PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Process and Material for the Manufacture of Buttons,
Articles of Jewellery, Stands for Beer Glasses, Piano-keys,
Insulators for Electrical Apparatus, and other Articles.
I, RICHARD PAPE of Berlin in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to the use of finely sub-divided wood, such for instance as
veneer dust, fine sawdust or the like, for making compressed articles for various
purposes, which has the great advantage over the substances hitherto employed
that the objects formed therefrom by pressure, such for instance as buttons, articles
of jewellery, beer glass stands, piano-keys, insulators for electrical apparatus. and
the like, may be made in all kinds of various forms and colours. The non-liability
to breakage as well as the facility of working the compressed substances made
from the above named material, (which for instance is combined with a resin, such
as shellac dissolved in spirit) is essentially increased by reason of the felt-like or
inter-adherent fine fibres of the wood.
The finely sub-divided wood (such as veneer dust or fine and dry sawdust, and
the like) is kneaded with resin (such for instance as shellac dissolved in spirit) in
a suitable manner to a paste, then dried and finally again reduced to a fine dust-
like powder or fibres, this powder being afterwards compressed in suitably heated
moulds.
The colouring may be produced by dyeing or colouring the particles of wood
before the mixing or by using coloured woods, or the resin or lacquer employed in
solution may be dyed before it is poured on to the particles of wood to be kneaded
into a paste.

I, RICHARD PAPE of 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 ascertained in and by the following
statement:

purposes, which has the great advantage over the substances hitherto employed

from the above named material, (which for instance is combined with a resin, such
as shellac dissolved in spirit) is essentially increased by reason of the felt-like or
inter-adherent fine fibres of the wood.
The finely sub-divided wood (such as veneer dust or fine and dry sawdust, and
the like) is kneaded with resin (such for instance as shellac dissolved in spirit) in a
suitable manner to a paste, then dried and finally again reduced to a fine dust-like
powder or fibres, this powder being afterwards compressed in suitably heated
moulds.
The colouring may be produced by dyeing, or colouring the particles of wood
before the mixing, or by using coloured woods, or the resin or lacquer employed in
solution may be dyed before it is poured on to the particles of wood to be kneaded
into a paste.
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. An improved process for the manufacture of compressed articles of various
forms and colours, which consists in kneading finely sub-divided wood into a paste
with a dissolved resin, drying, reducing same to a powder and finally compressing
the latter in suitably heated moulds of the desired form, substantially as
herein before described.
2. An improved material for the manufacture of articles of various forms and
colours by means of compression in heated moulds, consisting of finely sub-divided
wood, kneaded into a paste with a dissolved resin, dried and reduced to a powder,
substantially as set forth.
