A display frame for mounting a pattern of cloth behind a transparent overlay sheet marked with the outline of a model wearing a dress, so that the display cloth may be viewed as a finished modeled dress. The rack is formed of a pair of spaced vertical members spaced apart by upper and lower horizontal struts, each mounted on a pedestal, with a horizontal hanger of circular cross-section joined to both vertical members and located a spaced distance below the upper horizontal strut. Each of the ve...

A quick-assembly picture frame is provided with improved means for locking the precut frame members together. The invention is intended for use primarily with picture frames formed from metal in extruded cross sectional shapes. Adjacent ends of frame members which define the corners of the frame are locked together by L-shaped brackets which are received in channels at the rear face of each of the frame members. The L-shaped brackets at each corner are secured to the channels by any suitable mea...

A slide frame is comprised of two component frames snapped together to clamp a slide film therebetween. The slide film has perforations on opposite sides thereof and arranged to extend along two opposite parallel sides of a window defined by the slide frame, the perforations having edges remote from the parallel sides. Two film spreading bars are arranged between the joined component frames along the two opposite parallel sides for limited longitudinal displacement in the direction of the sides ...

A bar or section of uniform cross section, preferably of aluminum alloy, is cut to required lengths to provide blanks which can be used as caster frames with a minimum of machining. The caster frame consists essentially of a first portion defining a hollow space extending vertically therethrough for rotatably receiving a connector rod or pin by which the caster is to be attached to a desired article, and a second portion for supporting the axle of a wheel or wheels. Numerous modifications are po...

A bed frame having a novel leg structure. The bed frame includes a right angle side rail, and a cross rail pivotally connected to that side rail for swinging movement between a storage position in which the cross rail is oriented parallel to the side rail, and a bed support or use position in which the cross rail is oriented normal to the side rail. The novel leg structure includes, in preferred form, a leg member having a U-shaped cross section at the top end thereof, the leg member being fixed...

A vehicle frame consisting of longitudinal bearers with hollow profile which are interconnected near their ends by at least one transversely extending element; at least one of the edges of the longitudinal bearers is provided with intentionally weakened places for reducing the compressive strength in the end areas, which are constructed as beads or corrugations that extend preferably in the vehicle transverse direction; the beads or corrugations may thereby have their greatest depth in the area ...

A novel holder for work pieces, particularly for holding picture frame pieces in which the adjoining mitered ends of the frame pieces are brought together. The inventive concept resides in providing a mechanism which permits primary adjustment of the jaws in such manner that the pieces are easy to insert and wherein as the last increment of movement of the jaws they tightly clamp the pieces and move them endwise toward each other in perfect alignment and after nailing; the mechanism also quickly...

Heddle frames are disclosed having heddle supporting rods with provisions to resist impact and for reduction of wear and abrasion and for noise reduction, this being accomplished by using a heddle rod with synthetic plastic material at the impact and wear surfaces or a heddle rod of such synthetic plastic material. The heddle rods in long frames may be supported intermediate their ends, and the heddles have C-shaped end eyes or closed end eyes depending upon the requirements of the particular in...

Heddle frames are disclosed which have heddle supporting rods with provisions for impact resistance, for reduction of wear and abrasion, and for noise reduction, which is accomplished by using heddle rods with impact absorbing material at the impact and wear surfaces which contact the heddles. The heddle supporting rods in long frames may be supported intermediate their ends, and the heddles may have C, J, or O shaped end eyes, different heddle rod cross sections and be of differing materials de...

A printing frame for use in association with a camera for holding copy or photographic materials for camera viewing, has a frame with a transparent glass panel fixed therewithin, and articulated light-transmissive panels pivotally mounted to the frame for disposition upon the transparent panel to secure the copy or photographic material therebetween. The frame has arms pivotally coupled to only one side thereof for carrying the light-transmissive panels. A plurality of springs are secured at spa...
