PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Tiles, Mouldings, and the like,
Made from Dust.
I John AlfrED EASON of 1 Castle View Emmerson Road, Poole, in the
County of Dorset, Foreman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
;—
This invention has for its object, improvements in the method of manufacturing
lockback tiles, mouldings, &c. of all shapes and sizes, for fixing on walls, floors,
ceilings, for use in hotels, mansions, public buildings, ships, &c. and is so con-
structed, viz. I form a round, square oblong or any other shape bevel, by the use of
an indiarubber stamp as shown in Fig. A attached to a steel cup and pin sunk in
the bottom die as seen in Fig. B; the weight of the top die pressing on the tile
dust causes the rubber to expand as seen in Fig. C; when the top die is raised,
the rubber rights itself as seen in Fig. D thus forming the lock; Fig. E shows the
lockback tile after leaving the press; Fig. F shows the tile fastened to the cement.
The advantages of my process over any other are that I get a continuous bevel
one fourth of an inch or more, also the easy method in which they are made the
indiarubber serves as springs and lifts the tiles mouldings &c. off the bottom die
which on leaving the press are finished.
Dated the 7th day of November 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Tiles, Mouldings, and the like,
Made from Dust.
I, JOHN ALFRED EASON Eiffeldale Longfleet Poole do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manuer the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to the manufacture of tiles, mouldings and the like, in
what is termed by the trade "made in dust."
Referring to the drawings filed with my Provisional the "dust" is pressed into
the mould, and a bevel obtained in the desired position by using indiarubber or
such like compressible elastic material A. projected from a steel cup countersunk
into the face of the die & secured by bolt pin B. The mould being filled with
the dust material and pressed in the usual manner, this said compressible material
Hattens & expands as shown in Figure 6 thus forming the internal bevel. When
the pressure is removed, the elastic material returns to its original shape as shown
in Figure D thus assisting to lift the tile off the die, and releasing itself from the
internal bevel previously formed. Figure E shows the back of the tiles made by
my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is.
. 1. In means for forming recesses in tiles for fixing same in position; a flexible
projection of indiarubber or the like attached to the die plate of the mould which
forms the necessary recess, when the material is pressed in the mould, the projection

substantially as described herein.
