GLASS PANEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 334,677, dated January 19, 1826.
Application med Nomina-p12, lesa serial No. 192,606. (No monti.)
To LZZ whom, t may concern:
Be it known that l, GHAUNCEY D. PEAsE, of New York city, in the county of New York, and in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ornamental Glass Panels; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 shows a front view of the panel with its frame; Fig. 2, a section of the same on line x x of Figjl; Fig. 3, aview of thesame from the rear side with portions removed or broken away to show the construction more clearly; Fig. 4, a view of a modified form of spring to be used in making up mypanel, and Fig. 5 a detail view showing a modification of the means for holding the glass in the frame.
Letters of like name and kind refer to like parts in each of the figures.
The object of my invention is to provide an improved glass panel with frame or casing; and to this end my invention consists in the construction, arrangement, and combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth, and more particularly pointed outin the claims.
In the drawings, A designates the panel easing or frame, and B thesheet of glass form ing the main portion of the panel. This glass I prefer to have as shown in the drawings. It is made of dark purple flashed glass,the dashed surface being on the front side of a clearlayer of glass, and being cut away so as to leave a raised design of dark color on a clear-glass surface or backing. The purple flashed glass is preferred, because the design then appears like rosewood fretwork. The glass best suit ed for this purpose has' kan unusually deep ashing, so that the design stands out clearly and boldly, and at a short distance cannot be distinguished from the finest and most delicate fret-work. Obviously the design can be made much finer and more delicate than if wood were used, and is permanent and not liable to crack or break with the heat, and always has the highest polish, not subject to injury or deterioration by time or alternations of heat and cold.
The frame A is preferably made of a solid piece, with the panel-opening C of the desired shape cut therein. With this construction the grain of the wood all runs the same way, and joints at the corners are avoided. The glass pane is made larger than the opening C, so as to overlap its edges on all sides, y
the overlapping edges of the glass and thel back of the frame A, around the opening, I place a thin strip of broadcloth or other cloth. I contemplate using, instead of cloth, for this purpose, any soft or semi-elastic substanceas, for instance,` paper, or elastic substance, as rubber.
` 'I donot limit myself to any particular substance; but whatever is used it should be soft and capable of yielding a little as the glass is pressed and fastened down in place, as hereinafter described.
To the back of frame A, a short distance from the uppervand lower edges of the glass, are fastened the strips D D', like strips D D. Between each of these strips D D and the adjacent edge of the glass are placed several blocks of rubber, d d d. Any desired number of these blocks can of course be used. Similar blocks can be placed, if desired, between d d are then only necessary on the sides parallel to the grain-that is, in the drawings the top and bottom sides of the glass.- lVithout these spring-blocks, when the wood contract ed, as it is bound to do in time, the frame would open at the sides. With the blocks any unequal expansion or contraction of the wood and glass will always be taken up.
Instead of rubber spring-blocks, as described, I contemplate also using metal springs for the same purpose, said springs being formed, as shown at E in Fig. 4, of a bowroo shaped strip of niet-al with its ends rounded or bent, as shown, so as to make good bearingsurfaees at e e. Over the back of the glass a piece of cloth, F, preferably of satin, is laid and pasted or otherwise fastened at its edges to strips D D D D. This cloth backing is best made of material having a color contrast ing with the raised design on the front of the glass. Over the cloth is placed a board, G, which is then fastened down in place by means of screws g g, or otherwise, as desired. When this board backing G is fastened down in place, the glass sheet B will be firmly held between the strip of cloth on its front side and the cloth vF at its back, so that there is no chance for rattling where the panel is used on a piano, for which use it is especially intended. The spring-blocks or springs between strips D' D and the edges of the glass would alone tend to prevent rattling, but with these and with cloth or yielding material between the casing and glass and the latter and the back board rattling is impossible.
Of course, instead of cloth between the glass and the back board, G, a layer of any other soft material, or semi -elastic or elastic stuff, can be used of any desired color; but I prefer the cloth, as described.
Instead of having the design on the front of the glass the sheet can be turned so as to bring the design on the back; but this is not sogood, as said design is not then so clear, and of course does not stand out like fret or carved work.
Instead of using the strips shown and described for holding the glass., the frame could obviously be rabbeted to receive the sides and edges of the glass sheet without departure from my invention.
I do not claim herein the glass panel proper with its raised design in color, and having a suitable backing, as shown and described, and covered by the claims in my United States Patent No. 329,771, November 3, 1885.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. In combination with a sheet of glass, the frame having a suitable panel-opening, cloth between the glass and the frame, a sheet or piece of cloth behind the glass, and asuitable backing-board fastened to the frame beyond the edges of the glass, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. In an ornamental panel, in combination with the sheet of glass, the frame provided with a suitable panelppening, and adapted to receive and hold the glass sheet at its edges, springs bearing against the edges of thesheet,
substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. In combination with the sheet of glass for an ornamental panel, the frame provided on its back with strips to hold the glass from movement with relation to the panel-opening, and springs or cushions between the strips and the edges of the glass, substantially as and for the purpose described.
4. In combination with the panel -frame made of one piece ofwood,and provided with a suitablepanel-opening, the glass sheet or plate overlapping the rear edges of the opening, means, substantially as described, for engaging and holding the edges of the glass which run across the grain of the wood, and springs pressed against and holding the other sides or edges of the glass, substantially as and for the purpose described.
5. In combination with the sheet of glass having on its'front face the raised ornamental design in iiashed glass, the panel-frame made of one piece of wood, with the panel-opening cut therein, suitable shoulders on or attached to the back of the frame, adapted to engage the edges of the glass which run across the grain of the wood of the frame, andspringblocks or cushions engaging and holding the sides or edges of the glass ruiming with the grain, substantially as and for the purpose described.
(i. In combination with the ornamental sheet of glass, the panel-frame made of one piece of wood with the panel-opening cut therein, a packing of soft material between the frame and the front side of the glass, strips attached to the frame and engaging the sides of the glass sheet which run across thegrain of the panelstrips on the frame parallel to the other sides of the sheet, and spring-cushions between these latter strips and the sides of the glass, sube stantially as and for the purpose described.
7. In combination with the panel-frame A, provided with panel-opening C, the sheet of glass B, the cloth between the glass and the frame, the strips D D and D D', the rubber blocks d d between the sides of the glass, and strips D D/, the cloth back of the glass fastened to the strips and the board backing G, all substantially as and for the purpose described.
In testimonythat I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 2d day of October, A. D. 1885.
GHAUNCEY D. PEASE.
