EDMUNDMORRIS, `OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
METHOD OF MAKING DOOR PLATES AND OF SEPARATE TYPES OR LETTERS fspeciacation of Letters Patent No. 3,565, dated Aprii 25, 18,44..
To all whom tlm/ay concern'. i
` Be it known that I, EDMUND Moliets, o the city of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania,
have invented a new and Improved Mode of Constructing Plates for Doors, Signs, Trunks, and other` `Articles Requiring Marks or Numbers; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full and eXact description.
The nature of my invention consists in the forming of permanent plates or signs out of separate movable letters, the same be` ing secured in two dilferent` ways; and to enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed todescribe its construction and operation. y
The letters of which Vthe plates or signs are composed, are cast in relief each on a separate piece of metal (as is represented in the Figure No. l, accompanying this) the said pieceshaving on each end of them a rabbet cut out from the same side or face which holds the letter'. These letters are drop ded into a rabbet on the back side of a border, either plain or ornamental (as shown in Fig. `2) the rabbets on the letters and borders being made to tit into each other, and the blank spaces before `or `after the letters, or between the words, being filled with pieces of metal similarly rabbeted, so as to fill up the entirespace between the ends of the border forming the plate or sign. Vhen the letters and blanks have been adjusted `in the order desired, a block of mahogany or other wood is placed against the back of the plate, and screwed fast to the same, thus keeping the letters and blanks rmly in their places. This block is then screwed to the door or place where it is intended to be affixed', in the ordinary way. Gr instead ofthe pieces which contain the letters being furnished with rabbets, the lat` ter may be omitted (as shown in Fig. 3) and the letter being dropped into the rabbet on the back side of the border, if made of the proper thinness, the effect will be the same; for in either case the back of the letters will come flush with the back of the. plate or border, so that the ordinary woorden block will keep the whole in their places.
`Another mode of accomplishing' the same result, which I have invented, is as follows- The letters arecast in relief, on a piece beveled at each end as shown in Fig. 4t). These letters are slid like adovetail, into grooves cut to lit the beveled ends, said grooves being formed in two beads attached to a flat piece of metal, (as shown in Fig. 5) the entire piece, that is Fig. 5, being cast with the beads on it, but the grooves being afterwards cut out by a tool made for that purpose. The four sides, or the two sides and two ends ofF ig. 5, are also beveled, and the whole piece, thus furnished with the desired name, is dropped into the back side of a plate as shown in Fig. 6) with a hole cut in its center, and the hole beveled to fit Fig. The back of the two thus come flush, and No. 5 is keptin its place by being affixed to the ordinary wooden block used for door plates. The letters when adjusted in Fig. 5, are kept from sliding out at either end, by a border cast in relief on the edge of the plate (as shown in Fig. 7 the blank pieces of metal extending from the letters, both ways until they touch the embossed or raised border. In both cases, the joints between the letters and blanks are concealed by the ground work being tinted with deep parallel lines.
What I claim as my invention, and desire te secure by Letters Patent, is-
The manner of securing the letters in plates or signs, so to construct both of the latter out of movable types or letters. y EDMUNI) MORRIS. Vitnesses:
