FABRIC FRAME FOR CASKETS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dee. 1'?, 190'?.
Application filed April 26. 1907. Serial No. 370.368.
T0 all'whom 'it 'may concern:
Be it known that I, ANTHONY SAVER, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing in Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fabric vFrames for Gaskets, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to frames for holding extremely thin sheet material, especially gauze formed of fiber or of wire. Y
The object of the invention is to provide a frame for holding gauze that can quickly and efficiently be secured therein, which will be light in weight,.and of a neat and pleasing appearance.
The invention is especiallyl designed for slides in caskets employed at one end portion of the casket, where a glass plate has generally been used.
' In the drawing representing one embodiment of my invention, Figure l is a perspec- A tive view from which the upper side, Fig. 2
shows the mode of inserting the fabric and locking member in the frame member. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary section, showing the frame and means for securing the fabric or sheet material at one of its margins in the frame; and Fig. 4 is an enlarged perspective View from the lower side lat one corner of the fratrie.
The frame member may be of any desired general outline, and is illustrated as rectangular; but obviously could have a less or any greater number of sides. Furthermore, the sides instead `of being straight could be irregular or curved if desired, it being only necessary to give the locking member o1' members a similar curvature in their longitudinal direction.v The frame member is shown channel shaped in transverse section. One or both ofthe two opposite sides of the frame are made resilient. In the form illustrated, the frame A is formed channel-shaped, which channel has a bottom wall u and two side walls l) and c. The side walls l) and c are made to converge slightly from the bottom wall, as shown in the drawing. One or more locking members are provided, preferably `one locking member `being employed for each side or straight portion of the frame. Where the frameis rectangular, four of these locking members are used. The lockingmember is of a size vin cross section somewhat greater than the distance apart of the side walls b and c, so that when forced into the channel between these walls, they will be diverged' and hence tightly grip the o posite sides of the locking member. lt is etween one or both of these opposite sides of the lookin member andthe side walls of the channei shaped frame, that the fabric or other sheet material is secured.. Preferably the margins of the sheet material is passed around the locking member as indicated inFig. 2, so
that it will be engaged on both sides of the l locking member. in the form shown, each locking member K is cylindrical, and the fabric F at its margin is wrapped around-one' half or slightly more than haltI of the'circumference of the locking member, and then the locking member is forced into the channel between the opposite resilient sides, that Twill be distended as shown in Fig. 3, and securely lock the fabric in the frame. The fabric' will also be secured to a certain extent between the bottom wall a of the channel and the ad jacent portion of the locking rod. The side walls l) and c are preferably of about the same height as their distance apart when the rod is in position, so that their edges aline with the exposed side of the locking rod, thereby presenting a very neat appearance. The edge ol' the fabric preferably does not project any distance beyond itsengagement on,
the under side of the frame, and therefore does not detract from the appearance of the device. lf desired the frame can be formed out of a single piece of-metal by bending it to the required shape, rectangular or otherwise, and then bringing together ends of the piece,
at anintermediate part of the one` end of the frame, as shown in Fig. l, a clamping piece M being applied on the outside in the usual manner, as shown. lt will be observed that'no special fasten ing means, in the nature of nails or tacks are needed, to efficiently secure any thin 'material such as fiber vor wire fabric, or any sheet material, to the frame. rlhe frame can bevery economically' and simply made .from a piece the required shape and securing the ends. Then, but four locking members such as rods or bars of any preferred shape are needed. And the fabric is quickly secured in place by .of channel stuff, in one length, by bendingtc merely Wrapping its margins around each rod, and then vpressing the rod down into the a locking member inserted in the channell portion and pressed on opposite sides by the 'walls of the channel portion with the margins oi the sheet material interposed between the locking member and the frame member. 2. A 'frame having a channeled face in each side member with one sidewall ot the chanlnel resilient, a member of sheet material, and
:a cylindrical locking member inserted in the channel portion| and pressed on opposite sides by the Wallsof the channel portion With the margins of the sheet material interposed between the locking member and the frame zmember.
3. A frame having a channeled face in each sidemember with the opposite side Walls of the channel resilient, a member of sheet material, and a locking member inserted in the channel portion and pressed on opposite sides by the walls of the channel portion with the margins of the sheet material interposed between the lockingmember and' the frame member.
4. A frame having a channel in the inner face of each side'member With one side wall of the channel resilient, a member of sheet material, and a locking member inserted in the channel portion and pressed on opposite sides by the Walls of the channel portion with the margins of the sheet material interposed between the opposite sides of the locking member and the frame.
5. A resilient frame of substantially channelvsliape in cross section, a sheet material member having its margins extending into the channel or the frame, and a locking member inserted in the channel portion and bearing against the opposite resilient sides, with the margins 4of the sheet material secured between-the locking member and the side Walls of the frame. i
