SIGN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 304,946, dated September 9, 1884:.
Application filed June 28, 1883.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WM. A. MoGooL, of Perrysville, in the county of Ashland and State of Ohio,have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Signs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.
This invention relates to signs for advertising and other purposes; and its object is to provide a sign possessing superior advantages in point of durability, inexpensiveness, simplicity, and general efficiency.
In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my improved sign. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view of the same on the line at m. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view of Fig. 1 on the line 3 11 Referring to the drawings, A designates a longitudinal flat board,which forms the main portion or the base of my improved sign. This board is faced with a sheet-metal plate, B, that is bent to form a projecting cap or flange to provide a water-table at its top This flange O is formed by bending the sheet metal forwardly, as at D, at its top, then turning it over against the portion D and bend 'ing it rearwardly, as at E.
facing-plate into the board A, and also will (No model.)
serve to secure the plate B to the backing A. In a very large sign small screw -bolts might be employed, which project from the rear side, and by screwing nuts thereon, the faceplate and board can be tightened together as they may from time to time become loose. The metal facing serves to protect the board, and the flange at the top will protect the top edge of the board, and will serve as aprotection to the letters. This facing may be formed of sheet-iron, zinc, tin, or copper, or any other suitable material, and the whole sign can be very readily and cheaply constructed.
This improved sign is very durable, and will be found especially useful for out-door use, such as for roads, parks, &c.
\Vhat I claim isl. The combination, in a sign,with the longitudinal back board, of the metallic facing 13, extending over the face of the same, and bent forwardly at D at its top, from whence it is turned over and bent rearwardly at E to form a longitudinal forwardly-projecting top cap or flange, G, having a double thickness of metal, as set forth.
2. The combination of the back board, the metallic facing-plate extending over the face of the same and bent forwardly at its top, from whence it is turned over and bent rearwardly to form a forwardlyprojecting longitudinal top flange, C, over the face-plate, this said rearwardly-extendingportion being arranged to cover the top edge of the back board, and being secured thereto, and the letters or characters secured against the said metallic face and under the flange by screws or their equivalent passing through the facing into the base-board, as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
XVILLIAM A. MOCOOL.
