Abstract
Abstract Simulated beveled and leaded glass products which include flat-bottomed, beveled grooves formed in the front surface of a pane of glass or plastic, forming design segments of unrelieved thickness surrounded by beveled grooves, and a plurality of lead strips bonded to the flat bottom walls of the grooves, thus enclosing the design segments and simulating beveled and leaded glass.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A simulated beveled and leaded glass window structure comprising; a. a pane of substantially clear or translucent glass or plastic having a smooth front side and a smooth reverse side; b. a plurality of beveled grooves along at least one face thereof to subdivide said plate into design segments of unrelieved pane thickness surrounded by beveled grooves, each groove beveled at a sidewall angle from 10 to about 70 degrees with a flat bottom wall having a width from 0.1 to about 0.6 inch; c. a plurality of lead strips having a width about equal to the width of said flat bottom walls and flat undersurfaces, and inserted into said grooves with their flat undersurfaces bonded to said flat bottom walls of said grooves, thereby enclosing said design segments; and d. pressure sensitive adhesive interposed between and bonding together the pane and the lead strips.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
A simulated beveled and leaded glass window structure comprising; a. a pane of substantially clear or translucent glass or plastic having a smooth front side and a smooth reverse side; b. a plurality of beveled grooves along at least one face thereof to subdivide said plate into design segments of unrelieved pane thickness surrounded by beveled grooves, each groove beveled at a sidewall angle from 10 to about 70 degrees with a flat bottom wall having a width from 0.1 to about 0.6 inch; c. a plurality of lead strips having a width about equal to the width of said flat bottom walls and flat undersurfaces, and inserted into said grooves with their flat undersurfaces bonded to said flat bottom walls of said grooves, thereby enclosing said design segments; and d. pressure sensitive adhesive interposed between and bonding together the pane and the lead strips.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A structure according to claim 1 wherein said flat bottom walls are inset by perpendicular walls a distance from 0.001 to about 0.01 inch to provide a recessed mounting for said lead strips.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
A structure according to claim 1 further comprising a second plurality of lead strips adhered to the reverse side of the pane in coincidental alignment with the first plurality of lead strips adhered to the front side of the pane, thereby simulating lead came.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
A structure according to claim 3 further comprising a plurality of sheet segments of plastic film affixed with adhesive to the reverse side of the pane to coincide with said design segments on the front side of said pane with their perimeter edges overlaid by the second plurality of lead strips.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
A structure according to claim 3 wherein the coatings comprise sheets of polyester film.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A structure according to claim 5 wherein at least one of the coatings incorporates pigments imparting color to the coating, thereby simulating beveled and stained glass.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
A structure according to claim 3 wherein the adhesive interposed between the pane and the coatings incorporates pigments imparting color to the closed design segments.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
146 words
The method of preparing a simulated beveled and leaded glass window structure comprising: a. forming a plurality of beveled grooves along the front face of a pane of substantially clear or translucent glass or plastic having a smooth front side and a smooth reverse side to subdivide said plate into design segments of unrelieved pane thickness surrounded by beveled grooves, and providing each groove with a sidewall angle from 10 to about 70 degrees and with a flat bottom wall having a width from 0.1 to about 0.6 inch; Claim 8. continued b. inserting a plurality of lead strips having a width about equal to the width of said flat bottom walls and flat undersurfaces into each of said grooves and bonding the flat undersurfaces of said lead strips to said flat bottom walls of said grooves, thereby enclosing said design segments with said lead strips.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method of claim 8 wherein said flat bottom walls are formed with perpendicular walls at a depth from 0.001 to about 0.01 inch to provide a recessed mounting for said lead strips.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
49 words
The method of claim 9 further including the steps of affixing a second plurality of lead strips with an adhesive to the reverse side of the pane in coincidental alignment with the first plurality of lead strips adhered to the front side of the pane, thereby simulating lead came.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
60 words
The method of claim 10 further including the steps of affixing a plurality of sheet segments of plastic film with adhesive to the reverse side of the pane to coincide with said design segments on the front side of said pane and affixing said second plurality of lead strips over the perimeter edges of said sheet segments of plastic film.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method of claim 11 further including the steps of incorporating pigments to impart color to at least one of said sheet segments of plastic film, thereby simulating beveled and stained glass.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method of claim 9 wherein said step of forming said beveled grooves comprises machining the front surface of a smooth surfaced pane of plastic and polishing of the machined grooves.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 12 wherein said machining is performed by cutting the smooth front surface of said pane of plastic.
