DESIGN FOR A SLEEVE-BUTTON OR SIMILAR ARTICLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 17,652, dated August 23, 1887.

Application filed Juno .1, 1887. Serial No. 240,)0. Term of patent 14 years.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES W. MILLER, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented and produced a new and original Design for Sleeve-Buttons and like Articles, which design is fully set forth in the following specification.

This design is for the surface ornamentation of sleeve-buttons and other articles of jewelry, as well as analogous articles not generally classed as jewelry. It is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure I shows the surface of a sleeve-button havfng the design formed thereon, and Fig. II is a sectional view showing the elevations and depressions.

As shown, the surface of the article is covered with a series of figures or cells of irregular shape bounded by straight lines or ridges, producing a cellular or cloisonne effect. The cells or figures are made without regard to uniformity or particular configuration, being of triangular, quadrangular, or polygonal form. The boundary-lines are preferably raised above or struck up from the surface of the article, though obviously the design is the same if the outlines be countersunk. The extent to which these boundary-lines are raised or countersunk may be greater on one part of the surface than on another.

The design is more sharply defined and its effect enhanced when the surface of the depressed parts or the polygonal figures have a different color from that of the lines or ridges by which the figures are bounded, thereby producing a pleasing contrast, which may be varied within wide limits, according to taste.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The design herein shown and set forth for the surface ornamentation of a sleeve-button or other article of jewelry or other analogous article, said design consisting of the rectilinear depressions or ridges constituting irregularly-disposed cells of triangular, quadrangular, or polygonal forms, substantially as described.

2. The design for sleeve-buttons and other articles herein shown and set forth, the same consisting of irregularly-disposed figures of polygonal form bounded by straight lines or ridges, the figures themselves being of a dif ferent color from that of the boundarydines or ridges.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
