METHOD FOR PRODUCII TG PICTURES UPON FABRICS.

Patented Dec. 13, 1910.

Application filed March 10, 1910. Serial No. 548,370.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN SPIEGEL, a citizen of theUnited States,. and a resident of New York, borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have in vented certain new and useful Improve-l ments in 'Methods for Producing Pictures U on Fabrics, of which the following is a i tain other novel featuresas hereinafter de-" scribed and more particularly pointed out in 85 used for stencilin fabric, and Fig. 4 i lustrates a cut-out of the Y fu I, clear, and exact description. 10

This invention relates to the roducti'on in multi-colors of ictures, fanci 111 designs, insignia and the li e upon fabric or similar material.

Theprimary object of my invention is to provide simple and inexpensive means adapted to produce effectively in one or rmore-jcolors portraits of persons and pictures of various kinds, such as animals, scenery, emblems, coatof arms, flags, etc., upon cloth, felt, other fabrics or any referred material and which may. be used or-ornamental, decorative and useful urposes in houses, lodge rooms, stores, pubic balls or other like places. 7

My invention further provides eflicient means-adapted to readily and chea ly reproduce upon fabric or any desire material, pictures, portraits, flowers, designs, etc.,

in true, original colors, form and artistic detail in the same size, or on an enlarged, or

reduced scale.

The invention furthermore consists'of certhe claims at the end of the description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings forming a plat of this specification.

In the dra ing, Figure 1 is an illustration of a pattern-plate or sheet of desired material with the picture drawn thereon and 'which, is to be reproduced upon a piece of fabric. Fig. Qis a view of the pattern-plate or sheet having the outlines of said picture perforated by aperforating apparatus. Fig. 3 shows an impression-plate or metal screen the picture upon the finished rictureupon the fabric or any suitable material.

In the means emplo ed for carrying out my invention I provl e a attern-plate or sheet 10 of pa er, cardboar or any suitable material on w ich-is drawn a picture in outline, as at 11', by'preferably eri and ink and which is to be produced onelt, cloth or the like. The pictured 1 may be: an eagle, as

shown, or any ori "nal drawing or reproduction, of a fancifu or decorative nature, such as flags, emblems, coat of arms, etc. One or a number of matrices or stenciling sheets or plates 12 are made with the picture 11 reproduced m perforations therein, as at 13, indicated by dotted lines in Fig.2, by providing one or more sheets of paper or suitable material and formed into layers under the pattern-plate or sheet -10, and then perforatmg the mes of the picture or design 11 by any convenient perforatingjmeans or apparatus. Obviously one or any desired number of the matrices or stenciling sheets 12 may be made at once so that a number of operators maybe employed at the same time in stenciling the picture 11 for producing one or a number of impression plates, as at 14, Fig; 3. To provide the impression plate 14 a s set of metal cloth, as at 15, or screenwoven material of any suitable kind ma be employed, and upon one surface of w ich the picture 11 is transferred or impressedthrough the perforations 13 of the matrix 12 by the use of stenciling, brushes or other suitable appliances. Thebody of the impression p ate 14 surrounding the confi ration of the picture 11 is covered wlth a heavy layer or coating of paint or other impervious material as indicated at 16, to re.-

vent the colors in the operation of stenci ing from passing through the body of the impression plate 14, and serving to permitclear and distinct 1m ressions to be made of,

the configuration o the picturell. The

perforations 13 of the body of the picture 11. which set forth the details of the subject of the picture, for instance, the wings, head,

producing a combination of effects upon said ground colors of complementary tints may be stenciled-in like manner through the interstices 17 of the impression plate. After removal of the impression plate 14, indistinct parts or spots of the picture, are

touched-up by hand, and other color-efiectsa such as the eyes, mouthand otherpaifts of' an animal, which are not specifically sho'wr'r upon the matrix may then be readily and quickly painted by hand so. as tov give the subject of the picture a realistic aspect and finish. When animals, birds, or the like are finished upon the fabric the picture may be cut-out as indicated at 18 in Fig. 4, thereby providing very attractive. and efi'ectiv'e forms'for certain uses and purposes.

, It is clear, thatch'anges maybe made in I the form of the-design or the various parts ters Patent:

1 Method of producing a matrix :tor

transferring pictures upon fabrics which consists in making a pattern-plate of card-' board, having a picture drawn thereon in outline, perforating the outlines of said picture to form stencillng' matrlces and stenciling said drawing upon an impression plate by meansof said matrices 'andcoating the body of the impression plate surrounding the'configuration of the drawing with impervious material g 2. Method of j producing a matrix for transferring pictures upon fabrics which consists in drawin a picture upon suitable material, perforating the outline of said .,,1. '.'L- pictupe, to form a stenclhng matrix, and

,that colors will pass only through said infabrics consisting in making a drawing in fabrics which consists in making a pen and step-oiling the picture upon a metal plate having interstices therein by the use of said stenciling matrix,,and coating the body of said metalplate surrounding the c0nfigura tion of the picture with a layer of paint, so

terstices in stenciling the picturev upon "fabric by the use of. said metal plate.

3. Method of producing pictures upon outline upon a suitable material-,-perforatmg said drawing for making a stencilin matrix, stenciling' the pictures upon a screen-woven stenciling plate, covering the body of said stenciling plate surrounding the configuration. of the drawing with a layer of impervious material and finally stencilingf the drawingupon a fabricby; suitable means. i

4. Method. of producin pictures upon ink draWing'upOn a pattern-plate 'perforatr ing the outlines of said drawing toform 'stenciling sheets, stenciling the drawing upon a metal screening, coating the face of "I f a said metal screening beyond the outlines of the picture with paint, and finally impress- I .j

ing the picture through said metal screening upon a piece of fabric in multicolors by J means of stenciling brushes.
