PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Sign Letters or Symbols.
I LUDWIG SCHLENTHEIM of 3 Leigh Villas, Cliff Town, Southend on Sea,
Mosaic Artist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to sign letters or symbols such as are commonly used on
the outside of business premises, shops, et ceteru; and my present improvements
consist in the improved method of constructing such letters or symbols so that they
may be very showy and at the same time very lasting as they are not liable to
tarnish or deteriorate from exposure to all weathers.
My invention is as follows:-
Suitable frames or bodies-of metal or other suitable material-of the shape or
configuration of the desired letters or symbols are formed (with concave or other
depressions or channels on the front side thereof or not as desired) and into such
channel et cetera or on the front of said frame or body I mount by cement or other
suitable means small pieces of Venetian glass (particularly that known as Venetian
enamel-Italian "smalti or glass having gold or other color embodied and
formed therein) enamel, marble, small tiles or ceramic ware, or any other suitable
material in small pieces or tessera after the manner of mosaic.
By this means I am enabled to produce a very striking and conspicuous sign
letter or symbol of an attractive character-the numerous lines or joins where
the small pieces of mosaic join adding to its brilliancy and attractiveness and
for outdoor purposes my invention will he found very applicable.
Another method of carrying out my present invention would be to cut out of a
plank or other surfaces the letters or symbols desired and then fill in such recessed
or channelled parts with mosaic work as before described whereby a similar effect
would be produced.
These improved letters or symbols may be mounted and fixed in position in any
desired and convenient, manner.
