MENTS IN THE DECORATION OF TINNED PLATES AND IN THEIR SUBSIQUENT MANUFACTURE INTO TRAYS WAITERS & SIMILAR ARTICLES
Year: 1885

page_text: I SAMUEL GROVES of Broad Street Birmingham in the County of Warwick
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE DECORATION OF TINNED PLATES AND IN THEIR SUBSIQUENT
MANUFACTURE INTO TRAYS WAITERS & SIMILAR ARTICLES to be as follows:-
This invention refers to improvements upon a former invention for which a
certificate of provisional protection N° 2580 1884, has already been granted to me
for improvements in the ornamentation of plates of tinned iron or sheets of
aliminium and what was not successful for the following reasons. Plates of tinned
iron after being subjected to my process of ornamentation become so hard that the
subsequent process as usually followed of stamping them into the form of trays
waiters or any other flat forms for which they were chiefly designed caused them
to buckle and become practically valueless and also that as regarded sheets of
aliminium no sheets of sufficient size for my purposes could be produced. By these
present improvements which I confine to tinned plates, I produce an imitation of
engraved or embosed designes upon the surface of the plate by means of an
engraved steel plate laid upon the tinned plate and acting as a die and subjecting
both to the pressure of a pair of rolls, by this operation the design of the die is
transfered to the tinned plate which plate can afterwards be made up into any
desired articles by any of the ordinary means, except when it is required to pro-
duce trays or waiters or other similar flat forms having moulded rims by means
of stamps & in such cases the following process must be persued in order avoid
buckling. Take for instance the manufacture of an ordinary tray the previously
decorated tinned plate, is placed under a stamp and the edge raised all round to
what is termed a flue sided figure or inclined flange, the tinned plate is then turned
over and stamped again from the other surface and the flange is formed into a
moulded rim and the centre or platform of the tray loses none of its rigidity as is
the case when stamped only from one side.

I SAMUEL GROVES of Birmingham in the County of Warwick Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
DECORATION OF TINNED PLATES AND IN THEIR SUBSEQUENT MANUFACTURE INTO
TRAYS WAITERS AND SIMILAR ARTICLES and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention refers to Improvements upon a former invention for which a
certificate of provisional protection No 2580, 1884, was granted to me for improve-
ments in ornamentation of plates of tinned iron or sheets of aluminium and which
was not successful for the following reasons. Plates of tinned iron after being
subjected to my process of ornamentation became so hard that the subsequent
process as usually followered of stamping them into the form of trays waiters and
other flat forms for which they were chiefly designed caused them to buckle and
become practically valueless, and also that as regarded sheets of aluminium no
sheets of sufficient size for my purpose could be produced. By these present
improvements which I confine to tinned plates I produce an imitation of engraved
or embossed design upon the surface of the plate by means of an engraved steel
plate laid upon the tinned plate and acting as a die and subjecting both to the
pressure of a pair of rolls, by this operation the design of the die is transferred to
the tinned plate, which plate can afterwards be made up into any desired articles
by any of the ordinary means except when it is required to produce trays waiters
or other similar flat forms having moulded rims by means of stamps and in such
cases the following process must be persued in order to avoid buckling. Take for
instance the manufacture of an ordinary tray-The previously decorated tinned
plate is placed under a stamp and the edge raised all round to what is termed a
Hue sided figure or inclined flange the tinned plate is then turned over and stamped
again from the other surface and the flange is formed into a moulded rim and the
centre or platform of the tray loses none of its rigidity as is the case when stamped
only from one side.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. The process substantially as above specified for the decoration of tinned
plates, whereby the tinned plates are not rendered unsuitable for being sub-
sequently converted into trays waiters and similar articles.
2. The process substantially as above specified for converting tinned plates
ornamented as above described into trays waiters and similar articles.
