SIGN.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented r named 'App1icati0n filed March 20, 1919. Serial No. 283,714.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JAMES C. BOYD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pitcairn, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented cer tain new and useful Improvements in Signs, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to signs, more particularly the license or number plates of motor vehicles, but it is to be understood however the invention can be employed for any purposes wherein it is found applicable, and the invention has for its object to provide a sign plate or license plate or number plate, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, with the numbers or digits so set up as to be quickly read and of a form which will readily attract ones attention, and furthermore to provide the numbers or digits of the plate one of a different color from the other so they will be very conspicuous and quickly seen.
Further objects of the invention are to provide a sign, license or number plate which is ornamental, durable, eflicient in its use, conspicuous, and inexpensive.
With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists of the novel con struction of sign, license or number plate as hereinafter set forth and illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which come within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.
In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding parts Figure 1, is a front elevation of sign or license plate in accordance with this invention.
Figs. 2 forms.
Referring to Fig. 1, of the drawings the sign plate, or license plate or number plate consists of a body portion 1, which may be of any suitable contour, as shown rectangular, and is provided with the digits or numbers one, four, five, three and four, indicated at 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively. The plate is illustrated by way of example with five digits reading fourteen thousand five hundred and thirty-four, but it is obvious that the number of digits can be increased or diminished as desired.
Each of the digits 2 to 6 is of a difi'erent and 3 are like views of modified color relatively to each other so that they will attract ones attention as well as providing for a conspicuous number. digits are of the same color, that is to say each opposing digit is of a different color, so that no two opposite or opposed digits will be alike.
As shown the digit 2 is red, the digit 3 blue, the digit 4 yellow, the digit 5 white and the digit 6 brown. Under these conditions the digits are different colored throughout. Referring to Fig. 2, the body portion of the plate is indicated at 7 and provided with the digits one, four, five, three and four in dicated respectively at 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 and each of which is formed of two colors, as shown the digit 8 red and blue, the digit 9 pink and brown, the digit 10 yellow and black, the digit 11 white and orange, and the digit 12 purple and green.
Referring to Fig. 3 of the drawings the body portion of the plate is indicated at 13 and is provided with the digits one, four, five, three and four, indicated respectively at 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 and each of which is formed of two colors. In this arrangement the upper half of the digit is of one color and the lower half is of another color. As shown the digit 14 is red and blue, the digit 15 pink and green, the digit 16 yellow and black, the digit 17 white and brown and the digit 18 purple and orange. This manner of setting up the digits will make them not only attractive and conspicuous but will be easily read.
What I claim is 1. A license plate for motor vehicles comprising a body portion having one of its faces provided with a series of spaced digits arranged in parallelism, each opposed digit being of a different color relatively to the other.
2. A license plate for motor vehicles comprising a body portion having one of its faces provided with a series of spaced digits arranged in parallelism, each opposed digit being formed of a different color from that of the other digits and each of the digits being of a different color relatively to the other, and each of the digits formed of a plurality of different colors.
3. As a new article of manufacture a li cense plate for motor vehicles comprising an imperforate body portion having one of its faces provided with a series of spaced digits arranged in parallelism, one half of each arranged in parallelism, one half of each digit being formed of a difi'erent color, the digit being formed of a difierent color from 10 colors of each digit being different from the that of the other half, the colors of each colors of the other-digits. digit extending lengthwise, the colors of 4. As a new article of manufacture a lieach digit being different from the colors of cense plate for motor vehicles comprisingan the other digits. imperforate body portion having one of'its In testimony whereof I affix my signature. 15 faces provided with a series of spaced digits JAMES C. BOYD.
