PlCTURE-FRAM E ATTACHMENT.
srncrr'icA-rron forming part of Letters Patent No. 354,315, dated December 14., 1886.
Application filed May 7, 1886. Serial No. 201,432.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, MAHLoN A. GERBER and EDWARD J. NICHOLAS, of Lost Creek, in the county of Schuylkill and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Picture-Frame Attachments, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming a part thereof, in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pictureframe with our improvement applied. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a modified form of the wire end.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspending parts in both figures of the drawings.
The object of our invention is to provide a simple and efficient device for suspending picture-frames and mirrors to support them at a fixed angle with reference to the surface against which they are suspended.
Our invention consists of a wire bent into a spiral loop in the middle of its length, and provided with elongated hooks at its ends for engaging screw-eyes inserted in the back of the frame, and in the combination therewith of one or more adjustable braces connected with the loop in the center of the wire and extending to the back of the frame to preserve a fixed angle between the frame and the suspension device.
The wire A,by which the frame issuspended, is bent into a spiral loop, B, of one turn in the middle of its length, and the ends of the wire are bent to form hooks a, which are received in the eyes I), projecting from the back of the picture-frame. An eye, 0, formed on the end of the wire 0, is received on the loop B, and is provided at its free end with a slide, (1, having aset-screw, e, inserted in one side thereof.
In the aperture of the slide (2 is received a wire, D, having a loop, f, formed on the end thereof, and bent at right angles to the straight (No model.)
portion of the wire, and encircling the wire 0 between the eye 0 and the slide (2. The ex: tremity of the wire D is pointed, so that it will retain its position when brought into engagement with the back of the picture-frame. secure the same effect without danger of marring the frame, in some cases we provide the end of the wire D with a Socket, in which is received a rubber pad, h, which bears upon the back of the frame with sufiicient friction and the adjustable brace consisting of the wire 0, provided with the eye 0 and slide d, the wire D, received in the slide (1 and provided with an eye, f, encircling the wire 0, substantially as herein shown and described.
2. The combination, with the wire A, having hooks a upon its ends, provided with the loop B in the middle of its length, of an ad j ustable wire brace formed of the wire 0, having the eye 0, received on the loop B,the slide'IZ, provided wit-h the set-screw e, and the pointed wire D, extending through the slide (Z, and provided with an eye,f, encircling the wire (1, substantially as herein shown and described.
