Publication number: 20160216096Abstract: Disclosed here are methods, devices, paradigms and structures for wiring a picture frame, and for generating user defined templates for hanging picture frames wired using the device in various layouts. A template may be generated on a flexible material, such as a paper. The template includes a manifestation of picture frames in a particular layout. The dimensions of the manifestation of the picture frames are substantially the same as actual picture frames for which the template is generated. The template also includes a marker in the manifestation of each of the picture frames that indicates a position for placing a fastener on the wall to hang the picture frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2016Publication date: July 28, 2016Inventors: Madhav Mehra, Timothy Stevens

Patent number: 9351594Abstract: Disclosed here are methods, devices, paradigms and structures for wiring a picture frame, and for generating user defined templates for hanging picture frames wired using the device in various layouts. The device allows the maker of the frame to install a hanging wire to the frame at a predefined position, for example, at a predefined distance from a top edge of the frame. A spring-loaded peg mounted on a flat slab, at a predefined distance from a wall member of the device, allows wiring the frame such that the apex of the wire is at the predefined distance from the top edge of the frame. The frame is placed in the device with the top edge of the frame adjacent to the wall member. The flat slab is configured to move vertically on a channel guide mounted on the wall member to accommodate varying thickness of the frame.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: ART.COM, INC.Inventors: Madhav Mehra, Timothy Stevens

Patent number: 5587756Abstract: A film cartridge comprises a housing having a film exit slit, and a film roll support rotatable inside the housing to unwind a filmstrip beginning with a film leader having several frame lengths from the film roll support to allow the film leader to be moved outwardly through the slit to accomplish film loading in a camera. A visible film-loaded indicator is located to be seen through a window in a camera. A cover strip covers the indicator to prevent the indicator from being seen. A tether has a forward portion located at the slit for releasably engaging the film leader and a rearward portion releaseably engaging the cover strip. An engageable portion is located on the film leader for engagement with the forward portion of the tether as the film leader is moved outwardly through the slit, to make the tether move with the film leader to draw the cover strip off the indicator when the film leader is moved out of the housing sufficiently to accomplish film loading in a camera.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1996Date of Patent: December 24, 1996Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Madhav Mehra, Joseph A.

Patent number: 5581320Abstract: A film cartridge comprises a housing having a film exit slit, and a film roll support rotatable inside the housing to unwind a filmstrip beginning with a film leader having several frame lengths from the film roll support to permit the film leader to be moved outwardly through the slit to accomplish film loading in a camera. A visible film-loaded indicator is located on the exterior of the housing to be seen through a window in a camera. A flexible cover strip has an opaque portion covering the film-loaded indicator to prevent the indicator from being seen and a film engaging portion located at the slit. Engageable means is located on the film leader for engagement with the film engaging portion as the film leader is moved outwardly through the slit, to make the opaque portion be drawn off the film-loaded indicator to uncover the indicator when the film leader is moved out of the housing sufficiently to accomplish film loading in a camera.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 1996Date of Patent: December 3, 1996Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Joseph A.
