METHOD OF PRODUCING PATTERNS OR DRAWI'NGS N OlL-PAlNT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 469,045, dated February 16, 1892.

Application filed eptember 11,1891. Serial No. 405,426. (No specimens) I To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRIEDRICH AUGUST LAESECKE, of Leipsic, in the Kingdom of SPLX ony, German Empire, have invented new and useful Improvements in the Method of Producing Patterns or Drawings on Oil-Paint, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a method of producing patterns or designs upon the surfaces to of objects in oil-paint; and it consists in certain steps which I will now proceed to describe.

For the purpose of illustration I will suppose that it is desired to grain the surface of any object.

In carrying out my process in this instance the surface is first primed and then painted over with water-color. A blotter is prepared from leather, felt, paper, or other suitable absorbent, which will take up the paint with which the surface is covered, and upon one surface of this blotter the desired grain is printed in some fatty matter, oil, resin, or other like material, which is a non-absorbent 2 5 of the said paint, and so will prevent the blotter from taking up the paint on such portions of its surface as are covered and protected by this fatty or oily matter. The blotter thus prepared is then applied to the painted surface of the object to be grained, and is firmly pressed upon this surface. TVhen thus applied, the blotter will absorb the water-color at all parts of its surface which are vnot covered and protected by the fatty or oily material, but of course will not absorb the paint where this fatty or oily material comesin contact with the paint. When the blotter is -removed from the painted surface, there will therefore remain. upon the latter an exact 40 copy in paint of the graining design which had previously been printed or traced on the blotter, and after such removal of the blotter this painted surface may be finished up by treatment with the rubber, sponge, or comb,

or any other usual mode of finishing grained surfaces.

I have described my process as applied to graining for the purpose of illustration only, as already stated. It is obvious that any desired pattern or design may be produced upon the painted surface in the same way as described above for graining, the surfaces which it is desired to decorate being first primed and coated with paint, as described above. Therefore I wish to be understood as claiming this process, broadly, for the production of all kinds of patterns and designs in paint upon any surface which it is desired to decorate and to which this process is applicable.

This process is attended with the following advantages: It is very simple and easily practiced, it is much cheaper than the ordinary methods in use, and especially it results in the production of accurate designs upon the surface painted. It is obvious that this latter result must follow, from the fact that the pattern or design can be printed or traced upon the blotter with perfect accuracy, and of course an exact copy thereof is obtained in paint on the surface to be decorated.

Having thus described my inven tion, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The herein-described process for producing patternsor designs in paint on any suitable surface, the same consisting in first coating said surface with a paint of the color desired and then applying thereto, under suitable pressure, a blotter of paintabsorbing material upon the contact surface of which the desired pattern or design has been traced or printed in some suitable material which is a non-absorbent of the paint, substantially as described. i

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.

FRIEDRICH AUGUST LAESECKE.
