METHOD or ,EoEMING AND a hA ppl ication filed JuneTS,

In application, Serial No. 96,507, filed March 22, 1926, by Stuart W. Webb and Albert Allen, there is described a method'of forming, a mark on paper closely simulating watermark,,.while the paper is undergoing a surface finish such the well-known linen finish.v According to ithe method thereindescribed, the n1 arkingfiseffectedby a pattern made of thin material such as paper, out to 'thefforni of the desired mark andffixed in a position to permit its impression on the paper.

In carrying out alinen finishing method,

such, for example as described in"Patent No.,1,277,'(14:, dated Septemberfi, 1918, the

,paper is passed between a pair of t'abric belts and while interposed therebetweenyis passed through thef nip of heavy pressure rolls one of which is" softer than theother, this operation producing the desiredfinish of thepaper. The paper pattern "for mark} ing the paper simultaneously withits finishing and cut to the form of the desired mark, may be fixed to thesurfaceof one of the a fabric finish.

' The object of the present. invention is to pi *ovide almethod offorming and a'p )lying tion to a pattern-carrying member, such; as a belt or rolL In accordance withthe 'method of the present invention, a pattern of the desired configuration is almost wholly cut or 40 severed from a sheet lofpaper the pattern remaining joined to the main body of the paper by smalljoints which zinay be, easily it ruptured ortorn' fi'om th i a b y- LA.

LF KI Y-"Y V Figure 9 shows in perspective'the partially severed pattern produced therewith,

Figure 10 illustrates the manner in which a pattern isapplied to a carrying member. a Referring; first to Figure 1 of the drawings, 1 represents the upper or punch member of adie forefiecting a partial severance of a pattern from the paper. As shown best in Figure 2, this punch member comprises a base plate 2. from which project a) series of pattern cuttin'gelements 3; herein shown as being letters and forming the words Systems bond, arranged parallel to each other. The letters may be fixed to the base2 as by welding; and are regularly spaced from" one anotherfThe edges e of theupper, surface of each letter are well defined and constitute cuttin or punchingedges. Each letter 15 slight y notched out at the desired surface portions 02 thereof, so that the edges 0 are discontinuous. hen the upper member 1 is forced down against paper p placed over a corresponding female die member 4 arranged in cooperative relation thereunder, the cutting elements 3 punch the paper into the corresponding recesses P of the female die, except at the portions 2. Thus, the individual letters of the pattern are almost completely severed, small joints 7' joining the letters to the main body of the paper where the notched-out portions it did not exert a punching or cutting action. Preferably the support 6, to which the female die is fixed, 1s hollowed out under the recesses 4 in the form of a chamber 8, filled with an absorbent material, e. g., a sponge s, filled with glue or other adhesive. Thus, in punching or cutting the pattern, the cut portions are forced into the recesses 49 of the female member 4, and the under surfaces of these portions contact with the adhes1ve-filled absorbent material, and acquire a coating of adhesive. Preferably, the base is provided with a channel 9, through which adhesive may be introduced into the chamber 8.

The partially-severed pattern may be applied on its coated side immediately after punching, to a pattern-carrying member. As shown in Figure 5, the pattern may be applied to one of the rolls 10 of the fabricfinishing machine. After application, allowing complete setting or drying of the adhesive to take place, the body of the paper is grasped and pulled awayfrom the fixed patv tern, this action rupturing the paper at'the joints and completing the severance of the pattern from the body of the paper. Thus, only the pattern remains fixed to theroll, the individual letters of the pattern being accurately alined and regularly spaced to correspond with the letters 3 of the die. This method of application obviates cutting of individual letters, and their individual alinement and spacing on a carrying member.

If desired,the pattern may be fixed to the inner face of a fabric-finishing belt, as shown in Figure 4C, or where multi-ply belts are employed, the pattern at may be interposed between the plies 2 thereof, as shown in Figure 6. The paper to be finished, interposed between the fabric belts, in passing between the nip of the hard and soft rolls 10 of the finishing machine not only acquires a fabric finish, but also the mark impressed thereon by the pattern, the mark closely simulating a watermark.

In Figure 7 is shown a modified means for effecting partial severance of a marking pattern from paper. As shown, to a base 12 are fixed blocks 13, in which arefixed spaced spurs or prongs 14, projecting upwardly therefrom and arranged to perforate or score paper to the configuration of the desired pattern,which, as shown, consists of letters. When a sheet of paper to be cut is forced down over the prongs 13, the paper is scored or perforated to the configuration. of the desired pattern. Preferably the surfaces 6 of the blocks 13 between the prongs are coated with adhesive prior to the scoring of the paper. In scoring the paper, the under surface of the scored portions thus becomes coated with adhesive.

The paper is scored to the confi uration of the desired pattern,as shown in igure 9, and may be applied to a pattern-carryin member, for example, one of the rollslO 0% the linen-finishing machine and-the pattern fixed thereto, and after drying completely severed from the body of the paper.

Havin thus described certain embodiments 0 this invention, it is obvious that various changes or modifications might be made therein without departing from its spirit or scope as defined by the appended claims.

What I claim is: V

1. A method of forming and applying a paper-marking pattern to a pattern-carrying member, which comprises partially severing thepattern from a sheet, coating one face of t e pattern with an adhesive, applying the pattern to the pattern-carr ing member, allowing the adhesive to set, tiereby fixing the atternto the member, and then pulling the body of the paper away from the member to effect a complete severance of the pattern which alone remains on the patterncarrying member.

2. A method of forming and applying a. paper-marking pattern to a pattern-carrying member, which comprises partially severing a pattern from a sheet and simultaneously coating a face of the pattern with an adhesive, applying the pattern to the patterncarrying member, allowing the adhesive to set, thereby fixing the pattern to the member, and then pulling the body of the paper away from the member to effect a complete severance of the pattern which alone remains on the pattern-carrying member.

3. A method of forming and applyinga pat-tern comprising letters, to a pattern-carrying member, which com rises partially severing the letters from ash eet of paper in spaced and alinedrelation, coating a face of the letters With an adhesive, applying the pattern to a pattern-carrying vmember, allowing the adhesive to set, thereby fixing the pattern to the member, and then pulling the ody of the paper away from the member to effect a complete severance of the pattern which alone remains on the pattern-carrying member. r

4. A method of forming and applying a paper-marking pattern to a pattern-carrya die on to an adhesive, thereby coating one face of the partially punched pattern with an adhesive, applying thepattern to the pattern-carrying member, allowing the adhesive to set, thereby fixing the pattern to the member, and then pulling the body of the paper away from the member to efi'ect a, complete severance of the pattern which 10 alone remains on the pattern carrying member. i

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature.
