IMPROVEMENT IN SIGN-PLATES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 175,333, dated March 2- 1876; application filed February 5, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JULIUS CAESAR, of New York city, in the county and State of N ewYork, have invented a new and Improved Sign-Plate, of which the following is a specification In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a front view; Fig. 2, a horizontal section on the line 00, Fig. 1, of my improved sign-plate; and Fig. 3, a detail rear view of the plate, showing the attachment of the frame to the plate.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. 7
The invention is designed to substitute in place of the porcelain door, coffin, and other sign-plates, that are liable to be broken by the violent closing of the doors or other causes, an improved door-plate, which is kept clean with the same facility, and is not as liable to breakage, and of elegant and ornamental appearance.
The inventioumonsists of an enameled door or other plate hat is.secured to a metallic border-frame and attached thereby to the door, without requiring the direct passage of thefastening-bolts through the plate.
In the drawing, A represents a copper or other enameled metal plate for house and office doors, cofiins, signs, and similar purposes, on which the name, number, 860., is applied in the customary manner. The enameled sign-plate A may be cut in any desired shape or configuration, as required, to
be framed in the nature of apicture-frame by a metallic molding, B, of corresponding shape, so as to admit a great variety of shape and ornamentation of plate and frame.
The sign-plate A is either directly soldered to the frame or molding B at the edges, or attached thereto by lateral cross-plates at the rear, or in any other suitable manner, the frame being applied to the door either by rear bolts and screws passing through holes of the same, or directly by side screws passing through perforated end lugs of frame B. In whatever manner the sign-plate is fastened, the danger of breaking the same, or the splitting ott' of the enameled surface by the fastening-screws, is completely avoided, 'and a strong, durable, and very ornamental signplate obtained.
In the process of manufacturing enameled plates, the latter expand in the middle, thereby causing the edges to bend unevenly; hence, when these plates are used for signs, they are greatly liable to break on the edges, while by the use of my metallic frames, which lie flat on their edges, the difliculty is obviated.
What I claim is- .A sign made of an enameled plate having .its edges set in a metallic frame, as and for the purpose specified.
