Improvements in and relating to the Printing of Colours on Linoleum,
Oil-cloths, Floor-cloths, and the like.
I, CHARLES MONTGOMERY, of 5, Munro Street, Kirkcaldy, Fifeshice, Designer,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:
This invention has reference to the printing of colors on linoleum, oil-cloths,
floorcloths, and the like, and consists in using single pins with heads, and group-
ing these together and securing them on the wooden printing blocks. The heads
on these pins may be formed in various shapes and be grouped together to give
solid colors and mottled, stipple or granite effects. The formation of the heads
on the pins picks up the color well, while a great amount of draught takes place
through these grouped together.

Improvements in and relating to the Printing of Colours on Linoleum,
Oil-cloths, Floor-cloths, and the like.
I, CHARLES MONTGOMERY, of 5, Munro Street, Kirkcaldy, Fifeshire, Designer,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement, in writing, reference being made to the accompanying
drawings:-
This invention has reference to the printing of colours on linoleum, oilcloths,
floor-cloths, and the like, and consists in using single pins with heads, and
grouping these together and securing them together on the wooden printing
blocks. The heads on these pins may be formed in various shapes and be grouped
together to give solid colours, and mottled, granite or marble effects. The forma-
tion of the heads on the pins picks up the colour well, while a great amount of
draught takes place through these grouped together and prevents block choking.
And in order that this invention may be properly understood there is hereunto
appended an explanatory sheet of drawings in which Figure 1 represents a plan
view of a block showing arrangement of pins to produce a variegated effect in
solid colours, and also a mottled or granite effect, in accordance with my improve-
ments the leaves or figure pattern effects being clear or in white and Figure 2 is
an end view corresponding to Figure 1 showing the wooden block with the pins
secured in same. Figures 3 and 4 are views corresponding to Figures 1 and 2

page_text: of an illustration of block in which the leaves or figure patterns are shown as
producing solid colours.
The wooden blocks are arranged in a series of super-imposed layers stuck
together, and the metal pins a are driven into the block about a quarter of an
inch, leaving a space of about three sixteenths of an inch from face of block
to printing surface of pins. The heads of the pins a are formed of various
shapes to give the printing effects desired, and the spaces between the thin shanks
of the grouped pins permits of a clear draught effect and prevents block choking.
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:-
First. The printing of colours on linoleum, oilcloths, floor-cloths, and the like,
from pin heads of variegated shape secured on wooden blocks substantially as
set forth.
Second. In printing colours on substances as described in Claim 1, the arrange-
ment of pins with broadened heads of any shape, and grouping these together
and securing them on wooden printing blocks to give variegated effects, sub-
stantially as set forth.
Third. Linoleum, oilcloths, floor-cloths, and the like, printed with colours as
described in Claim 1. to give the effects, substantially as set forth.
