Complete Specification Left, 18th May, 1898-Accepted, 18th June, 1898
I, JAMES CLYDE LOVE, of 79, Finnieston Street, in the County of the City of
Glasgow, Wood Carver, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has reference to and comprises improvements in the construction
of glass tablets for advertising purposes on to the inside of which the advertise-
ments are painted or otherwise affixed and which are cemented or otherwise secured
on to window panes or other sheets of glass.
The improvements consist in forming a sheet of glass with an annular curved
projection and a small flat flange around its rim by which it may be cemented or
otherwise secured on to the window pane. The flat centre part within the annular
projection is raised or so formed that it will not come in contact with the glass
to which the tablet is attached.
The annular projection is intended to have the shape of one half of a lifebuoy
and when the advertising matter is painted or otherwise affixed to the interior of
the tablet the representation of a lifebuoy with its cords may be completed or the
annular projection may be ornamented in any desired manner.
These tablets are produced by compressing sheets of glass either before cooling
or after reheating between moulds preferably of wood.
