FACEPLATE FOR ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLES.
App1ication1ed-3'une` 21, 1922. l Serial No. 569,841.
To all a1/0m t mayconccrn Be it known that I, SAMUEL P. WYRFEL, a citizen of the United States of America, residing in Hartford, in the county of Ilart` ford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Faceplates for Electrical Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to face plates for electrical receptacles, and particularly to a face plate carrying a bulls eye jewel. The object of my inventiony is to provide an improved mounting for the jewel in the face late.
p In the accompanying drawings- Fig. 1 is a plan view of a bu'lls eye face plate in which my invention 1s embodied in one form;
' Figure 2 is a section on the line y2-2, Fig. l; Y
Fig. 3 is` a similar view showing the plate partially formed, and the jewel in position' for mounting; n n
Fig. 4 is anl inverted plan of portion of a face plate in readiness for the jewel mounting; and
Fig. 5 is a similar View after the jewel is mounted.
The present invention is applicable to face plates for various types of receptacles,
and may be embodied in what are known as combination plates, as well as in a simple bulls eye receptacle plate such as is here Vshown merely to illustrate the novel jewel mounting. The invention is applicable primarily to relatively thin sheet metal face plates rather than to the so-called solid plates.
As here shown the face plate 6 is apertured at 7 to receive the translucent bulls eye jewel 8. To afford a combined seat and mount for the jewel, the metal of the plate surrounding the aperture 7 is drawn by suitable dies, into a rearwardly extending collar 9. By a further operation, the metall is then offset at the front end of the collai` to form a seat l0 against which the margin 11 of the jewel 8 rests in inserted position. After the jewel has been pressed to its seat l0, the collar 9 is forced or spun over the bevel l2 of th-e jewel, thus firmly holding the latter to its seat in the plate.
As is well understood by those familiar with the art, a. lamp is arranged behind th-e jewel, and light from this source passes therethrough. The present mounting is such that no peripheral opening remains between the jewel and the plate, through which light from the lamp may pass. The plate is more attractive for this reason than certain bulls eye plates now in common use,
'in which light leakage around the jewel occurs. The present mount 1s readily and ecoly extending fiange means integral with the plate for securing the jewel in said seat.
2. In a face plate for electrical receptacles, a face plate apertured to receive a jewel and oii'set at said aperture to form a seat, to-
gether with a rearwardly drawn collar in# tegral with the plate andV affording means for holding a jewel in position on said seat.
3. The method of mounting a jewel bulls eye in a sheet metal plate which consists in aperturing the plate, drawing acollar toward the rear of the plate from the metal surrounding said aperture, upsetting the plate metal at the aperture to afford a seat, mounting a jewel in said seat from the rear of the plate, and displacing the collar into engagement with the marginal portion of the jewel at the rear of the plate to hold the jewel to its seat.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification. Y
SAMUEL I). IVYRFEL.
