METHOD OF. ORNAMENTING OPEN-ENDED G LASSWARE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 406,692, dated July 9, 1889. Application filed March 12, 1889. Serial No. 302,957. (NomodeL) To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS B. ATTERBURY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improyements in the Method of Ornamenting Open-Ended Glassware; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of said invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The invention relates to an improved method of ornamenting open-ended glassware, such as hand-blown lamp chimneys, shades, globes, &c.
The object of my invent-ion is to ornamen lamp-chimneys, lamp shades, globes, &c., with various ornaments in depression or relief, as well as to give to the same irregular forms in the way of moldings, flutings, and the like, which has heretofore been found impracticable.
The method consists in closing one end of the article in a former having the ornamental configuration to be given to the article, and closing the opposite end and causing the heated article to be forced or to assume the shape of the former by means of a blow-pipe.
The method further consists in blowing the article and-finishing it in a plain form without the aid of a mold, then placing the article in a blow-snap, reheating the end to be ornamented, placing the heated end in a former having a movable bottom, moving the movable bottom upward to ornament the top of the article, making the same air-tight, and finally blowing through the snap to fill the still plastic glass into the ornamented portion of the former, all as will be more fully hereinafter described. y
In the manufacture of lamp chimneys, shades, &c., the mostdesirable and salable are those made by hand i. 8., as contradistinguished from the articles blown or pressed in a mold--for the reason that the hand-made articles are free from scams or ridges caused by the joints of the mold, and it is to improve this class of chimneys that my invention is specially applicable. Herein g corrugated form.
tofore this class of goods has only been ornamented to a very limited extentsuch as flaring, crimping, beading, 85c, and this has been confined to the extreme upper portion of the article; but by my invention I am enabled to ornament these articles for almost any portion of their length, and thus give verybeautiful results at a very slight cost over the expense of the ordinary article.-
In carrying out my method I have designed the devices shown in the accompanying drawings to illustrate one manner of accomplishing the end, and in which- Figure 1 is a transverse section of the former, showing a lamp-chimney held by a blow-snap and showing the movable bottom to the former to give the ornamental configuration to the top of the article. Fig. 2 is a plan or top view of one form of movable bottom. Fig. 3 is a View of a lamp-chimney or namented in accordance with my method.
A suitable frame A has mounted thereon a divided former B, having on its face the ornamentalconfiguration it is desired to give to the article, and having a flaring open end, as shown at B, to accommodate the size of the article. This former B is preferably made in two parts divided vertically and hinged or otherwise joined at one side and having a suit able catch or holder at the other.
' The lower end of the formerB is made flar ing and is fluted or corrugated to give to the end of the article the flaring corrugated form, as shown at C.
The former B above the contracted end of the fluted portion is provided with a depressed ornamented portion D, (shown in the former B, and in connection therewith to give to the end or top of the article the flar- This plunger is mounted in a suitable guideway in the frame and is operated by a foot-lever F, or may be op Y snap G consists of a base g,
' blow-snap and the end inserted in the gloryhole to reheat it. The end is then placed in the former and thrust down upon the former or plunger. The pressure is then applied to the movable bottom or plunger, which will expand the end of the chimney and give to the same the flaring fluted form, substantially as shown in Fig. 3. This will form an air-tight joint at this end, and when blowing in the pipe the article will be forced out or expanded into the ornamented portion of the mold.
While the devices and the means for operating the same have been found very desirable for carrying out my method, still it will be readily seen that various modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit or intent of my invention. It will also be seen that by my method I am enabled to ornament the articles for almost any portion of their length, andthus give very beautiful results.
In an application filed of even date herewith, Serial No. 302,958, I have claimed the apparatus for ornamenting open-ended glassware, and such I do not claim in this application.
Having now described my improved in ethod and one means for carrying the same into effect, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The method of ornamenting open-ended assume the the aid of a mold, then placing the article in a blow-snap, reheating the portion to be ornamented, placing the heated end in a former having a movable bottom, moving the movable bottom upward to ornament the top, making the same air-tight, and finally blowing through the snap to fill the still plastic glass into the ornamented portion of the former, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
