This invention relates to a'device forform-.
ing paper sheets, more particularly" photo-1 graphic iprlntsandmountings, with arough or deckled edge and also relates to means 3;; for forming embossed borders upon photo: graphic prints, mountings and thelike; To cut paper soas to simulate a soft "roughly torn edge and yet keep this edge in asub= stantial alignment has heretofore been very 1 diflicult of. accomplishment. As a result deckled edge -moun ting's had to be manu factured by expensive ,machines, and pur-, chased by the photographer in a completely formed condition;
15? rovide a simple method and apparatus which will enableany photographicfinisher 20. deckled edges upon his finished prints themselves. It is especially useful forwvamateur finishing and enables the photographer to rapidly turn out amateur prints with an atfor forming. mountingboards for photo tractive deckled-edge.

by :the hand during the deckling process. This results in breaking down the print 9 into the'groove 12, as illustrated in Fig, 5, causing it to rend or tear on an irregular line directly over; the groove 12,and form a deckled edge, 100
ill described as! applied .7 1 Y thereon, such as illustrated at 13, Fig. 7. The print is then turned so as to cut all four edges in this manner, the operator reducing it to the desired size by comparison with the scale on the rule 11. Therule 11 is provided with an indentation 17 directly in alignment with the groove 12 so as to enable the extremity of the instrument 14 to be inserted over the inner edge of the print.
The tool 14 preferably carries a semi-pointed blunt end 15 for deckle edging and a rounded end 16 for embossing, as will be later described. The edges of the groove 12 should be relatively sharp and smooth for the best results.
It is desired to call attention to the fact that there is no cutting or shearing action in the use of the device. The entire result is due to the tension imparted to the print over the groove which acts to rend or brake it up on an irregular, attractive line with a soft edge.
To assist the operator in holding the print taut over the groove 12, a smoothing attachment, such as illustrated at 18, Fig. 3, may be attached to the instrument 1 1. This device consists of a pair of resilient shoes 19- arranged to travel over the print at each side of the groove 12' so as to smooth it ahead of the instrument and keep it tight at all times.
The board 10 may also be provided with means for embossing or raising a border in photographic prints or mountings. To accomplish this, grooves are formed in the board 10 to conform to the desired border.
Two differing sized sets of grooves such as illustrated at 20 and 21, conforming to the popular sized sizes of prints are usually all that are necessary for the majority of uses.
The grooves are preferably formed with a rounded bottom, as indicated in Fig. 4, so as to substantially conform to the rounded end 16 on the instrument 14. To assist the operator to align his instrument over the groove, when it is concealed by the print, embossing frames, such as illustrated in Fig; 6, are employed, there being one frame for each set of grooves 20 and 21. Each of the embossing frames has a cut-out 2'7 conforming to the size of the figure outlined by the outer edge of the groove. The embossing frames are located on, and clamped to, the board 10 by means of studs 25, which project from the board and a groove 23, formed in the edge of the board.
In use, a print or mounting is positioned face down over the desired groove outline on the board, the print being positioned thereon by means of the scale on the aligning rule 11. A lip 22 on the embossing frame is then fitted into the groove 23 and the frame is pressed down over the print.
The embossing frames are provided with openings26, which pass over the studs 25 and accurately locate the frame. The frame can be pressed down by hand or by means of thumb nuts 24 threaded onto the studs 25.
When the embossing frame is in position, the opening 27 therein will align with the outer edge of one of the sets of embossing grooves 20 or 21 so that when the instrument 1 1 is run along the edge of the opening 27 it will travel directly over the embossing groove. Pressure upon the instrument will cause the rounded end 16 to force the print into this groove forming a depression therein conforming to the outline of the groove. This results in a raised border on the face of the print, such as illustrated at 28, Fig. 7.
The terms deckle edge? and deckling as used herein refer to any roughor torn appearing edge. The term embossing refers either to a projection or a depression formed by permanently distorting the sheet of material. The exact method of attaching the embossing plate to the board is not essential. Many variations of this will appear to those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains.
lVhile a specific method of carrying out my invention and specific devices for accomplishing the method have been described and illustrated herein, it is desired to be understood that the same may be varied, within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
