Mode of making the Tiles. Lift the Top Die H by the aid of the Fly Wheel, to
bring the Middle Die J level with the Box, then push in the Finger Plate to hold the
Middle Die J in position, fill in the openings of the Middle Die J with ground moist
clay, as shown by section on line C. D. Fig. No. 1. afterwards lower Top Die H down,
with a good force, it will then find its level on the Box, and give the right thickness
of the Tiles required, see Fig. No. 2. the Tiles are then made, lift up the Top Die H
by aid of the Fly Wheel, see Fig. No. 3. the Tiles can then be taken off.
By this process the Tiles can be made of an equal thickness, and several sizes of
Embossed and Geometrical Tiles, also Mosaics at one time.
I claim as my Invention the Tiles embossed both sides, also as my Invention the
Box or Mould, the Top Die H, with the regulating Plates, screwed to the Top Die to
fix the thickness of the Tiles required, the Middle Die J, the Bottom Die K, and
lifting slides, by this process the usual Treadle or lifting Rod is dispensed with.

JAMES DAVY DENNY, Meadow Cottage, Llangollen, N.. Wales (late of Newbridge,
Ruabon North Wales) Manager at the Pant Glazed Brick and Tile Works Ruabon,
North Wales, 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 :—
For splayed Mosaics, as shown on. Drawing filed with provisional Specification
and marked A. A. and B. B. to be used for Pavements and wall decoration of Public
and Private Buildings as may be required.
By the Mosaics being "splayed." you are enabled to get a close. joint, when the
Mosaics are fixed or laid in cement and they are not so likely to get loose; as those
that are not "splayed!" and at the present time are
being used.
The Box or Mould for making the said splayed Mosaics, Geometrical Tiles,
Embossed Tiles on either side, Tesseræ, imitation of Mosaics and. Encaustic Tiles, can
be made of Iron, Steel or Brass, as may be preferred, but the lifting Plate, marked M
on Drawing, should in any case be Steel.
Eig. No. 1 shews section on line C. D, and the moist ground clay in middle Die J,
ready for the Tiles to be made.
Fig. No. 2 shews section through. Box and the Tiles made..
Fig. No. 3 shews, section through Box, and the Tiles lifted to the top of the Box,
ready to be taken, off..
Fig. No. 4, shews side elevation at. F; part of Bed of Press, Box, lifting slide L
and Top Die H.
Fig. No. 5 shows elevation of lifting slide L from inside of Box.
Fig: No. 6 shews elevation at E, side of Box and elevation of Finger plate W.
Fig. No. 7 shews section on line A. B. through Box, bottom. Die K, and finger
Plate W.
Fig. No. 8, shews plan of Box,. (looking down) also top of middle Die J, and some
of the different.forms of Tiles that can be made..
Fig. No. 9, shews plan of bottom Die K, looking down..
Fig. No. 10, shews New Box and lifting slides, no treadle or lifting rod required.
Fig. No. 11 shews Box at present in use, with treadle or lifting rod.
Fig. No. 12, shews perspective view of an embossed Tile, with a Pattern on either
side.
Fig. No. 13, shews section through Box, and the moist ground clay in middle Die J,
ready for the splayed." Tiles to be made.

page_text: DD shews a section through and perspective view of an imitation of Mosaics, to be
pressed in one piece-can be made in any size from three inches up to foot square
if required these squares or Tiles are laid on a bed of cement, and the
indentations filled in or grouted with Slop Cement which gives the floor or Pavement
the appearance of real Mosaics.
spaces or
WA shews section of part of Box and Finger Plate, this plate is required in
making imitations of Mosaics.
EE see Fig. No. 1 shews projections on Plate R which "arrises" the Tiles.
Mode of making the Tiles. Lift the Top Die marked H on Drawing, by the aid of
the Fly Wheel of the Press, to bring the Middle Die J level with the face of the Box
marked N. then push in the Finger Plate W, to hold the Middle Die J in position, fill
in the openings in the Middle Die J. with ground moist clay (see Fig. No. 1.) and
section on line C. D, afterwards lower the Top Die down on to the face of the Middle
Die, then draw back the Finger Plate W, and send the Top Die further down with a
good force, it will then find its level with the face of the Box, and give the right
thickness of the Tiles required, see Fig. No. 2. the Tiles are then made, lift up the
Top Die H, by aid of the Fly wheel, see Fig. No. 3, to the level of the face of the
Box, the Tiles can then be taken off.
The imitation of Mosaics is made same as above, with the exception that after filling
the openings in the Middle Die, with moist ground clay, you pull back Finger
Plate W. A. see Fig. No. 15 so as to allow the middle Die to drop to the thickness
you require for the spaces or indentations in the Tile for the Cement, then fill in the
space between the face of the Middle Die and the face of the top of the Box N. with
moist ground clay, then draw back Finger Plate WA so as to allow the Middle Die
to find its position when forced down by the Top die, the Tile is then made.
By this process the Tiles can be made of an equal thickness, and different sizes and
shapes of Tiles can be made at the same time, see Fig. No. 8, thereby not requiring a
Die for every shape as is required by the Tile Presses now in use.

page_text: Eighty one, half inch Mosaics can be made at one stroke by my mode of making
Tiles, and will not make any "bedded" or "flaked" or air cracked Tiles.
Having now described the nature of my said Invention and manner of performing
the same I claim as my Invention
The "splayed" Mosaic marked A. A and B. B on Drawing, also the apparatus for
making the said "splayed" Mosaic, Geometrical Tiles, Embossed Tiles on either side,
Tesseræ, imitation of Mosaics and Encaustic Tiles, viz: The Box or Mould, the Top
Die H with Pattern Plate R. and the projection E. E. for "arrissing" the Tiles, the
regulating Plate S (screwed to the Top Die H to fix the thickness of the Tiles
required) the Middle Die J, the bottom Die K the lifting Slides L, and the Finger
Plates W. and W. A as shown on Drawing.
