COMPO CAP FOR MANTEL-COLU MNS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 691,635, dated January 21, 1902. Application filed September 3, 1901. Serial No. 74,248. (No model.)
- To all whom it" may concern:
Be it known that I, EDGAR S. KENNEDY, a resident of Washington,District of Columbia, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Oompo Gaps for Mantel-Colo mns, which invention is fully set forth in the following specification.
My invention relates to caps for mantel-columns, and more particularly to such caps as are formed of a composition in imitation of wood and knownin the art as compo caps. These compo caps are much cheaper than carved wooden caps, which they are made to imitate, and as heretofore constructed they have been built up out of separate pieces assembled around and attached toa central body by means of glue or otherwise. This manner of constructing compo caps is radicallydefective, because the separate parts of which the cap is composed become'loose and fall off. Moreover, much time and labor is involved in building up such a cap, so that it is more expensive than it should be.
The object of the present invention is to provide a compo cap for mantel and other columns which can be cheaply and quickly manufactured and which will remain solid and intact during the life of the mantel. With this object in view the invention consists in an integrally-formed compo cap for mantelcolumns. I also combine with said integral compo cap means for conveniently securing it to the top of the column. Preferably said fastening means is in the form of a block of wood embedded in the cap, through which block a screw, nail, or other like device extends into the column. In some cases the block may be omitted and the screw, nail, or like device embedded direotlyin the body 0 the cap.
The invention is not limited to anyparticular form or style of cap, which may be of the Ionic, Corinthian, or any other desired style. In the accompanying drawings, which are designed to illustrate the inventive idea and not as defining the scope or limits of the invention, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cap made according to my invention. Fig. 2
is a central transverse section through Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view of a modification. Referring to the drawings, 1 is a molded Ionic compo cap formed in a single piece, 2
is a block of wood embedded therein, and 3 is an attaching device, here shown as a screw extending through the block of wood 2 and into the column 4: when the cap is placed in position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
The compo cap is formedby taking any suitable mold-such, for example, as that shown, described, and claimed in my application, Serial No. 74,249, filed of even date herewith filling the mold with a proper composition material, inserting the wooden block at the proper place, and subjecting the whole to pressure, by which means an integral molded compo cap is formed. I have found a composition consisting of a mixture of glue, resinoil, shellac,and whiting to be an excellent material out of which to mold the compo caps. If desired, theblock 2may be omitted and the screw or attaching means 5,Fig. 3, directly em bedded in' the body of the block, though I pro for the construction where the block is employed, as it is easier to properly mold the cap, saves material, and is more readily and efiectively applied to the column.
By constructing the cap as above described I an integral molded compo cap is secured which is cheaply made, is easily applied,and is as durable as a carved wooden cap and wholly free from the defects incident to built-' up compo caps heretofore employed.
What is claimed is 1. An integral, molded compo cap for mantel-columns, combined with means embedded in the body of the cap for securingit to the column.
2. An integral, molded compo cap for mantel-columns, said cap having a block of wood or similar material embedded therein.
3. An integral, molded fcompo cap for mantel-columns, said cap having a block of wood or similar material embedded therein and means attaching the block to the column.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
EDGAR s. KENNEDY.
