Ornamental and other Mouldings.
We ANDREAS GUULSEN HÆHRE and OLE GUULSEN HÆHRE, both of Drammen
Norway, Manufacturers 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 to produce directly from the paper pulp mouldings
and panelling material in any lengths and to provide them if desired with relief
ornaments for application to decorative purposes in the interior of houses or according
to circumstances for making up picture frames and the like, or for any purposes where
such mouldings in any required sections and with any required relief ornamentation
may be applicable.
The process consists in causing a suitably wet cord or bar of paper pulp with or
without admixture of loading material to make up bulk, adhesive material or colouring
matters, of the required size, to pass successively through several pairs of pressing
rolls, whereby it gradually assumes the required form and density.
For this purpose we use a continuously working machine which therefore can deliver
the work in as great lengths as may be desired.
Such a machine is shown in the part sectional side view Figure 1, Figures 2 to 6
showing details of same. A is the appliance for preliminarily depriving the pulp
material of water and in which the material is deposited on the sieve material covered
cylinder a from which the sheet is taken off by the felt covered doffer roll a¹. The
material is taken off the roll a¹ by the doctor a² and falls into the stirring vessel B
wherein it, if required, is mixed with water and other additions and by means of
stirrers made into a stiff paste. It is then pressed out at the spout ³ which is
provided with regulating door 64 and thence enters the pressing machine proper. This
latter consists of two pressing roll systems. The first system C C C³ is provided with
over and under endless felt apron passing between the rolls and carried back by felt
guiding rolls; while the second system D1 D2 D3 has no felt apron. While passing
through the first system or group the mass is more and more compressed thus losing
most of its moisture so that no felt is needed for supporting it during its passage
through the second system D' D2 D3. The felt apron and paper pulp bar or sheet are in
front of the first system of pressing rolls as well as between the two following
pairs of rolls passed through gutters c³ of the width required for the made article

page_text: but in the second system they are only supported by boards d. When the pulp-
bar has passed through the last press or rolls it has become so hard that it will
support itself in a considerable length and it may then be cut off to any desired
lengths and be put by for complete drying.
The first sets of rolls (C2 C3 are of the section shown at Figure 3 and produce a
plain rectangular bar, while the following sets of rolls are shaped to give the bar the
section and ornamentation desired. The bottom rolls are plain cylinders as shown at
Figures 3 and 4, and the width of the bar is determined by adjustable coliars c. The
upper roll must in each case of course fit in between the two collars c and must be
changed for every new width of bar or moulding to be made. In order not to change
the whole roll, the sleeve c¹ fits loosely thereon and can be fixed by key, key way and
screws. Or we may use the arrangement of rolls shown in Figure 4, Figure 2 shows
another arrangement which however is not so suitable.
The gutters are shown in section and plan at Figures 5 and 6. Their side walls
consist of loose pieces c' which can be fixed at the distance apart required for the width
of the moulding by means of screws and nuts passing through slots in the bottom.
To produce blanks of paper pulp of the plain form of bar as it comes from the
rolls (we may for short lengths and small sections use an ordinary cardboard sheet
making machine and these short lengths are then passed through the rolls D¹ D² D³
but in that case the machine does not work in the continuous manner described.
If necessary we may also with the rolls D1 D2 D3 use felt support but then of course
only on the back side of the moulding; this is however generally not necessary as the bar
is stiff enough and only little water is expressed while it is passed through these presses.
Between the stirring vessel B and the rolls we may if desired use a sieve such as
used in millboard machinery thus perhaps saving one set of rolls, but as such an
appliance would be dearer both as to first cost and in repairs no advantage is gained.
The simple machinery here shown fulfils the object perfectly.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is :
1. The manufacture from paper pulp or similar material with or without addition of
loading material, binding material or colouring material, of plan or ornamental mould-
ings and panelling work in any desired length by passing a wet bar of stiff pulp
through several consecutive roller presses constructed and arranged substantially as set
forth whereby the bulk of its moisture is first expressed and the bar then gradually
assumes the form desired.
2. For the process firstly claimed described in the preceding claim the application of
a machine consisting essentially of the following parts, viz. A water expressing
machine A with cylinder, doffer, and doctor, a stirring butt B and several sets of
pressing rolls C1 C2 C3 D1 D2 103 which partly are provided with endless felt apron
and partly with sectioned and ornamented surfaces.
3. In a machine as secondly claimed the application of pressing rolls constructed
substantially as described with reference to figures 2. 3 and 4.
4. In a machine as secondly claimed the application of gutters having sides that are
adjustable as to distance apart substantially as described with reference to Figures 5
and 6 and for the purpose of supporting the pulp bar: between the roller presses.

We ANDREAS GUNLSEN HŒHRE and OLE GUNLSEN HŒEHRE, both of Drammen

4. In a machine as secondly claimed the application of gutters having sides that are
adjustable as to distance apart substantially as described with reference to Figures 5
