Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Artificial Marble and the like.
Inventor: ACCETTOLA DOMENICO
IPC: C04B14/28
Filed: 1910-08-17
Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 19,346. Accettola, D. Aug. 17. Figured stone; concretes. - Artificial marble &c. is manufactured from a base composition consisting of white Portland cement mixed with powdered Derbyshire spar, marble dust, or sand, to which ground glass may be added. Plain marble is produced in flat slabs by-casting the composition formed into a paste with water in wooden or other moulds upon a smooth surface such as glass, removing the moulds, and polishing before hardening. Variegated marble is formed in slabs by colouring portions of the mixture and mixing the coloured materials in a mould. Variegated marble may be produced in bulk by pouring the coloured composition into a. deep box and giving a wavy movement from end to end and side to side, and repeating until the box is full. The mixture is allowed to set under pressure until firm, after which it may be cut into slabs, which are set aside to harden, and polished. Variegated marbles are made in situ by mixing the base composition in batches with colouring-matter, each being mixed with water into a stiff paste. Lumps of each coloured composition are kneaded together by hand, and the variegated mass is sprinkled with coloured powder. Further kneaded and sprinkled lumps are added and worked together and applied while still damp to the walls &c., left till nearly dry, hand scraped, and cleaned. For making mosaics, tessellated work, or granites, the various coloured base compositions, broken into small irregular pieces, are mixed together in a box and hammered down. The prepared mass is cut into slabs. A mould may be packed with a facing of the mixed materials and then filled with ordinary concrete. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 3573 / 83, 669 / 85, 13,595/85, 3803/94, 17,281/96, and 7733/00.

Abstract: 12,496. Allensby, H. L., and Gibson, E. R. Q. May 23. Endless-chain machines; sanding and cleaning.-Relates to machines of the type in which a series of separate multiple moulds is filled with clay from a pug-mill and the moulds are then pushed successively beneath a press, and comprises improvements in the striking means, means for loosening the bricks in the moulds, means for sanding the moulds after removing them from the bricks without re-inverting them, and means for re-inverting the moulds and conveying them back to the press. A striking-plate c, backed by a spring c<2> and adjusted by screws c<4>, removes surplus clay from the moulds A. A scraper d is reciprocated along the edge of the plate c to remove superfluous material and also to clean the edge of the. brick. The scraper d is reciprocated along guides i by means of a cord d<1> passing around pulleys d<2>, d<0> and operated by a wheel e. The guides i are inclined at the end to tilt the scraper d, and cause it to discharge the superfluous clay into a receptacle j, from which it is returned to the pug-mill by a conveyer j<1>. A weight j<2> returns the scraper and also, by means of a cord d<7>, operates the tapper d<6> of a sanding-device d<5> for the scraper. Behind the striking-plate c is arranged a shaking-table k which vibrates the mould against the framework to loosen the bricks. This table is operated by a pendulum l actuated by a trip device m controlled by a cord m'. After the mould has been inverted to discharge the bricks, it is placed, without being re-inverted, over a sanding-device, which comprises a sheet of fabric o, Figs. 2 and 5, normally stretched by springs o<2> but capable of being flexed by straps p connected to a rack-bar p<2> operated by a mutilated pinion p<3>. Sand contained in a hopper q is fed to a measuring-trough r, which is tilted against the action of a spring r<5> to discharge the sand on to the sheet by means of a lever r<2> connected by a cord r<3> to a crank-pin r<4> on the pinion p<3>. Owing to the gearing p<3>, the sheet o is flexed and suddenly released, and throws the sand up into the mould, which is positioned by a finger s. The sanded moulds pass down an inclined shoot t to a conveyer u, on which they become re-inverted, and by which they are carried back to the press.
