SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 27,492, dated August 3, 1897.
Application filed May 8, 1897. Serial No. 635,751. Term of patent 14 years.
To all whom it may concern:
    Be it known that I, JACOB JACOBS, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, and in the State of New York, have invented a certain new and original Design for a Lens for Illuminating-Gratings; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which—
    Figure 1 is a perspective view of a lens embodying my design, and Fig. 2 a cross-section of the same.
    Letters of like name and kind refer to like parts in each of the figures.
    The object of my invention is to provide a design for lenses for illuminating-gratings; and to this end said invention consists in the design for a lens, substantially as hereinafter set forth.
    The leading feature of my design consists of adjacent parallel ribs or prisms on the lens, one of which is slender, or narrow in cross-section, compared with the other. 		    The lens, as shown in the drawings, is in the form of a rectangular plate A, with one face plane and two straight parallel ribs or prisms B and C on its opposite face. Said ribs are triangular in cross-section, and one, B, projects farther from the plate than the other and has both of its sides inclined relative to the plate A and slightly curved. The inclination of said sides is slight, so that the rib is comparatively thin. The other rib, C, has its side adjacent to the rib B curved convexly and its other side curved concavely.
    Having thus described my invention, what I claim is—
    The design for a lens, substantially as set forth.
    In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 7th day of May, 1897.
JACOB JACOBS.
