DESIGN FOR A SCREEN-DOOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 23,338, dated June 5, 1894.

Application filed April 2'7, 1894. Serial No. 509,276. Term ofpatrnt 7 years.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD M. KEMP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rhinelander, in the county of Oneida and State of \Visconsin, have invented a certain new and original Design for Screen-Doors; andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescriptiou of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The accompanying drawing represents a front elevation ofa screen-doorshowing my deigh. The leading features of the latter are, lirsta series of upright parallel parts having the appearanceof slender molded posts or rods between two transverse bars; second, a pair of crossed parts having the appearance of bars rounded and decorated, arranged in the form of a St.Andrews cross and bisecting through each diameter a rectangular space bordered by framework having inwardly projecting decorated knobs or cones; third the bacle ground of reticulated screen surface against which they stand.

A represents the exterior elongated rectangular upright frame of the door, 13 the screen inclosed therein, 0, a horizontal bar extending across the screen from side to side of the frame near the middle,Ea bar similar thereto and arranged parallel therewith below it, F a series of slender upright grooved and molded rods or posts connecting these bars and G a pair of long rods or rounded bars arranged in the form of a St. Andrews cross, bisecting through both diameters, and dividing into four V shaped spaces the square space formed by bar E and the bottom and lower part of the sides of the frame. From the middle of each of the four sides of this square space a decorative cone or pointed knob if, having a head or collar h around it, projects into the said space. At the point of crossing of the bars G an annular bead or raised ornalnental ring 5 is formed and the parts of the said bars next it as shown at g have a flattenedappearanee, [luted,ridgedor grooved in parallel lines, so that the central part of the And rews cross appears approximately like a star having four broad rays. From this, four arms diverge to the cornerof the square each consisting of one end ofone of the crossed bars G and having a rounded molded tapering form like that of some table legs.

A black border surrounds the upper part of the screen within the frame above the bar 0. lllack lines d between the ends of the crossed bars G and decorative cones or knobs II make a broken border of similar nature about the lower square of the screen. These black borders set off more distinctly the pleasing contours of the design. The reticulated surface of the screen forms an attractive background. The crossed rods in their ornamented square combine artistically with the horizontal bars and intervening series of small up right molded posts above them, yet each of these two leading features has a distinct value as part of a design.

In describing the said design, I do not wish to be understood as claimingthe material, nor any mechanically useful part as such; but merely as employing terms intended to convey to the mind of the reader clearly, fully and minutely the distinguishing features of the decorative design itself.

Having thus described. my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by design Letters Patent, is

The design for a screen-door herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

EDXVARD M. KEMP.
