Improvements in the Manufacture of Splash Screens.
We ROBERT WILLIAM BRUMBY and SIMPSON CLARKE, of Baker Street, Hull in

said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SPLASH SCREENS,"
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
A Splash Screen is a device for protecting the wall of a room from the splashing of
water from a Lavatory, or washstand, or for other similar purposes. Plain colored or
ornamented paper is sometimes used, such paper being usually mounted on, or lined
with cotton or other similar substance.
The Object of our Invention is to improve upon this mode of manufacturing Splash
Screens, by means of which they may be rendered more durable.
We effect this in the following manner. In lieu of paper mounted on, or lined with
Cotton or other similar substance, we employ sheets of material made from Manilla Fibre,
such sheets being afterwards coated with a Chromo surface, upon which may be printed
various designs, and afterwards finished in transparent varnish; Splash Screens thus
prepared are untearable and may be easily washed.
The essential feature of our Invention for "Improvements in the Manufacture of
Splash Screens," consists in the application of a material made from Manilla fibre into
sheets resembling paper and afterwards coating such sheets with a Chromo surface,
upon which may be printed in the usual way picturesque or ornamental designs, the
printed matter being protected by a coat of transparent varnish or otherwise.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our Invention, and
in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is :-
(1.) In the manufacture of Splash Screens, the application of material made from
Manilla Fibre into sheets, and afterwards coating such sheets with a Chromo surface,
upon which may be printed picturesque or ornamental designs, substantially as herein
before described.
