SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 380,026, dated March 27', 1888. Application filed June 21, 1887. Serial No. 241,961. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD A. DUBEY, of Brooklyn, Kings county, New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in 5 Signs, of which the following is a full, clear,
and exact description.
The object of my invention is to provide a sign for outdoor use which will be strong and durable and resist the action of the elements.
The invention consists in placing a piece of strong fabric, having the desired symbols produced thereon, between sheets of mica r isinglass, and in means for holding the parts together.
I The invention also consists in placing a stencil between the fabric and one of the sheets of mica or isinglass, and in details more fully hereinafter set forth.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification,
- in which- Figure 1 is a face view of my improved sign, parts being broken away. Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 of a modification. Fig. 3 is a section on line 0 c, Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a section on line k k, Fig. 2. A
A in the drawings represents a piece of strong fabric, preferably that known as tracing-cloth. This tracing-cloth A may have produced upon it letters, figures, or symbols by painting or in any other desired manner.
The fabric A is covered on bothsides by sheets of mica .or isinglass, a a. mica a may be secured to the cloth A'in any desired manner. In the drawings, which represent a sign to be used in street-lamps,the
sheets a a and A are held in aframefiiwhich.
frame consists of strips ofpgetal, rlrbher, orother suitable material folded over, as at d d, to emlike. Having now described my invention, what I oo The sheets of brace the edges of the sign. This gives a very 4c strong and durable sign, and one which will withstand the effects of the, elements to a great extent. This sign will also be found trglslpgentand useful for a great many purposes, especially as a sign for street-lamps.
In the modification shown in Figs. 2 and 4 I place a stencil-plate, 6, having the desired symbols cut therein, between a sheet a of mica or isinglass and the piece of fabric A. When the stencil e is used, the painting on fabric A may be dispensed with. Instead of holding the sign in the frame B, it may be carried in "any other suitable manner. The'flexible fa'bricA, placed againstthe mica sheets a a, reriddf'sthem strong and practically indestructible. The mica sheets, on the other hand, protect the fabric between them from injury by moisture, dust, heat, and'the claim is-- 1. A flexible sign which consists of a piece of fabric, A, having letters or symbols pro duced thereon, and continuous sheets of mica or isinglass a a, placed on both sides of said fabric to completely cover the same, as set forth.
2. In a flexible sign,'the combination of the translucent fabric A, having the letters or symbols produced upon it, and continuous sheets of mica a or, placed on both sides of same, so as to completely cover said fabric, with the frame B, asset forth.
EDWARD A. DUBEY.
