Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Vehicle Bodies and other Curved or Bent Bodies or Articles.
Inventor: SPYKER JACOBUS
Filed: 1903-12-15
Granted: 1904-07-28
Abstract: 27,526. Spyker, J. Dec. 15. Bodies.-Vehicle bodies are formed by coating a non-metallic core with copper or other metal by electrolysis. The core, which is light and rigid and retains its shape in the acidulated electrolyte, is made in a mould. It consists of layers of superposed crossed paper strips, with layers of crossed strips of vegetable fibre or of fabric between them, three layers being sufficient to form a suitable core. The fibre can be obtained by beating strips of wood or bark peeled from certain trees, particularly the Kajoe terap and the Atap. Each layer, as well as the exterior surface of the core, is coated with glue or the like mixed with potassium bichromate, the various coatings being exposed to the action of light to render them insoluble in water. Before acting upon the two first coatings of glue, the mould is placed in a chamber and covered with sand to which hydraulic pressure is applied to produce intimate connection between the elements of each layer. The core is perforated so that the deposit will extend through the holes, which may contain metal connecting-pieces, and join the coatings on its interior and exterior ; it can be prepared for taking the deposit by coating it with plumbago. The metallic surface may be painted or varnished, or plated with gold, silver, bronze, or the like.
