Abstract
A method for producing indicative and/or decorative tridimensional pieces, e.g. types, digits or the like, comprising providing a beam having a normal cross-section reproducing the outline of said piece, and cutting said beam along a least two parallely spaced planes, in order to obtain single pieces having a desired thickness. The beam is preferably a drawn metallic or extruded plastic beam and the cutting operation thereof may be carried-out along planes forming a suitably selected angle, different than 90.degree., with the beam axis, to obtain single pieces having modified size ratios in respect to the beam normal cross-section.
Claims9
A method for producing a legible sign consisting of a plurality of tridimensional legible graphic symbols such as alphanumeric characters comprising the steps of providing a plurality of elongated members each having a cross-sectional configuration in the form of one of said graphic symbols, there being provided at least one elongated member with a cross-sectional configuration in the form of each one of said graphic symbols, each of said elongated members having a longitudinal axis extending generally perpendicularly to its cross-sectional configuration, cutting said elongated members along planes extending transversely of said respective longitudinal axes to form therefrom said plurality of graphic symbols of which said legible sign consists, and arranging said cut graphic symbols in a predetermined sequence to form said legible sign.
