PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Method of Preparing Decorative, Advertising,
and like Surfaces.
I, ALBERT WILLIAM NOAD, 87A, Cherry Orchard Road, East Croydon, Sign
Writer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of a new or improved method of preparing decorative,
advertising and like surfaces. The object of my invention is to prevent the
deterioration of the material which I employ. For instance, when applying my
invention to lettering for signs, I employ a transparent material such as glass,
which I provide at a suitable part thereof with, say for instance, gilt, gold
leaf, paint or other required substance, for the purpose of giving the required
effect. The glass or transparent substance may be of any required shape, con-
figuration and size and is embedded in a cement or other suitable material carried
upon the required support or surface. This cement is preferably of the class.
which is known as set hard." It will be seen that the substance giving the
required effect will be protected from atmospheric and other influences, owing
to its being embedded or covered by the cement or other material, and owing to
the transparency of the material which carries the required decorative substance,
the effect may be seen. I may if desired interpose the required substance between
two transparent ones, and cement or seal them together, and then support or embed
them in a suitable cement or substance.

A New or Improved Method of Preparing Decorative, Advertising,
and like Surfaces.
I, ALBERT WILLIAM NOAD, 87A, Cherry Orchard Road, East Croydon, Sign
Writer, 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:-
This invention consists of a new or improved method of preparing decorative,
advertising and like surfaces. The object of my invention is to prevent the
deterioration of the material which I employ. For instance, when applying my
invention to lettering for signs, I employ a transparent material such as glass.
which I provide at a suitable part thereof with, say for instance, guilt, gold
leaf, paint or other required substance for the purpose of giving the required

page_text: effect. The glass or transparent substance may be of any required shape, con-
figuration and size and is embedded in a cement or other suitable material carried
upon the required support or surface. This cement is preferably of the class
which is known as set hard. It will be seen that the substance giving the
required effect will be protected from atmospheric and other influences, owing
to its being embedded or covered by the cement or other material, and owing to
the transparency of the material which carries the required decorative substance,
the effect may be seen. I may if desired interpose the required substance between
two transparent ones, and cement or seal them together, and then support or embed
them in a suitable cement or substance.
:
For purposes of illustration, I will now refer to the annexed drawings in
which:
-
Figure 1, is a front elevation of a letter having a decorative surface in accord-
ance with my invention.
Figure 2, cross section through line X Y in Figure 1.
Figure 3, cross section of a modification.
Referring to Figures 1 and 2, 6 are the strips of glass or small squares which
are embedded in the cemente which is carried upon the support a, which may be
wood or any suitable material. and which has the required configuration according
to circumstances. The cement as may be seen, enters between the pieces more
or less, and is of any suitable material. The substance, such as gold leaf giving
the required effect is carried upon the strips or pieces of glass in any convenient
manner, and by being embedded in the cement is protected from atmospheric
and other influences which might render the substance liable to deterioration, and
owing to the transparency of the material which carries the required decorative
substance, the effect may be viewed or seen through said transparent material.
The modification shewn in Figure 3 illustrates the adaptation of my invention to
a concave instead of a convex surface, but it will be readily understood that the
configuration or shape of the surface to which the strips or small pieces of glass
are attached may be varied according to circumstances. I may if desired inter-
pose the required substance between two transparent ones, and cement or seal
them together, and thus support or embed them in a suitable cement or substance.
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 improved method of preparing decorative advertising and like surfaces,
substantially as described and illustrated herein and for the purpose set forth.
2. In means for preparing decorative surfaces in combination, a base or sup-
port of the required configuration, a layer of cement upon said base or support,
pieces of glass carrying decorative matter upon one side, and which side is
embedded in the cement, substantially as described and illustrated herein and for
the purpose set forth.
