ENOCH OHNSTRAND, OF dAMESTOWN, NEW
YORK, ASSIGNOR TO ART METAL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, OF JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK, A
CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.
METALLIC COLUMN.
SPECIFICATION forming part o f Letters Patent No. 758,331, dated April 26, 1904. Application filed February 20,1903. Serial No. 144,220. (No model.)
To will whom, it 7mo/y concern:
Be it known that I, vENooH OHNSTEAND, a resident of Jamestown, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Metallic Columns; andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof. j
My invention relates to metallic posts, pillars, columns, or like supports adapted to be used in connection with the construction of metallic furniture, stairways, or other such structures.
The object of my invention is to provide a metallic post or pillar which may be formed of sections of plate or sheet metal, the sections being so connected as to provide a light ornamental structure Without the use of rivets or other connecting devices, which increase the cost of construction and at the same time tend to detract from the .appearance of the linished post or pillar. v
To these 'ends my invention'comprises, generalljr stated, a post, pillarfor like support, formed of webs or sections of plate or sheet metal, each web having one edge portion bent to form a rib or like enlargement, and the other edge portion bent to form an encircling or tubular extension of larger size, which fits around the rib of the adjoining Web in lsuch manner as to form a secure connection between the diferent webs without the use of any fastening devices, and so that to all appearance the post or pillar is made of an integral piece of metal.v
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, Iwill describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a view of a portion of a table with my invention applied thereto, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross-section of the post or pillar.
Like numerals indicate like parts in each of the figures.
Thile I have illustrated my invention in the accompanying drawings in connection with a table, I Wish to include Within the scope of my invention all other articles of furniture Whether movable or stationary.
The numeral 2 indicates a portion of the top of a suitable table, which is provided with the leg or standard 3. The leg 3 is made up of the four side pieces or webs 1i, 5, 6,- and 7.
These side pieces are constructed of plate or sheet metal of the proper thickness, each side piece .having a rib or like enlargement 8 formed along one edge thereof, the other edge having a corresponding encircling tubular extension 9 formed thereon slightly larger in diameter than the rib 8 and greater than a semicircle to fit around the rib of the adjoining side piece. The inner ribs 8 thus form air-spaces 8a at each corner.
Where the post or pillar consists of a foursided ligure, the four webs composing the same are united in the following manner: The web 4 is connected to the web 5 by the tubular extension 9 lof said web 4, inclosing or encircling the rib 8 of the web 5, the tubular extension 9, sliding over the'rib 8 of the web 5, the free end of the extension 9, as at 10, f1tting closely to the web 5, so that the. point of juncture between the web L and web 5 is scarcely visible. In the same manner the extension 9 of each vweb fits around the rib 8 of the adjoining web, so that when the four sides are united in the above manner a complete four-sided post or pillar is formed.
It is apparent that the posts may be made up of a different number of sides or Webs, such as triangular, hexagonal, octagonal, &c. The plain faces of the side may be ornamented,
if desired. The shapes of the ribs and tubu-A lar extensions may also be varied, according to the desire of the architect or builder. The ribs and tubular extensions may be formed along theedges of the webs by bending by suitable machinery.
By my invention I am able to` produce a metallic post or pillar which is light in construction and the parts are easily united Without rivets or other fastening means, which tend to mar the appearance of the finished piece of metal, and when linished to imitate mahogany or other hard-Wood finish there are no visible cracks or joints and a very rich and beautiful iinish may be obtained.
What I claim isl. A beam or column consisting of Webs or plates having tubulal1 margins of unequal diameter, the margin of the smaller inclosed Within the larger tubular margin of another web or plate.
2. rlhe combination with beams or pieces 2O having Webs provided With tubular margins, of other Webs or tie-pieces engaging the tubular margins. l
3. The combination of Webs or pieces having tubular margins with other Webs or pieces 25 having tubular beads Which engage the walls of said margins and afford air-spaces.
ln testimony whereof I, the said ENooH OHNSTRAND, have hereunto set my hand.
ENooH oHNsTRAND.
