Multiple Way Cock.
Year: 1898

page_text: Multiple Way Cock.
I, ANTON BURCHARTZ, of 69, Schloss, Strasse, Düsseldorf, in the Empire of Germany,
Engineer, 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:-
Under this invention there is provided a multiple way or combination cock for use
principally for drawing beer, or other liquid by means of pressure, such as
carbonic acid, or air pressure. According to this invention the cock has multiple
ways, or passages, and by the use of this cock either several casks can be connected
at the same time, or singly with the vessel containing the compressed gas.
A cock according to this invention can be used also as a tap for drawing several
different kinds of beer or other liquids either together, or separately from the same
tap, or the tap may be used for bath purposes for drawing cold, hot or tepid water.
The improved cock is shown in annexed drawings in which Fig. 1 is a vertical
section through the line xx, Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 is a horizontal section through the
line y y Fig. 1.
In the example shown in the drawings a is the branch having a passage a' to which
the vessel containing say the carbonic acid gas is attached or connected. The
compressed gas passes into the cock through the branch a and passage a¹, and
through the forked way b of the cock to the three branches c, c1, c2, to which are
fixed or connected the pipes which lead to three different casks, say of beer or any
other liquid, by means of couplings d or other connections.
The cock is also provided with the three ways e, e¹, e², so that if the cock is
turned to 90° a communication can be made by means of the way e² between the
branch or pipe c², and the branch a, by turning the cock more this communication
is closed and the branch c¹ is put into communication with the branch a through
the way e, and by turning the cock more the branch c¹ is closed and the branch c
is opened to the branch a through the way e.
The different combinations, and communications are effected through the
passage a¹ formed in the body of the cock, and where more than three ways are
required more ways can be provided in the plug of the cock.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A multiple way, or combination cock having a branch or pipe such as a, and a
passage a¹, branches or pipes c, c³, c², a forked way b, and straight ways e, e¹, e² by
which the branch a can be put in communication with the branches c, c¹ c² at the
same time through the way b or singly through the ways e, e', e² as set forth.

I, IAN GRUBINSKI, of Bracka 3, Warsaw, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of
my said 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 relates to a steam superheater, composed of circular chambers
partly divided by means of an annular disc into compartments, and its object is to
prolong the passage of the steam in these compartments, and to split up the steam
into small currents. And in order that my said invention may be particularly
described and ascertained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in
which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1, is a sectional elevation, and Fig. 2, is a side view of the annular disc.
The superheater consists of two correspondingly formed buckled circular
plates a a riveted or bolted together at their peripheries, as shown in Fig. 1.
b is a
disc of rather smaller diameter than the plates a a arranged and secured between the
plates a a, by screw bolts, rivets, or any other suitable means. On both sides of the
disc bare secured a number of spirally arranged angle irons c, the projecting flanges
of which are of such dimensions as to extend to the plates a a.
By means of these angle irons c (the curves of which can be varied to accord with
any suitable design) the compartments are divided into a number of spiral passages
on each side of the disc b. The steam to be superheated enters at or near the centre
and becomes divided into a number of currents corresponding with the number of
angle irons; taking the courses indicated by the arrows in Figure 2 until it reaches
the outer edge of the disc b, round which it passes to the other side of the dise
wherein it pursues an opposite course, to that above described through similar
passages to or towards the centre of the superheater from whence it is withdrawn.
By means of my invention the steam is divided into a number of small currents
travelling through long passages whereby the heating is accelerated. Also by reason
of the angleirons extending to the exterior walls, heat by conduction is communicated
from one plate to the other thus rendering the apparatus more effective.
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
In a superheater for steam, the combination of two buckled annular plates a a
united together to form a chamber which is partly divided by means of an annular
plate band which chamber is further divided into a number of spiral or analogous
channels substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the drawings.

