 e2e fEDEEAIi EEPOBTEE, �turned over upon the paper so as to seoure the paper to the back, were also known, and had been made by the Terry Manufaeturing Company in 1854. The plaintifï's invention consisted in the combination of a paper dial, a back, — preter- ably of zinc, — and a metallic cap or frame or scalp, which Tinited the back and the dial. The function of the cap or frame or scalp, as correctly described by the plaintiiï's expert, was "to cover the edge of the dial by the inner edge of said frame, and hold the dial firmly against the back, so that its edge will not warp up or become displaced, while the outer edge of said frame is turned over and embraces the edge of the back, while the body of the scalp serves to unite these two edges, which I have described, and thereby the three parts, to-wit, the dial, the back, and the frame, are ail held together, and constitute, as a whole, a clock dial." The patentee, after referring to the drawings, which show the form of the frame and of back, which will be described here- after, says, in the re-issued specification, that the back may be made entirely flat, if desired. The dial may be made of the same diameter as the back, and the frame made plain and turned over the edges of the dial and the back, thus com- pressing them thoroughly together. When it is desired to make a moulding frame and back, the edge of the back is made nearly the shape of the frame. The dial B is made of Buch diameter as to just fill in between the raised portion from the flat surface of the back A. The frame or scalp G ia placed over the dial B, and the edge D turned over the edge of the back A, and pressed together, thus firmly compressing the edge of the dial between the inner edge of the frame C and back A. The claims of the re-issued patent were as follows : �First. The combination of a metallic scalp, with a clock dial, substantially as and for the purpose described. �Second. The combination of a metallic scalp and zino back, with a paper dial, substantially as and for the purpose shown. �Third. The combination of a zinc back, with a paper dial, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. �Fourth. The combination of metallic back and paper dial, ����
