Definitions

  • This invention relates t0 improvcments in easels f01 holding photographs, miniatures and. the 1ike and Which usually comprise a support 01' frame adapted to receive the photograph 01 like objcct, and a f00t which is pivoted to the back 0'f the said fraxne
  • thc f0ot is so constructed and pivoted to the frame as t0 be easily removed from thc latter whereby the photograph may be inserted in ehe frame tlnough the back part thereof, and the said 1100t is so arranged that when vdisposed in place it Will also serve t0 maintain thc photograph in position in a reliable manner, and the latter will n0t require to be he1d in the frame by any special fixing device.
  • This result may be obtained firstly by providing an opening in the frame whose cdge is cut away at the back part in order 130 receive the photograph 01 1ike object after the manner of a frame whereby it is p1evented frorn leaving the said frame at the front portion thereof.
  • the edge 0f the opening may -be provided with a plurality 01' projecting portions, c1aws, catches, hooks 01 the like whereby the photograph ma v be held in the same manner.
  • the said f0ot is pivoted t0 the frame by tw0 articulations disposed at the same 1evel at the back 0f the frame and 011 either side 01 the opening, the upper pa1t cf the said foot being so disposed as t0 come in contact with the back of the photograph when the ease1 is set up in place.
  • the said articulations a1e moreover constructed so as t0 be easily rc movable, f0r instance by means of an e1astic bending of the upper pa1t 0f the said foot whereby tbe articulated portions 01 the foot may be disengaged f1om the co-acting parts 0f the frame.
  • cf the said frame and of the foot, as well as the method dismountable articulation, may be modified as desired.
  • Figure 1 is a real elevation 0f the ease1. the frame being in the vertical osition and the f0ot obliquely raised.
  • F1gure 2 is a cross-section of the sanae.
  • F1gx 3 is a plan view of the easel viewed from the top.
  • a indicates the framework and Z) thc foot cf the ease1.
  • the framework is constituted by a frame 1 having a cut out portion 2 at the back part thereof and providad with the bearing ]ugs 3 secured to this frame.
  • the latter majv alS0 comprise various parts attached thereta f01 purely decorative purposes.
  • two cyelets 4 serving as bearing and having disposed therein the journals of the fobt b.
  • This latter is constituted by a metal wire which is bent into a suitable shape according 10 a symmetrical disposition.
  • the midd1e part 0f the said wire forms the base 5 of the foot, and the ends of the Wir@ are outwardl v bent in order to form the journals 6 engaging the eyelets 4 by reason 0]": the elasticit v of the wire.
  • the two branches 0f the wire possess the straight portions 7 having slidab1e thereon a sliding member 0 for spacing the said branches apart.
  • the said sliding membcr is disposed at the upper part of the f0ot it prevents the journals fr0m approaching each otber and thus becoming disengaged from the eyelets 4. 011 the contrary, if the sliding membet is slid down t0 the bottom of the portions 7, the said journa1g may n0a be moved towards each other whereby they are disengaged fron1 the eye1ets 4, thus detaching che 100t from the frame WOIk.
  • the photograph miniature 0r like object may then be disposed in the frame 1 as We1l as a rigid back p1ate (Z serving to receive the pressure of the foot b after this latter has been secured in position. It is anderstood that the use of the said plate is optional.
  • the upper part of the foot is preferably shaped as indicated in the drawings, und chiefly in Fig. 3, the two branches of the foot being laterally bent into the shape of a very obtuse-angled V, whose apex is forwardly situated and bears in an elastic with reference to the framework.
  • the special configuration ol' the elastic metal wi1e composing the foot will produce several effects a1; the san1e time; lt procluces the engagement o1 the jou'rnals 6 in the eyelets 4, it presses the photograph into its frame ancl also maintains the foot at the desirecl inclination with reference to tl1e framework.
  • the elastic pressure cf the wire in the o'rifices 0f the slicling member also aids in maintaining the latter in the upper position.
  • the shape an(l construction cf the foot may be moclifiecl, f01 instance b v forrning the same in a greate1 nun1ber cf arts, 01' the arrangement 0tf the framework o1 the method 0f articulation may bc varied, proviclecl the foot may be reaclily clisengaged f10m tl1e frarne W01k.
