I JULES DOPTER, of 21 Avenue du Maine, Paris, France, Engraver on Glass, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
My invention consists essentially in the production of imitation mosaics of any
kind by the insertion of studs or buttons of different colours in the meshes or openings
of a canvas or other fabric in such a manner as to form imitations of windows or
decorated surfaces.
In order to make myself well understood I have represented my invention in the
drawing annexed to this specification by way of example.
In this drawing, Figure 1 shows on an enlarged scale the arrangement of a stud or
button which I preferably employ.
Figure 2 shows, likewise to an enlarged scale, the fabric or canvas into the meshes
of which I introduce the pearls or buttons.
Figure 3 shows a mosaic obtained according to my invention.
The canvas a can be made plain and perforated after finishing. Use can however
be made of the ordinary canvas for wool-work or of wire gauze, or any other elastic or
rigid foundation adapted to retain the studs. The latter can in some cases be placed,
if necessary, between the threads during the weaving.
The studs, by preference in the form of buttons having knobs, are retained upon
the perforated surface by the flat plate c. They can be of glass or any other suitable
material either transparent or opaque so as to obtain the designs shades or colours
necessary. Moreover the heads can be spherical, flat, square or of any other form
and have facets to obtain brilliant effects.

page_text: I have stated that I fix the studs by preference by knobs which can be of any form,
even round, but they can be fixed by any other means for example by hooking.
Whatever may be the means of fixing adapted the spaces between the studs can be
filled, if necessary with a suitable material, either for the harmony of the design or
with a view to obtaining different effects, or in order to maintain the studs upon the
fabric.
It is to be understood that my invention can be applied to replace mosaics in any
of their applications, for my system applies quite as well to decoration as to windows
or the like.

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 :-
My invention consists essentially in the production of imitation mosaics of any
kind by the insertion of studs or buttons of different colours in the meshes or
openings of a canvass or other fabric in such a manner as to form imitations of
windows or any decorative surfaces.
In order to make myself well understood I have represented my invention in the
drawing left with the provisional specification, by way of example.
In this drawing, Figure shows on an enlarged scale the arrangement of a stud or
button which I preferably employ.
Figure 2 shows likewise to an enlarged scale the fabric or canvass into the meshes
of which I introduce the pearls or buttons.
Figure 3 shows a mosaic obtained according to my invention.
The canvass a can be made plain and perforated after finishing; Use can however
be made of the ordinary canvas for wool-work, or of wire gauze, or any other elastic
or rigid foundation adapted to retain the studs b.
The latter can in some cases be placed, if necessary, between the threads during the
weaving.
The studs, by preference in the form of buttons having knobs, are retained.upon
the perforated surface by the flat plate c. They can be of glass or any other suitable
material either transparent or opaque, so as to obtain the designs shades or colours
necessary. Moreover the heads can be spherical, flat, square or of any other form
and have facets to obtain brilliant effects.
I have stated that I fix the studs by preference by knobs which can be of any form,
even round, but they can be fixed by any other means, for example by hooking.
Whatever may be the means of fixing adopted the spaces between the studs can be
filled if necessary with a suitable material, either for the harmony of the design or
with a view to obtaining different effects, or in order to maintain the studs upon the
fabric.
It is to be understood that my invention can be applied to replace mosaics in any
of their applications, for my system applies quite as well to decoration as to obtaining
imitation windows or the like.

page_text: 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
The improved mosaic and its various applications, comprising a surface provided
with openings or perforated, elastic or rigid, in the openings meshes or holes of which
are placed transparent or opaque and coloured or uncoloured pearls maintained by
any appropriate means as and for the purpose above specified.
