' UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE..
ELI M. SILVERBERG, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
PICTURE-FRAME.
SPECIFICATION forming part of L'ettefs Patent No. v683,'71 1, dated october 1, 1901. Appnc'ai'anieaniiy3,19oi. sesamo. 58,573. (Nomea-.1.)
To all whom it may concern).-
Be it known that I, ELI M. SILVERBERG, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State -of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in-Picture-Frames, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in picture-frames, and more particularly to that class wherein the medallion effect is produced.
The Object of my invention is to construct a frame of the above-described class whereby the picture may be easily framed without pasting the same to the glass or otherwise attaching it thereto, as it often happens that the glass of the picture is broken. Particularly is this true when framed in the style to produce the medallion effect. The pasting of pictures to the glass has been found to be objectionable in many instances, for the reason that when the glass is broken the picture is usually destroyed. It is the aim of the present invention to overcome all such difficulties, and in case the glass is broken a new glass may be substituted without the necessity of removing the picture from the frame.
A further object of the herein-described invention is to construct a frame in a manner that will allow the` pictures to be inserted at the front thereof and securely seated therein when placed in proper position, preventing any liability of the pictures becoming accidentally displaced from the frame.
The invention has for its still further object to construct a picture-frame that will be extremely simple in construction, strong, durable, comparatively inexpensive to manufacture, and highly efcient in its use.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter morev fully described, and speciiically pointed out in the claims.
In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings,`
forming a part of this specification, wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in whichbottom of the securing-strip.
Figure l is a front View of my improved picture-frame. Fig. 2 is a Vertical sectional View thereof. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary View of a modified form of my invention. Fig. 4 is a perspective View of the ornamental s ecuring-strip.
In the drawings the reference-numeral l indicates the body portion of the frame,which is preferably constructed in the well-known rectangular form. Upon said body portion of the frame is rigidly attached a raised molding 2, forming a shoulder 3, which construction obtains a perfect joint to the body portion of the frame 1. Upon the outer face of the said molding 2 is permanently secured an ornamental metal securing-strip 4, and this metal strip may have a curvilinear edge, as shown in the drawings, or may contain a border or ornamentations stamped thereon, or may contain a design which is commercially known as open-work to produce a most pleasing and artistic effect to the eye when the strip has been bent over upon the glass, as shown in the drawings. In lieu of the ornamental securing-strip 4 I find that ornamental corner-pieces, as shown in the modified form in Fig. 3, may be used, these corner-pieces being indicated by the reference-numeral 5 in the drawings.
The reference-numeral 6 indicates the picture, and '7 denotes the glass.
The reference-numeral 8 indicates the bentover portion of the ornamental securingstrip, which bent-over portion engages the front face of the glass and securely retains both the glass and picture in proper position.
The manner of framing a picture in accordance with the present invention is as follows: The upper edge of the ornamental securingstrip is bent upwardly, as shown in Figs. l and 2 of the drawings, this allowing both the picture and glass to be placed through the top downwardly into the frame between the outer face of the molding and the sides and When the picture has thus been placed in proper position, the upper ornamental securing-strip is bent over to engage the outer face of the glass or picture, as the case may be, which serves to retain the same in its proper position. It
will be noted that the picture and glass are ot' greater width and extend beyond the inner IOO lines of the molding in order to obtain aseat against the molding. The picture and glass are preferably of approximately the same length and Width as the outer engaging face of the molding, thereby producing a most pleasing and artistic eiect to the eye when the picture has been framed.
The many advantages obtained by my improvements will be readily apparent from the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction Without departing from the general spirit of my invention.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
'1. In a'picture-frame, the combination of a frame, a metallic securing-strip secured to of the said strip being bent over to engage the edge of the picture and glass, and being further bent to engage the outer face of the glass, substantialiy as described.
In testimony whereof I afx my signature inthe presence of two witnesses.
ELI M. SILVERBERG.
