to be entered into receivingl warren eoopni'gw; or chicfeoyi tmois.
a cease To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that 1, WILLIAM Goonnow, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chica o, in the county of Cook and State of Ilhnois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Frame Corners and j 2, with a corner Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
The
resent invention is primarily de-' signed or interlocking the'abutting corners o, icture frames, but can be used or interloc 'ng other frames fect joint is desired or required.
The objects'of the invention are to hold the. abutting corners of the frame against front and rear slip ing, and to draw the abutting edges of tl ie corners in close contact, so as to form a perfect and complete Specification of Lette'rs'lPatent. v Application filed May 7, 1907. Serial No. 372,322.
ends of thestaple legs; Fig 7 is an elevation of the frame corner with the staple removed.
be ofany suitable formation and size, having side pieces 1 and end pieces 3, for each side and end piece, formed on an angle, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4. The side piece 1, as shown, has a tongue 4 across the corner 3, and the end iece 2 has a groove 5 across the corner 3,
The frame can which tongue and groove are in coinciding where a close and per- 'oint; to construct a draw staple adapted holes of the frame pieces on each side of e corner joint, for the le s of the sta le to act and draw together t e abutting aces of the pieces at theecorner; to form, in'the end face of one piece at the corner, a tongue, and in the op posing face of the other piece at the corner, a. oove to receive the tongue and hold the pieces in'elinement and against slipping forward or backward out of place; to con- .for the corner of a struct a. locking staple,
material, with the frame, of spring metal or legs of .the staple slightl inclined inward, and with the ends of each staple formed 'so as not to interfere with the forcing or driving of the staple to locking position;. and to improve generally the interlocking tongue or oove, and the locking staple, for making a t' ht joint at the corners of the frame.
e invention consists in the features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings Figure -1 is a rearface elevationof the corner of a frame, showing the locking staple therefor; Fig. 2 a. cross section on line a, of Fi 1, looking in the direction of the arrow; ig. 3 a erspective view of the abutting en faces 0 the corner of a frame, showing the interlocking tongue and groove; Fig. 4a front face view of the corner of a frame, showing the locking staple applied thereto with an ornamenta head' for the staple; of the locking staple of the invention, with an ornamental head thereon; and Fig. 6 a side elevation' of a modified form for the as to the enteringv lanes, so that, when the ton ue is entered into thev groove, the front ant rear faces of the side and end pieces will be flush, and the interlock of the ton ue and, groove will hold the corner against displacement forward or backward, giving a the pieces at the corner. 7
T e abutting faces of the corners 3 of the frame pieces are brought in close contact by the staple of the present invention, which fixed connection between staple is formed with an end bar6 and legs 7; an
the staple is made from spring wire or other suitable material, so as to give the stale a draw action,for which purpose the legs 7 of the staple are inclined inwardly, as clearly shown in Figs. 2, 5 and 6. The enterin end 8 of each staple, asshown in Fi s. 2 an 5, is rounded or curved so as to faci itate the entering of the. legs into holes 9 extending into the body ofthe frame pieces on each side of the joint line, as shown in Figs 1 and 2; and each hole 9, 1n order t'o give an inl of the staple,
Fig. 5 a side elevationdraw action to the legs of the staple, is of a slightl greater diameter in cross section than t e diameter of the legs of the staple, with the distance between the holes the same as the distance between the ends of the legs for the wall of each hole, adjacent to the edge of the corner, to furnish a bearing face engaged by the end of the entered staple leg, so that as the staple is forced home, the incline of the legs bearing against the inner faceof the hole will serve to draw together the abutting faces of the pieces at the corner 3, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Each leg of the staple, instead of having a curved rounded entering end 8, can have an end 10, as shown in Fig. 6, which end has an inner curved face to facilitate the entering of the legs of the staple into the holes 9, to effect a draw action by which the corner joint will be made close, as with the staple,'having the end 8 for each leg, of Figs. 2 and 5.
The arrangement of Fig. 1 shows the look ing staple for the joint at the corner applied to the rear face of the frame, but said sta is could be applied to the front face of t frame by havin a fancy or ornamental head or plate 11 fixe 'to'the end or cross bar of the.
staple, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5; and when applied to the front face of the frame at the corner, the staple, through the spring le s 7,
will act and draw together the abutting aces of the frame pieces at the corner, as described for the action of the sta is in the construction of Fig. 1, so that, w iether a t at by means of the mterlockin tongue and groove, and the locking staple o the present invention, a close joint 18 formed at each cornor of the frame, and'the corner is held against slippin either edgewise or fiatwise,
making a comp etc and perfect corner for the ame.
While it is preferred to have the enterin ends of the legs of the locking staple forme rounded, or with a curved inner ace, it will be understood that the rounding or curving of the entering end of each staple can be dispensed with, so long as the staplelegs have a slight inclination toward each other, and are ca able of being entered into the receiving ho es 9, formed therefor in the body of the frame pieces. The cross bar of the staple can be entered into across groove between the holes, so that the cross bar, with the cross groove, will prevent corner sliding of the abutting faces.
The corner of the present invention, with the interlocking groove and tongue and the locking staple, enables -a manufacturer of frames to send the frames to dealers cus tomers a'nd users in a knockdown condition,
as no skill is required in securing the corners,
soapso itonly being necessary to bring together the abutting faces and enter the locking staples into the receiving holes.
, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A frame corner having on one abutting face a tongue, and in the opposite abutting face a groove adapted to receive the tongue, for the tongue and groove to maintain the corner in p ace against fiatwise sli ping, in combination with a lockin staple ormed of a cross bar and a pair of egs and made of spring material, each leg having an inward inclination and entered into a receiving hole in the frame corner, substantially as described.
2. A frame corner having on one abutting face a tongue and in the opposite abutting face a'groove adapted to receive the tongue, for the ton e and groove to maintain the corner in p ace against fiatwise sli ping, in combination with a lockin staple ormed of a cross bar and a pair ofiegs and made of spring material, each is ha an inward inclination and a curve entering end and entered into a receiving-hole in the frame corner, substantially as described.
3. A frame corner having on one abutting face a tongue and in the opposite abutting face a groove adapted to receive the tongue, for the tongue and groove .to maintain the corner in p ace'against flatwise sli ping, in combination with a lockin staple ormed of a cross bar and a pair ofdegs and madev of spring material, each 1e having an inward inclination and entered intoa receiving hole in the frame corner, with the entered holes larger in cross diameter than the cross diame-
