PICTURE SUPPORT.
Patented Oct. 1 0, 1893.
Shoe/Whoa UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PHILIP LINDEMEYER, J 13., OF JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO THE ROGERS PRINTING COMPANY, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
PICTURE-SUPPO RT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 506,599, dated October 10, 1893.
Application filed March 24, 1893. Serial No. 467,455. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PHILIP LINDEMEYER, J r., a resident of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Picture-Support; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.
The invention relates to a support for cards, pictures and the like such as set forth in Patent No. 469,436, granted to me February 23, 1892 5 and it has for its object to increase the efficiency of such devices and at the same time diminish their cost; and it consists in the construction hereinafter described and particularly pointed out.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective of the improved support or easel applied to a card. Fig. 2 is a vertical section; and Fig. 3 is a side elevation.
Numeral 1 denotes a card or picture and 2 a member of a supporting device cemented or otherwise secured to its back and 3 denotes another member adapted to actas a brace or prop. The support which is preferably made of paper consists essentially of one strip, though in some cases a simple additional reinforcing piece is contemplated as hereinafter described.
Numerals 4 and 4 denote the ends of the main or single strip which is bent upon itself and cemented as follows: Beginning at the foot of the outer or free member or brace 3 the ends of the aforesaid strip are cemented to each other up to about from one to two thirds the height of the device. From this point one part is continued in direct line to the upper end of the support where it is bent upon itself and then continued downwardly to form the member 2 which is secured to the card to be supported as before stated. At the foot of this member the strip is bent upon itself and the contiguous parts are cemented together up to about the same height as on the opposite member from which point the strip extends to said opposite member to which it is cemented as stated.
6' denotes a bend in that portion of the strip which ties the two members together. This bend permits the two members of the support to be folded together in compact form. As the tying or connecting part 6 is situated at a distance above the bottom of the support the ends of the strip can be placed together at the foot of the member 3 as specifled and the overlapping of said ends, required in the prior construction is avoided. The necessity for the connecting or backing piece required by such prior overlapped joint is also avoided.
Further the ends 4 and 4 of the strip in the improved construction present their edges to the table, counter or other supporting base, and by their friction obstruct the too easy movement of the foot of member 3. The elevated situation of the tie 6 also provides for a wider spread of the feet of the support. And what is more important it adapts the device to utilize the elasticity of the member 3 to prevent the collapse of the support when it is accidentally struck as in such case the foot of 3 is thrown outward by the rebound.
If the support is made of sufficiently light material it may under some circumstances assume the position indicated in Fig. 3 in which event a double thickness of the strip from the point 6' to the foot 4, 4 is utilized as a brace.
My construction is not inconsistent with I the use of a reinforcing strip such as indicated at 7 in Fig. 2. This is preferably cemented to the outer, member 3 on the inside thereof and between it and the other end of the main strip, which construction does not interfere with the friction of the foot 4, 4' before described.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is 1. The picture support comprising two members 2 and 3 and a folding tie 6 situated intermediate the upper and lower ends of said members, the support including the tie being 5 made of a single strip and the portions of its members below said tie doubled in thickness by cemented portions of said strip, substantially as set forth.
2. The picture support comprising twomem- 10o bers 2 and 3 and a folding tie 6 situated intermediate the upper and lower ends of said members, the support including the tie being made of a single strip and the portions of its members below said tie doubled in thickness by cemented portions of said strip, and a reinforcing strip 7, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
PHILIP LINDEMEYER, JR.
