Improvements in the Construction of Panes or Panels of Stained or
other Glass or other Transparent Material for Lamps, Sashes,
Casements, and like purposes.
I, CHARLES FITCHETT GRAY, of 139, Pershore Road, in the City of Birmingham,
Brassfounder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in forming the joints, grooves or framework for holding
the stained, tinted, or other glass lights in such a manner that some of the glass
lights shall take a raised form and project from the level surface of the panel or
pane, thereby forming and building out facets, pyramids, prisms or other pro-
jections so as to obtain a greater radiation or reflection of light.
By this method I not only obtain a greater radiation and brilliancy of light
but when using coloured glass lights I can arrange them so as to procure many
varied effects in the lights passing through the glass of the panel or pane.

Improvements) in the Construction of Panes or Panels of Stained or
other Glass or other Transparent Material for Lamps, Sashes,
Casements, and like purposes.
I, CHARLES FITCHETT GRAY, of 139, Pershore Road, in the City of Birmingham,
Brassfounder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement; -
This invention consists in forming the joints grooves or framework for holding
the stained, tinted, or other glass lights in such a manner that some of the glass
lights shall take a raised form and project from the level surface of the panel or
pane, thereby forming and building out facets pyramids prisms or other pro-
jections so as to obtain a greater radiation or reflection of light.
By this method I. not only obtain a greater radiation and brilliancy of light
but when using coloured glass lights I can arrange them so as to procure many
varied effects in the lights passing through the glass of the panel or pane.
I will now refer to the accompanying sheet of drawings to assist in the descrip-
tion of the invention.

page_text: Fig. 1 is a view in perspective of a simple form of panel suitable for the side
of a lamp consisting of glass framed in lead in accordance with my invention.
And Fig. 2 is a sectional view of same on line x-x.
The panel, consists partly of glass (a a) framed in lead (bb) in the ordinary way
and partly of glass (e c, d d) built out projecting from the plane of the panel pyra-
midically or as at (eef) or in any other form of panes of flat glass (or other trans-
parent material as a substitute therefor), built out in this manner.
It will be seen that by so arranging the panes at angles to the main surface and
to one another greater radiation and reflection of light will be obtained than by
the ordinary glazing, and when using glass of various tints and colours such as
stained glass the blending of the various coloured rays of light will be very
effective.
By constructing leaded panels in this way they will be much stronger by reason
of the form of the surface enabling thein to resist much greater pressure.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:

stantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