page_text: I, GEORG QUELLMANN, of Hotel St. Petersburg, Hamburg, in the German Empire,
Merchant, 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 :-
The object of the present invention is a propeller arrangement for steamers and
like vessels, in which the screw is not keyed directly to the main shaft of the engine
or petroleum or like motor, but to a separate shaft arranged parallel to the main shaft
and driven by the latter by means of any suitable transmission gear.
One mode of carrying out the invention is illustrated in the annexed drawing, in
which
Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of the whole propeller arrangement.
Fig. 2 shows a modified way of carrying out the invention.
Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line a- of Fig. 1.
The main shaft (a) is suitably arranged at a higher level than usual and preferably
above the water level W-W. It is supported in bearings in the propeller frame and
on it is mounted a chain wheel (b) between the inner stern-post and the rudder-post.
The screw (C) is fast to a separate shaft parallel to the main shaft and supported in
suitable bearings like the main shaft (a). Below the chain wheel (b) is a second
chain wheel (e) keyed to the auxiliary shaft (d). The dimensions of this second
chain wheel (e) are preferably sinaller than those of the chain wheel (b) to obtain an
accelerated rotation of the auxiliary shaft (d). A driving chain is placed over the
two wheels (b and e) to transmit the motion of the shaft (a) to the shaft (d). By the
aforesaid arrangement and especially by providing the auxiliary shaft it is attained
that the engine can work at reduced speed without thereby reducing the speed of
the propeller screw.
To reduce the slip it is advisable to provide the screw with eight blades instead
of four, as illustrated in Fig. 3. These blades are identical in their shape. The
propeller screw is secured to the shaft (d) in any suitable manner by means of screw
bolts or the like.
To increase the speed of the shaft (d) still further an intermediate gear may be
provided. It will be necessary for this purpose to provide a third shaft in the pro-
peller frame. A chain wheel fast to this shaft receives motion from the main shaft (a),
which motion is transmitted by a second chain wheel to the auxiliary shaft (d). The
arrangement is otherwise similar to the above described. If required the main shaft
may be situated beneath the auxiliary shaft.
Any other suitable transmission gear may be employed, such for instance as a series.
of cogged wheels.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
An improved carow unanalla NAM

An Improved Device for Holding Wool, Thread, and similar Yarns
during the Process of Knitting, Crochetting, and the like.
•
I, HENRY PERCY GORMANSTON STEEDMAN, of The Point, Wandsworth, London, S.W.,
Engineer, 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 relates to an improved device for holding wool, thread and similar
yarns during the process of knitting, crochetting and the like, and has for object to
provide a winding device on which wool and other yarns may be wound during the
process of knitting or the like, whereby such wool, for instance, may be free from the
risk of entanglement with surrounding objects, while at the same time it can be.
readily unwound as occasion requires.
In order that this iny invention may be the more readily understood and carried into
practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying sheet of illustrative
drawings, wherein :-
Fig. 1, is an elevational view of the device shewn independently, and Fig. 2, a
similar view of the device in use.
Referring to the drawings, a is a length of wire or other suitable material which is bent
or otherwise fashioned into a skeleton frame 6 of an approximately rectangular shape,
the sides of such frame b converging towards one another at b¹. One end of the wire
or the like a is joined to the main portion at a', while to the other end a² is fitted a
swivel c, fixed to, or formed integral with, a hook d, or safety pin or other suitable
equivalent, which is adapted to fix upon a mantle-shelf or any other convenient object
above the ground, when the device is in use. The yarn e is wound upon the device
in the ordinary manner, the un-winding being easily effected as the frame revolves
upon the swivel c during such operation. It will be seen that an almost unlimited
length of yarn can be wound upon the frame b, without greatly increasing the bulk of
the latter, as when the yarn is wound tightly, the sides of such frame being resilient
and of the peculiar form shewn, converge to a greater extent towards one another as
the winding progresses.
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 :-
The improved device for holding wool, thread and similar yarns during the process
of knitting, crochetting and the like, consisting in a resilient frame of approximately
rectangular form, having two sides converging towards each other, and attached
by means of a swivel, to a suspending hook, subsequently as described and
illustrated.

