Timber Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention. to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of wood mouldings
the object of the improvements being to obtain an enriched moulding at a compara-
tively low cost of production..

For this purpose I take ordinary steam struck mouldings of suitable design and
I enrich the same by applying, thereto enrichments made from lengths of wood of
suitable cross section which are turned in a lathe in such a manner as to provide
a central core and the desired pattern to form the enrichment the lengths thus
worked being then cut into two or more parts longitudinally each of such parts
forming a length of enrichment.
"
By this means it will be obvious that I can produce at a very low cost a large
number of different patterns suitable for enriching mouldings.
:
The enrichments of the mouldings produced by my invention present the appear-
ance of carved work.

page_text: Improvements in the Manufacture of Wood Mouldings.
I GEORGE WELLER BUTT, of 56, Wilbury Road, Hove, in the county of Sussex,
Timber Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and the manner
in which the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:―
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of wood mouldings,
the object of the improvements being to obtain an enriched moulding at a compara-
tively low cost of production.
:
For this purpose I take ordinary steam struck or other mouldings of suitable
design and I enrich the same by applying thereto enrichments made from lengths
of wood of suitable cross section which are turned in a lathe in such a manner as
to provide a central core and the desired pattern to form the enrichment the lengths
thus worked being then cut into two or more parts longitudinally each of such
parts forming a length of enrichment.
By this means it will be obvious that I can produce at a very low cost a large
number of different patterns suitable for enriching mouldings.
The enrichments of the mouldings produced by my invention present the appear-
ance of carved work.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood. I will describe the same
by reference to the accompanying drawing.
Figures 1 and 2 represent a front elevation and, cross section of a portion of
ordinary steam struck moulding to which, by way of example, I will describe the
application of my invention; figures 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 are front elevations and
figures 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 are cross sections of two examples of my enrichments
in the various stages of manufacture; figures 15 and 16 are a front elevation and
cross section respectively of the moulding shewn in figures 1 and 2 with enrich-
ments applied thereto according to my invention. Similar letters in all the figures
represent similar parts.
In order to enrich a moulding such as is shewn in figures 1 and 2 so as to
present the appearance illustrated by figures 15 and 16, I take a length of wood
of the section shewn in figure 4 and of which figure 3 is an elevation, and turn it
in a lathe so as to produce what I term a central core a and projections b b to form
the required pattern of enrichment as shewn in figures 5 and 6; I then cut the
length worked in this manner into four parts longitudinally by sawing it across
in the direction indicated by the dotted lines in figure 6, whereby I produce four
lengths of enrichment of the pattern shewn in figures 7 and 8, which lengths I then
fix in any suitable manner to the moulding as shewn at A in figures 15 and 16;
I then take another piece of wood of the shape shewn in figures 9 and 10, and work
it (in the manner hereinbefore described when referring to figures 3 and 4) into
the shape shewn in figures 11 and 12; I then cut it longitudinally into four parts
thereby producing lengths of enrichments of the pattern shewn in figures 13 and 14
which lengths, marked B in figures 15 and 16, I attach to the moulding in a like
manner to the lengths of pattern A.

page_text: It will be obvious from the preceding description that the patterns or designs of
the enrichments can be greatly varied, the accompanying drawing merely being
given as illustrations of a simple way of carrying out my invention, and I would
here remark that in the case of an enrichment such as that represented in figures 7
and 8, it will be readily understood that in some cases the central core a, thereof
can be formed in the manner herein before described the parts or projections b, b, of
the enrichment being formed and applied separately from the said core a.
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. The method herein described of manufacturing wood mouldings by the use of
enrichments made in the manner herein before described.
2. The manufacture and use of enrichments for wood mouldings made of lengths
of wood of suitable cross section turned in a lathe and then cut into two or more
parts longitudinally substantially as herein before described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawing.
3. The manufacture and use of the improved wood mouldings as hereinbefore
described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
