JOSEF TCTH, OF BUDAPEST, HUNGARY, ASSIGNOR- TO PETROL IGNUM COMPANY LIMITED, 01? BUDAPEST, HUNGARY.

METHOD OF MANUFACTURING FIGURES, CHARACTERS, INSCRIPTIONS, FRAMES, UTENSILS, AND OTHER ARTICLES, FANCY GOODS, AND THE LIKE.

No Drawing. Application filed September 19, 1923, Serial No. 663,719, and in Hungary September 22, 1922.

This invention relates to a method of manufacturing in a simple manner and at a cheap price elegant, durable and impermeable artiticles, for instance, figures. characters, inscriptions, frames, utensils, 't'ancy goods and the like. The essential characteristic feature ot the invention is that the desired shape or only the skeleton of the article to be produced is made from wooden plates, veneer, cardboard or the like and that this skeleton is covered with a water-proof mass which solidifies subsequently, for instance marble-cement in doughy or liquid state so that the finished product as regards outer appearance and outer properties corresponds with the mass applied but as regards inner properties possesses the common properties of the materials used.

The applying ot' the waterproof mass which is intended to form the coating and which solidifies subsequently may be citected by hand for instance by painting, dipping into the liquid mass, or mechanically for instance with the aid of a squirting apparatus. As the mass to be applied can be coloured at the liquid state in a simple and easy manner the articles may be coloured in the most various color shades. The coloring can be done also only after the applying of the mass either before or after the mass has solidified.

By applying the mass at certain points in thicker layers a plastic surface may be produced.

The mass of artificial stone applied on the skeleton and solidified ensures the water re sistance, durability and resisting capability of the article produced. The roundness at the edges of the skeleton are automatically produced at the applying of the mass so that no special work is necessary for removing sharp edges or corners.

In some cases it will be desirable to arrange ornaments, figures, letters or the like which protrude from the surface of the article. This is attained in a simple manner by applying the ornan'icnts or the like, made according to this method, on the coating of the skeleton the material of which has not yet solidified so that the ornaments laid on combine with the mass of the coating at the setting and are thus attached without special means of fiX- ation so that they form a whole with the article produced. It is evident that the ornaments or the like may have a different colour as the coating so that any desired colour ett'ccts can be produced.

As the desired shape of the articles made according to this method has been produced on the one hand by the corresponding shaping of the material which forms the skeleton and on the other hand by conveniently arranging the coating mass on the skeleton, the expensive negative moulds and the complicated treatmentrequired according to the manufacturing methods used at presentare no longer necessary.

I claim The herein described process of making ornamental articles, which consists in producing a rough skeleton form having sharp corners and edges and generally conforming to the shape of the desired article, then dipping the skeleton form in a loath of marble cement while the latter is in a fluent plastic state to coat the surface of the skeleton form with a layer of said cement having rounded corners and edges at the sharp corners and edges of said skeleton form.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