An improvement in on vapour burners.
I, JOHN SOLOMON VIVIAN BICKFORD, of Camborne, in the County of Cornwall,
Engineer, 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:-
My invention relates to the construction of an oil vapour burner which I shall
describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a plan and Fig. 2 is a side elevation.
I fix together four pipes A, B, C, D, somewhat inclined and forming a square, with
bends at the corners, the pipe A forming the first side of the square is joined to a
vertical pipe V which stands up from a boss on base E.
This boss has oil injected into it by a pipe F from an elevated vessel or a vessel in
which the oil is under air pressure. The pipe D forming the fourth side of the square
passes over the first pipe A and is jointed to a vertical pipe G leading down some
distance to a horizontal pipe H which leads to a vertical jet pipe J directly under the
centre of the square.
Immediately over the jet pipe J there is fixed, on two sides of the square, a deflect-
ing metal plate K. The square of pipes being in the first place heated by a tem-
porary fire or flame under them, the injected oil is vaporised and the vapour descends
by the pipe G to the central jet J whence it issues and is ignited the flame being
deflected by the plate K and heating the square of pipes so as to vaporise succeeding
supplies of oil, which maintain the flame.
Instead of connecting the pipes by bends, as shewn, they might obviously be coD-
nected by elbows and for some of the elbows might be substituted Ts each having
one of its openings closed by a screwed plug which might be removed to give access
to the pipe for cleaning.
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 :-
An oil vapour burner constructed and operating substantially as described.

We, WRIGHT HOWARTH, JAMES EDWARD HOWARTII, and THOMAS WILSON GRANT,
all of Knutsford Vale Dyeworks, Longsight, Manchester, in the County of 'Lancaster,
Dyers and Finishers, 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:-
Our object is to form a mixture of suitable chemicals, which shall be readily
adapted for use, either in manufacture or in a domestic manner, for rendering
cotton and other light fabrics non-inflammable.
This we accomplish by combing sal ammoniac and borax, or sal ammonia,
borax and stannate of soda, in about equal proportions, either in solution or powder.
This combination lends itself readily for domestic and other uses and is con-
veniently stored and kept, but it will be readily understood that in factory use,
for various fabrics, a slight modification in the proportions is occasionally advan-
tageous and we do not therefore confine ourselves to these exact proportions in all
cases, although they are usually the best. In use the combination is mixed with
water, with which the fabric to be treated is saturated and then dried in any
ordinary manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
The combination of chemicals, substantially as, and in the proportions described
hereinbefore, for the purpose set forth.

Substances.
I, ROBERT RICKIE, of Messrs. Rickie & Company, Bangalore Iron Works,
Bangalore City, India, 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 relates to a tool for turning up the surface of emery and
corundum wheels, grindstones and turning or planing granite and other
materials.
Hitherto it has been customary to employ, for turning emery wheels, a diamond
inserted in the end of a bar of steel, the said steel bar being held in a slide
rest so that the diamond tool can be held against the surface of the wheel to be
turned up.
Now according to my invention I dispense with the use of a diamond and in
lieu thereof I employ a steel roller, the said roller being provided with teeth
upon its periphery and being rotatably mounted in a slide rest so that the
toothed periphery can be applied to the surface to be trued.
To enable the invention to be fully understood I will describe it by reference
to the accompanying drawings in which:--
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a device made according to the invention; and,
Figure 2 is a sectional plan thereof.
a is my steel roller the periphery of the said roller being formed with teeth
by any suitable means. In the drawing the teeth are shewn as made by means
of grooves b, b and c, c at right angles to one another the grooving producing
cutting points or teeth over the whole of the peripheral surface. The roller
is loosely mounted upon a spindle & carried in a frame e which can move in
the slide f, the movement being effected by means of the screwed spindle g which
works in a nut h in the frame e. The slide works between inclined guides
formed upon a support i, its movement in the said guides being effected by the
hand lever which is hinged at its lower end at j' to the support and is con-
nected by the link k to the said slide f.
To true up or plane an emery wheel, grindstone or the like with my improved
tool the steel roller a is advanced by means of the screwed rod g against the
periphery of the rotating emery or other wheel, the roller revolving on the
spindle d when it comes in contact with the surface to be planed. By means of
the hand lever j the necessary movement parallel to the surface to be planed
is obtained.
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:-

