Processes.-Consists in ornamenting plates of glass, metal, &c. by pressing a plastic mass, such as paint, gypsum, or clay, between two plates and then separating the plates, the ornamentation being caused by the mass adhering irregularly to the two surfaces. The plastic mass may be in one or more colours and consistencies, and the plates when pressed together may be given various movements, and may be separated uniformly or from one edge or corner. By varying the conditions, many fantastic effects are produced. Apparatus is described for pressing the plates together and giving them suitable movements and separating them in a suitable manner.

Vehicles convertible into buildings and platforms. - A caravan or portable house is constructed to enable it to be opened out into a more spacious structure such as a bungalow, house, office, or shop or to be transformed into an open-air concert or other platform. The caravan consists of a floor a mounted on wheels, three detachably secured sides b, c, d, Fig. 4, the side b having a door and windows, a fourth side composed of hinged sections g, h, i, j, and a roof l, Fig. 2, hinged or detachable at one side and having a hinged section l<1> which normally hangs down over the folding side as shown. A hinged floor extension a' normally turned up against the folded sections g, h can be turned down as shown in Fig. 12 where it rests upon feet o and projections n, Fig. 2, on the underside of the floor a. Hinged triangular pieces k on the sides c, d support the roof section l, and corner posts p, secured to the floor extension a' by pins passing through it and into the feet o, support the section l. A ridge-piece r tongued to receive finishing-pieces s is placed on the roof and a ladder is supported by rods t. The structure may then be used as a platform for concerts &c. with the caravan portion as office or dressing-room. To convert the caravan into an enlarged house the hinged parts g, h, i, j are unfolded so as to enclose the front and ends of the platform a<1>. Triangular flaps k<1> on the parts g, h are raised to form additional support for the roof section l<1>, and the space between the flaps k, k<1> is filled in by a detachable window q, Fig. 9, having side flanges q<1>, q<1> to fit inside the flaps k, k<1> and a sill q2. To form a larger platform the hinged sections g, h are opened to form wings, and the sections i, j are detached and placed in front of the wings on legs to form extensions of the platform. The roof member l<1> is detached and the member l is laid flat and provided with a facia board along its front edge. Several such structures may be grouped together.
