Application October 6, 1938, Serial No. 233,559 10 Claims. 01. 40-140 This invention relates to display boards or signs, and more particularly to a casing or signboard for displaying house numbers.
One of the objects of the invention is the provision'of a-newand improved reflector sign for indicating house numbers, and adapted to be located adjacent to the, curb in front of a house.
Anotheriobject of the invention is the provision of anew and improved sign having reflector ugulflii-s arrangedin a novel manner so that the driverbf a vehicle'may readily read a house number when driving in either direction past the s1gn.
A'still .furtherobject of the invention is the lZz;.rprovlsion: of a'new' and improved house number sign casing having novel means for securing the casing :in. operative position infront of a dwelling. oiiice, store, or other building.
A further object of the invention is the provision 'of anew and improved sign board or re.'
fl'ector sign casing that is inexpensive to manu facture, easily installed, efiicient in. operation, and one in which the numbers may be readily changed when desired. Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description; taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in. which Fig.1 is. a perspective view of a portion of a 393:501661? and private walk leading. thereto, and
showing the invention in position relatively thereto;
Fig. 2 is aperspective View of the device shown on an'enlarged scale, andwith parts broken away;
3 is a section on the line 3-'-3 of Fig. i; Fig. is a longitudinal section of the house number sign device;
Fig. 5 is a section onthe line 5--5-of Fig. 4;
and or Fig. dis a section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 4.
It is often difficultioranyone. to locate the house or street number'of a house or residence, due to the fact that there is no uniformity in the position or location of these numbers. At 45,some residences the numbers are on the door, some above or below the door, some on the steps or on the curb in front of the house, and still others may be located on. trees in the yard in front of thehouse or on a column or gate post in 1 front of. thehouse; Thistmakes it extremely difficult for any one driving an automobile along the street to find the desired number, even in the daytime, and becomes extremely difiicult, ii
not impossible in many instances, if it is at- V tempted at night.
The present invention seeks to remedy these difficulties by providing a residence number sign that is adapted to be located adjacent to the curb in front'of the dwelling, and be so constructed that the numbers will be plainly visible to a driver or occupant of a car driving along the street past the sign, during the night time as well as duringthe day.
Referring now to the drawings, the reference character it designates the reflecting house num.-. ber sign which is adapted to be mounted on a post i i, securedin the ground adjacent to. the junction of the street l2 and the front walk .53 of a dwelling. The street 82 is provided with the usual curb l4, and the sign i0 is arranged with its longitudinal axis transversely to the curb It, as shown in Fig. 1.
The sign or sign device comprises a sectional frame ZlLhaving a bottom plate, lower member, lower section, or base IE, to which is adapted to be detachably connected'an upper section or member having depending arms forming an inverted U-shaped frame member It, as by means of screws or bolts IT, or the like, extending through the ends of the plate l5 and tapped into the lower ends of the depending arms of the upper member. In order to prevent unauthorized removal of the U-fra-me it from the plate E5, the plate member is provided with recesses 8 for receiving the heads of the screws or bolts H, and the bolts are provided with Allen or-socket heads whereby a tool for engagingin the socket is required for removing the bolts.
In order to properly position the frame member E6 on the plate 85 (Figs. 4 and 5) the latter has at each end thereof an upwardly extending curved flange 40, forming a vertically extending groove I or recess for receiving a vertically extending bead or rib 353 on the depending arms of the frame member I 6.
v The plate I5 is provided with a central opening l5, for detachably receiving the upper end of the supporting post ll. Suitable means are provided for rigidly attaching the plate to the standard. In the form of construction selected to illustrate one embodiment of the invention, a wedge-block 2! is employed for this purpose. At one side of the opening I9 the plate is provided with a wedging or inclined surface 22, and-with a depending portion 23, which is provided with an opening Mfor receiving a bolt or screw 25. The bolt is threaded into the block 2!, and when tightened pulls the wedge-block 2| downward for. clamping the post I l against the opposite walliof the opening IQ for locking the casing 2G to said post. The projection 23 is preferably, though not necessarily, provided with a depending flange 26, which extends about the head of the screw so that access may be had to the head thereof only with a special tool for engaging in an angular recess 2? in the head of the bolt or screw 25. This arrangement will prevent unauthorized removal of the set-screw and the entire sign device from the post H.
