Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 27, 1906.
Application filed May 29, 1905. Serial No. 262,913.
T0 at whom it may concern."
Be it known that I, OHARLEs A. PETERsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Salt Lake City, in the county of Salt Lake and State of Utah, have invented new and useful Improvements in Signs, of which the following is a specification.
The primary object of this invention is to produce a sign which with a given intensity of artificial light will radiate the light more brightly than signs as ordinarily constructed and that will also prove strong and conspicuous as a daylight-sign.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.
Figure 1 is a plan view of a portion of a sign, showing one letter and its immediate surroundings complete; and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same, taken on line at x of Fig. 1.
The various features of the device are referred to by letters, similar letters denoting v corresponding parts in both the views.
The letter a designates a signboard, there being preferably one board to each letter or other character comprising the sign, and the boards are connected one to the other by any desired means.
C is the base for each letter. It is preferably hollow and has beveled edges 0.
6 indicates a hollow open letter set up edgewise upon the base C and secured to it in any desired manner.
Within the base outline of each letter apertures c c are made through the base for the electric bulb d or other luminary. On the outer edge of each letter and entirely around it there is an upwardly and outwardly inclined plane or flat flange f, and additionally when desired I form upon the outer edge of the flange f an outwardly and downwardly inclined flange 9. The interior of the letters is finished in White enamel, and the upper 1surffaces of the flanges are finished in gold- The flange f in particular and to some eX- tent the flange g reflect the artificial light and give a beautiful softened outline to the white glare of the letters, while in daylight the gilt flanges become a strong sign, novel, artistic, and conspicuous.
What I claim, and desire to secure, is
1. A sign comprising a board for each character on the sign, a letter-base having. beveled edges on each of said boards, hollow letters set up on edge on said bases, lights insaid letters projecting through apertures in said bases, upwardly and outwardly inclined flanges f on the outer edges of said letters and outwardly and downwardly inclined flanges g on the outer edges of said flanges f, as described.
2. A sign comprising letter-bases, hollow letters set up on edge on said bases, lights in said letters projecting through a ertures in said bases, upwardly and outwar ly inclined flanges f on the outer edges of said letters and outwardly and downwardly inclined flanges on the outer edges of said flanges f, as herein set forth.
In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
CHARLES A. PETERSON.
