IMPROVEMENTS IN CARRIAGES & PERAMBULATORS
Year: 1884

page_text: I THOMAS JEFFERIES of 142 Bradford Street, Birmingham, County of
Warwickshire, Japanner, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN CARRIAGES & PERAMBULATORS to be as follows:-
My invention consists in the application of the material known as Lincrusta-
Walton, or any other substitute thereof, as Bass-relief ornamentation, internally
or externally applied for useful and ornamental purposes, as Mouldings, panels,
tableta &c.
When the body of the carriage is made of sheet iron I purpose useing either the
plain Waterproof Cloth, or, the embossed material, on the entire surface, having
two objects in view viz to prevent rust, & beautify its appearance externally.
Fixing the material thereon by a very strong adhesive paste.
When the body part is made of wood I purpose covering its external surface
entirely or partly therewith. In this instance small nails or tacks can be used to
additional advantage in fastening it on. Internally, when the Head does not let
up or down I purpose useing it above the back and side squabs instead of cloth.
Also on the inside of cab & carriage doors to give the interior a more decorative
appearance, and as a dust and damp resistive. In Perambulatora it may be used for
beading; being fixed with tacks or paste, or, let into grooves made purposely for it.
It then having the appearance of carved beading. Panels also of varied designs to
be applied in contradistinction to the transferring method of decoration. In some
instances also suitably applying the same to the front of spokes & felloes of
wheels.
When the body is made of either wicker work or wire work then the lincrusta or
linoleum is to be fixed by sewing it thereto with strong carpet thread or annealed
thin binding wire or else by mounting it on card or straw board & fixing it after
the same manner.
As my chief object is raised relief ornamentation on perambulators especially
I claim to use also metallic, leather, paper, or other such ornaments.

page_text: I Thomas JeffERIES, of 142 Bradford Street Birmingham in the County
of Warwick Japanner do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN CARRIAGES & PERAMBULATORS, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
"
My invention consists in the application of the material known as "Lincrusta
Walton or any other substitutes thereof, as Bas relief ornamentation internally or
externally applied for useful and ornamental purposes as Mouldings, Panels,
Tablets &c.
When the body of the carriage is made of 'sheet iron I purpose using either the
plain waterproof clothing, or the embossed material on the entire surface having
two objects in view; to prevent rust, and to beautify its appearance externally,
fixing the material thereon by a very strong adhesive paste.
When the body part is made of wood, purpose covering its external surface
entirely or partly therewith. In this instance small nails or tacks can be used to
additional advantage in fastening it on. Internally, when the head does not lift up
or down I purpose useing it above the back and side squabs instead of cloth.
Also on the inside of cab and carriage doors to give to the interior a more
decorative appearance, and as a dust and damp resistive. In perambulators it may
be used for beading being fixed with tacks or paste or let into grooves made
purposely for it, it then having the appearance of carved beading. Panels also of
varied designs to be applied in contra distinction to the Transfering method of
decoration. In some instances applying the same to the front of spokes and
felloes of wheels.
When the body is made of either wickerwork or wirework then the Lincrusta or
Linoleum is fixed by sewing it thereto with string, carpet thread, or annealed thin
binding wire, or else by mounting it on card or straw board, and fixing after the
same manner.
As my chief object is raised relief ornamentation of perambulators especially
I claim to use also metallic, Leather, paper, or other such ornaments.
I having already described my different methods of fixing Lincrusta to the
different materials of which carriages are made, which methods will also suit for
my further appliances of analogous materials, such as Veloplastic, stamped cloth, as
that used by book-binders, Kamptulicon &c &c I will now proceed to explain
their further application, and more fully my varied kinds of bass relief ornaments.
I sometimes use panels of wood, straw board, card board &c &c made in shape to
suit the character of the carriage upon which they are to be placed. Afterwards
upon these I fix ornaments of various patterns or designs obtained from Lincrusta
fillings, friezes &c, also upon such panels I likewise put ornaments of other
materials, as for instance raised paper. Sometimes I cut the plain or smooth
Linoleum into ornamental designs in imitation of, and, Fretwork. These can then
be tastefully decorated after the usual japanner's artistic styles. For more useful
purposes, as in the case of trade vehicles I make of it projecting letters for name
boards, trade emblems, tablets &c. As in contra-distinction to transfering which
when done is but an apparent prominence, I use stamped or raised fancy paper,
either the cut out ornaments, or relief cards, also stamped metallic ornaments.

page_text: 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
1st The application and use of Textile materials having raised ornamental
surfaces also the same in their plain or smooth surfaced condition for the purposes
herein before stated.
2nd Also the use of such materials as paper, wood, stamped metal, for the purposes
herein before stated.
