To all whom it may concern: p

Be it known that I, FREDERICKKAYE, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Ashton-upon-Mersey, in 5 the county of Chester, England, have invented a new and useful Apparatus for the Production of Designs in Paper, Millboard,

Vegetable Leather Substitute, and Linoleum Substitute (for which application has been filed in Great Britain, No. 25,100, September 22, 1921), of which the following is a specification.

This invention refersto and consists of new or improved apparatus for carryingout a process of producing inlaid pattern effects in handmade paper, millboard, vegetable leather substitute and linoleum substitute,

7 the said process consisting in super-posing layers of coloured pulp or' pulp material 29 upon a foundation layer of pulp (which may be white or' coloured), the several layers being amalgamated, while moist, by pressure and drying, into a single article.

The improved apparatus is illustrated on the accompanying drawings, wherein:

deckle, which is the complement of the deckle shown in; Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 illustrates a plan of the final product, i. e., a sheet of paper with aninlaid two-colour pattern.

a is the usual wood frame ofa paper mould as used for making paper by hand.

On its top side said frame is covered with a layer of wire gauze b, the transverse bars 0 of the frame helping to support the gauze.

(Z is the usual wood deckle adapted to rest upon the frame a and surround the. space immediately above the gauze, thereby producing a shallow tray-like'mould. .On floating the mould in thepulp'vat, a laver of pulp fills the mould and such layer after shaking the mould in the usual way, is left on the wire gauze in the form of a sheet of wet paper, which is subsequently removed and drained or semi-dried on a felt. This'semi- Fig. 5 illustrates a plan view of a further dried'paperforms the foundationfor the I intended inlaid paper. I r After producing suchffirstlayer, the

deckle, d. is removedfrom the frame, and I the deckle d shownin Figs. 3 and f is sub- T stituted. The deckle comprises a sheet; of

wood or other suitablematerialin which is out the intended. design,'or part-of such de sign; The mould is then again floated in av pulp vat, butcontaining a different coloured pulp to that forming the foundation layer aforesaid, whereupon alayer of said coloured pulp fills the space surrounded by the sheet ofwood, which after the usual shaking of the mould and removing of the deckle, remains on the gauze in the form of a layer of coloured paper'corresponding in' outline to the design in thedeckle. This layer of wet coloured paper, after draining I on the felt, is placed uponthe said founda-' tion sheet of semi-dried paper and under pressure amalgamated therewith.

The further deckle shown in Fig. 5 is. then substituted for the deckle d 'shown in Fig. 4, which also comprises a'sheet of wood or other suitable materialin which adesign p is cuteXactly-agreeing in outline with and Fig. 2 a plan view of a mould and deckle V as used in the making of hand-made paper.

foundation layer, in exact register with the second named layer, the several layers when set, forming onev example of inlaid paper.

Further deckles are used and further layers of pulp of different colour are produced,

when the design calls for morethan a twocolour design.

Instead of the opening or openings in one L deckle being cut to form thecomplemental outline ofthe opening. orwopenings "in the preceding deckle, the openings in the several deckles may be merely out to different sizes or forms, and the differences in the sizes or forms-of the coloured layers,whenj laid one upon" another, and upon; the foundation layer, produce thedesiredpattern. j
