stiff enough to form when put together a sort of grid, rather than the
lighter construction which I have described as a net. In the latter
case, if the device were to be used where not exposed to wind and water,
it might be unnecessary to in any manner further treat the product for
the purpose of making it water or wind tight. Of course, as previously
suggested, this method and these appliances for mounting may be employed
in connection with any sort of tile or prism sections, and I use the
term "tile-sections" broadly, so as to include not only prism-lights,
as shown, and prism-tile, but also all other kinds of sections for which
they are applicable. I have shown the strips of the net as running at right angles to each other; but obviously this need not always be true, and will depend upon the form of the prism lights or sections. For example, in the case of prism-lights of hexagon shape the warps would be zigzag in shape. Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is— 1. A prism-plate comprising a series of |
prism-lights each having a receiving-surface on one side and a
prism-surface on the other, and a supporting net or frame composed of
strips beaded on one edge, the beads on one set of strips being placed
on the receiving side of the prism-lights at an angle to the prisms,
and the beads on the other set of strips placed on the prism side of
the sections parallel to such prisms. 2. A plate comprising a series of substantially flat sections combined with a supporting net or frame consisting of strips beaded on one edge, the strips running in one direction having the bends on one side of the sections, and the strips running across the first-mentioned strips having their beads on the opposite sides of said sections, and the whole secured together substantially as shown and described. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 20th day of March, 1897.
