Improvements in the Production of Confetti or the mat.
Year: 1898

page_text: I, ALBERT FARCAT, of 24, Cours St. André, Grenoble, Isère, in the Republic of
France, Builder, do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the production of confetti or the like for use at carnivals
and fêtes and has for its object to produce such articles or toys which can be
distinguished by their superior structure appearance and quality from those
hitherto in use.
According to my invention I make or form the confetti or the like of a pulp,
paste, composition, or mass of paper or cardboard, the said confetti being made in
any desired fancy shape or form, such as balls or ovoids or they may be cut out in
grotesque shapes or otherwise, they may be manufactured in any convenient man-
ner such as by moulding, drawing, stamping or cutting. My invention does not
relate so much to the particular method of manufacture as to the article in itself
which constitutes an entirely novel form of confetti or toy made of a pulp paste
or composition of paper or cardboard as aforesaid and possessing qualities quite
distinct from the confetti cut out from sheets of paper hitherto in use.
Confetti made in accordance with my invention are light while possessing
sufficient consistency and elasticity to enable them to hit distant objects or persons
aimed at which is not possible with confetti cut from paper; they may be made at
a very small cost and may be coloured or perfumed er, coloured and perfumed as
desired.
An exceptionally low price is reached by utilizing the uncoloured pastes or pulp
in the rough or pieces wasted and broken in manufacture or in use and returned
to the pulp vat.
I may mix with the paper or cardboard pulp or mass materials or products so
as to increase or diminish the hardness or toughness of the confetti when formed.

Improvements in the Production of Confetti or the mat.
I, ALBERT FARCAT, of 24, Cours St. André, Grenoble, Isère, in the Republic of
France, Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what man-
ner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
:--

distinguished by their superior structure appearance and quality from those
hitherto in use.
According to my invention I make or form the confetti or the like of a pulp,
paste, composition or mass of paper or cardboard or paper forming material the
said confetti being made in any desired fancy shape or form, such as balls, or
ovoids or they may be cut out in grotesque shapes or otherwise; they may be
manufactured in any convenient manner such as by moulding, drawing, stamping
or cutting. My invention does not relate so much to the particular method of
manufacture as to the article produced which constitutes an entirely novel form of
confetti or toy made of the pulp or paste as aforesaid and possessing qualities quite
distinct from the confetti cut out from sheets of paper hitherto in use.
Confetti made in accordance with my invention are light while possessing
sufficient consistency and elasticity to enable them to hit distant objects or persons
aimed at which it not possible with confetti cut from paper, they may be made at
a very small cost and may be coloured or perfumed or coloured and perfumed as
desired.
In their manufacture an exceptionally low price may be reached by utilizing
the uncoloured pastes or pulp in the rough or pieces or fragments wasted and
broken in manufacture or use and returned to the pulp vat. I may mix with the
paper or cardboard pulp or mass materials or products so as to increase or diminish
the hardness toughness or durability of the confetti or toy when formed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:-
As a new article of manufacture confetti or the like made from a pulp or paste
of paper or cardboard substantially as described.
