Aug. 4, 1931 STATES tongs ssnemn G. BEWARE, OF IQ'GE'ZK. ATZEEQEBQE-O, BEETS m rsnl'src Application filed October 25, 1227. Serial E0. 228,885.

y invention relates to coated metallic mesh fabrics. These fabrics are of link mesh or coat of mail or armor mesh, and are initially cleaned and usually plated with precious metal.

Such plated mesh fabrics have heretofore been coated with a single layer of colored enamel having e base of oil and resin which required baking, and was not only frangible m and subject to chipping by use, but tended to osydize the material to which the coating was applied.

The objects of my invention are to avoid the above indicated defects, and to produce a. mesh which is tough, strong, permanent, and infrsngible throughout, and one in which the color is permanent or non fugitive and non fa-dable.

To the above ends essentially my inven- 29 tion consists in the means of securing the desired ends which fall within the scope of the appended claims;

In the drawings which form a. part of this specification 5 Figure l is a plan view of an armor mesh fabric,

Figure 2, a section of a cruciform link taken on line 22 of Figure 1, and

Figure 3, a section or a ring link taken 30 on line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Like characters of reference indicate like parts throughout theviews.

The form of mesh herein illustrated coinprises parallel rows of circular or ring linls 4. Each four of which are engaged with it flat cruciform link or plate 5 by four cornerprongs 6 converging in the rear of the late. The links are of metal, and are in.- itielly cleaned and usually plated with a so metal by the electrolytic or other proces.

The mesh has applied to its surface, prefcrsbly by an air or other brush, a coat of what may be characterized as a pyroxylin snsmel or pyroxylin base lacquer enamel, in

so distinction from an oil bass enamel or a burnt on m'licious vitreous type of enamel. In this the vehicle of the pigment is a yrczyli base, namely nitro cellulose, and is quick drying b evaporation. A. more so extended characterization of this pyroxylin enamel or lacquer enamel is a pigment ground into a vehicle consisting primarily of nitreted cotton dissolved in suitable solrents, and may or may not include the incorporation of gums, resins or oils, and may or may not include plasticizers or softeners and sundry solvents or diluents.-

l'rnproved effects ma be obtained by applying to the describe pyroxylin enamel a top coat-mg of a. high grade cleer lacquer w (in distinction from a pigmented. lacquer).

A clear lacquer me be drilled as substantially a solution 0 a rated cotton in a suitable solvent mixtut end may or may not include gums, resins or oils, or may or may not include plasticizers or softening agents, and sundry non solvents or diluents.

If desired the original coating of the plated mesh fabric may consist of a. mixture created by th incorporation oi varying pro- 7 portions of clear lacquer in the pyroxylin enamel.

"The shove cost or costs are applied prefersbly by a brush, and quickly evaporates leaving a clear color, and when clear lscquer is used, a. high gloss. The setting of the cost or coats by evaporation rather "than by belting is an important time saver in my process, and the elimination of baking rceuts the change of coloring occasions by 84 high temperatures. The avoidance of the necessity of baking results in an absence of any chemical reaction in the setting of the lacquer. As there is no chemical reaction in the setting of the pyroxylin enamel coating 35 the latter is more durable and the range 0% colors therein greater.

Over the described coating or coatin s is applied by a. brush or otherwise a finis in film -or coating consisting of a mixture 0 pearl essence with a. high grade clear cotton lacquer. Peer essence is a. suspension of the natural crystals of guanin in a. liquid. In this instance the essence is of a pasty constituency and the clear lacquer is a thinner. This coating imparts a somewhat iridescent effect to the color and gloss of the earlier cost or coats.

ln Figures Q'and 3, upon the bodies 7 and 8 or the linlr. 5 and 4 respectively, are dia- 1w 2 emme grammatically shown the layer or coating 10 of pyroxylin enamel or pyroxylin base lecquer enamel, superposed upon which is the coating or layer 11 of high grade clear lacquer, covered in turn with the layer 12 of pearl essence.

The resultant mesh is thus encased in a.

'coyerin which is exceedin 1 ton h ermeb 7 nent and beautiful in color and finish and non perishable in texture.

It will be understood that the use of the pearl essence lacquer cost should not be attemptefi upon a prior coat of baked or oil base enamel. This is because it is generally true that the mixture of the solrents and diluents usecl in the production of pyroxylin base products have a solvent or disintegrating action upon the films produced from oil base types of finishing meteri sls.

The present application is s car-pending ease with spplicnnts companion application Serial Number 228,864 which relates to the process for producing articles claimed in the present case.

I claim 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a metallic mesh fabric comprising links, a base layer of pyroxylin enamel thereon, and final layers of pearl essence supported by the base layer.

2. As an improved article of manufacture, a metallic mesh fabric comprising links, a base layer of pyroxlyin base lac ner enamel, a secondary layer of high gre e clear lacqner upon the first layer, and a layer of pearl essence upon the second layer.

3. As an improved article of manufacture, a metallic mesh fabric carryin a base layer of py xlyin lacquer and a. 'nal layer of clear lacquer carrying pearl essence.

4. In a process for ornamenting metallic mesh fabric, the steps consisting in applying to the fabric a. cost of a. base lacquer contsining pigmented pyroxylin and superposing thereon a clear pyroxylin lacquer.

In testimony whereof I have allixed my signature.
