Definitions

  • floor covering such, for example, as lino-- leums and the like.
  • the principal objects of the invention are to improve the construction of linoleum and similar surface coverings and processes of making the same and to provide a floor cover ing which, when completed, will in every re spect resemble the floor known as Dutch tiling.
  • While the invention is particularly designed to be applied to the manufacture of linoleum in imitation of Dutch tiling, certain features thereof may be applied to the manufacture of surface coverings other than linoleum and certain features also may be applied to the manufacture of linoleum and similar surface coverings having designs certain portions of which are in relief but not made to resemble particularly Dutch tiling or any other kind of tiling.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of a section of ornamental surface covering constructed in accordance withone form of the present invention
  • Figure 2 is a detail sectional view illustrat-- ing one step'in the method of forming'an ornamental surface c'overlng in accordance .W1t-h one form of the present invention
  • Figure 3 is a detail sectional view on an enlarged scale of the finished ornamental surface covering constructed in accordance.
  • Figure 4 1s a detail sectional view illustrat ing one'step in a slightly modified method of forming an ornamental surface covering
  • Figure 5 is a detail sectional view on an enlarged scale, of the finished ornamental surface covering constructed in accordance 'with the modified method hereinbeforereferred to.
  • asuitable backing such as designated by-the numeral 10
  • This backing 10 is, 'more or less common in the manufacture of linoleums and the like, and may consist of any material suited for the purpose, of which burlap is one example.
  • the linoleum material in granular form issame manner as sliced animals or sliced maps are assembled, with the vertical edges of the various parts closely abutted.
  • the sheet is then consolidated in a flat-faced heated press.
  • the mortar-representing material is in the form of strips and it is desired that the joints should be represented by sunken areas between the tesserae, I may arrange the elements by making the tesserae 14 (or 24) thicker than the intervenin joint-representing strips 12 (or 20). In *ig. 2 the strips and tesserae have abutting vertical faces, while in Fig. 4 the tesserae somewhat overlie inclined faces 25 of the strips. This latter is of advantage in some cases, for when the material which is to represent the mortar joint (for example) extends under the adjacent tesserae the tesserae need not be so accurately positioned,
  • the assembled sheet is then subjected to compression in a fiat-faced press such as is ordinarily employed in consolidating straight-line inlays.
  • a fiat-faced press such as is ordinarily employed in consolidating straight-line inlays.
  • Such presses are usually heated at least on the face which contacts with the upper face of the sheet.
  • This compaction and consolidation by heat and pressure is often termed vulcanization in the linoleum industry for it is similar in some respects to the pressure vulcanization in the rubber industry.
  • the pressure causes them to be expanded laterally somewhat and they will flow slightly over the intervening joint-represent ing strips, as indicated rather diagrammatically in Figs. 3 and 5.
  • the pressure of course causesthe adjacent faces of the tesserae and the intervening strips to be welded together as, it were, into a. substantially homogeneous sheet.
  • the sheet is of course subjected to the ordinary curing and drying operation usual in the linoleum industry.
  • the final sheet therefore comprises tesserae in relief with respect to the narrow mortar-representing strip portions.
  • the different tesserae under pressure will flow somewhat differently from others of the tesserae.
  • the re sult is that while the outlines are clearly defined, the joint width or groove shape will not be exactly the same throughout the piece. Also if some of the tesserae are placed slightly askew, whether intentionally or not, as they may be especially when the jointrrepresenting material underlies the tesserae, the appearance of the joint or the groove width will again vary somewhat. Such unavoidable inaccuracies result in what might be termed irregular irregularities.
  • a linoleum sheet comprising a attern of compacted linoleum tesserae, some 0 which are in relief, the margins of the latter overlying and adhering to the outer faces of the adjacent lower-lying sections, with portions of the latter exposed to view in the sunken areas.
  • a linoleum sheet which consists in cutting out of differently colored sheets of compacted and somewhat malleable linoleum tesserae of the desired shape, assembling into a desired design such tesserae in spaced relation together with interposed strips of compacted linoleum whose faces lie below those of the tesserze, exerting pressure on the exposed faces of said tesserze sufiicient to cause the tesserae and strips to be welded together, and relieving the pressure before the tesserae faces are depressed to the level of the faces of the strips, whereby a sheet with tesserae in relief is produced.
  • a linoleum sheet comprising a suitable backing, a design made up of separated compacted linoleum tcsserae in relief with respect to strips of compacted linoleum interposed and exposed between said tesserae, the edges of said tesserae overlapping and being surface-welded to the upper surfaces of adjacent strips, both said tesserae and strips being in contact with and adhering to saidbacking.
  • the process of producing a patterned linoleum sheet which comprises arranging in a suitable pattern and in spaced relation previously-compacted and shaped but still malleable tesserae in relief with respect to other linoleum material exposed to view between and a so extending under the adjacent tesserae, and applying pressure to the exposed faces of the tesserae in such manner as to weld together the parts ofthe sheet and cause the tesserae to spread somewhat sidewis" but not enough to cover the intervening areas, thereby producing sunken areas between the tesserae in which the intervening material is visible, the margins of the tesseraa being clearly defined-as compared with those of moulded inlaid linoleum-and having visible irregularities which do not reoccur in successive pattern-repeat areas.
  • a linoleum sheet comprisin a pattern of compacted linoleum tesseree whose edges are clearly definedas compared with those of moulded inlaid linoleumand which tesserae are in relief with respect to and are, welded to intervening exposed compacted linoleum which extends under the adjacent tesserae, the margins of the tesserae forming in the sunken areas visible irregularities which do not reoccur in successive patternrepeat areas.
