ADVERTISING-SIGN'AND ART OF AKING SAME.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 660,283, dated October 23, 1900.
Application filed August 1 1900. 6e] ial No- Z6,568. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRANK TUOHFARBER, a
citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Advertising- Signs and Art of Making Same, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain improvements in the art of making signs, and particularly in the manufacture of that class of signs wherein are produced a frosted and a polished surface effect; and the object of the invention is, in part, to improve and simplify the process of. making such signs whereby the expense of manufacture is reduced, and, in part, to provide a sign of this kind having frosted and polished surfaces which shall present a better and more highly-finished ap pearance than signs of this kind as heretofore made. 7
The invention consists in first producing upon a sheet or piece of metalor other mate-' rial of which the sign is formed alternating surfaces of a smooth or polished and of a dull or mat nature, then applying a coat of varnish or the like over said polished and dull surfaces, and finally applying upon the coat of varnish, before the same has been thoroughly dried, the metal leaf, whereby by a single application of metal leaf the finished sign is caused to present alternating polished and frosted surfaces.
The invention also contemplates certainnovel features of the improved sign whereby an improved appearance is imparted thereto and a very material economy is permitted in its manufacture, all as will be hereinafter fully set forth.
The novel features of the invention will be carefully defined in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, which serve to illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is a partial face view showing a sign made according to my invention, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken through the improved sign and showing the arrangement of the several coats thereof.
In carrying out my invention I first produce upon the piece or sheet 1 of metal or be usually applied by printing, and after it is properly dried a coat 7 of varnish or the like is next applied over the polished or smooth and dull or mat surfaces of the signbody 1, so as to cover all of the surfaces to which it is desired the metal leaf should adhere. Before the coat 7 of varnish has be- .come completely dried or hardened the gold or other metal leaf is laid over it, as indicated at 4, and is held' in place upon the sign by adherence to said varnish, so as to produce over the smooth or polished surfaces of the sign-body a smooth or polished appearance, as shown at 5 on the drawings, and over the dull or mat surfaces of the sign-body a dull or frosted appearance, as shown at6 011 the drawings. The coat 7 of varnish will usually be applied over the smooth and dull surfaces of the sign-body l by printing, and when desired said coat 7 may be omitted at points, as shown at 8, so as to permit the smooth or polished surface 2 of the sign to appear at suitable points uncovered by the metal leaf, and thus improve the appearance of the sign.
My improvements, as above described, permit of producing the polished and frosted appearances upon the sign with a single laying or application of the metal leaf, so that a very considerable economy is efiected not only in the time consumed in laying the leaf, but also in the cost of the leaf itself, and it will also be seen that the improved sign constructed according to my invention is not merely less expensive, but also has a more perfect and finished appearance than is possible to be given signs of this character made in other ways. It will also be obvious from the above description that the improved process is capable of some modification without material departure truth the principles and spirit of ihe invention, and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise order of the operations herein set forth.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. The herein-described process of making signs which consists in first producing upon the sheet or piece upon which the sign is to be formed, alternate surfaces of a smooth or polished and of a dull or mat nature, then applying a coat of varnish over said polished and dull surfaces, and upon the front face of the sign and finally, before said varnish has over said polished and mat surfaces and a layer of metal leaf applied on said varnish and upon the front face of the sign, substantially as set forth.
Signed by me at Cincinnati, Ohio, this 9th day of August, 1900.
FRANK 'l UG-HFARBER.
