METHOD OF DECORATING METAL PLATES.

Application filed August 24, 1925. Serial No. 51,988.

Toall tqhom; it may concern: Be it known that I, Fnnnnmon H. new, -a citizen of the United States, residing at Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements-in .Methods of Decorating Metal Plates, of which the 'following is a specification. a

The present invention is directed to a method of decorating metal plates.

'. The primary. object of the invention is to provide a method wherein metal plates can be decorated with wood veneer of differentcolors and when so decorated be- 1 extremely attractive and maybe used for various purposes.

A further object of the invention is to provide a method wherein wood veneer varying in color can be easily and quickly form a permanent part thereof. 7 r

In the drawing Figure 1 is a plan Figure 2 is a sectional view showing the sheet previous to applying pressure thereto.

Figure 3 is a similar vlew after pressure has been applied. Figure 4 1s a similar view parts of the sheet removed. a

Figure 5 is a similar view showin the position ofthe second sheet before app ying pressure thereto.

Figure 6 is a similar view after pressure has been applied to the second sheet.

Figure 7 isasectional view on line-7 of Figure 1.

In carrying out my method I employ a metal plate 1, which may be produced in any suitable manner to provide the plate 40 with a marginal wall 2 and a resultantrecess 3. The base of the recess is provided view of the plate.

i with walls 4, in this instance rectangular in.

contour so as to rovide recesses 5. The upper edges of the walls 4 are in a plane with the upper. edges of the wall 2. To decorate the plate it is necessaryv that veneer of contrasting colors be secured in the respective recesses and in order to accomplish this I first take a sheet of veneer of maple, designated by the numeral6 and place it upon the plate 1, as shown in Figure 2; of the and after the recess 3 has been coated -wi suitable cement, and at this step of the method care being taken that no cement enters the recesses 5. The'sheet 6. is then subjected to pressure in any approved manner so that it will be pressed'into the recesses 3 and 5 and it assumes the position as shown in Figure 3 of the drawing and at which time the walls 2 and 4 form impressions 7 and 8, respectively, in the sheet. To

- remove these impressions,- as well as the portions of the sheet resting upon the wall 2 a grinder of any approved design is employed which removes all portions of the sheet above the upper edges of the respective walls, as shown in Fi re 7 of the drawing, which leaves all of ti recesses filled'with portions of the sheet.

After this operation it is necessary that the pieces of veneer accupying the recesses 5 be removed in order to make room for veneer contrasting in color to the sheetfi, which as before mentioned is maple, a comparatively white colored wood. It has been foundthat upon jarrin the plate 1 that the veneer occupying t e recesses 5 can be readily dislodged owing to the fact that no cement has been placed therein. Owing to the application of cement to the recess 3 the veneer will be firmly retained therein, but is removed from the recesses 5, as shown in Figure 4 of the drawing. I next take a sheet-of veneer 9, for instance of mahogany or other wood contrasting in color to the sheet 6, and place it upon'the plate, as shownin Figure 5 of the drawing, said sheet then being subjected to pressure in the same manner as the sheet 'G, it being of course understood that the recesses 5 have now been coated 'with cement. After pressure has been applied to the ljsheet 9 is assumes the position as shown in igure 6 of the drawing. The sheet 9 is then subjected to the action of the grindelrl in (Lrder 11710 relmove fallhparts of saidseetaovetepaneoteu edges of the walls 4 defining the recess egthereb filling the 5. In this manner the recesses'5 as wellastherecess3are filled with sections of veneer, as shown in. Fi 7 of the drawing.
