. Also the backing strip is preferably cut to shape before it is attached to the ribbon material. As shown in Fig. 3 the backing strip has a row of teeth along each margin, the teeth on one margin being staggered with relation to the teeth on the other margin, and betwen the bases of adjacent teeth are U-shaped notches 7. As shown in Fig. 3 the distance between succeeding notches is approximately equal to twice the width of the ribbon 2 and in folding the ribbon the central portions 2 of succeeding mounts are spaced apart a distance equal to the width of a notch. After the folded ribbon and backing have been secured together the mounts are cut apart along the zig-zag line 8.
In the modification shown in Fig. 4 the notches 7 are replaced by weakened lines 9 which may comprise perforations or score lines, and in folding the ribbon back and forth no space is left between the ends 3 of the ribbon, and instead of cutting the strip along a zig-zag line it is cut along a wavy line 11. By substituting the weakened lines 9 for the notches 7 the mounts of each marginal row remain connected together when the strip is severed down the middle. Thus the mounts may be distributed in strips or rows to be torn apart at the time of use.
It will be understood that the wavy cut 11 may be substitute for the Zig-zag cut 8 in the first embodiment and in the modification the zig-zag cut of Fig. 3 may be substituted for the wavy cut of Fig. 4.
A machine for making the aforesaid strips is described and claimed in my copending application Ser. No. 415,909, tiled March 12, 1954, from which Patent #2,791,948 issued on May 14, 1957 and of which this is a division.
It should be understood that the present disclosure is for the purpose of illustration only and that this invention includes all modifications and equivalents which fall Within the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. A strip of corner mounts comprising a backing strip having a connecting zone extending along a straight path lengthwise of the strip to interconnect the mounts and on one side thereof a margin notched to form V-shaped teeth Whose edges form substantially right angles, pockets secured to the front of the backing strip, each pocket consisting of a piece of ribbon having its central portion extending lengthwise of the backing strip across one tooth with its end portions folded along said edges between the central portion and the backing strip and thence extending crosswise of the strip, the pockets being disposed wholly in front of the backing strip and the rear face of the backing strip being exposed throughout its entire area for adhesive attachment, the backing strip having weakened lines extending lengthwise of the strip near the inner ends of the mounts respectively to facilitate folding said inner ends upon themselves.
2. A corner mount comprising a backing, one end of which is V-shaped with its edges disposed substantially at right angles to each other, secured to the front of the backing a pocket consisting of a piece of ribbon having its central portion extending crosswise of said end of the 3. backing with its end portions folded between the central portion and the backing and thence extending lengthwise of the backing, the pocket being disposed wholly in front of the backing and the rear face of the backing being exposed throughout its entire area for adhesive attachment, 5 the other end of the backing being tapered and having a weakened line extending thereacross to facilitate folding the end on itself.
3. A `corner mount according to claim 1 further characterized in that the ribbon is also weakened along said 10 line.
