3 Claims.
This invention relates to a novel decorative mounting such as for a clock, a picture, or the like.
An object of the invention is to provide such a mounting in which translucent material, such as glass, may be very eifectively utilized in producing an article which effectively typifies and incorporates modern usage of materials of this kind.
Another object is to produce such a mounting in which the utilitarian value of the article is not sacrificed to the ornamental function thereof.
Another object is to provide an article of this kind which may be manufactured in a highly efficient manner.
Another object is to provide a translucent mounting incorporating the novel decorative effect of having varied degrees of translucency in various parts or areas of the device.
These and other objects are attained by means described herein and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. l is a front elevational view of a mounting produced in accordance with the present invention and having a clock mechanism associated therewith by way of exemplifying a use of the mounting.
Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the device illustrated in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a front elevational view of the modified form of the mounting of this invention with a clock mechanism associated therewith.
Fig. 4 is a side elevational View of the device of Fig. 3, as seen from the right hand side thereof; and
Fig. 5 is a cross sectional view taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 3.
The recognition and extensive use of glass as a decorative medium for domestic, office, and other uses has made it desirable to utilize such material for clock and picture mountings and for other and obvious related uses. A particularly attractive and novel effect is achieved in the present invention by utilizing two or more sheets of translucent material, such as glass, the sheets being positioned in superimposed relation and being so shaped that overlapping areas are produced in the superimposed sheets whereby an eifect of varying or shaded translucencies is achieved and a highly ornamental article thereby produced. In addition to this, the present invention contemplates the superimposing of translucent sheets for the further purpose of producing a mounting which has sumcient Weight and substance to re- 1936, Serial No. 93,821
sist slippage and movement from position so that the danger of breakage is markedly reduced.
In further detail and with reference to the drawings, the device in Fig. 1 consists of three sheets of glass 5, 6 and 1, the greater portions of which may be semi-circular in shape as illustrated. The sheets, as clearly seen in Fig. 2, are provided along one edge with rearwardly directed flanges 8, 9, and it upon which the sheets may be stood up in display position. The angle between the rounded portion of each sheet and the flange thereof is preferably somewhat less than a right angle so that the sheets may not be readily toppled from upright position. The flanges 8, 9, and i!) may, as shown, be integral with the remainder of the several sheets.
The translucent sheets so provided are, as shown herein, of different area though, in the present disclosure, of the same general outline. The sheets are adapted to be positioned in superimposed relationship as shown and suitably connected together, such as by glass cement or other suitable means. In the structure of Fig. l, the smallest of the glass sheets supports upon it the two larger sheets, the second sheet 6 thus overlapping sheet 5 and being overlapped by the superimposed sheet I so that different degrees of translucency are effected due to the fact that light passes through different thicknesses of the translucent material, namely, through a triple thickness in the one case, through a double thickness in the second instance, and in the third case through the single thickness provided around the edge portions of sheet 1. The same type of graduated translucencies is provided in the flanges 8, 9 and Ill where likewise the decorative step-like effect of the overlapping flanges further adds to the ornamental character of the mounting. A clock is shown as associated with the mounting so formed, but it is obvious that any other device, such as a picture, miniature or the like, may readily be substituted for the clock mechanism.
In Figs. 3, 4, and 5 a modified form of the mounting is shown wherein the sheets I I, I2 and iii are formed, integrally if desired, with adjoining and angularly disposed sections I4, I5 and 56 whereby sheets may be stood up edgewise on a suitable supporting surface. Otherwise, the construction is substantially similar to that of Fig. 1 with the angularly formed sheets disposed in superimposed relation, with sheet l2 overlapping sheet II and being in turn overlapped by the largest sheet 13. The several sheets are of course suitably connected together and provided with any desired article to be mounted such as the clock mechanism shown by way of illustration. The same novel effect of graduated and varying translucencies, such as already described, is achieved in the structure seen in Figs. 3, 4, and 5.
It is obvious that any desired number of sheets may be utilized in a manner herein disclosed and likewise that the shapes and proportions may be varied to produce modified effects. It is also obvious that the invention adapts itself to very eficient manufacture due to the fewness of the parts and to the simplicity of their formation. As already intimated, the invention is readily adapted to various modifications, all of them characterized by areas of varying translucencies, but such modifications are comprised Within the scope of the present invention.
What is claimed is:
1. As a new article of manufacture, a decorative mounting for a clock, picture, or the like, said mounting comprising at least two sheets of translucent material provided with angularly disposed sections providing for standing up the sheets on a supporting surface in display position, the sheets being positioned in superimposed relation and being formed to provide overlapping areas in their superimposed position whereby different degrees of translucency are efiected in such areas.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a decorative mounting for a clock, picture or the like, said mounting comprising at least two sheets of translucent material provided with flanges adapted to support the sheets on a suitable surface in display position, the sheets being positioned in superimposed relation and being formed to provide overlapping areas in their superimposed position whereby different degrees of translucency are effected in such areas.
3. As a new article of manufacture, a decorative mounting for a clock, picture or the like, said i mounting comprising sheets of translucent material positioned in superimposed relation, each sheet providing angularly disposed sections whereby the superimposed unit may be stood up edgewise on a suitable surface, said sheets being formed to provide overlapping areas in their su perimposed position whereby different degrees of translucency are effected in such areas.
