Application tiled June .2, 1893.

To all whom, it may concern.-

.Be it kuownthatl, WILLIAM ll. llnowxnm, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and Stale of New York, have invented a new and Improved Design for PietureFrames and Easels, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying photograph, forming a part of this specification, in which apelspective view of mynewlydesigned picture-frame and easel is shown.

The picture-frame A is made in imitation of the frame of a billiard-table, and is provided with legs B, also made in imitation of the legs of a billiard-table. The picture, plaque, sheet, 820., G, is held in the frame A in the same manner as a bed-plate is held in a billiard-table. The frame is provided below the top rail with a fringe, D, or like ornament, in thesame manner as billiard-tables are provided with fringes. Sticks E, representing cues, are held on the frame, and small balls F rest on the picture or plaque or against the inner edge of one of the rails, as shown; but the imitation cues and the balls can be dispensed with. If desired, the frame can also be provided with pockets in imitation of the pockets of a pool-table.

positions. It may rest on all l'ourlegs, so that the plaque or picture will be in the same position as the bed-plate of a billiardlable, or the frame and easel can be held inclined by resting it. on one end edge and the lower ends ofthe legs at the same edge, as shown in the photograph; or the frame can be held inclined by resting it on one longitudinal edge and the lower ends of the two corresponding legs.

Any desired picture, painting, printed mat ter, 850., can be produced on the plaque held in the frame.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The herein described newlydesigned easel and picture-frame, consisting of aframe on which one or more sticks resembling billiard-cues are held, as set forth.

2. The hereindescribed newly-designed easel and picture-frame, consisting of a frame made in imitation of a. table on which sticks resembling cues are held, and of balls resting on the picture or plaque, or on the inner edges of the frame, as set forth. 7
