SET OR SCENERY Filed Aug. 16, 192? Patented Mar. 10, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE EARL I. SPONABLE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR T FOX CASE CORPORATION, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK SET OR SCENERY Application filed August 16,
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in a set or scenery for use in photography, particularly in the making of moving pictures. I It has been customary the required set or scenery, as desired, to suit the picture to be taken, and this has required considerable space and the expenditure of a large amount of money, and the materials embodied in the scenery are practically useless after the particular picture has been taken.
Further, the manufactured painted scenery is not all that can be desired in so far as 5 depth of picture, perspective, softness of 1C- ture by diffusion of lines and pleasing e ect are concerned.
The main object of the present invention is the production of a more effective, desirable set or scenery which embodies a softness of picture by diffusion of lines, an appearance of depth to the picture, and generally a more pleasin effect by the utilization of material, the b y portion of which can be re-used many times so that an improved set can be produced much more economically than heretofore.
This is accomplishedby providing a peculiar and novel curtain or curtains ofdesired size, and formed of a material provided with a nap of substantial length, and then drawing the scene upon thenapsurface of the nap fabric of the curtainwith crayon, pastel, chalk or chalky material of desired color or colors.
For illustration of a suitable manufacture, I prefer to provide a curtain of velvet, black in color, and of desired size, altho other preferably solid colors, such as brown. may
40 be used. It is essential that the fabric of which the curtain is formed, shall be one having a nap of considerable length similar to build and paint to the nap of velvet so that the chalky par ticles Will enter in among and cling to the nap to produce a diffusion of lines and a 1927. Serial No. 5213,3591
soft picture having the appearance of substantial depth and perspective.
Scenes drawn on a curtain or set of this character are exceedingly effective, as the black velvet absorbs light and does not refiect it, and no exposure comes from the unchalked ortion of the curtain, the only exposure e ective in producing a hotographic record coming from the chal ed portions constituting the scene.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of the set of this invention.
-When any one scene chalked on the curtain has served its usefulness, it is only necessary to brush the chalk froiffthe 'nap of the curtain, leaving the curtain in its original plain condition of solid color, and then another scene of desired character can be drawn in chalk upon it. Thus, the curtain may be re-used many times in the production of different and very effective scenery suitable for the various pictures to be taken, and
although I have described a specific construction of scenery and method of producing the same as constituting a perhaps preferred embodiment of the invention, I do not desire to restrict myself to the details of the same, as various changes and modifications may be made within the scope of the appended claims, and the term chalk as used in the specification and claims hereof is deemed to include any suitable drawing material such as crayon, pastel chalk, chalky materials or the like, the dry particles of which cling to the nap of the curtain.
I claim:
1. A set or scenery for motion pictures comprising a nap fabric having a scene drawn thereon with dry chalk particles which cling to and intermingle with the nap.
2. A set or scenery for motion pictures comprising a velvet curtain having a scene drawn 0n the nap surface therenf with dry chalk articles clmging to an intm'mingling with t: e nap. 23 A 0r wenery for motion pictures comprising bhcl: velvet curtain havin a, scene dr :1 an the 113. surface thereaf with dry alm'ik particles singing to and intermingling wlth the nap. m In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 8 day of August, 1927.
f EARL I. SPONABLE.
