An Improved Method of Marking or Denoting Emery Cloth, Glass.
Paper, and the like.
We WILLIAM MIALL FULLER and FREDERICK GEORGE WILLIAMS trading
in co-partnership as Fuller and Williams of The Birmingham Emery Mills, Louisa
Street, Parade, in the City of Birmingham, County of Warwick Manufacturers,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates as hereinafter described to an improved method of marking
or denoting emery cloth, glass paper and the like and has for its object to provide
a simple and efficient means whereby sheets of emery cloth or glass paper may
be marked either by printing or other suitable means in a manner that will enable
the size or granulation being denoted when the sheets have been divided.
The ordinary method of marking sheets of emery cloth or glass paper consists
of placing a large letter or figure on the back of the sheet consequently when the
sheet is torn or divided the letter or figure becomes obtruncated thus making the
identification difficult. By our invention these objections are overcome. Our
invention consists essentially in forming a border line around the back of the sheet
and at each corner of the border we form a square or rectangular figure forming
spaces in which we place a letter or figure or both denoting the size or granulation
of the emery or glass on the other side of the sheet. In some cases we may make
the spaces aforesaid, circular, oval, or any other geometrical figure into which we
place a letter or figure of identification.
Or we may make the border of any desired form or configuration and form a
series of spaces into which we affix the letter or figure. It will be obvious that
when a portion of the emery cloth or glass paper is torn off it will have upon it a
letter or figure of identification.

We, WILLIAM MIALL FULLER and FREDERICK GEORGE WILLIAMS trading
in co-partnership as Fuller and Williams of The Birmingham Emery Mills, Louisa

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 ordinary method of marking sheets of emery cloth or glass paper consists
of placing a large letter or figure on the back of the sheet consequently when the
sheet is torn or divided the letter or figure becomes obtruncated thus making
identification difficult. By our invention these difficulties are overcome. Our
invention consists essentially in forming a border line around the back of the sheet
at at each corner of the border we forra a square or rectangular figure forming
spaces in which we place a letter or figure or both, denoting the size or granulation
of the emery or glass on the other side of the sheet. In some cases we may nake
the spaces aforesaid circular, oval, or of any geometrical figure into which we
place a letter or figure of identification. Or we may make the border of any
desired form or configuration and form a series of spaces into which we affix the
letter or figure. It will be obvious that when a portion of the emery cloth or glass
paper is torn off it will have upon it a letter or figure of identification.
In order that our invention may be more clearly understood we will describe it
by reference to the accompanying drawings the same letters of reference indicating
similar parts throughout.
Fig. 1 represents the back of a sheet of einery cloth or glass paper. A is a
border line, in the squares B, a letter (or it may be a figure) is enclosed denoting
the size or granulation of the emery or glass on the other side of the sheet.
a portion of the emery cloth or glass paper is torn off at the dotted lines C, D, or
E, G, a square B with the figure or letter will be upon both of the portions thus
separated and will enable the granulation to be identified. Fig. 2 represents the
back of another sheet of emery cloth, or glass paper, showing a different shaped
border the squares enclosing the letters being in a different position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is
In the improved method of marking or denoting emery cloth, glass paper, and
the like substantially as herein described and illustrated and for the purpose set
forth.
