Improvements in Picture and analogous Frames.
1 ERNEST BÖHM of 5 Boxworth Grove, Barnsbury, in the County of Middlesex,
Chemical and Experimental Glass Blower, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows :—
The object of this invention is to produce picture and analogous frames which
are cheap in first cost and which are novel and artistic in appearance.
In carrying the invention into effect I make the frames of glass, clear or other-
wise, by blowing in a hinged or other mould. Preferably I use a four sided mould
in which I blow a glass vessel comprising four lengths of hollow frame beading
with rebate joined together by connecting pieces. I do not however wish to
limit my invention to the use of a four sided mould or to the production of four
lengths of frame beading therein. When the glass has set it is annealed and the -
lengths of heading are separated by cutting the connecting pieces and by grinding.
The glass beading so made is cut into suitable lengths to form the sides of the
frame, the ends are mitred and the frame is then made by joining the mitred
corners with cement or adhesive material or other suitable means. If desired metal
or other corner pieces may be used.
When blown from clear or opaque glass the beading may be painted externally
or internally in imitation of oak, maple, gold burnishing, or in imitation of other
colours or designs, the paint being subsequently burnt into the glass in the ordinary
way.
In another form of my invention I blow the frame complete in a mould, or, when
using a four sided mould I blow four frames which are joined along the edges and
which are subsequently separated as above described, but this method would only
be applicable for frames of small size.
I prefer to use a mould having interchangeable sides so that various patterns of
beading may be blown in the same mould.

Improvements in Picture and analogous Frames.
I, ERNEST BÖHM, of 5, Boxworth Grove, Barnsbury, in the County of Middlesex,
Chemical and Experimental Glass Blower, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement -
The object of this invention is to produce picture and analogous frames which
are cheap in first cost and which are novel and artistic in appearance.
In carrying the invention into effect I make the frames of glass, clear or other-
wise, by blowing in a hinged or other mould. Preferably I use a four sided mould
in which I blow a glass vessel or bottle each side of which forms a length of glass
frame beading with rebate the sides of the vessel being joined together by
Price By 1

page_text: connecting pieces. I do not however wish to limit my invention to the use of a
four sided mould or to the production of four lengths of frame beading therein.
When the glass has set it is annealed and the lengths of beading are separated by
cutting the connecting pieces and by grinding. The glass beading 30 made is cut
into suitable lengths to form the sides of the frame, the ends are nitred and the
frame is then made by joining the mitred corners with cement, or adhesive
material or other suitable means. If desired metal or other corner pieces may be
used.
:
In another form of my invention the beading may be produced in the mould of
the desired length with the ends mitred or angled off and having a rebate in
which holes are formed in suitable positions, so that springs or other fastening
devices may be passed through said holes and the picture thus secured in the
frame.
This glass frame beading is applicable for other analogous purposes such for
example as for cornices or mouldings for rooms and other decorative purposes.
When blown either from clear or from opaque glass the beading may be painted,
externally or internally in imitation of oak, maple, gold burnishing, or in imitation
of other colour or designs, the paint being. subsequently burnt into the glass in the
ordinary way.
i
In another form of my invention I blow the frame complete in a mould, or,
when using a four sided mould, I blow a vessel each of the four sides of which is a
picture or analogous frame the frames being joined along the edges and sub-
sequently separated as above described; and if found desirable I may blow such
frames with a clear glass front, so as to save the necessity of providing, and of
securing therein, a separate glass front for the finished picture frame.
I prefer to use a mould having interchangeable sides so that various patterns of
beading or frame may be blown in the same mould.
It is obvious that instead of blowing the glass in the mould, I may use a male
and a female mould and either cast or press the plastic glass between them so as
to produce a concaved glass picture or analogous frame as above described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is ;-
1. A picture or analogous frame made of concaved glass substantially as
described.
i
2. A picture or analogous frame made of concaved glass and painted or parts
thereof painted with colours and the paint burnt into the glass substantially as
described.
3. A picture or analogous frame made of lengths of concaved glass rebated
frame beading secured together to form the frame in any suitable manner
substantially as described.
4. A picture or analogous frame made of lengths of concaved glass rebated
frame beading painted or parts thereof painted with colours and the paint burnt
into the glass the beading so made being secured together to form the frame in any
suitable manner substantially as described.
5. A concaved glass picture or analogous frame made in one piece, substantially
as described.
