GRAINING-TOOL.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 9, 1915.
Application filed August 30. 1913. Serial. No. 787,549.
adapted to manipulate graining material to give it a close imitation of natural graining.
The invention is hereinafter more fully explained and its essential characteristics set out in the claims.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the graining tool constituting this invention; Figs. 2 and 3 are views of the opposite ends of the tool.
The body of the tool is a flat strip 1 whichv may be of wood. One end thereof 2 is comparatively narrow, while the other end 3 is considerably wider. One edge of the tool is preferably straight while the other edge is curved, as shown at 4, to reduce the width from that of the wide end to that of the narrow end. i
On the two ends of'the tool are rubber pads designated 6 and 7. On these pads are parallel inclined ribs 8 and 9, best shown in Figs. 2 and 3. These ribs are V-shaped in cross section and are separated by corresponding V-shaped grooves.
In using the tool it is stood upright on the surface at right angles to theJlength of the strip to be grained, and is drawn along the strip in this position. The surface having first been covered with a liquid graining compound, this liquid is caused to flow more or less irregularly through the grooves between the ribs, and is left in streaks or broad lines having the appearance of a wood grain. By making the ribs diagonal, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3- and drawing the tool straight but broadside along the strip-to be grained, I produce the desired effect closely imitative of the grain of natural oak.
I am aware that rubber graining combs have been used before, but those with which I am familiar have the ribs straight across the body of the tool, wherefore, too well defined a streak is given to the surface produced if the tool is held in the natural wayat right angles to the strip. If, to avoid this With these old tools, one turns the tool at an angle, he neverknows just how "far he turns it, and the angle becomes constantly changed, changing the character of his grain instead of producing a continuous grain similar to the natural Wood. The tool I have invented reduces the skill required in the manipulation, since, if the tool be held in the easiest way, namely; at right angles to the strip, the diagonal position of the ribs automatically produces the desired grain mg.
By making one end of the tool wide and the other narrow and putting pads on each' end I increase the serviceability of the tool, enabling it to be used on deep, inaccessible, 0r nan-ow strips; while, for plain, flat work the wide end of the tool may be used and time be saved.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is: i
1. A graining tool comprising a body, and a pad having parallel ribs bodily located at an oblique angle to the side of the tool.
2. A graining tool consisting of a strip having a pad on its end, the pad having parallel ribs the engaging faces of which are at an oblique angle to the planes of the sides of thestrip.
3. A graining tool consisting of a flat strip having an elastic pad on its end, which pad is provided with V-shaped ribs parallel with each other and located at an oblique angle to the plane of the side of the tool.
4. In a graining tool, the combination of a body, an elastic pad carried thereby and extending from one edge of the body to the other, such pad having parallel ribs which are located at an oblique angle to the plane of the body.
5. A grainiug toolconsisting of a strip having a padon its end, the pad having a series of parallel ribs lying substantially in the plane at right angles to the sides of the strip and extending from one side to the other at an oblique angle with the planes of the sides of the strip.
6. A graining tool comprising strip hava ing on iis end :1 pad with parallel ribs, the Working edges of which are oblique to the plane of the side of the strip.
7. A graining tool comprising a strip with parallel sides and transverse parallel ribs *0 said ribs being V-shaped in eress section and awn e2 having their WOKJHI] plane, such faces he'ln u'i oblique to the sides of the vi In testimony whereof. .L nei'euiitn MEX my signature in the presence of two Witnesses. lo