Improvements in Vulcanite Mouthpieces for Tobacco-pipes.
I, JEAN GEORGE BLATTER, of 110, High Street, Homerton, in the County of
London, Factory Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:
Hitherto when vulcanite has been used in the manufacture of mouth pieces
for tobacco pipes and the screw (or, in the case of "push" joints, the tubular
projection) to connect the mouthpiece to the stem of the pipe has been fashioned
out of the same piece of material as that of which the mouthpiece itself was
made, the screw or tubular projection, as the case might be, has (except where
the size of the pipe allowed of the use of great thickness of material) been apt
to snap when in use. My invention is intended to obviate this defect. I take
a piece of vulcanite, and having generally fashioned one end as a mouthpiece
and bored the smoke passage, m, I bore the end of the mouthpiece that will be
nearest the stem of the pipe so that it may exactly take a tube marked, b, in
the drawing herewith; reference to which drawing will help to explain my inven-
tion. This tube is of bone or other suitable material, and has a screw, s, cut
on its outer surface for a short length from the end which is to pass into the
mouth piece, M; whilst the bore of the mouthpiece is threaded in the part shown
in the drawing so as to take the screw, s, on the tube. I then screw the tube,
b, home into the mouthpiece. Having strengthened the vulcanite by backing
or lining it with the tube of bone or other suitable material I cut a screw, A,
(to fit the thread in the stem of the pipe) on it, taking care not to cut the
screw, A, (or the tubular projection where the "push" form of joint is preferred)
for a greater distance from the end of the mouthpiece that is intended to pass
into the stem of the pipe than so as to leave a short distance, say one quarter
inch for an average sized pipe, between the ends of the screw, A, on the outside,
and of the screw, s, on the inside, which are nearest each other. A vulcanite
joint constructed according to my invention is much less apt to snap, when
fairly used, than one constructed in any of the modes hitherto in vogue.
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:
The mode of constructing a screw or push joint on a vulcanite mouthpiece
for a tobacco pipe substantially as above described.

Improvements in and relating to Collar, Tie, or like Fasteners.
THOMAS FREDERICK EDWARDS, of 69, Sherrard Road Forest Gate, Essex, Secretary
and Manager, 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 relates to fasteners employed in securing in position the tie to
the collar and its object is to provide a secure fastener easily adjusted.
The invention consists generally in providing a strip of metal bent to approxi-
mately an S section, having one limb of the S to embrace the tie while the other
embraces the collar provision being made centrally on the strips to clear the collar,
stud, or button and further secure the fastener.
The accompanying drawing illustrates in prospective a view of the improved
fastener.
,
In carrying the invention into effect as illustrated the construction and operation
is as follows.
A strip of any suitable metal is cut or punched in the flat of such a form that
when bent as shown in the drawing two hooks A, A, project from a plate B which
at either end also form hooks C, C, the cross section of the whole being approxi-
mately S shaped. The plate B at or about its centre is cut with an indentation D
preferably V shaped.
When in use the fastener is inserted in an upward direction in such a manner
that the indentation D embraces the stud or button either at the front or back of
the neck while the collar enters the hooks C C and the tie is passed through the
hooks A A. It is evident that the fastener will prevent the tie from rising while
the indentation D catching on the stud or button will secure the clip centrally.
The whole fastener is preferably arranged of a curvature nearly that of the collar
and tie when in position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim
18:-
The improved fastener for securing the tie to the collar either at the back or
front of the neck substantially as herebefore described with reference to the accom-
panying drawing. .

