GRAINING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 416,976, dated December 10, 1889.
' Application filed Decemberlfi, 1888. Serial No. 293,716. (No specimens.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRANK AUGUST AL- TERs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Atlanta, in the county of Fulton and State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Producing Artificial Shading and Grain on the Surfaces of \Vood; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in methods for producin artificial graining on the surfaces of wood, as will hereinafter be more particularly pointed out or explained.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple and economic method for the artificial graining of wood, by which woods of a cheaper quality or kind may have imparted or transferred to their surfaces the same general de sign of grain possessed by woods of superior quality or kind, and also at the same time and by the same operation to obtain from the wood of liner quality an imitation of thenatural shades thereof, all as will more fully hereinafter appear when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 represents a top or plan view of a piece of wood from which the transfer of I grain is to be taken, and Fig. 2 represents a similar view of the same piece of wood after the same has been worked or operated upon to produce therefrom the combined effect of grain and shade on the surface of the piece to which transfer is made. Fig. 3 represents in perspective a view showing the manner of transferring the design from the composition roller onto the surface of a piece of wood for receiving it.
I am aware that heretofore ithas been common to take a piece of wood of finer kind or quality-say of walnutand transfer the grain thereof to the surface of a piece of wood of cheaper kind or quality-say of pine-by first treating the piece of finer quality with some solution to 'open its pores and more clearly define its grain, and to apply to the surface thereof a coating of paint; then a composition roller is passed over the same to take up the design of its grain, and this roller is passed over the piece of wood of cheaper quality or kind and transfers to the surface thereof the design of grain possessed by the first piece.
In the practice of my invention I take a piece of wood of finer quality or kindsay of walnut-and I indent its surface, by means of a chisel or otherwise, with a number or series of narrow openings or lines which represent the shade of thewood. The piece is then treated with potash or similar solution to open the pores, and paint is applied to the surface thereof. A composition roller is then passed over the surface to take up the design combining the grain and shade, and is then passed over the surface of wood of cheaper quality or kindsay of pine-and the design will be transferred to the surface thereof in a manner similar to the former instance referred to.
As another way of carrying my invention into effect, I may use two pieces of wood for obtaining the desired result-that is to say, when a piece from which transfer isto be taken is too hard to be punctured or indented by the use of simple tools, I take another piece of softer wood and indent the same in the manner explained, and by passing the composition roller first over the one to obtain the grain and then over the other to obtain the shade the combined effect of the two will be had.
In order that those skilled in the art may more fully understand the nature of my invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, wherein- A represents a piece of wood from which transfer is to be taken, the line or direction of its grain being clearly defined and indicated by the letter a.
B represents the same piece of wood after it has been punctured or indented in lines following the directions of shade naturally existing therein, and which lines or indentations are represented by the letter I).
0 represents an ordinary composition transfer hand-roller that is passed over the surface of the piece of wood from which transfer is taken, and afterward passed over the surface of some other piece to which transfer is to be made.
It will be understood that the wood employed for obtaining the transfer of grain and shade is first treated with some solution, as potash, to openits pores and more clearly expose its grain, and then painted in the manner usual heretofore. It may be stated, however, that when the grain of the wood is sufficiently distinct or prominent the treatment to a solution is dispensed with.
The advantages of my invention are obvi ous from the fact of the inanyimitations that can be made on cheap woods of the natural or characteristic grains and shadows possessed by woods of expensive or superior quality or kind.
Having thus described-my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The method herein described for pro ducing artificial graining and shading on the surfaces of wood, the same consisting in indenting the surface of the wood from which transfer is to be taken, and treating such wood to a chemical solution, substantially as specified, then passing a composition roller over the same, and finally passing such roller over the piece of wood on which the transfer is to be made, as set forth.
2. The method herein described for producing artificial graining' and shading on the surfaces of wood, the same consisting in indentin g suitable shade designs on the surface of the wood from which transfer is to be taken and treating such wood to a chemical solution, substantially as specified, then painting' the same and passing over it a composition roller, and then passing such roller over the piece of wood on which transfer is to be made, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
FRANK AUGUST VALTERS.
