COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Shields for the Corners of Rooms, Staircases, and the like, to Prevent
the Accumulation of Dust and Dirt.
I GEORGE NASH 38 Stamford Hill London, N. Pianoforte Dealer 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 has for its object the complete shielding or covering of any angular
corner whatever to prevent the accumulation of dust & dirt.
For this purpose I prepare sheets of metal, gutta-percha, papier maché or other
suitable material and stamp them into equilateral isosceles or obtuse triangular
shapes with curved sides and with either concave or convex centres and a small
hole stamped in the centre of base of each triangle to enable it to be nailed or
screwed to the floor or having or not having ornamental borders or flanges.
For the purpose of covering a rectangular corner I make an equilateral triangular
shield.
For covering an acute angled corner I make an isosceles triangular shield.
For an obtuse angled corner, I make an obtuse angled shield, each and all having
curved sides with small hole at base and either concave or convex centres as
aforesaid so that any angular corner is thus rounded or curved and the brush used
in sweeping completely removes all particles of dust and thus prevents its
accumulation.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1. is a plain equilateral triangular shield with concave centre without
ornamental border or flange and will fit perfectly into any rectangular corner whatso-
ever, points A & B will rest on dotted lines radiating from D, and point C will
rest on the vertical line also radiating from D, E being the small hole at base for
fixing the shield.
Figure 2 is a similar triangular shield having an ornamental border or flange and
concave centre and will fit angle as Figure 1.
Figures 3 & 4 are equilateral triangular shields with convex centres with and
without ornamental borders.
