I, JOSEPH FRANCIS EBNER of Clerkenwell Road in the County of Middlesex,
Parquet Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE COMPOSITION OR ADHESIVE ANTI-DRY ROT WATERPROOF MATERIAL
USED AND METHOD OF SECURING PARQUET FLOORING TO STONE CONCRETE WOOD
METAL OR OTHER SURFACES APPLICABLE TO OTHER LIKE PURPOSES," to be as
follows:-
...
i
The composition I employ in carrying out my invention consists of animal glue
boiled in linseed oil with resinous material india rubber and colouring matter.
My improved method of laying the pieces of wood consists in forming the under-
side of the pieces with recesses in such manner that when the adhesive composition
is applied in a hot state it enters into such recesses and when set hard acts to bind
the blocks to the bed or floor which in the case of a cement or other floor can be.
provided also with undercut channels or recesses into which the adhesive material
enters and thus secures the parts together in one compact surface which will be
waterproof and resist the action of dry-rot.

I JOSEPH FRANCIS EBNER of Clerkenwell Road in the County of Middlesex
Parquet Manufacturer 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 :-
The composition I find it advantageous to employ in carrying my invention into
practice consists of animal glue boiled in linseed oil with resinous material india
rubber and coloring matter in the following proportions or thereabouts viz.—
112 parts glue.
56
rosin.
n
10
"
boiled linseed oil or other heavy oila
35
water.
"
India rubber and coloring matter in suitable proportions as may be required.
My improved method of laying the pieces of wood or parquet flooring consists
in forming the underside of the pieces in such manner that when an adhesive
composition is applied in a hot soft or semi-fluid state it enters into such recesses
and when set hard acts to bind the blocks to the bed or floor which in the case of
a cement or other floor can be provided also with under cut channels or recesses or
oblique holes into which the adhesive material enters and thus secures the parts
together in one compact surface which will be waterproof and resist the action of
dry hot.
In place of using an adhesive compound such as that previously described any
other suitable composition which will set and harden may be employed in carrying
out my invention.
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 improved composition or adhesive anti dry rot waterproof material
or compound for securing parquet flooring to stone concrete wood metal or other
surfaces substantially as described.

page_text: 2. The improved method of securing parquet flooring to stone concrete wood
metal or other surfaces by providing (in any convenient manner) the two surfaces
which are to be secured together with undercut channels, undercut recesses or
oblique holes into which the adhesive waterproof material or composition enters
and when set acts to secure the parts firmly together and thereby rosist the action
of dry rot substantially as described.
