PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION:
Improvements in the Construction of Glazed or Glossy Surfaces for
Walls, Ceilings, and the like.
I, JAMES ELY, of 8 Midgley Place, Woodhouse, in the City of Leeds, Mason,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as follows:-
My invention consists in employing enamelled iron plates, tiles, bricks, or the
Like, of a special construction and having a glazed or enamelled surface for
producing glazed or glossy surfaces for walls, ceilings, and the like, by which they
are rendered damp and fire proof, and the said surfaces are much more durable
than those heretofore in use.
According to my invention I construct the said plates, tiles, bricks, or the like
with a bent or turned back edge, so as to form a cavity which is filled in with
cement, or a mixture of powdered slag and powdered coke or breeze, formed into
a plastic or adhesive state by means of water, they are then placed on the walls.or
the like, which have been previously prepared with a thin coating of cement and
sand by which they are caused to adhere to the walls, ceilings, or the like.
The said plates, tiles, bricks, or the like, are enamelled or glazed either plain or
otherwise before fixing in the manner aforesaid.
Dated this 18th day of May 1895.
