f NITED STATES PATENT @Prion WILLIAM GRAHAM, WILLIAM SNYDER, AND PATRICK OBRIEN, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN SIGNS FOR STREET-LAMPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 121,614, dated December 5, 1871.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that we, WlLLIAM GRAHAM, WIL- LIAM SNYDER, and PATRICK' OBRIEN, all of the city of Pittsburg, in the county of All'eghany and State oi' Pennsylvania, have invented anew and Improved Sign for Street-Lamps, ot which the following is a specification:
Our invention consists in placing the naines of streets on each side of a small quadrangular frame and attaching said frame to a lamp-post beneath the lamp, and in such position with relation thereto as that the naines may be seen by night as wcll as by day.
To niake our invention readily understood we will describe it by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure i represents a perspective view of our invention applied to a street-lamp; Fig. 2, perspective view of the franie detached and open; Fig. 3, top view ot' frame closed; Fig. 4, transverse section of one of the sides of the traine.
To put our invention into practice we construct a small quadrangnlar frame, A, each side oi which is perlorated with the name of astreet, as shown in Fig. 1, and backed with glass B, held in place by small clips e e, turned over its edge. This frame is to be jointed at two of its corners, s s, so held by wire pins as that on the withdrawal of one of thein the frame A may be opened as shown at Fig. 2. It is also provided with a centrallydivided clasp, c, so connected to the frame A by radial arnis n a as to open and close with it.
The parts so constructed niay be put to use by opening the tra-lne A and passin.;I it astride of a lamp-post, T, so that the clasp owill, on the closin g of the frame, embrace said post at a point just below the lainp R, and in such position with relation thereto as that the artificial ligl'it will shine through the glass backing B, and the perforated naines on the plates or side of the frame A, making them readily discernible at night.
IVe claim- The hinged perforated frame A with its glass backing' B, central clasp c, and radial arins a n, inv combination with a lamp-post, T, and its lamp R, in the manner shown, for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.