Improved Automatic Gas Igniter for Incandescent Mantles.
I, FRANZ JUHASZ, of 32, Augsburgerstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany,
Merchant, 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 for an improved automatic gus igniter for incandescent mantles
has for its object to provide an automatic ignition device in connection with the
mantle, that shall effect the lighting of the gas on its issue from the burner, and
thus dispense with the use of matches or the like and consists essentially in an
ignition substance placed in the point or head of the mantle and capable of
absorbing the gas and air mixture, under the action of which it becomes incan-
descent, and consequently ignites the gases. The igniting substance is produced
by preparing a very light asbestos-tissue and steeping it in a one per cent. solution
of palladium salt.
The particular palladium salt is decomposed by incandescence, air being excluded
during the process, and the haloid evaporated. The palladium thus remains in
the pores of the asbestos, and causes the ignescence and ignition of the gas.
The advantages of the ignition device consist specially in the considerable
saving of time effected and above all in the avoidance of any danger of damaging
or destroying the mantle when the ignition is effected.
As only a very weak solution of palladium salt is employed and but very small
quantities of the igniting substance need he introduced into the head of the
incandescent mantle, the cost of production is not very great.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. Automatic gas igniting device for incandescent mantles, the distinguishing
feature of which is an incandescent body, produced by steeping an asbestos fissue
in a one per cent. solution of a palladium salt and subsequent heating to incan-
descence under exclusion of the air, and when placed in the head of each mantle
upon being brought into contact with the mixture of air and gas, becomes incan-
descent, and thereby ignites the mixture, for the purpose of dispensing with the
labour of igniting, (by means of automatic ignition of the gas, on the cock being
opened), and thereby preventing as far as possible the damaging or destruction of
the incandescent mantle.

Improvements in Mechanical Toys.
I, GEORGE FREDERICK LÜTTICKE, of 5/6 Elisabeth-Ufer, Berlin, in the Empire
of Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention refers to pin-jointed figures of flat metal and means for impart-
ing natural movements to the same.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 and 2 a monkey is chosen for illustration
and example.
The figure consists of flat metal pieces a, b, d and f which are pin-jointed by
pins e for the purpose of articulate motion of the different parts or joints.
The terminal top piece f is firmly connected by suitable means h with one end
of a connecting rod g which is arranged to move in suitable guides i fixed to or
raised out of the terminal lower piece a.
In this way the top piece which is fixed to the rod g is made to move in a
particular way that is: bodily with no revolving motion in the direction of the
rods movement. By means of the movements of the two terminal pieces in
relation to each other distinct movements are imparted to the intermediate pieces
so that no further contrivances are necessary for controlling their action. In view
of the concurrent respective movements of the different pieces thus obtained it
is immaterial from what point initial motion is imparted; such initial motion
may be applied either to the rod g or to one of the constituent pieces. A spring k
may be used for exerting pressure to the rod g in one direction. This spring k
may pass through a hole 7 of the rod g. Means for limiting motion may be
obtained from either suitable projections oo on the rod g acting as stops or a
projection p, stamped out of the metal of one piece, moving in an aperture
stamped out of the piece which is jointed to it as shown in Fig. 2.
The respective proportions of such projection and aperture determine the extent
of the movements of all the parts.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim, is:-
1. Pin-jointed toy-figures consisting of a number of flat metal-pieces in com-
bination with a connecting rod suitably fixed to one terminal piece and arranged
in guides on or about the other terminal piece, so that the intermediate pieces
are made to perform distinct movements when either the connecting rod or one of
the constituent pieces receives initial motion, as shown and herein before described.

page_text: 2. The contrivance in pin-jointed figures, as per Claim 1, of suitable stops
limiting motion, as shown and herein before described.
3. The improvements in pin-jointed toy-figures, as shown and hereinbefore
described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Embrocation applicable to the Use of Human Beings,
Horses, Sheep, and other Cattle.
I, FLORENCE WESTWOOD, of Burton House, Lorne Park Road, Bournemouth, in
the County of Hampshire, Gentlewoman, 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:-
-
My invention relates to an improved embrocation applicable to the use of
human beings, horses, sheep and other cattle composed of vaseline, spirits of
camphor, liquid ammonia, spirits of turps, soft soap, and oil of citronella in the
following proportions:-
4 pounds of vaseline.
6 ounces of spirits of camphor.

