Application vAugust 17,`
6 Claims.
The main object of this invention'is to provide a method of producing overlay and/or inlay effects in vWood which produces rvery desirable and attractive results and maybe economically practiced.
A furtherv object is to provide a method of this character by means of which a variety of effects can be easily produced.
Objects pertaining to details and economies of .my invention will definitely appear from the description to follow. The invention is defined in the claims. y
The manner of carrying out my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary front view of a panel formed by my method or process.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective v1ew.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view illustrating conventionally an apparatus for the practice of my invention.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary View in section on line 4-4 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 is a view` corresponding to Fig. 4 illustrating a step of my method.
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary view corresponding to Figs. 4 and 5 illustrating another step of the method. v
Fig. 7 is a fragmentary View illustrating still another step of the method.
In the accompanying drawing the parts are shown mainly in conventional form and the design is illustrated only. No attempt has been i'rnade to show the parts in accurate dimensions.
In Fig. 3, I illustrate a wood panel or sheet 1,
preferably of veneer. As a preliminary step I moisten this panel, which may be done by steaming or it is ordinarily suicient to apply moisture to the surface thereof as by meansvof a sponge.
`The sheet or panel is arranged upon a supporting bed 2, preferably having a steam chamber 3 therein. A wire screen 4 is arranged upon the bed, the panel being superimposedupon the wire I'screen; The purpose of this is to permit the escape of steam from the panel during the heating and pressing steps.
The die head 5 has asteam chamber 6 therein and carries the die plate '7 which has a design, preferably in the form of a stencil, indicated at 8 therein. This is conventionally shown in Fig. 3.
With the die plate mounted on the die head and the moistened panel arranged on the support, the die head is actuated to close so that portions of the panel are subjected simultaneously to pressure and heat.
In the embodiment illustrated the background portion 9 of the panel is depressed, the stencil being of suitable shape to produce the design 10, which portion is left as an overlay or emboss.
193i. serial 557,435
The vfiber of the depressed portion 9 is .com-f.
pasted so that the grain of the woodA is very perceptibly disarranged or changed, with the re.-
sultY that an overlay appearance is secured. It will be understood that the design portion or figure may be the part subjected to pressure, thereby producing the opposite effect, that is, inset or inlay effect.
As further steps in the method I preferably coat the design portion 10 with a resist 11 indicated in Fig. 5. The backgroundportion 9 is then stained, the stained portion being indicated at l2 in Fig. 6 in a greatly exaggerated manner, as it will be understood that I preferably use coloring matter, such as the coloring matter employed by printers, which penetrates the fiber. For convenience in illustration the coloring matter is shown as a layer.
The resist is then removed as indicated in Fig. 6 and the entire surface coated with shellac or varnish as indicated at 13. f
By simultaneously applying the pressure and heat the wood is compacted and the grain changed in appearance, and it retains its form or appearance when the pressure is removed. It will be understood that the design may be changed desired.
By my method the panels may be very rapidly produced and when veneer is treated it may be readily secured to a suitable backing or used as the facing vof a laminated structure with highly satisfactory results.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Paten 1s: Y
1. The method 'of producing overlay and/or inlay effects in wood consisting of moisteningV a sheet or panel of Wood veneer, arranging the moistened sheet or panel in superimposed relation to a wire screen upc-n a fiat supporting bed and subjecting to simultaneous heat and pressure by means of a die platehaving the design on the face thereof whereby a portion of thesurface of the sheet is depressed on the fiber thereof compacted and the grain. of the wood distinguishably changed in appearance from the portions not subjected to the pressure of the die.
2. The method of producing ove-rlay and/or inlay effects in wood consisting of znoistening a sheet or panel of wood veneer, arranging the moistened sheetA or panel upon a flat supporting bed and subjecting to simultaneous heat and pressure by means of a die plate having the design on the face thereof whereby the back is flat and a portion of thefront surface of the sheet is depressedand the fiber thereof compacted and the grain of the Wooddistinguishably changed in appearance from the portions not subjected to the pressure of the die. f
3. The method of producing overlay and/or all inlay effects in wood consisting of moistening a sheet or panel of Wood veneer, arranging the moistened sheet or panel upon a fiat supporting bed and subjecting to simultaneous heat and pressure by means of a die plate having the design on the face thereof whereby a portion of the surface of the sheet is depressed and the fiber thereof compacted and the grain of the Wood distinguishably Changed in appearance from the portions not subjected to the pressure of the die, coating' the uncompacted portions with a resist, staining the compacted portion, and removing the resist and varnishing the surface of the sheet or panel.
4. The method of producing overlay and/or inlay eifects in Wood consisting of moistening, subjecting designed portions thereof while supported by means permitting theescape of steam only from. the, opposite side to simultaneous heat and pressure whereby the designed portion of the suiface isk depressed and the grain of the wood changed in apearance from the other portion thereof. v
5. The method of producing overlay and/or inlay eiects in Wood consisting of moistening, subjecting designed portions,V thereof to simultaneous heat and pressure whereby the designed portion of the surface is depressed and the grain ofithe wood changed in appearance from the other portion thereof, coating the uncompacted portion with a resist, staining the compacted portion, and removing the resist and finishing the surface.
6. The method of producing inlay or overlay effects in Wood consisting of subjecting designed portions of a sheet or panel `to pressure whereby a portion of the surface of the sheet or panel is depressed and the grain of the wood changed in appearance from the other portionv thereof, coating the uncompacted portioniwitha resist,V stain?,k
ing` thecompacted portion, removing theresist, and nishingthe surface of they sheet, or panel.