The wedge-block 2| is provided on one end with an inclined surface 28, corresponding to the inclined surface 22 on. the plate l5, with which it is adapted to engage. The inner end of the clamping block 2i is provided with a recess 29, which is adapted to be forced into clamping engagement with the supporting post I 5. When it is desired to attach the sign device to the post H the screw 25 is released to permit the release of the wedge-block 2i, and after the post is inserted in the opening l9 the screw 25 is turned an inclined surface 23, corresponding to the inclined surface 22 and clamp the post H for locking the sign device in position on the post.
Suitable means are provided for mounting reflecting insignia or sign units within the frame of the sign device. In the form of construction shown, the bottom plate l and the inverted U- shaped frame member 16 are provided with flanges 3!, 32 respectively, which extend in common planes at each side of the device and define openings 33 (Figs. 2 and 3) through which the reflecting sign units 34 may be seen. These flanges prevent the outward movement of the reflecting units.
The plate [5 is provided with a plurality of projections 35 at each side edge thereof for engaging the rear face of the reflecting units 34 for holding the lower edge of same from moving inwardly. Likewise the upper horizontal portion of the inverted U-shaped frame member i6 is provided with a plurality of projections 36 (see Figs, 3 and 4), which are adapted to engage the upper edges of the reflecting units 34 for holding the units in position within the frame.
The projections 35, 36, are longer than the width of the flanges 3t, 33, so that by partially releasing the bolts I! and raising the frame member sufficiently to permit the upper portion of the flange 3! to clear the units, but not far enough to clear the projections, the intermediate units may be easily removed and the end units may then be removed by first sliding them laterally from behind the flange 33 extending downwardly across the end of the frame 26, after which it may be removed.
In the construction illustrated four reflecting numerals are shown, but it is understood that by increasing or reducing the length of the frame any number of units may be employed. By the use of blank units in a frame any number may be represented within the capacity of the frame. For instance, if the capacity of the frame is four units, a number with two digits could be represented by using a blank unit at each side of the number units.
Each of the units 34 has a single character thereon, and each is of the reflecting type now on the market. These units as now constructed each comprises a glass plate 31, having its rear face silvered as at 37a to outlinethe number or character to be reflected and the whole back surface covered with paint or other opaque substance as at 31b. In order that the units may be changed to correspond with any particular house number, each unit is mounted separately in a metal frame 38, so that the same may be removed from the casing or sign device In and be replaced by another unit when desired. The front face of the glass is provided with innumerable small hemispherical projections for diffusing the light, as is usual in such constructions. Since other commercial types may be used, and since the details of the reflecting units constitute no part of the present invention, it is not thought necessary to further illustrate or describe the same.
In order that the rays from an automobile headlight, or other vehicle in the street, falling on the units 34, shall be reflected to the eyes of the driver or occupant of the vehicle, the units on each side are so arranged that the planes of these units converge toward the curb and also converge upwardly. This is accomplished by making the front end of the frame 20, or the end adjacent to the curb, narrower than its rear end, and making the upper wall of the casing. 28 narrower than the lower. In other words, the frame for the sign device has its sides tapering both forwardly or toward the street (Fig. 5) and upwardly, as shown in Fig, 3. By inclining the reflecting units both upwardly and forwardly light falling on the units will be reflected upwardly and outwardly toward the street, whereby the house numbers may be easily seen by the driver of a car passing along the street.
When the reflecting units are all in place on the frame 2d, a hollow casing, closed on all sides, including the top and bottom, is formed. If desired, suitable openings 59 may be provided in the base plate l5 for draining water that may collect in the casing.
It is thought from the foregoing, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, that the construction and operation of my device will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and that changes in size, shape, proportion and details of construction may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
