BENJAMIN WALKER, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
TRANSFER DECORATING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 741,746, dated October 20, 1903.
Application filed September 25, 1902. Serial No. 124,775. (No specimens.)
T0 LM wiz/0m, it may concern,.-
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN WALKEma citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Transfer Decorating, of which the' following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings. l
The invention relates to improvements in the process of decorating, being especially applicable to the lettering of signs or the formation of designs havingclearly-,deined outlines.
It is the object of the invention to save time and labor which is usually expended in let-l tering, striping, or painting other designs byl hand and at the same time to obtain lequal ory better results than. by the hand process.
It is a further object to obtain a'process by which the designs may beY duplicated with very little additional labor.
With these objects in view the invention consists in the process, as hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure l is a plan view illustrating the first step in the process and indicates in dotted lines the cutting which forms a subsequent step. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the holder on which the parts of the design are assembled. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the manner of affixing the design to the surface to be decorated.
Figs. 4 and 5 areV detail views illustrating4 slight modifications. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing the manner of forming simultaneously a number of designs. Fig. 7 is a longitudinal sectional View on the line :c a: of Fig. l.
In the present state of the art the lettering, striping, or placing of other designs upon a surface to be decorated is usually performed by handwork, the design being formed either by hand or by stenciling. In applying designs by this method it is of course` essential that the surface to be decorated should be first coated with the desired body-color and that this coating should be `thoroughly dry before the lettering or other design is applied thereto. painted :it is usual to form them with a single coat of pigment, as the application of a Furthermore, when the letters are vp With my plying to a sheet of suitable material a detachable iilm of pigment, of then cutting this sheet and the attached film into thedesired design, of then afflxing the out design to the down, and in finally removing the sheet from the ilm. This process is preferably carried ont in the following manner: A sheet of suitable material-such as paper, cardboard, cloth, or any thin ilexible substance-is irst coated with a sizing or soluble film. I have found that a sizing material suitable for the purpose may be formed by a mixture of one part White glue, four and one-half parts water, and four and one-half partsv glucose. When the sized surface is dried, it is given ,oneor more coats of the pigment,which may be any suitable oil-paint of the color desired for the design. When this is dry, the sheet is cut to form the design. As shown in Fig. 7 Adesignates the sheet of material having the sizing a and paint film a/ aflixed thereto. This sheet may then be out, as indicated by the dotted lines B,to form the lettersor parts of the design. The next step in the process is to assemble these out portions in proper relation to each other, so that they may be applied to the surface to be decorated. It is obvious that the assembling of parts may be done directly upon the surface to be'decorated; but it may be more conveniently accomplished by providing a holder,'such as C, formed either of ytransparent material or preferably of an open-mesh material, such as wire-netting. In assembling the parts of the design upon the holder the lmside is arranged outward and the letters or parts are arrangedin reverse order, as shown in Fig. 2.." W'hen all of the arts are assembled upon the holder and attached thereto by paste, glue, or any suitable material, the holder is then placed in adja- .65 surface to be decorated'with the film side.

cence to the surface to be decorated and the parts of the design pressed into contact with said surface. After remaining a short time in contact the holder may be removed, and the outer sheet may then he detached from the pigment by sponging With Water or any suitable solventwhich will dissolve the film of sizing.
It will be understood that the preliminary steps in the process-viz., the preparation of the sheets-With the detachable pigment-m ay be performed long in advance of the subsequent steps, so that the pigment is given a chance to thoroughly dry. All that the decorator is required to do is to out the design from the sheets, assemble the parts, affix it to the surface to be decorated, and remove the outer sheet. Furthermore, where the design or letters are standard they may be cut by machine, so that the Whole of the hand operation consists in assembling, affixing, and removing the transfer'. Where the design is formed in different colors, the parts thereof may be cut from separate sheets of the proper color and then assembled in the manner before described. Shaded letters may also be formed by having the body portion, such as E, of the letter cut from one sheet of material and the shaded portions F from another sheet, the parts being then assembled as shown in Figs. fl and 5.
In Fig. 6 I show the manner of forming a multiple of similar letters or designs, which consists in arranging above a pile G of the prepared sheets a pattern Il of the design and then cutting all simultaneously, as by means of therscroll-saw I.
What I claim as my invention isl. The process of decorating which consists in coating a sheet with a transferable film of pigment, cutting the parts of the design from said coated sheet, assembling said parts with the film side outward upon a holder through which the design may be seen, aflixing the film side ofthe cut design to the surface to be decorated, and removing the outer sheet.
2. The process of decorating which consists in coating a sheet with a transferable lm of pigment, cutting the parts of the design from said sheet, assembling the said parts in proper relation upon a foraminated holder with the film side outward, afiixing the film side of the design to the surface to be decorated, and removing the outer sheet.
3. The process of decorating which consists in cutting portions of a single character from a plurality of different sheets coated with a transferable film of pigment of different colors or shades, assembling said portions in proper relation to form the complete character affixing the film side thereof to the surface to be decorated, and removing the outer sheet from each of the portions.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
BENJAMIN WALKER.
