Description: |
Claim:
My invention relates to an improvement in clock-dials, the object being to provide a paper dial with a metallic rim or scalp, secured in such a manner that the outer edges of the paper dial will be held snugly against the inwardly projecting flange of the metallic rim or scalp, and thus dispense with a metallic back for securing and retaining the paper dial in place; and to this end my invention consists, first, in the combination with a paper dial, of a metallic rim or scalp secured at its inner edge only to the outer edge of the paper dial by prongs or clips connected with the metallic rim; second, in the combination, with a paper dial having notches in its outer edge, of a metallic rim or scalp having clips or prongs formed on its inner flange and integral therewith. said prongs or clips being engaged with the notches in the paper dial, and serving to secure the latter in place. |
