EYELETED ENAMELED SIGN.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 1, 1910.
Application filed March 7, 1910. Serial No. 547,795.
lowing is a specification.
My invention relates to enameled signs having therein holes to receive sign-holding devices, as screws, hooks, rings, or the like.
The object of my invention is to furnish reinforcing eyelets to embossed holes in enameled metallic plates, particularly for use as signs but not restricted thereto.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of a sign equipped with improvements; Fig. 2, a transverse section through an embossed enameled hole in a plate; Fig. 3, a section similar to Fig. 2 but showing in section an eyelet in the hole before the eyelet is swaged or made to fit the walls in and about the hole; and Fig. 4, a similar section showing the eyelet in its final or permanent position.
On the drawings, 1 represents the sign as a whole, which consists of the central body 2 of steel or other metal coated on both sides and its edges with the enamel 3. The metal plate 2 is first provided with flanged holes,
one hole 4 being shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 4.
In forming these holes the central portion is punched out and the metal around the hole is forced out beyond the general surface of the plate to form flanged bosses 5, one being shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 4.
As shown in Fig. 3, I placein each hole 4 a non-corrosive eyelet 6 having a tubular body 7 provided at one end only with the flange 8, which is seated over the upturned edges, or the top of the walls, around the hole. Preferably, the outer edge of the flange 8 is turned down slightly to give the same a cup-shape, the said edge standing preferably a little distance from the surface of the sign in all directions. The cylinder 7 of the eyelet is by a suitable tool expanded so as to tightly fit the wall of the hole as shown in Fig. 4. Also the flange 8 is drawn down over the boss or flanged wall so as to fit the surface of the sign around the boss. When the flange is made to fit over the end of the said wall and against the enamel on the outer face of the said wall, it will have an annular cup-like shape. I have shown the plate 2 covered with enamel at all places adjacent to the eyelet, but it is clear that the enamel might be omitted from the flanged edge of the plate around the hole and that it might be omitted, removed, or reduced in thickness at all places adjacent to the eyelet, but the edges of the flange 8 and the bottom of the expanded cylinder 7 preferably rest on the enamel.
The eyelets when made and secured substantiall as shown in Fig. 4 prevent the enamel rom cracking or scaling off around the holes, and, consequently, the sign from becoming streaked with iron-rust below or around the hole. The cup-like flanges on the eyelets embrace the enamel so as to protect it and give the sign a more attractive finish. The eyelets also furnish additional stiffness to the walls around the holes in the sign.
I do not limit myself to the use of eyelets .of the precise form shown either before or after their application to signs or equivalent articles.
I claim:
The combination of an enameled plate having a hole surrounded by a flanged wall enameled on both sides, and an eyelet therein, said eyelet having a body lying within the flanged wall and tightly fitting against the enamel on the same and having at one end an annular cup-like flange fitting over the end of the said flanged wall and against the external face of the latter whereby the cracking of the enamel around the said hole is prevented, the eyelet is fixedly held in the hole, and the said wall reinforced.
