No. 591,089. Patented Oct. 5,1897.-

PICTURE-SUPPORT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 591,089, dated October 5, 1897. Application filed May 24, 1897. Serial N0. 637,852- (N model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be itknown that I, CARL H. W. BERBECKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Waterbury, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented an Improvement in Easels for Photographic and other Pictures, of which the following is a specification.
The object of the present invention is to provide an easel that is well adapted to the reception of photographic pictures, cards, or similar articles and on which such article is held at an inclination by a support beneath the same. This easel is cut out from sheet metal or similar material in the general form of a triangle having ledges or fingers at the lower ends of the inclined edges, the material being folded perpendicularly to the base and through the apex of the triangle, so that the easel stands upon the folded base with the two edges of the triangle at an inclination and adapted to receive and support the photographic card or similar article.
This device is easily and quickly manufactured out of sheet metal and is comparatively inexpensive, and a number can be packed together for transportation, or they can be finished in a flat condition and afterward bent up angularly, which is a great advantage, as many of the easels which have heretofore been made not only occupy considerable space in transportation, but they are difficult to put together or to bend into the proper shape for receiving and supporting the picture or similar article.
In the drawings, Figure 1 represents the easel as cut out as a flat blank previous to being bent up for use, and Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the easel complete.
The base A and inclined bearers B C are cut out from a sheet of metal or other suitable material, and they are in a triangular form, as illustrated in Fig. 1, the parts Band C being at a right angle to each other, or ap proximately so, and the fingers or lips 2 are at the lower ends of the parts B and C, and the metal is folded at 3 and at perpendicularly to the base of the easel and in the line of the apex of the triangle, or nearly so, and when the parts have been thus bent the base A forms a right angle, or approximately so, and a picture or other device may rest against the easel being supported against the edges 5 of the inclined portions B and C and against the fingers or supports 2 at the bottom ends of such inclines.
Easels of different sizes may be cut out in the sheet metal, and one or more small easels may be made from the triangular piece of metal cut out between the bars A, B, and C.
This easel is cheap to manufacture, and it stands firmly when in use and furnishes all the support that is usually required for a photographic or small picture of any desired character.
I claim as my invention-- 1. An easel of sheet metal cut out triangularly with projecting fingers or supports 2 at the junction of the base and the diagonal bars, and the sheet metal folded in a line perpendicular to the base and passing through the apex of the triangle, substantially as set forth.
2. An easel of sheet material having a base and two integral inclined bars'and the fingers or rests 2 at the lower ends of the inclined bars, such sheet metal being bent on a line perpendicular to the base and passing through the apex at the junction of the inclined bar, substantially as set forth.
Signed by me this 19th day of May, 1897.
' CARL H. W. BERBECKER.
