- LINOLEUM FLOOR-COVERING.
1,129,57L Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Feb. 23, 1915 Application filed April 11, ms. Serial No. 780,476.
provement in Linoleum Floor-Covering, of-
which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a plan view showing a portion of myimproved linoleum of the mlay type. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, showing the plain or printed type, and
My invention relates to the'class of leum floor coverings in which a llnoleum mixture is applied upon and secured to a backing or foundation material. This lino. leum mixture may be of the usual type,
containing either pulverized corkor wood- 1 flour in combination with a drying oil, such as linseed oil; pigments, gum or rosin also beingused in the mixture, if desired. These mixtures oxidize on exposure to the air.
Heretofore both in. the case of plain or printed and inlay linoleum, the'backing or foundation has been made ofaftextile fabric, such as burlap or other fabric made from jute or other woventextile material. This woven textile material is ofrelatively high cost and 'increasesthe cost of the finished linoleum. I
I have discovered that by using the waterproof paper as the backing or foundation material, instead of burlap or a woven textile material, I can greatly decrease the cost of linoleum and also reduce theatendy 'ency to .buckling or waving of; the product;
while giving a satisfactory strong material.
In carrying out my invention for plain or printed hnoleum, 'I preferably take a heavy impregnated water-proof paper in rollsand pass it through the linoleum ma V chine, thereby hot rolling upon this paper thoroughly :1 linoleum mixture such as this above described. This linoleum mixture firmly ad-' heres tov the paper which'gives a. satisfactory, cheap backing or foundation therefor. In carry: g out this process with the paper backing or foundation, I preferably do away with the tension which has hereto fore been put on the burlap or textile material to keep the same from buckling in the rolls. This tension which is given the burla material now used, tends to cause buckling or waving of the linoleum and I avoid this tendency by hot rolling the linoleurn material on the paper backing or foundation on the paper. In the case of the inlaid linoleum, I follow the usual process of rolling or pressing the inlay blocks or granulatedjcomposition on the paper backing or foundation, using any well known type of inlay machine for-this purpose. Y
In the drawings, referring to F igs; 1 and 2, represents the paper backing or foundation, and 3 the inlaidlinoleum. In Figs. 3 and 4, 4 represents the paper backing or foundation, and 5 the sheet linoleum applied thereto, which may be either plain or printed.
I am aware that floor coverings have been formed, the body of which consists ofv aper provided with a decorated or printe surface, the pattern being printed in oil or other colors; but to my knowledge a paper backing or foundation has "never been used for linoleum floor covering.
The advantages of my invention result to buckling, and providing a eheap,strong,
eflicient floor covering. The paper which I preferably layer this, paper may be of any type,
' made 'fiom any kind of mattedfibem, as
distinguished from a woven fabric. Many variations maybe madein the paper backing or foundation employed, as
has a rough surface to 1 unite with the linoleum well as in the details of the linoleum com-' position, so long as this composition is of the true linoleum type.
I claim:
5 l. A linoleum floor covering, composed of a waterr'oof paper backing or foundation provide with a wearin surface of linoleum mixture, substantial y as described.
2. A linoleum floor covering composed of 10 a paper backing or foundation having a linoleum layer thereon, being at least as thick as tially as described.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
