" or sections of the plate are stamped; and Fig. 7 is a somewhat diagrammatic illusi150 j and a base portion9adapted tojfit against the wall or ceiling. "-u Each sectionofthe UN TEDS ATES vIcronn riijoniiv, oFcHIcAGo, ILtINoIs,"Assie-Non @YcRaiiEhoiviranv, i
' citizen of the United States, residing at Chi cago, in the county of Cook and State of? To aZZ'wMm'itmay concernm I Beit known that I, vio'ron E. Emma;
Illinois, have invented, certain new and use-f ful Improvements in Wall-or CeilingPlatea of which the following is a specification.
. This invention relates to wall or ceiling plates designed to. cover the openings pr "vided in walls or ceilings for the reception of steam, water, gas, and other pipes.
One of the primary objects is the provision of an improved plate which is light,simple and economical in construction and which can be placed in position orhtaken apart and removed with great facility.- k
Anotherobje'ct of the} invention resides in. providing, a plate composed of sections hav mg a novel interengaging locking means of p such character as to permito'f thepressing of the sections from blanks, the completed sectionsbeing counterpartsi'ot each other.
My invention also contemplates certain novel detalls of construction andl arra'ngement of parts more particularly descrlbed hereinafter and pointed out in the claim.
The foregoing, together with such other objects as may hereinafter appear or incident to. my invention I attainjby means of a construction whichl I have illustrated in preferred form in the accompanying drawings,"
wherein Figure l'is a plan view of-athe top of one of the halves or sections of the device when used as a ceiling plate; Fig.2 is an end view of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a plan'view of an assembled plate; Fig. {l is a section onthe line IVIV of Fig. 3; Fig; 5 is an enlargedview of a detail of the invention; Fig.6 is a view of one of the blanks from which the halves tration of the application of my invention.
is comprised of two-sections 7 which are "counterparts of? eachother and whichare i substantially semi-circularin form, eachhalf or section havingfan upturned semi-circular neck portion 8 adapted to embrace the pipe plate is provided with a loop portion10 and' tongue portion arranged on] oppotaken apart.
By m construction I am enabled to press *i f r P l Patented Sept. 22,1914. 1" l 'nppiicationfiledAugust3Q, i913. SerialTNo.787,55; i I
which' is a plan view =otthe ,blankfrom which the halves or sections ofv the plate are vpressed, it will be seen that the blank comprisesasemi-annular plate 9 provided with a tongue-like strip 10 prof I je cting from the. periphery of the blank and which is pressed into the form of the loop 110; and with a portion 11 from which the tongue 11 1s formed and which also projects from the periphery of the blank and is sub- 7 stantially ofa right angular shape. The
it will be seen that the tongues 11 on opposite sections lit-into the loop portions 10 of the sections. The loops are sufiiciently springy to permit the insertion of the tongue por tions 11 butsnap back after the ribsl4 have passed the inner edges of the loops. When the two halves are thus assembled, the spring of the loops is sufiicient to hold the parts together because of the engagement of the edges of the loops by the ribs on the tongues.
At the same time the two halves may be readily separated. After the sections of the plate have been secured together about a pipe, and the plate has; been brought flush with the floor or ceiling, a small set screw '16,
is threaded into'one of the openings 15 and serves to hold the plate in proper position on the pipe.
From the foregoing it will bjeapparent that both halves of the plate can be pressed from the same blank and are counterparts of each other, this being made possible by'the peculiar arrangement of interlocking loop and tongue portions. The device is simple and inexpensive in construction and the secreadi1y secured together or each s'eetion from a single piece of metal without defacing any portion of the section exposed to view, this being madeipossible by forming the tongue and. loop portions of the sections from metal extending beyond the periphery of the semi-annular blank.
What I claim is A stamped metal ceiling plate comprising two counter-pa'rt, self-locking detachable sections having meeting edges, each section "be- 111g composed of a seml-clrcular body portion having a spring loop bent over from a portion thereof adjacent one ofthe meeting edges, and having one end free, and being provided with atongue bent over from the other meeting edge'and projecting therebeyond, said tongue being also provided with a Copies of this patent maybe obtained for bead at the extremity thereof, theloop of each section being adapted to receive and hold the tongue of the (other sectioajso that the"tongues lie between' the loops and the faces of the sections, and the beads on the tongues engage the inneredges of the loops,
whereby the sections are locked together against separation laterally and also longilive cents each, addressing. the Commissioner of Patents,
