METALLIC STRIP-Y-iVlOLDING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 711,788, dated October 21, n1902.

Application filed March 27, 1902.

To @ZZ whom t may concern.:

Be it known that I, DAVID REYAM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Metallic Strip-Moldings, of which the 'following is a full, clear, and eX- act description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification. l

My invention relates to metallic wall-coverings.

It has for its object the provision of a metallic strip-molding without open joints and without visible means of attachment to its support and adapted to be applied to its support after the latter is secured to the wall and in arranging such metallic molding in a specific relation to the iat metallic covering overlying the flat Wall.

It is customary in aftixing metallic moldings to their supports to apply the same thereto in strips and secure the same by nails or other fastenings. In my invention the joints are entirely concealed and no nails or other fastenings are used to hold the molding in place.

In the drawings,Figure lis a transverse sectional view of the metallic strip-molding and a portion of the wall-covering after the same have been placed in position. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same. Fig. 3 is an edge ing placed in position.

A is the wall.

B is a wooden molding secured thereto byv nails or by any other desired means.

C is the flat enameled metallic covering overlying the flat wall.

D is a thin enameled metallic resilient strip having extensions d and d bent at an angle to the upper and lower portions of the strip.

face of the wooden molding, except that the inwardly-extending top portion thereof is bent somewhat downwardly, so that before being placed on the wooden molding the strip embraces a smaller space than is comprised in the bulk of the wooden molding itself.

In applying the metallic strip D to the molding the extension d is inserted between the molding B and the wall A, and the strip then Serial No. 100,224. (No model.)

snaps forwardly against the molding B and wall A, being held thereagainst by its own resiliency. If desired and there is sufficient room for the purpose, the strip D may be slid endwise upon the molding B. The flat metallic covering O is then applied, the upper portion thereof overlying the depending eX- tension d.

The solid molding, which forms a base for holding the metallic strip, may be composed of any suitable material. Cement may be applied to the case-molding before the application of the metallic strip-molding, but it is not essential. The depending strip d may, if desired, be nailed or fastened in any other suitable manner to the wall.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with a wall, of a molding secured thereto, a resilient metallic strip having a contour similar to the molding-but normally inclosing a smaller cubical space than the molding, said strip having an integral extension at one end adapted to be inserted'between the wall andthe 4molding, and an integral extension at the other end adapted to overlie that portion of the wall adjacent to the corresponding end of the molding, and a metallic covering overlying the wall and overlapping the last-named extension.

2. InKY combination with a wall, of a molding secured thereto, a resilient metallic strip of contour similar to the molding and having an integral extension at one end adapted to be inserted between the Wall and. the molding whereby said strip may be applied to said molding after the latter has been fastened to the wall, and an integral extension at the other end of the strip adapted to overlie that portion of the wall adjacent to the corresponding end of the molding and a metallic covering overlying the wall and overlapping the last-named extension.

In testimony of which invention I have hereunto set my hand, at Philadelphia, on this 18th day of March, 1902.

DAVID REYAM. lVitnesses:

M. F. ELLIS, M. M. HAMILTON.
