A communication by WILHELM MEYER, of the Firm of Edward Methlow & Co.,
of 109 Köpnickerstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany, Moulding and
Frame Manufacturer.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of The Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6, Bank Street,
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster, and 31, High Holborn, in the
County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to bars or mouldings for picture or mirror frames and
the like, and consists in suitably fitting and arranging on the strips or bars of the
framing material numerously repeated patterns of parts of the frames to be
produced. For instance, on one bar the long sides of the frames, and on another
bar, the shorter sides of the frames, may be placed. The patterns fitted may be of
suitable shapes, and be uncoloured or suitably coloured or for instance gilded.
This arrangement has for its object to avoid the necessity of packing finished
frames which consumes a great deal of time, is inconvenient and especially costly.
With this invention for instance for a given order, only the necessary number and
kind of bars or strips of framing material need be packed up and forwarded, and
then from these the frames may be made up in the usual manner at their
destination.
Pieces of the bars or strips of the framing material ready cut to the shape and
size of the parts of the frames to be produced may also be sent if desired.

Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool and 6 Bank Street,
Manchester both in the County of Lancaster, 118 New Street, Birmingham in
the County of Warwick and 31 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex, Civil
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
sanie is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This invention relates to bars or mouldings for picture or mirror frames aud

page_text: the like, and consists in suitably fitting and arranging on the strips or bars of the
framing material numerously repeated patterns of parts of the frames to be
produced.
On the accompanying drawings,
Figures 1 and 2 show the arrangement of the bars, and
Figure 3 a frame made of such bars.
For instance, on one bars the long sides of the frames, and on another bar,
the shorter sides of the frames, may be placed. The patterns fitted may be of
suitable shapes, and be uncoloured or suitably coloured or for instance gilded.
This arrangement has for its object to avoid the necessity of packing finished
frames such as which consumes a great deal of time, is inconvenient and
especially costly. With this invention for instance, for a given order, only the
necessary number and kind of bars or strips of framing material need be packed
up and forwarded, and then from these the frames may be made up in the usual
manner at their destination.
Pieces of the bars or strips of the framing material ready cut to the shape
and size of the parts of the frames to be produced may also be sent if desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
Bars or mouldings (s) for picture or mirror frames and the like consisting of
continuously repeated frame pieces (12) made of suitable patterns and materials
in such a way that said frame pieces may be cut off the bars and united to form a
frame (r) substantially as described.
