METAL sonnnu.
Application filed February 17, 1923. Serial No. 619,608.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, ERNST. MELAUN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Indianapolis, county of Marion, and State of Indiana, have invented a certain new and useful Metal Screen; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying draw ings, in. which like numerals refer to like parts.
This invention relates to a metal curtain comprising a plurality of ornamental metal plates linked together by ornamental attachments insuch fashion as to give the curtain formed thereby complete flexibility.
The metal curtain, which will be. hereinafter more fully described and claimed, is particularly adapted to supplant iron grill work and the like. In covering radiators, screening fire places or providing a protecting covering for other purposes wherein it is desired to employ decorative grill or iron work, it is found that each particular piece must be made to order so as to properly fit, thus necessitating hand work which is especially done for the purpose and consequently most expensive. The attendant expense in using the wrought iron covering may be avoided by the use of the metal curtain which will give substantially the same appearance and be highly decorative aside from having other advantages over the usual grill work. In the case of radiator coverings, the grill work must be hinged or removable in order to get at the radiator, whereas the metal curtain may be hung thereover and at any time may be readily lifted up so as to give access thereto. The advantage in having the article covered more accessible will be appreciated by those familiar with the art. Another advantage of the metal curtain is that it does not have to be made to exact measurement away from the object. The parts therefor may be stamped out in quantities and kept in stock, and the curtain assembled on the job, there by saving appreciable time and expense. Furthermore the metal curtain may be readily removed, replaced or repaired by removing and inserting new plates or links.
The principal feature of the invention resides in the construction of a metal curtain adapted for the purpose above described, which will be practical, artistic and thoroughly sanitary for use as a decorative and protective screen for radiators, fire places and the like. Said curtain consists preferably of metal plates stamped from steel, brass, bronze or other suitable metal, said plates being associated and connected together by a. plurality of suitable links, as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
The full nature of this invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claims. i
Fig. 1 is a perspectiv view of a radiator cover formed from the metal curtain. Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan view ofa section of the curtain. Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a section of the curtain showing a modified form thereof.
In the drawings there is'sho-wn a screen or curtain 10 mounted on a radiator supported by the radiator'base or legs 11 upon the top of which there is an ornamental top plate or cover 12 for completely screeningand enclosing the radiator, but permit-- ting the radiation of heat therefrom. A metal curtain is formed of a plurality of metal plates 13 which maybe stamped out of sheet iron, steel, copper, brass or the like or cast, if desired, upon which there is formed an ornamental pattern 14. The plates 13 may be cut in any desiredshape, that shown herein being square with the corners beveled ofi'. Adjacent each corner there is provided a hole or aperture 15 through which the connecting links may extend.
The plurality of plates 13 are secured together by the connecting links 16 which may be stamped out of suitable sheet metal in any suitable shape to give the desired artistic effect. They may be formed in the shape of rosettes or may be circular with tending through and linking together four adjacent plates, those links 16 used about the" edges of the completed curtain may be cut in half so that there will be only two arms for connecting the adjacent two plates,
the cut portion of the link falling in the plane along the edge of the curtain. The top edge thereof may be connected to a suitable supporting strip '19 having holes 20 therein by the links 16 which are provided with three instead of four arms, tWo of which engage the adjacent two plates, the third engaging the strip 19.
In the 'modified form shown in Fig. l, the links 16 connect the plates 11a between their adjacent sides rather'than their adjacent corners, thus presenting a diiferent decorative appearance, although embodying the same construction. Likewise the rows of plates may extend in a perpendicular and horizontal plane or may be angularly disposed. i
From the foregoing it will be obvious that a metal curtain or screen may be formed having the desired artistic effect similar to that given by grill work, which may be made up in quantities and kept in stock, easily packed and shipped so as to be assembled and'inst-alled on the job. Furthermore it is unnecessary that' a skilled workman assemble install 'tlie'cov'ering as it may be readily done by unskilled persons. Sections or plates may be added to or removed from the curtain as'may be desiredand the curtain may be readily lifted for permitting access to thearticle covered without the provision of hinged or removable frames or the like. It further eliminates the greater part of the framework necessary for, grills. The curtain is applicable to not only radiator casings, firescreens and the like, but may be used for paneling and all other art work for which iron grills are used. i
The invention claimed is:
1. A metal curtain or screen comprising a plurality of independently mounted metal plates positioned so as to form diagonally extending rows, and a plurality of metal ornamental connecting disks having engaging arms for connecting each of the four adjacent plates so 'as to flexibly maintain them in their relative positions, substantially as and for the purpose described. 2: A metal curtain or screen comprising a plurality of independently mounted metal plates, saidplates being substantially rectan ular and provided with apertures adjacent the corners thereof, and ornamental metal connecting disks provided with four outwardly extending arms positioned between the adjacent-four plates so that the arms thereof extend through said apertures and bent so as tohook therein, substan tiallyas and for the purpose described.
A metal curtain or screen comprising a plurality of individually mounted metal plates, said plates having stamped thereon a:decorative'figure andhaving' a plurality of apertures formed in the adjacent edges thereof, a sheet metal connecting disk positicnedintermediate the'corners of eachof the four adjacent plates, anda plurality of outwardly extendingfiexible arms formed on said connecting disks adapted toextend through said apertures andbe bent so as to hook therein, whereby said plates Will be linked together so as to form acontinuous sheet metal structure.-
In witness whereof, I have hereunto affixed my signature. 1 r
ERNST MELAUN.
