the County of Middlesex, for an Invention of "NOVEL OR IMPROVED
APPLICATIONS OF OXIDISED OIL OR SOLIDIFIED OIL COMPOSITIONS TO

PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Frederick Walton at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 19th July 1880.
FREDERICK WALTON, of Heatham House, Twickenham, in the County of
Middlesex. "NOVEL OR IMPROVED APPLICATIONS OF OXIDISED OIL OR SOLIDIFIED
OIL COMPOSITIONS TO PANELS, MOULDINGS, AND ARTICLES REQUIRING AN
IMPERMEABLE MOULDED SURFACE."
.
This Invention has for its object novel or improved applications of oxidized oil
or solidified oil compositions to panels, mouldings, and articles requiring an
impermeable moulded surface.
According to my Invention I. apply or make use of oxidised or solidified oil
compositions to give an ornamental or smooth impermeable and durable moulded
surface to panels, or mouldings for furniture, and panels or slabs to form ornamental
parts of writing desks, boxes, and such like articles, and I produce ornamental
slabs or sheets for the decoration of shops, and for the exhibition of maps or
advertisements in a decorative form, and ornamental letters and signs for shop
windows, and the like. For the purpose of applying the oxidized or solidified oil
composition I employ engraved metal dies or rollers; the composition is applied
when in a plastic state, and considerable pressure is employed; afterwards the.
articles are hardened off by exposure to a moderate heat for a considerable time.
In this way also I coat or surface articles requiring protection from moisture or the
Drine 71

page_text: weather; thus, wheels are sometimes made with the central portion of compressed
paper, and the most serious objection to which such wheels are liable is that the
block is not impermeable; this objection I wholly remove by the application, as
above described, by means of dies and pressure, of a skin or surface of oxidized or
solidified oil composition ;. the said composition in a plastic state is moulded on to
the block and in such a manner as to completely encase it so as to exclude the
access of moisture to the paper material. Other perishable articles liable to be
injured by moisture may be similarly protected; thus, cords of fibrous material
may be enclosed in an impermeable sheath. Where desired, ornaments may be
produced upon the surface by means of dies or rollers at the same time that the
impermeable skin or surface is moulded upon it or subsequently.

FREDERICK WALTON, of Heatham House, Twickenham, in the County of
Middlesex. NOVEL OR IMPROVED APPLICATIONS OF OXIDISED OIL OR SOLIDIFIED
OIL COMPOSITIONS TO PANELS, MOULDINGS, AND ARTICLES REQUIRING AN
IMPERMEABLE MOULDED SURFACE."
This Invention has for its object novel or improved applications of oxidised oil
or solidified oil compositions to panels, mouldings, and articles requiring an
impermeable moulded surface.
According to my Invention I apply or make use of oxidised or solidified oil
compositions to give an ornamental or smooth impermeable and durable moulded
surface to panels, or mouldings, for furniture, and panels or slabs to form ornamental
parts of writing desks, boxes, and such like articles, and I produce ornamental
slabs or sheets for the decoration of shops and for the exhibition of maps or
advertisements in a decorative form, and ornamental letters and signs for shop
windows, and the like. For the purpose of applying the oxidized or solidified.oil
composition I employ engraved metal dies or rollers.
A suitable composition may be prepared as follows:-
A cement is first made consi
lbs.
Cement (as above)
Wood fibre
White lead
Venetian red
48
48
These materials are combined
6
in radial mixing machines.
The color can be altered to suit the purpose required.
The composition is applied to the panel or article when in a plastic state, and
considerable pressure is employed; afterwards the articles are hardened off by
exposure to a moderate heat for a considerable time. The panels, slabs, mouldings,
ornamental letters, or like articles for receiving the impermeable moulded surface
will usually be of wood, but in some cases other hard and solid materials may be
conveniently employed. In this way also I coat or surface articles requiring
protection from moisture or the weather; thus, wheels are sometimes made with
the central portion of compressed paper, and the most serious objection to which
such wheels are liable is, that the block is not impermeable; this objection I wholly
remove by the application, as above described, by means of dies and pressure, of a
skin or surface of oxidized or solidified oil composition; the said composition in a
plastic state is moulded onto the block, and in such a manner as to completely
encase it, so as to exclude the access of moisture to the paper material. Other
perishable articles liable to be injured by moisture may be similarly protected;
thus, cords of fibrous material may be enclosed in an impermeable sheath. Where
desired, ornaments may be produced upon the surface by means of dies or rollers at
the same time that the impermeable skin or surface is moulded upon it or
subsequently.
A suitable composition for covering cords consists of.

page_text: material is applied to the cord in the same way as gutta percha is applied to
telegraph wires. In some cases it is advisable to pass the cords through a thin
varnish of the composition previously, so as to make the coating more certainly
adherent. The cord may afterwards be passed through small embossing rollers to
produce a pattern which may be an imitation of a twisted or plaited cord, or some
other suitable design.
Having thus described the nature of my said Invention, and the manner of
performing the same, I would have it understood that I claim,-
First. The novel application of oxidised' oil or solidified oil compositions to give
to panels, slabs, mouldings, ornamental letters, or signs for shop windows, and other
articles of wood, or other hard and solid material an impermeable moulded surface,
substantially as described.
Second. The novel application of oxidised oil or solidified oil compositions to
give to cords of fibrous material an impermeable moulded surface, substantially as
described.
In witness whereof, J, the said Frederick-Walton, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Fifth day of January, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and eighty one.
