PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Henry Faulder at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 12th June 1882.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN MACHINERY OR APPARATUS EMPLOYED TO PRINT IMPRESS OR
EMBOSS SUGAR MEDALS OR LOZENGES FOR ADVERTISEING PURPOSES
"
My Invention relates to improvements in the dies employed in machines for
printing or embossing with letters figures or other matter for advertiseing purposes
the sugar medals or lozenges made from lozenge paste and is specially applicable
for use in the class of machine known as the "French Lozenge machine" in which
machine the impressions can be made on both sides of the medal or lozenge at the
same time but is also applicable to other machines. Previous to my Invention the
die and holder was in one piece and could only be used for the same matter whereas
by my Invention the die and holder are separate and the same holder made to
receive consecuitively any required number of die plates whereby I am enabled to
effect a comparatively great saving in the cost of dies. The novel feature of the
Invention consisting in the employment of removable die plates. In lieu of
engraving the inatter onto the face of each die I form each die with a turned recess.
into which is fastened by means of wax any required die plate which can be
readily removed therefrom and a fresh plate inserted when required

My Invention relates to improvements in the dies or punches employed in
machinery or apparatus for printing or embossing advertiscing matter-as for

page_text: example letters words designs or combinations thereof, on lozenges or medals made
from lozenge paste, and the improvements consist in the novel application and use
of removable stereotype or electrotype die plates to the holders in lieu of useing
engraved dies or of permanently fixed plates as heretofore employed whereby the
process of engraving each die or useing permanent plates are dispensed with which I
consider an important and novel feature of my Invention as the cost of the dies is
considerably reduced as compared with the use of engraved dies or of permanently
fixed plates. The impressions made on the lozenges or medals either in relief
(raised) or intaglio (sunken) by the said removable stereotype or electrotype die
plates are equally clean and defined as by the use of engraved dies. The Invention
is specially applicable for use in the French Lozenge Die Machine in which machine
a series of dies are mounted and in which impressions can be produced on both
faces of the lozenges or nedals simultaneously but the invention is equally
applicable to other descriptions of machine.
Previous to my Invention the advertiseing matter to be printed or impressed on
the lozenges or medals was engraved on the face of each die being formed with a
holder or stock, or was produced on plates which were permanently fixed and
combined with the holders or stocks, therefore such dies could only be used for the
original matter produced thereon which is objectionable on account of the expense
of engraving dies and in having to make and keep a great number of stocks or
holders.
In carrying my Invention into practical effect I use one set or series of stocks
or holders which may remain stationary when once mounted in the machine
The said stocks or holders are each mounted to receive a portable or removable
stereotype or electrotype die plate taken from a suitably prepared matrix or mould
in the ordinary manner. Each said plate or series of plates can be expeditiously
applied to or removed from the said stocks or holders each holder being used
successively for any required number of die plates. Each holder or stock may
be formed with a recess to receive the die plate which plate is caused to adhere
firmly to the holder by means of wax which can when it may be required to
use a fresh plate be readily melted and the plate removed.
Having now defined the nature and object of my said Invention I would have it
to be distinctly understood that I claim the combination and use in machines for
the purpose specified of "removable" or "portable" stereotype or electrotype die
plates in lieu of engraved dies or of permanently fixed plates as heretofore used.
In Witness whereof I the said Henry Faulder have hereunto set my hand
and seal this sixteenth day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and eighty two

said Henry Faulder
