Letters 1 mm No. 105,077, dated Jul 5, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN SETTING- CLOCK-DIALS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
I, GEORGE HILLS, of Plainville, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented an Improvement in the Construction of Clock-Dials and Sashes therefor, which improvement is described as follows:
Nature and Objects of the. I nvent ion.
The invention consists in forming the dial proper of a flat plate, upon which the time-figures and other characters or marks may be'printed with greater facility aud'better effect than upon dials the edges of which are headed or struck up in the usual manner; and further, in securing the aforesaid fiat dial within a deeply recessed rim, made separately of some metal, which will admit of receiving a bead and depression of sufficient depth to conceal the joint-between the dial and sash, while affording space for the center post beneath the glass, and at the same time will present a neat and sightly finish, and afford an attaching place for the hinge of the sash.
Description of the Accompanying Drawing.
Figure 1 is a central cross-section of the dial, with its rim and sash.
Figure 2 is a face view of the same.
General Description.
The dial proper a is made of a flat plate of metal, with a central aperture, 1), for the centr post, and apertures for winding-posts and for other purposes, as the construction of the clock may require, and with time-numbers c and other marks or characters, as usual.
(I is a molded rim, made separately from the dial proper, and formed at back with a depression, a, of sufiicient depth to receive the dial, which comes flush at hack, and is secured with solder, either with or without metallic clips.
The sash-frame f is molded or struck up with a recess, g, to receive the flange h of the rim (I, and with a further space or depression, i, within which the glass j is received between the upper curved edge of the rim (1 and the inner margin of the sash-frame.
' The glass j is secured by a wire or ring it, preferably of metal, bearing upon the glass uniformly all around, close to its edge, and attached by solder.
I thus provide a secure fastening for the glass, which is not liable to break it, presents no unsightly appearance, and does not jar loose, as the common putty setting is liable to do.
The dial a may he made of sheet metal, painted or colored in any manner, or of wood, paper, or other suitable material.
GEORGE HILLS.
