The base consists of a narrow ilangc merging into the inclined side, and the latter terminates at the top with a raised margin or bead which in turn incloses a depressed panel, forming the top of the case or strike. The front of both the case and the strike is vertical, not inclined, and I prefer io make the upper edge of this front with a flat curve or arch, as shown. Finally, I provide at the rear of the case and of the strike a boss or ear projcctinglgieyond the marginal flange of the base and adapted to receive a screw.

Having thus described Iny invention, the following is what I elaiin as new therein and desire to secure hy Design Letters Patent:
