of Germany, Stucco Manufacturer, and HARRY ERNEST GAZE, of 16, Hinde Street,
Marylebone Lane, London, Agent and Importer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
are employed in the following manner for the purpose of producing a fibrous plaster
or stucco-like articles or the like ornaments or surfaces such for instance as cornices,
ceiling ornaments, etc.
Our invention is as follows :—
We take gypsum, infusorial earth (Kieselguhr) and cellulose in suitable propor-
tions and thoroughly mix same (dry) all together and then we add same to water and
rubber (which latter may advantageously have been previously dissolved in the water)
in suitable proportious and the whole are thoroughly incorporated and mixed
together.
We thus produce a thick plastic mass and this we spread or work in moulds of any
suitable shapes and then we lay the aloe or other fibres or fibrous material over the back
of said mixture in said mould while still plastic and work (dab) said fibre into the
plastic mass (advantageously with an appliance like a brush) and then another layer
of the plastic mass is laid on and then more fibre and so on until the desired thick-
ness has been obtained whereupon the mass is left in the mould etc. until set (say an
hour or more) when same is removed and dried and is then ready to be fixed in
position on the ceiling or wall or other surface or position in or to which same is
adapted to be fixed.

We, ALBERT LAUERMANN, of Detinold, in the Principality of Lippe, in the Empire
of Germany, Stucco Manufacturer, and HARRY ERNEST GAZE, of 16, 'Hinde Street,
Marylebone Lane, London, Agent and Importer, 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:-
are employed in the following manner for the purpose of producing a fibrous plaster
or stucco-like articles or the like ornaments or surfaces such for instance as cornices,
ceiling ornaments etc.
These materials may be employed in or about the following proportions :—
Gypsum
Infusorial earth
8 pounda
-
100 pounds
-
10 pounds (35% dry substance)
12 pounds
Cellulose
Rubber
Water
Fibre
-
-
-
80 to 100 pounds
10 to 12 pounds
This invention may be carried into practice as follows:-
We take gypsum, infusorial earth (Kieselguhr) and cellulose in or about the above
proportions and thoroughly mix same (dry) all together, and then we add same to
the water and rubber (which latter may advantageously have been previously dis-
solved in water) in suitable proportions and the whole are thoroughly incorporated
and mixed together.
We thus produce a thick plastic mass and this we spread or work in moulds of any
suitable shapes and then we lay the aloe or other fibres or fibrous material over the
back of said mixture in said mould while still plastic and work (dab) said fibre into
the plastic mass (advantageously with an appliance like a brush) and then another
layer of the plastic mass is laid on and then more fibre and so on until the desired
thickness has been obtained whereupon the mass is left in the mould etc. until set
(say an hour or more) when same is removed and dried, and is then ready to be fixed
in position on the ceiling or wall or other surface or position in or to which same is
adapted to be fixed.
•
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The herein described method of and means for manufacturing stucco or plaster-
like ornaments or surfaces or similar articles, which consists in mixing together
]

page_text: gypsum, infusorial earth (Kieselguhr) and cellulose as specified, then mixing same
with water and rubber as specified to produce a plastic mass, then placing said mass
in moulds and incorporating fibrous material with said mass by laying the said fibrous
material in said mass while the latter is in a plastic state in said moulds and then
drying same, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. As a new article of manufacture-stucco or plaster-like ornaments or surfaces or
the like articles formed in the manner and from the specified materials mixed
together and incorporated substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore
described.
