PICTURE-FRAME.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 789,431, dated May 9, 1905.
Application filed November 28, 1904. Serial No. 234,447.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that l, Gnonen K. KELsnA, a citizen of the United States, residing at .Detroit, county of Wayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful 1mprovei'nent in Picture-Frames; and I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact dcscription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to picture-frames.
It has for its object an improved pictureframe of cheap construction, durable, and easily manufactured.
in the drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a finished frame. Fig. 2 is a perspective of the foundation of the frame. Fig. 3 is an enlarged section of the completed frame.
The foundation of the frame is made from narrow strips of wood, which may be cut from almost any refuse lumber. These strips are placed in three layers, with the middle layer at right angles to the two outside layers, that are secured at least temporarily in this position by glue or some other cement. The strips of wood are usually sawed and cemented together in tabular form and are then cut with suitable tools to the shape of the frame which it is desired to make.
On the inner wall 7 of the foundation is wound a flexible materials\:ich as paper or cardboard or thin strips of wood, preferably, paperand the thin strip is wound on itself or within itself until a sufficient coating of the wall 7 has been produced. The thin strip may extend beyond the surfaces 8 and 9, if desired, but preferably should extend beyond the surface only on the front or finished side of the frame. This makes ornamentation possible, as hereinafter described, and in View of the popularity of concaved or troughed picture-moldings tends to give the frame this appearance. The flexible strip is preferably wound to form the ledge 10, against which the glass or picture seats, and is secured in place by glue or similar cement applied to the strip during the process of winding. The outer wall 11 is also covered with a strip of flexible material wound thereon with sufficient layers to produce the desired finish. Like thcinner wall 7, this strip projects beyond the surface, preferably on the front side only. These layers of flexible material sccu re the strips of the base against any subsequent liability to break out and away from the frame by the breaking down of the glue or cement by which they were primarily secured together. Theframe would be sufliciently firm and stable if the strips of wood of the foundation were held temporarily by other means than cement and finally released from such holding means and left in to be held only by the inner and outer flexible binding. On the face of the frame is now placed a layer of finishing material, as 12. The ordinary picture or molding finish, made from whiting and glue, is generally used. This when run on the frame is molded with any desired configuration or ornamentation, and the frame may now be finished by gilding, painting, or by any other suitable ornamentation.
This construction can be used for many other purposes than for the construction of picture-frames and is applicable for any structure in which a foundation of thin narrow pieces of wood crossed in the way described is reinforced and strengtheitied by a binding of flexible material secured around the edges.
hat 1 claim is 1. In a picture-frame, the combination of a foundation of strips of wood crossing each other, and with the inner and outer boundary covered with flexible strips wound around the outside and around the inside of said frame, substantially as described.
2. In a picture-frame, the combination of a foundation made from thin strips of wood crossing each other, and a surrounding band made from flexible strips wound around the foundation, substantially as described.
3. In a picture-frame, the combination with a foundation made from thin strips of wood crossing each other, a finish around the inner Wall of said foundation made from strips of crossing each other, and flexible strips on the flexible material Wound around the opening, interior of the opening being wound to form a substantially as described. ledge for the glass, substantially as described. 4.
