HENRY E. HERRICK, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.
HOUSE-NUMBERING DEVICE.
Application led March 30, 1922.
To all who/u t may concern.'
Be known that I, HENRY E. HERRICK. a citizen ol' the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful House-Numbering Device, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a novel illuminating house numbering device having a novel reflector and having a novel form of' casing. and the improved combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings. in which Figure l is a perspective view of the invention shown in use:
Fig. k2 is a perspective view of the device by itself;
Fig. 8 is a cross section online 3 3 ot' Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section on line 4 4 of' Fig. Il.
liike numerals indicate like parts in each of' the severall views.
Referring to the accompanying drawings. l provide a casing having a back 1 formed from a single strip of suitable material` preferably aluminum. and having a top 2, botom 4 and top flange Il and bottom flange 5. rl`l1e bottom member 4 is of less width than the top member Q. so that the number in the device may be very readily viewed by a person on the street. I provide a suitable strip of glass S. preferably clouded, on which the desired number il is displayed. The glass is held in place b v the ends 7 of' the curved reflector (l. the back of which abuts against the back portion 1 of the casing. l provide suitable blocks 1() engaging against the ends of curved reflector (S. and I further provide suitable end casing covers l1 of the same material` preferably alumi num. as the main casing. Positioned centrally in the casing l provide a suitable small electric. lamp bulb 12 which may be supplied with current from any suitable Serial No. 548,153.
source of current. To open the device to replace a burned out electric lamp, one of the covers 11 which frictionally engages the casing is removed, as is also the adjacent block'lt). The glass 8 may then be Withdrawn sufficiently to gain access to the lamp 12. and if found more convenient the reflecaluminum. the principal parts of the device being of' aluminum. which 1s of' light weight. .\s the top 2 is ot' greater Vwidth than the bottom portion 4 the glass number plate 8 is mounted in a forwardly slanting position which makes it convenient to read by a person on the sidewalk.
I also may use the device for displaying the name of a physician or other professional man. andthe lelement 9 shall be construed to apply to such a name if printed on'the glass S in lieu of a house number, or to both if both are displayed on thel glass in opaque lettering.
- What I claim is ln a house numbering device, the'combination of a metal casing having an open face. the top of' said casing being ot' greater width than the bottom portion thereof, end lasing covers suitably shaped to engage with and lremovably mounted on the ends of' the casing. a glass plate bearing a number mounted in the open face of the casing, a rectangular longitudinally curved reflec-y tor mounted in the casing and having its central portion abutting against the back of the casing and having its Vends abutting against the glass plate Ito hold same in place.. and au electric lamp mounted midway of the linterior of the casing.
