EDWARD HASKELL of 18 Baker Street, Portman Square, London W. in the
County of Middlesex, Lamp Maker &c. and GEORGE WILLIAMS of Pinner in the
County of Middlesex, Designer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
A method or process of constructing on a ground plan, Figures, ornaments, and
letters in Relief and Sunken, which possess a combination of Colours in contrast,
in accordance with the substances used-The constructure is made in separate pieces
or parts, using sheets of various kinds of Metals, Wood, Ivory, Bone, Glass, Cardboard,
Paper, China, Leather or any Material that can be employed in Sheets.
Our Invention consist of two or more pieces of perforated pieces of different coloured
metals, either copper, brass, zinc, iron, steel or any other permanent coloured substances,
rivetted to a plain piece of metal such as zinc, with a piece of perforated copper
placed on the top of the plain zine plate, which would show the portions of the zinc
plate through the perforations of the copper plate, then we place a brass plate with
larger perforations than the copper plate, carrying out the same or similar perforations
in the brass plate, and rivetting the three plates together to form one article, thereby
the whole of the different coloured metals are observable through the different
perforations which will permit to view.
We prefer to construct our invention in any shape, size, or of any permanent
coloured material.

page_text: We, EDWARD HASKELL of 18 Baker Street, Portman Square, London, W., in the
County of Middlesex, Lamp Maker, and GEORGE WILLIAMS of Pinner in the County
of Middlesex, Designer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to he particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:
According to the new method of decoration which forms the object of this invention
figures, ornaments and letters are obtained either in relief or sunken by the use of
sheets of metal or other material placed one above the other the upper plates being so
perforated or cut as to expose the sheets below. An infinite variety of patterns can
be obtained by using sheets of differently colored materials and by varying the shape
of the perforations or of the thickness of the plates. The edges of the sheets may
either be square, rounded or moulded.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 shows a door plate constructed according to our invention. Figure
shows the bottom sheet which is unperforated and is of brass a few lines of the pattern
being engraved upon it. Figure 3 shows the second sheet which is of steel and is
perforated and engraved. Figure 4 shows the top sheet which is of copper. The
three plates are rivetted or screwed together as shown in Figure 1. Screws have the
advantage of allowing the work to be taken to pieces for cleaning.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. Our new method of decoration for metals and other substances consisting in
building up sheets of metal or other material one above another the sheets being 50
perforated or cut as to expose the sheets below substantially as described.
2. Our new method of decoration for metals and other substances substantially as
described.
