Patents: 403 of 530	UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE. OLIN H. BASQUIN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO THE LUXFER PRISM PATENTS COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE. DESIGN FOR A PRISM-LIGHT.	Olin H. Basquin 28 of 28 Luxfer: 36 of 88
SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 27,969, dated December 7, 1897. Application filed October 23, 1897. Serial No. 656,223. Term of patent 14 years.

To all whom it may concern:     Be it known that I, OLIN H. BASQUIN, citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented and produced a certain new and useful Design for Prism-Lights, of which the following is a description.     My invention relates to designs for prism-lights.     Figure 1 is a plan view of a prism-light embodying my design; Fig. 2, a section therethrough.     A is the body of the prism-light; B B, a series of prisms on one side thereof placed at a certain angle; C C, a series of other prisms at a different angle on the same side of the light and arranged so as to form a design. When seen from the prism side, a prism-surface is presented composed of a field of prisms of a

certain angle and a figure or design formed of other prisms of a different angle, and when viewed from the other side of the plate the sets of prisms are distinguishable from each other, so as to produce a field and a design therein.     The essential features of my design are found in a prism-light comprising a substantially flat body with prisms on one side, some of the prisms at a given angle to form field, and the remaining prisms set at a different angle to form a design.     I claim--     The design for a prism-light, substantially as shown and described. OLIN H. BASQUIN. Witnesses:     FRANK L. WRIGHT,     C. A. LONGFELLOW.
