To all whom it may concern Be itknown that we, ALFRED W. HANING- '10s, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the cit of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in tie county of Kings and State of New York, ALFRED Rosrms'rum, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, and Roaun'r A. SOUTHWARD, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn in the county of Kings and State of ew York, have invented 'a new and Improved Composition for Im ression-Sheets,o which the following is. a ull, clear, and exact descri tion.

T is invention relates to a new and improved impression sheet, with-the composi-' tion thereof.

While impression sheets have been made, from which a single design, pattern or the like could be reproduced on cloth or paper, it has been difficult, if not impossible, to produce more than one design from a single sheet, especially on such articles as wood, china and the like.

An object, therefore, of this invention is to produce a new and improved impression sheet by means of a new composition and method, which, when applied in a certain manner, which also is believed to be new, can be reproduced a number of times. This and further objects, together with the construction and combination of 1 parts, will be more fully described hereina ticularly set forth in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, and in which- Fi ure 1 represents a perspective view showing the first step in forming an impression sheet; Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a step in reproducin the design on the impression sheet; and ig. 3 is a perspective View showing the final step in reproducin the design on the impression sheet.

- In t is invention, a perforated attern of paper or any other suitable material having any desired design, is laid on a flat surface, and if desired, with weights at one portion thereof, to hold the design in position with er and par- -found after covering the whole design,

a sheet of suitable material, such as tissue paper, located subjacent the perforated patern.

In the drawings, 1 indicates the perforated pattern, and 2 indicates the sheet beneath the pattern, which may be termed the impression sheet. which has been found to reproduce the greatest number of times is then placed on top of the perforated pattern and forced through the perforations in any suitable manner, as by means of a squeegee, so that the material of the composition is caused to adhere to the impression sheet in the form of a reproduction of the design of the perforated pattern, forming an impression or transfer sheet. While the composition used may be of any suitable character, we prefer to use the following, which has been found very etiicienti- 1 pint.

Turpentine 1 pound.

Pulverized rosin Petroleum jelly, refined, slowly melted 1% pts. And a suitable pigment, such as Masurys Prussian blue or drop black in oil pint.

\Vhile these ingredients ma be mixed in any suitable manner, we pro er to dissolve one pound of pulverized rosin, cold, in the pint of turpentine, and to the above mixture add 1% pints of electrified petroleum jelly, and then add 1} pintof any suitable prepared color ground in oil, to color the preparation, such as the Prussian blue or drop black mentioned. The impression or The special composition.

transfer sheet thus formed is capable of being reproduced on any suitable article or surface a number of times.

The method of reproducing the design is as follows: The sheet is faced downwardly on top of the surface on which it is desired to reproduce the design, and friction applied by any suitable means, such as a blunt instrument, indicated at 4, or the back of the finger nail, so as to produce an appreciable friction, with some pressure.

that it is neatl and clearly reproduced on the surface be ow. It has been found by using this particular composition that the design from a single sheet can be reproduced six to eight times bythis friction method. When It will be a transfer copy can no longer be obtained by the friction method, this new and improved composition will afford a complete and clear reproduction by the hot-iron method, which consists in passing a hot iron over the back of the impression sheet after it has been placed face-downward on the surface whereon it is desired to transfer the design. This operation is shown in Fig. 3. It will thus be seen that by use of the composition and the method of applying the same, a new and et'liciellt impression sheet can be formed,- whieh, by combined friction and hotiron method,can reproduce a comparatively large number of impressions of the design.

\Vhile \\'e have shown one embodiment of our invention, we do not wish to be limited to the specific details thereof, hut desire to be protected in various changes, alterations and modifications which may come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent z- 1. The herein-described composition of matter for use as a multiple transferring ink ofturpentine,

I i j to the dissolved rosin, and the on impression sheets, comprising a mixture one pint; pulverized rosin, one pound; petroleum pints, and a pigment in oil, one-half pint.

The herein described composition of matter for use as a multiple transfer ink on impression sheets, comprising a mixture of turpentine, pulverized rosin, petroleum jelly, and an oil ground pigment.

3. The process of forming a multiple transfer impression ink, comprising the dissolving of cold pulverized rosin in turpentinethe adding'of refined petroleum jelly adding of a pigment ground in oil, in the order enumcr ated.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the. presence of hvosuhscrihing witnesses.
