M. MAY. PICTURE HANGER, &c.
No. 426,460. Patented Apr.,29, 1890.
ATTORNEY.
UNITED, STATES PATENT OFFICE.
MERINDA MAY, OF MANCHESTER, IOWA.
PICTURE-HANGER, 800.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 426,460, dated April 29, 1890.
Application filed July 15, 1889. Serial No. 317,634:- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MERINDA MAY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Manchester, in the county of Delaware and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Support for Draperies, Pictures, and lVall Decorations, (for which no patent has ever been granted to my knowledge,) of which the following is a specification.
The invention will be first described in connection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claim.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a front elevation of the whole hanger, including the main frame, two brackets, and two clasps; Fig. 2, a side elevation of one bracket, and Fig. 3 a detail perspective view of one of the clasps.
In the drawings, the supporting-frame consists of the top plate A and the strc ight bar B, connected by strips 0. a a, so as to leave the openings a a", the straight bar B being perpendicular,while the plateA is bent at an oblique angle thereto, so as to allow the clasps C to slide on the bar B and between the strips a. This permits the drapery or pictures to be supported at any desired point on the bar B. The clasps C are made of woven wire, with the plate-jaws c 0, having teeth orserrations 0' at their biting ends, each jaw being preferably made of one woven wire, and the two jaws spring-jointed at c The upper parts of jaws are made in the form of hooks to receive the picture-fastenings, while the jaws clamp the drapery.
I may use flat strips of metal instead of wire, but prefer the latter, and may ornament the plate A with engraved patterns or in any any other known or suitable way.
D D are the brackets, each consisting of the scroll-springs d d (1 (1 arranged so as to receive the plate A, bar B, and strips a a, as shown in Fig.2 of the drawings. The spring d forms a bearing for and holds in place the lower end of the bar B. The spring cl performs the same function for they strips a, and the spring cl is arranged to form a rest for the plate A. Each of the brackets D consists of three spring-plates, one of which forms the back and is screwed to the window-frame, while a second carries the springs d d and a third contains the spring (Z and is riveted to the second,which is held by the first. The bottom scrolls d serve to strengthen the lower part of bracket and augment its elasticity, while the scrolls c on the clasps are merely ornamental and may be dispensed with.
Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is
The three platebrackets D D, having the springs d cl (1 in combination with the plate A, strips to, and bar B, as and for the purpose set forth.
MERINDA MAY.