Mould for Pressed Hard Rubber Combs.
I, CARL BLOCH, of 56, Leipziger Strasse, Berlin, Germany, Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The present invention consists of a steel mould for use in making pressed hard
rubber combs, the said mould having the teeth for the coarser end of the comb
engraved therein.
And in order to render the present specification more easily intelligible reference
is had to the accompanying drawing in which similar letters of reference denote
similar parts throughout the several views:
Fig. 1 is a plan of one half of a double comb mould,
Fig. 2 a side elevation of the two halves of the mould fixed together and
Fig. 3 a cross section through the mould.
Hitherto hard rubber combs have been first formed in plain moulds having
both halves of the impression similar to the parts shown at ab of the accompany-
ing drawing. The teeth were then formed in both halves by a series of sub-
sequent operations, causing considerable expense and loss of time. According to
the present invention, the coarse teeth are engraved in the mould as shown at ed
in Figure 1. Thus the rubber in being pressed will be forced into the depressions
in the mould forming the coarse teeth of the comb, and may be taken out of its
foil covering, after vulcanisation, with the coarse teeth properly formed thereon.
The great amount of work, hitherto expended in forming the coarse teeth of
a comb in the desired manner, is thus obviated and the teeth, may according to
the shape of the mould have a conical or tapered form as desired.
The cross
section of the said teeth may be oval, round or triangular, or of any other suitable
shape. Not only will the comb have very smooth teeth, but the strength of the
various teeth is very considerably increased. The gradual changing of the cross
section of the teeth which are derived from the generally square back of the comb,
renders the attachment of the teeth and the comb back much more durable, so that
the teeth of combs formed in the mould as herein described will not so easily break
out as heretofore.
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:-
A mould for making pressed hard rubber combs, having depressions formed
thomain to form the
tooth

stantially as described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Process for Imitating Ivory Inlay.
I, OTTO RUEGER, Painter, of Zurich, in the Republic of Switzerland, do hereby
leclare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to an improved process for imitating ivory inlay for in-
stance in wood which can be carried out either by an etching or corroding process
by the use of substances which do not dry hard or which dry very slowly.
The process by etching or corroding is carried out by coating white wood with
a layer of oil glazing or oil color and then touching those places which have to
appear white to represent ivory inlay and which can be etched out for better
effect with oil of cloves, castor oil or the like which is washed off with soap and
water after some time.
The other method is effected by first varnishing the white wood, those places
which have to appear white being then coated with a substance which does not
dry hard for instance, tar, Venetian, turpentine lac varnish mixed with glycerine
or the like the whole surface is then coated with oil color or oil glazing and after
the latter has dried the tar or like substance is washed off with soap and water
carrying with it the coating of oil glazing or the like from such parts as were
previously covered by the tar or the like.
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 :-
1. An improved process for imitating ivory inlay whereby wood is coated with
a layer of oil glazing or oil color and those places, which must resemble ivory
and which can be etched out for better effect, are coated with oil of cloves, castor
oil or the like and are again washed off after some time.
2. A method of carrying out the before said process wherein white wood is first
varnished and those places which have to appear as ivory are coated with a sub-
stance which does not dry hard for instance tar, Venetian turpentine, lac varnish
mixed with glycerine or the like, and the whole surface is then coated with oil
color or oil glazing and after the latter has dried, the said substance which does
not dry hard is again washed off.
