I CLEMENT JOHN HEATON of Watford in the County of Hertford Artist do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In the specification of my patent dated 13th September 1886 No. 11629 I have
described a new manufacture of cloisonné-mosaic or work consisting of cloison wire
having its interstices filled in with a cement while the latter is in a plastic state. My
present invention consists in improvements on or relating to my said previous
invention.
I employ as a medium to fill in the interstices of the cloison wire a white or coloured,
opaque or translucent or more or less transparent vitreous substance or a semi-
vitreous or vitrified or earthy substance such as porcelain, baked earth, pottery ware
or the like. Such inert substance or substances coloured by heat in a furnace by any
of the metallic oxides in the same manner as glass is coloured I mix in a powdered
state with binding material. This latter may be of a resinous nature for instance
from resins from coniferæ or of a bituminous or similar nature, or sulphur or any
other suitable substance which by the application of heat shall become fluid and
when mixed with the powdered material will produce a cement plastic and suitable
for application while hot and hard and durable when set or cold. Or I mix the
powdered material with other cement or cementitious matter such as any form of
lime, cement, Portland cement, plaster of Paris, or any such suitable substance which
shall render the "cement so produced plastic and suitable for application and by
chemical action hard durable. Or I mix the powdered substance with substances
such as glue, silicate of soda, gelatine in a hydrous state, or in general with any
other mineral, vegetable or animal substance so as to render it plastic and which shall
by drying or parting with its water cause the cement produced to become hard and
durable. Or if the work is intended to be translucent I fuse the vitreous material by
heat and modify the form of the metal work by brazing or otherwise joining the
cloison wire together to form a continuous design so that I can omit the backing,

page_text: the cloison wire being made thicker or broader along both edges or in the inter-
mediate part and that either continuously or intermittently or in any other suitable
manner so as to form a key for the vitreous material.
The cement having been thus filled in I level the surface.
Small sections of the work are sometimes joined into larger pieces by means of
metal after the manner of stained glass, and the whole then mounted in a metal or
other frame for the sake of strength.

Work.
I, CLEMENT JOHN HEATON of Watford in the County of Hertford, Artist, 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:-
In the Specification of my Patent dated 13 September 1886 No. 11629 I have
described a new manufacture of cloisonné-mosaic or work consisting of cloison wire
having its interstices filled in with a cement while the latter is in a plastic state. My
present invention consists in improvements on or relating to my said previous
invention.
وو
I employ as a medium to fill in the interstices of the cloison wire a white or
coloured, opaque or translucent or more or less transparent vitreous substance or a
semi-vitreous or vitrified or earthy substance such as porcelain, baked earth, pottery
ware or the like. Such inert substance or substances coloured by heat in a furnace
by any of the metallic oxides in the same manner as glass is coloured I mix in a
powdered state with binding material. This latter may be of a resinous nature for
instance from resins from coniferæ or of a bituminous or similar nature, or sulphur
or any other suitable substance which by the application of heat shall become fluid
when mixed with the powdered material and will produce a cement plastic and
suitable for application while hot and hard and durable when set or cold. As an
example the binding material may amount to about 10 or 15 per cent. of the mixture.
Or I mix the powdered material with other cement or cementitious matter such as
any form of lime, cement, Portland cement, plaster of Paris, or any such suitable
substance which shall render the " cement so produced plastic and suitable for
application and by chemical action hard and durable. As an example the mixture
may be in the proportion of two parts by weight of the inert powder to one of plaster
of Paris. Or I mix the powdered substance with substances such as glue, silicate
of soda, gelatine in a hydrous state, or in general with any other mineral, vegetable
or animal substance so as to render it plastic and of the consistency of a stiff paste
and which shall by drying or parting with its water cause the cement produced to
become hard and durable. The cement having been thus filled in I level the surface.
Or if the work is intended to be translucent I fuse the vitreous material by heat and
modify the form of the metal work by brazing or otherwise joining the cloison wire
together to form a continuous design so that I can omit the backing, the cloison
wire being made thicker or broader along both edges or in the intermediate part and
that either continuously or intermittently or in any other suitable manner so as to
form a key for the vitreous material. The latter is by preference applied in powder
form and then fused.

page_text: Small sections of the work are sometimes joined into larger pieces by means of
metal after the manner of stained glass, and the whole then mounted in a metal or
other frame for the sake of strength..
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
First. A cement for ornamental cloisonné-mosaic work consisting of powdered
vitreous vitrified or earthy material mixed with resinous or other suitable matter the
mixture being plastic when subjected to heat substantially as described.
Second. A cement for ornamental cloisonné-mosaic work consisting of powdered
vitreous, vitrified or earthy material mixed with plaster of Paris Portland cement or
other cementitious matter which mixture by chemical action shall set into a hard
composition substantially as described.
Third. A cement for ornamental cloisonné-mosaic work consisting of powdered
vitreous vitrified or earthy material mixed with glue silicate of soda or gelatine or other
suitable vegetable mineral or animal matter which mixture by parting with its water
shall set into a hard composition substantially as described.
Fourth. The improved manufacture of translucent cloisonné work consisting in
brazing or otherwise securely joining cloison wire in the required design and framing,
filling the interstices with suitable powdered vitreous material and fusing by heat sub-
stantially as described.
