' Specicaton of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 9, 1909.
Application led December 14, 1908. Serial N o. 467,350.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, WALLACE VR. Bioiironn, of 1"'Taltham, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have vinvented certain new and useful lmprovements'in Holders for Frameless Mirrors, &c., of which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its Vobject to plrovide improved means forbacking and holding a flat article of substantially rectangular form, such as a plate of glass adapted to serve as a mirror, the construction of theV holder being such that it iirinly4 engages the plate at dilferent portions of its margin, affords a `strong and stable Vsupport for the.
just'ed to plates of different sizes.
The invention consists lin the improved holder which 1 will now proceed to describe and claim. l
Gf the accompanying drawings', forming a part of this specification, ligure 1 represent-s a view of the back` of mirror plate provided with a holder embodying my invention. 2 represents-a Section on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents a view of a pors tion of the front "of the mirror, and corresponding portions of the holder. Fig. i represents a perspective view of one of the bars of which the holder is composed.
The same reference characters indicate the same parts in all the figures. f y In the drawings, 12 represents a rectangular plate, which may be of heavy plate glass prepared as usual fornse as a mirror, by a suitable coating applied tothe lback of the plate, the front side of the plate being pref'- erably provided with beveled marginal faces 13.
uIn Vcarrying out my invention, provide the plate 12 with a holder `which forms a skeleton backing for Vthe plate, and is engaged with its margin at a plurality of points, the holder furnishing` means for supporting the plate in position for use. The said holder is composed of'a series of bars plate in one direction, and a series of bars 15 formed to extend across the back of the plate in a direction at right angles to the bars 14, the bars of one series intersecting those of the other, and being rigidly connected thereto at the points of intersection by screws 16.
Each bar is provided at one end with an integral hook 17 which is formed to engage one of the beveled faces 13 of the plate, and at its opposite end with an adjustable hook 18 formed to engage the opposite beveled face 13, the adjustable hook having a shank 19 provided with slots 20 which receive attaching screws 21 engaged with the body portion of the bar, the slots and screws co-nstituting means for securing the adjustable hooks 18 Vvto the accompanying bar at different adjustments to adapt the holder to plates of different sizes.
'1t will be seen by reference to Fig. 1 that the integral -hooks, are arranged to engage two Vadjacent edges of the plate, while the adjustable hooks are adapted to engage the other two edges of the plate.
ln assembling the parts, the plate is moved into engagement with all the integral hooks, the adjustable hooks being loosened, and when the plate is properly seated on the integral hooks, Vthe adjustable hooks are moved into engagement with the plate and fastened by the screws 21. The holder is thus securely affixed to the plate, the only portions of the holder which are visible at Vthe front of the plate being the portions of Lthe vhooks which project over the beveled faces of the plate, and in the case of a mirror which is to be suspended by a cord, two ears 22, whichv are secured to the Shanks of the upper vadjustable hooks 18 by two of the attaching screws 21, said ears projecting above the upper end of the frame and havling-'orifices to engage a suspending cord.
It will be seen from the foregoing that the described holder is adapted to be convenientlyand securely applied lto a plate, and that when applied, it constitutes a backing which materially protects and strengthens the plate and affords a means for supporting the same.
23 represents a backing member which is interposed between the plate 12 and the bars of the holder as a protector for the reflecting coating on the back of the plate.
l claim:
A plate backing and grasping holder composed oftwo series of rigidly connected bars, the bars of one series intersecting those of the other series, each bar having at one end v,an integral hook and at its opposite end an adjustable hook, and Ineens for securing the In testimony whereof have axed my att-n' tdelient aldjustrnents, the integral signature, in presence of two W'nesses.
