APPARATUS FOR IVIELTING SEALING-WAX, &c., 0N PAPER OR OTHER SURFACES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ORNAMENTAL SEAL-DESIGNS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 722,341, dated March 10, 1903.
Application filed December 10, 1902. Serial No- 134,6 98. (No model.)
To ctZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES H. WILLIAMS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Milton, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Apparatus for Melting Sealingaxor other Substance on Paper or other Surfaces for the Product-ion of Ornamental Seal-Designs, of which the following is a specification.
To provide a simple and convenient heatingapparatus whereby sealing-wax or other substance of various colors may be melted on the surface of an envelop or other piece of paper or cardboard in order to enable a seal of ornamental design to be produced thereon by properly blending the colors with a suitable implement is the object of my invention, which consists in an apparatus embodying a melting-table supported on standards rising from a base and adapted to be heated by a lamp or other suitable means, said table consisting of two metal disks or plates placed one over the other and secured together by short studs or rivets in such manner as to form an air space or chamber between them to prevent the upper plate from becoming unduly heated, said upper plate being encircled by a ring of asbestos or other non-conducting and heat-resisting substance,which forms a guard or protector to enablethe operator to freely alter the position of or remove the envelop, card, or other article on which the wax or other substance is being melted from the heated table without burning the fingers, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of an apparatus for melting sealing-wax constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the same on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1.
In the said drawings, A represents a wooden base, and b a series of removable metal rods or standards fitting into holes in the base A and serving to support a double heating-table B, provided on its under side with sockets 0, into which fit the upper ends of the rods 79, the table being thus made removable from the rods and the rods from the base for convenience in packing away the apparatus. The table B, which is adapted to be heated, preferably by the flame of an alcohol-lamp C, placed beneath it, or in any other suitable manner, is composed of two metal disks or plates 01 e, placed one over the other, the latter or upper one e being of smaller diameter than the lower one d and being connected therewith by short studs or rivets f, the two plates being separated or spaced apart by said studs in order to form an intermediate air space or chamber g, whereby the upper plate 6 is prevented from becoming unduly heated, thus avoiding the too-rapid heating and melting of the sealing-wax and also preventing the envelop, card, or other article 6 placed upon it from becoming scorched or discolored in the operation of melting the sealing-wax thereupon to form the seal.
The plate 6 is closely encircled by a wide thick ring D of asbestos or other suitable non- 7o conducting and heat-resisting substance extending to the edge or periphery of the lower plate 61, to which it is secured by rivets h or in any other suitable manner, said ring D being preferably fiush with the surface of the upper plate 6 and forming a guard or protector to permit the operator to freely turn, alter the position of, or move the envelop, card, or other article upon which the seal is being made from the heating-table without burning the fingers.
In the production of an ornamental seal with the above-described apparatus a base or thin layer of sealing-wax of any desired color is first placed upon the card, envelop, or piece of paper or other material by rubbing the end of the stick of wax on its surface while heated by contact with the hot table B, which keeps the wax in a soft or plastic condition While it is being worked into the desired shape. The envelop or other article is then removed from the table and drops of sealingwax of another color or colors deposited upon the first-named layer or base, which has become partially cooled or set, after which the envelop or other article is again placed upon the heating-table, by which all the wax is melted to a uniform consistency, when it can be manipulated or stirred with a suitable implement, such as a pointed rod or wire, to thereby produce an ornamental design by combining or blending the colors in various forms according to the fancy, taste, or skill of the operator.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is.
1. An apparatus for melting sealing-wax or other substance on paper and other surfaces comprising a base and a melting-table supported on standards rising from said base and adapted to have heat applied thereto, said table consisting of two connected metal plates placed one above the other With an intermediate air space or chamber and a ring of non-conducting heat-resisting material encircling the upper plate and forming a guard or heat-protector for the hand.
2. An apparatus for melting sealing-Wax or other substance on paper and other surfaces comprising a base, uprights rising therefrom, a melting-table removably supported on said uprights and consisting of a lower plate or disk and an upper plate of smaller diameter secured together by studs or rivets in such manner as to form between them an air space or chamber, a ring of non-conducting heatresisting material secured to the lower plate and encircling the upper plate to form a heat-protector for the hands, and means for heating said melting-table.
Witness my hand this 6th day of December, A. D. 1902.
CHARLES H. WILLIAMS.
In presence of P. E. TESOHEMACHER, MARY V. PHELAN.
