.
I, JOSEPH REYNOLDS 28 Faunce Street New Street Kennington Park in the
County of Surrey Cabinet and Glass Frame Maker do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is the improved method of producing ornamental
and other effects in or upon glass or other transparent body for advertising and
general display purposes. To carry my invention into practice I take a piece of
transparent glass or other transparent body upon one side of which I apply a
groundwork of color, colors, bronzes silver or gilt or I etch or cut into the transparent
glass or other transparent body a dull ornament letters or device or a ground may
be etched or cut leaving ornament letters or devices transparent. I then apply to
the whole surface of the glass or other transparent body which has been etched or
cut a silvered or gilded groundwork. I then prepare a stencil or sets of stencils
to any required design of ornament or letters or I may use any suitable body
capable of resisting a blast of sand. This stencil or resisting body is applied
directly upon the colored bronzed silvered or gilded side of the glass and exposed
to a blast of sand or such similar material of sufficient cutting power to remove
the color bronze silver or gilt that is not protected by the stencil or resisting body.
The glass will then have a frosted or dull ornament or letters according to the
shapes or design that has not been protected by the stencil or resist.
may then
apply color or colors or other suitable material to the side that has been so operated
upon so that when looked at from the reverse or plain side of the glass the color
colors or other material will only appear where the sand blast has cut away the
first applied groundwork of color bronze silver or gilt.

Improved Method of Producing Effects, Ornamental and other, in or

General Display Purposes.
I JOSEPH REYNOLDS 28 Faunce Street New Street Kennington Park Road
in the County of Surrey Cabinet and Frame Maker do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is the improved method of producing ornamental
and other effects in or upon glass or other transparent body for advertising and
general display purposes. To carry my invention into practice I take a piece of
transparent glass or other transparent body upon one side of which I apply a
ground or layer of color colors bronzes silvering or gilding or I etch or cut into
the transparent glass or other transparent body a dull ornament letters or devices
or a ground may be etched or cut leaving ornament letters or devices_transparent.
I then apply to the whole surface of the glass or other transparent body which has
been etched or cut a silvered or gilded groundwork. I then prepare a stencil or
set of stencils to any required design of ornament or letters or I may use any
suitable body capable of resisting a blast of sand or its equivalent. This stencil
or resisting body is applied directly upon the colored bronzed silvered or gilded

page_text: side of the glass and exposed to a blast of sand or such similar material of sufficient
cutting power to remove the color bronze silvering or gilding that is not protected
by the stencil or resisting body. I then apply color colors or other suitable
material to the side that has been so operated upon so that when looked at from
the reverse or plain side of the glass the color colors or other material will only
show where the sand blast has cut away the first applied groundwork of color
bronze silvering or gilding. To elaborate the design 1 may again apply stencil or
other suitable material capable of resisting the blast of sand or its equivalent such
stencil or resist being so formed as to expose only portions of the already applied
colors and in some instances likewise portions of the first applied silvered gilded or
colored letters devices or groundwork the exposed parts being removed by a blast
of sand or its equivalent, color or other suitable material is again applied to the
side that has been so operated upon so that when looked at from the front or plain
side of the glass or other transparent body the last applied color or other material
shows in relief against the color silvering or gilding already applied. Or I may
take the glass or other transparent body which has been colored bronzed silvered
or gilded and apply stencils or resists as above described shaped or formed to any
required design and expose it to a blast of sand or its equivalent which removes
the color bronze silvering or gilding that is not protected by the stencil or resisting
body. I then apply color colors or other suitable material upon a backing which
may be placed directly in contact or at a distance from the side of the glass or
other transparent body that has been operated upon so that when looked at from
the front or plain side of the glass or other transparent body the colors or other
material upon the backing will have a softened or dull effect. I may also apply
the process of sand blasting as before described to the front or plain side of the
glass or other transparent body employing stencils or other suitable resists cut or
shaped to any required design the backing will then appear still further dulled or
softened through the parts of the glass or other transparent body so sand blasted.
When the front of the glass or other transparent body is sand blasted as last
described I may apply the colors or other material directly upon the back of the
glass dispensing with the colored backing already described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
(1) By means of a blast either of sand or its equivalent the removal of silvering
gilding or colors which have been applied to glass or other transparent body
protected in parts by stencils or other suitable resist.
(2) The application of a blast either of sand or its equivalent to the front of
glass or other transparent body for the purpose of softening in appearance colors
or other material applied behind.
