SUSPENDING DEVICE FOR PICTURES.
SPECIFICATIIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 716,609, dated December 23, 1902.
Application filed September 22, 1902. fierial No. 124,418. (No model.)
To all whom 7125 may concern.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES HENRY WOR- SNOP, asubject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Halifax, in the county of York, England, have invented a new and useful Suspending Device for Pictures, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a new or improved device for suspending pictures upon walls, and has for its object to providea device upon which pictures can be hung by means of a cord and wherein in the event of the cord breaking the picture will be prevented from falling to the ground.
In order that my invention may be more readily understood and carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings, wherein- Figure l is a front elevational view of my improved suspending device. Fig. 2 is a sectional view thereof on line A B of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a rear elevational view thereof. Fig. l is an enlarged front elevational view of a modified form of my invention, while Fig. 5 is a sectional view thereof on line C D of Fig. 4.
Referring to the drawings, and particularly to Figs. 1, 2, and 3, a represents the back or base plate of my device, which plate a is provided with a hole in the center and is shaped to provide a flange or shoulder c',which flange or shoulder is arranged to support the cord 1) of the picture. A second front annular plate 0 is provided, which plate 0 is so shaped,
that when it is pressed firmly against the first-mentioned plate a the picture-cord b is held firmly in position between the two plates. In order to increase the grip of the plate 0 upon the picture-cord b,the annularsurface of the said plate 0, which comes in contact with the picture-cord, is ribbed or corrugated, as at c. To enable the front plate a to be held firmly to the back plate a of my device, the plate c is constructed with a grooved flange or neck 0 upon the inner periphery of such annular ring or plate. In operation the cord is arranged around the annular flange or shoulder a of the annular plate a,and the front annular plate c is pressed onto the plate a, so that the inner periphery of the annular plate a is sprung into the groove in the flange or neck 0 of the front plate 0, the ends of the cord bpassing through holes 0 in the outer plate 0.
In the modified form of my invention illustrated by Figs. 4; and 5 I provide the annular plate a with an outwardly-projecting flange a upon its inner periphery, such flange being screw-threaded upon the outside. The second orfront annular plate is also provided with an outwardly-projecting rim or flange c in place of the grooved flange or neck, which flange c is interiorly tapped to correspond with the screw-thread upon the projecting flange a of the plate a. In operation the cord 1) is arranged around the annular shoulder a of the plate a, and the plate 0 is then screwed upon the'plate a, the ribbed or corrugated surface of the ring or plate 0 holding the cord 1) firmly in position.
It will be understood that the device is hung upon a nail or hook by means of its central opening.
What I claim as myinvention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
1. As an article of manufacture the improved device for suspending pictures, such device comprising an annular base -plate shaped to form a supporting-shoulder for the picturecord, in combination with an annular outer plate, such outer plate con forming to the shape of the base-plate and being suitably corrugated and held to the base-plate in frictional contact with the picture-cord, by means of the inner periphery of the base-plate, being sprung into a groove in an inwardly-projecting flange upon the inner periphery of the outer plate, such outer plate being provided with holes through which the ends of the supporting-cord pass, all arranged, combined and operating substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and shown.
2. In a device of the character described, the combination of an inner annular baseplate having a shoulder on which the picturecord is adapted to be supported and also having an eXteriorly-screw-threaded outwardlyprojecting flange, and an outer annular plate adapted to clamp the picture-cord on said shoulder and having an internally-screwthreaded outwardly-projecting flange adapted to engage said first-mentioned flange, substantially as specified.
