WALL-PAPER.

SPECIFICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 358,647, dated March 1, 1887.

T0 at whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM CAMPBELL, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in VVall-Paper, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention consists of wall-paper ornamented with flock or other pulverized material of different colors, to produce a clouded and variegated appearance.

The invention also consists of the method of applying the pulverized ornamenting material to the surface of the paper, and of the apparatus employed for carrying the process into effect. 7

Reference is to be hadto the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 illustrates wall-paper ornamented in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a broken side view of the apparatus for coating the paper, and Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional elevation of the same.

A represents an ordinary flockingmachine consisting of a suitable casing with an inclined flexible bottom, a, and drawing roller I). Along one side of the machine is a shaft, 0, provided with numerous tappets,gf, for striking the heaters (Z to cause them to strike the under surface of the bottom a. The beaters are pivoted upon the shaft f, and are normally held in contact with the bottom a by the strong springs 5 so that when the tappets strike the short ends of the heaters the opposite ends will be lowered against the tension of the springs, which will react when the tappets pass the short ends of the heaters and cause the heaters to strike the under surface of the flexible bottom. Above the flexible bottom a of the tlockingmaehine are held several fun.- nel'shaped receptacles, h, in which the pulverized ornamenting material is placed.

The paper to be ornamented is first coated on one surface with size or glue, as illustrated at z, and is then passed along the flexible bottom a and attached to the drawing-roller b. The ornamenting material is then placed in the receptacles h, a different color in each receptacle. The machine is then put in operation, which causes the different colored pulverized material to be beaten up and spread over the paper. At the same time the drawing-roller b will be put in motion, which will slowly draw the paper through the machine. The differenhcolored ornamenting materials will dispose themselves at different parts of the paper, as indicated atj and it, give distinct solid colors at those parts, and where the different colors meet they will mingle, producing a variegated appearance, asindicated at E, thus producing a very handsome and rich ornamented paper.

I am aware that fabrics and also paper have heretofore been ornamented with pulverized dry colors applied during the process of manufacturing, and applied with brushes, as in the patent to \Villiam Hedden, No. 249,342, NovemberS, 1851, and in the patent to WV. H. R. Toye, No. 238,991, March 1, 1881, and therefore do not claim, broadly, the ornamentation of paper or other fabric with pulverized dry colors of different colors.

Having thus fully described my invention, l
