angle by a drop of water falling from the dropping device 7 (the drops if preferred being projected with some force) which is placed above the slanting portion of an endless wire cloth passing over four quadrangularly-arranged rollers 3, '-ll, 5, 6, the drops striking the paper-web between rolls -l and 5. Thereby oval groups of fibers are produced, with dmvnwardlythickened edges. If the water-drops are caused to fall, however, from a dropping device T located between the rolls 3 and r, onto the upper, horizontal part of the wire-cloth and upon a very thin layer of fibers, the patterns produced by these drops show, after coaching, a circle inclosing a point which becomes thicker toward the center.

If the water-drops are allowed to fall on the lower horizontal part of the wire-cloth, between the rolls 5 and t3 and through the "wire, for instance from a dropping device 7, the drops detach and carry fiber-romplexes down with them, whereupon the fibers still adhering to the wire-cloth and passing between the rolls (3 and 11 may either be couched upon the specially-preparedv continuous paper-web on the endless wire 8, and the-drops loaded with the detached fibers collected and removed, or the drops loaded with paper-fibers may be allowed to fall upon the paper-web on the endless wire 8, as indicated at 8. Furthei-more, the paper-fibers or fiber-complexes carried along with the drops, as well as the fibengroups still adhering to the wire 2. 1'nay be put on the continuous papei wcb. The attachment of the fiber-complexes carried along with the drops to the paper-web can be etl'ected either by allowing the drops to fall directly upon the paper-web, as by T, 7, or by "Howing them to first fall upon wire-cloth and then couching upon the papenweb the groups of fibers thus formed; or by depositing groups of fibers upon a supplementary distributor, such as a wire-cloth cylinder 2t), as shownin Fig. 2, and then causing the paper-web 21 to run upon the groups of fibers formed upon this intermediate wire cloth.

In order to etl'ect the desired breaking up of the layer of fibers, or the throwing oil of fiber particles, there may be employed, instead of water-drops, water sprayed under high pressure, or compressed air. delivered for instance by jet-pipes 1:2 and 1 The action of the jet-pipes may be periodical, and they may moreover be arranged so as to move laterally, as shown in Fig. 5 When. employing water, which drains through the layer of fibers to be broken up, or which drops through it, for instance from the de vice 7, Fig. 1, there may be provided a rebound piece'il, on that side oi the wire-cloth which is free from papermlp. 10, 10 indicated at certain points in Figs.

The gutters layer of fibers to be broken up. Water or very thin papenpulp of a. different color may also be thrown against the layer of fibers on the oblique part of the wire-cloth 23', as in.- Fig. 3. by means of some system of ladies 24, whereby peculiarly displaced patterns are obtained.

if water is thrown from the back of the wire-cloth 25 aggjainstv the layer of fibers to be broken 1),415 by a jet 26, Fig. 4, and the water is drawn away by a. suction apparatus or gutter 27, the breaks in thepaperweb have an indented edge. It colors are sprayed at an acute angle, for instance by means of spraying nozzles 14, Fig. 1, onto the fibers or groups of fibers which have been partly displaced from the surface of the wire-cloth, or lifted up in consequence of the breaking, up of the layer of fibers by pressure applied from the lower or inferior part of the wire, for instance bymeans of air or a liquid pressed from jet-pipes 13, then the groups of fibers are colored on one side. The groups of fibers thus treated have, after being couched upon the other paperweb, a reliefdike appearance on the paper.

The water which has penetrated from the back. as from 28, Fig. 5, and the fibers carried along with it, can be collected or thrown back on the wire-cloth by means of co1npressed 'air as from the jet 2.). In the latter case a more blurred pattern is obtained. If

two such'layers of fibers of (.lir'l'erent colorare couched upon the paper-web. one over the other, the marbling becomes tricolored.

By periodically spraying on. the paperweb diluted paper-pulp of difi'erent color. as by means of high pressurewater-pipesi 30. 31, Fig. (3. at difierent angles and from different sides, from. nozzles which may be movable, for example as shown in Fig. 8. if preferred'nsing rebound plate S1 close behind the Wire, as shown in Fig. 6, peculiar cloudy pictures are obtained. Pcculiar breakings of the layer of fibers may also be obtained as .in Fig. 7, by means of differently arranged and differently moving 'et-pipes 32, 33 f-r orn which air or Wateris pressed-i JVhen water is pressed from jet-pipes 34:,

Fig. 8,v which, while oscillating like a pendulum over the slanting part of the viiire, periodically act upon the layer of fibers at an acute-angle, the so-called tiger-spotted pattern is obtained. A rotating roller providedalong its length witlistrips of felt, 36, Fig. 9, and acting upon the layer of fibers produces the same ell'evt.

Other means for breaking up and displacing the layer of fibers are, as shown in Fig. 10, stifi' tissues, cloths, or ropes 37,'and rollers coated. with felt 38, whalebone reeds arranged in the form ot'rrollers or rods, or similar devices with a rotary or sliding action, such as described in U. S. Patent from a jet-pipe l8 placed at the lower side Clearly-defined patterns can be obtained by means of a stencil 39 made for instance ol india-rubber cloth, Fig. 11, running along with the Wire-cloth and lying close to'it. The pressure device ll), Fig.1 or 43 of Fig. :12, is caused to act through this stencil upon the layer of fibers to be broken.

up. This stencil may also be arranged so as to run more quickly or more slowly than the wire-cloth, or to more laterally thereto. l'Vhen using a stencil 41, a suction-roller 42 may be employed as shown. in Fig. 12, its stead of the pressure-device of Fig. 11,

for breaking up the layer of fibers in a de tel-mined pattern. In. using a press-roller, this roller may replace one of the guiderollers lor 5, of Fig. 1.

A layer of fibers couched from the Wirecloth lel, upon a felt 45, as in Fig. 13, may be treated insuch a manner that the felt 45 with the layer of fibers runs over a suction roller 46 provided with slits, which sucks up the fibers in strips, through the felt. If a spray of water driven by high pressure from jet 4'!" is now caused to act at an acute angle upon the layer of fibers, the fibers which have not been sucked up are massed together. The pattern thus obtained shows, after being couched upon the paper-Web,

edges thickened on one side.

Some working methods may also be carried out upon. an entirely impermeable substratum as in Fig. M. For instance a layer of fibers running on canvas 4&8 can' be treated with the aforementioned stencil a9 and a water-spray o0. The fiber is thereby partially floated, and must first be taken up by a felt 51 running through a press and then transferred onto the paper-Web 52.

Multicolored 'marblings may, as shown in Fig. 15, he produced by couching one over the other several difierent layers of'fibers previously treated upon a number of wirecloths 53, 54, The thus-prepared much broken-up layer of fibers is then transferred to-the base paper-web 56, For this method, cylindrical wire-cloths are also suitable, and it is not necessary that the wire-cloths be deeply covered.

The drawing in Fig. 1 also illustrates means for practising the new process when using endless wire-cloths,or when it is 111- tended to make papers with patterns on both sides, this case the papenpulp for the layer of' fibers to be broken up runs from a supply pipe 15 onto the endless wire-l,

of the wire and penetrating through the wire. Upon the layer of fibers broken up as above-mentioned or by any other means,

if preferred by simultaneously using stencils'or suctionor pressure-rollers, the paper-pulp for the real paper-web is run. Inorder to obtain papers colored on both sides, a. second broken-up layer of fibers, produced for instance by the frame-Wire arrangement, can be applied to the upper side of the paper-web in the above-described manner, by couching or throwingit on the latter.
