Improved Means for Use in Applying Black or Coloured Bordering
to Paper or the like.
I PHILIBERT GAGNIEUR of 35 Quai St. Vincent Lyons in the Republic of
France, Stationer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this invention is to facilitate the application of black or colour to
the borders or other parts of paper or the like and it is principally intended for use
in the manufacture of mourning stationery.
The improved machine comprises a table upon which is placed a raised tablet of
the same shape as the outline of the sheet of paper to receive the bordering..
Over this table is suitably supported a plunger carrying a frame in which are
resiliently supported other plungers the lower ends of which carry thin plates of
the same size and shape as the blanks or white spaces to be left uncoated of the
paper, and properly spaced so that when lowered upon a pile of ready cut paper on
the table aforesaid, the only parts of the upper sheet of paper left uncovered are
those parts which are to be covered with black or colour which may then be
applied to the plate by hand or mechanically by means of a brush. After then.
lifting the plungers the coated sheet is removed and the plungers are again brought
down upon the next sheet which is similarly coated, the operation being repeated!
until the pile is exhausted.
Pedal or other gear may be provided for moving the plungers.

Improved Means for Use in Applying Black or Coloured Bordering
to Paper or the like.
I, PHILIBERT GAGNIEUR of 35. Quai St. Vincent, Lyons in the Republic of
France, Stationer, 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 this invention is to facilitate the application of black or color to
the borders or other parts of paper or the like and it is principally intended for use
in the manufacture of mourning stationery.
The improved machine comprises a table upon which is placed a raised tablet of
the same shape as the outline of the sheet of paper to receive the bordering.
Over this table is suitably supported a plunger carrying a frame in which are
resiliently supported other plungers the lower ends of which carry thin plates of
the same size and shape as the blanks or white spaces to be left uncoated of the
paper, and properly spaced so that when lowered upon a pile of ready cut paper on
the table aforesaid the only parts of the upper sheet of paper left uncovered are
Paid 1.

page_text: those parts which are to be covered with black or color which may then be applied
to the sheet by hand or mechanically by means of a brush. After then lifting the
plungers the conted sheet is removed and the plungers are again brought down
upon the next sheet which is similarly coated the operation being repeated until the
pile is exhausted.
Pedal or other gear may be provided for moving the plungers.
A machine of this nature is shown in the annexed drawing in which
Fig. 1 is an elevation of the machine and Fig. 2 a horizontal section on line x y
of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a specimen of paper bordered by the arrangement of plungers shown in
the drawing the shaded parts being those left uncovered by the plates attached to
the plungers.
A is a frame b the table, s is the plate placed upon the table b, C is a lever
connected at one end by rod t to the lever d which is on the same shaft as the
pedal levere which carries the pedal p and is upheld by the counterforce of
weight pacting through a pivotted lever engaging under a pin on the lever e.
The other end of lever C is attached to the plunger i carrying the plate K which is
also guided by the rod j passing through lugs in the head of frame A. The plate K
carries the rods 11 each bearing at its base a plate n nn¹n appropriate to the
shape of the blank space it is to cover. The plates may be recessed below and
have bevelled edges.
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 1
claim is :-
1. The machinery for use in applying bordering to paper or the like comprising
a table and plungers carrying plates for protection of the blank spaces of the paper
or the like movable to and from said table substantially as and for the purpose set
forth.
2. The construction of the machine substantially as herein described.
Dated this 9th day of December 1895.
