We, JOHN GOODSON and WILLIAM GOODSON both of 213 Vauxhall Bridge
Road, in the County of Middlesex, Gas Fitting and Gas Burner Manufacturers,
do hereby declare the nature of our said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
ADVERTISING AND ORNAMENTAL TABLETS FOR ATTACHING TO LAMP GLOBES AND
SIMILAR ARTICLES," to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object the production of labels tablets or appliances
for advertising ornamental and other purposes so made and employed as to be
exceedingly attractive.
The Invention consists in making the labels or tablets of glass, shaped like a
segment of a hollow sphere, spheroid, or other suitable form, the inside curvature
of which corresponds with that of a globe, moon or shade of a gas, lamp, or electric
light. These labels or curved tablets are made of clear and coloured glass the clear
glass being superimposed upon the coloured one. The inside glass is then etched,
submitted to a sand blast, or otherwise subjected to an abrading action that will
remove the coloured from the clear glass according to any prearranged design.
Letters words, figures, ornaments and other devices may thus be produced and
when the label or tablet is supported by a hook or other appropriate contrivance
to the outside of a globe, moon or shade, the effect is very pleasing, the letters or
ornaments being semi-transparent are distinctly visible by day but are specially
attractive at night when the gas or lamp within the globe or shade is lighted.
These labels or tablets may be circular oval or of such other form as fancy or
good taste may dictate.

We JOHN GOODSON and WILLIAM GOODSON both of 213 Vauxhall Bridge
Road, in the County of Middlesex, Gas Fitting and Gas Burner Manufacturers,
do hereby declare the nature of our said Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
ADVERTISING AND ORNAMENTAL, TABLETS FOR ATTACHING TO LAMP GLOBES AND
SIMILAR ARTICLES," 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 production of labels, tablets or appliances
for advertising, ornamental and other purposes, so made and employed as to be
exceedingly attractive.
The Invention consists in making the labels or tablets of glass, shaped like the
segment of a hollow sphere, spheroid, or other suitable form, the inside curvature
of which corresponds with that of a globe, moon or shade of a gas, oil lamp, or
electric light. These labels or curved tablets are made of clear and coloured glass,
the clear glass being superimposed upon the coloured one. The inside glass is then
etched, submitted to a sand blast, or otherwise subjected to an abrading action
that will remove the coloured from the clear glass, according to any pre-arranged
design. Letters, words, figures, ornaments or other devices may thus be produced
on the tablet, and when the label or tablet is supported by a hook, or other
appropriate contrivance, to the outside of a globe, moon, or shade, the effect is
very pleasing, the letters or ornaments being semi-transparent are distinctly visible
by day being surrounded by the coloured glass, but are especially attractive at
night when the gas or other illuminant within the globe or shade is lighted.
These labels or tablets may be circular, oval, or of such other form as faucy or
good taste may dictate.
In order that the foregoing may be more easily understood Drawings are
attached hereto, Fig. 1 being a front elevation of the tablet, and Fig. 2 a side
elevation. That part of the Drawing left clear exhibits the letters, while the
portion that is shaded represents the dark or coloured glass part of the tablet.
The words on the tablet in the Drawing have no connection with the Invention,
but are used merely to illustrate it.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be perforined, we declare that what
we claim is
The construction of labels or tablets made of coloured and uncoloured glass
curved and arranged as herein described and shown on the Drawings.
