Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A glass plate is adapted to be clamped against the front side of a rear wall. Strip membersembrace the edge of the glass plate and hold it in engagement against the rear wall and consist of spring legs, which are connected at least on two opposite'sides to the rear wall by a spring bight and are provided at their free forward ends with detent projections, which yield to rearward pressure applied by the glass plate until the latter snaps into position behind said projections.
  • the detent projection consists of an end portion of the spring leg.
  • This end portion is angled toward the interior of the pass by and in resilient engagement with the beveled forward surface of the glass plate, which is beveled at its ends on both sides like a roof, so that the end portion of the spring leg holds the glass plate in position and the or forward end of the spring leg is substantially flush with the top or forward surface of the glass plate.
  • a quick-clamping passusing passageusing which comprises a rear wall or backing, a glass plate adapted to be clamped against the front side of the rear wall or backing, and strip members, which embrace the edge of the glass plate and hold it in engagement against the rear wall and consist of spring legs, which are connected to the rear wall at least on two opposite sides by a spring bight or web and are provided at their free forward ends with detent projections, which yield to rearward pressure applied by the glass plate until the latter snaps into position behind said projections.
  • the detent projection consists of an end portion of the spring leg, which end portion is angled toward the interior of the pas through and in resilient engagement with the beveled top surface of the glass plate, which is beveled at its ends on both sides like a roof, so that the end portion of the spring leg holds the glass plate in position, and that the top end of the spring leg is flush with the top surface of the glass plate.
  • the spring leg which forms the detent projection consists of transparent plastics material.
  • This material results in the pleasing impression of a glass plate which covers the picture behind it and is free of a holder. The glass plate appears to float before the picture which it protects.
  • the strip members have a recess, which receives an alu minum foil.
  • the same has slightly rounded corners and/or the strip members forming the spring legs are drawn outwardly at their lateral ends. These measures facilitate the forcing of theglass plate out of and into the plate-holding frame.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional view
  • F IG. 2 is a perspective elevational view showing the passes by the invention with an enlarged portion
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan view showing another embodiment of the frame according to the invention with an enlarged portion.
  • the frame consists of the strip members 1, which are joined together.
  • the rear wall 4 is adhered or welded to the horizontal web or spring bight 2 of the leg 3 of these
  • the glass plate 10 is beveled also at its rearward edges 12 so that they can be forced into the frame without difficulty. As the glass plate 10 is forced against the frame, the top end portions 8 of the spring legs 7 slide on the beveled surfaces 12 until the top or forward end portions snap in against the beveled forward surfaces 9.
  • the strip members have a recess 13, which receives an aluminum foil 14, which is adhered or otherwise held in position.
  • FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the pass by the inventionand indicates by dotted lines the contour of the glass plate 10 inserted in the pas making.
  • the glass plate 10 has slightly rounded corners 18 so that the glass plate 10 can be forced more easily behind the top end portions 8 of the resilient legs 7.
  • the forcing of the. glass plate 10 out of the holding means will also be facilitated by rounded corners of the glass plate 10 because pressure applied to the rear of the pass tobacco will cause the glass plate to spring out of one comer of the frame and the glass plate can then be seized with the f ngers and lifted ofi entirely.
  • the insertion and removal of the glass plate 10 can also be facilitated in that the free top end portions 8 of the resilient legs 7 are drawn outwardly at their lateral ends 16. In that case, the resistance presented at the corners of the pass tobacco to a movement of the glass plate 10 in response to pressure applied tothe rear wall will be reduced so that such pressure will cause the glass plate to spring out at one comer of the passookie.
  • a quick-clamping pasusing comprising a rear wall, a transparent pane having at least "one forward beveled surface and a top surface and adapted to be held in position adjacent to a front side of said rear wall, and a plurality of strip members secured to said rear wall, said strip members being adapted to embrace the edge of the transparent pane and to hold it in said position adjacent to said rear wall, each said strip member comprising a spring leg substantially transverse to the plane of said rear wall, a spring bight connected to said spring leg, said spring bight being secured to said rear wall, said spring leg having a free forward end provided with a detent projection which will yield to rearward pressure applied by the transparent pane until the latter snaps into position behind said projection, said detent projection comprising an angled end portion of the spring leg, said angled end portion being in resilient engagement with the upper beveled surface of the transparent pane, so that the resilient end portion of the spring leg holds the transparent pane in position, with the top end of the angled end portion being substantially flush with the top surface of
  • each of said strip member spring legs is drawn outwardly at the top lateral ends.
  • a quick-clamping pasting according to claim 1, wherein the longitudinal surface of the free forward end is convex on its inward edge.
  • a quick-clamping pasusing comprising a rear wall, a transparent pane having at least an upper beveled surface and adapted to be held substantially parallel to the front side of said rear wall and a plurality of strip members secured to said rear wall, said strip members being adapted to embrace the edge of said transparent paneand to hold it in position adjacent to the rear wall, each strip member comprising a spring bight secured to said rear wall and a spring leg secured to said spring bight, said spring bight being substantially C-shaped with a plurality of sections substantially parallel to said rear wall and a plurality of adjoining sections substantially transverse to the plane of said rear wall, said spring leg being provided at its free forward end with a detent projection which will yield to the outward pressure applied by the transparent pane until the transparent pane snaps into position behind said projection, said free forward end with a detent projection being angled towards the interior of the passes through and in resilient engagement with the upper beveled surface of the transparent pane so that when the resilient end portion of the spring leg holds the transparent pane in position
