page_text: I JOHN LINE Junior of 30 Broad Street Reading in the County of Berkshire
Wholesale and Export paper hanging merchant and paper hangings pattern books
manufacturer and Maker to the Trade do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:--
To legibly impress and print on the face edges of the decorative paper hangings,
Pattern books, as they are under the guillotine, when being made and trimmed a
detailed description of the various kinds, quantities and nature of the separate and
several make papers and prices contained in said Pattern Books, so that the party
requiring certain distinctive paper hangings may be guided immediately to the
article they are seeking, to wit, Golds, Metals Frillings, Friezes, Dados, Embossed,
Sanitary, Grounded Stair-case Satins, Oaks, Marbles, Tiles, Ceilings, White and tinted
linings, Stylings, Passages, etc., etc., that is to say, we make the contents of the book
clear at a glance as well as to whom the pattern book belongs so that a great deal of
time is saved in the manipulation thereof and in preventing confusion in taking one
book for another.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice I have appended hereunto a large sized sheet of drawings showing an
example of a pattern book as prepared for, say, C. M. Strange and Sons, Decorators,
Tunbridge Wells. There is one view only shewn as this is quite sufficient to fully
illustrate an example of the matter I put on; which may however be varied to any
extent both in regard to the description of contents and the name of the owner thereof
the matter and name hereon shown being used simply as illustrative.
Now referring to the drawing: supposing the book to be opened at or near the
dotted line A it is known by the printed matter on the front edge S that Gold-
from 1/6 to 4/6 samples of papers will be exposed and if the book is opened at B that
Sanitary samples of papers will be exposed, and so on at C or D or any greater or
less number of lines or divisions. The person to whom the book belongs is shown
upon the face E so that the whole is clear legible and straight forward and no mistake
can be made or time lost.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and, in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
-
The new and improved indexed Pattern books substantially as and for the purpose
herein set forth and as shown upon the drawing.
