Spcification of Letters Patent:` Pa tOlltvtl Jlll. 1 7, 191 l. Application filed April 9, 1909.
T o all whom, it may concern:
Be ity known that I, CHARLES H. Bru. un', a British subject, and resident of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State ot Pennsylvania, have invented eertain new and useful .-rmprovements in Ornamental Tiles, et' which the following' is a full, clear, and exact description. y
This invention relates to the mamitacture of tiles in which thetaces thereof present a marbled er mo-ttled appearance as constituted by the production thereof ot separate portions or pieces ot plastic. material ot different colors combined in a particular manner and formed and solidified by moldinfr and compression.
Thetile such asabove r'et'erred to is preferably made with a back or body oi a low grade cement or other suitable plastic niaterial wh'ich is much cheaper than the niaterials which are combined to produce the va-rie'gated, marbled or mottled t'ace.
Another object is to embody in the tile thin strips of metal` the extremities ot which vprotrude beyond the edges of the tile and constitute means for the fastening of the same on a floor or wall: and in the provision of the sheet metal fastening strips they have a peculiar arrangement relatively to the length of the tile edges so that when the tiles are matched together the extremities of the strips ofnany given tile may underlie the next tile and be nou-coincident or ottside from the fasteningr strip of the adjacenttile.
The invention is rendered apparent in and by the following description in conjunction with the accompanyingdrawings` and is defined' in the claims.
In th drawings 1-Fignre l isa plan view of a tile lshowlng a, fase thereof such as might be produced under the exercise of this invention; Fig. 2 is a perspective View to indicate a manner of arranging the separate. differently colored plastic 'materials preparatory to amolding and compressing thereof to make thetile face; F ig. 3 is a sectionalview showing the tile face constituting plastics and the material for making' the tile back in a. press moldA preparatory to Fig. 4 is a simi- Fig. 5 is a sectional View the compression.

is a plan view showing two of tlte tri-les in 'matched relations and indicating' the relative. dispositions ot' the edgcwisc extendingP fastening members. to indicate the somewhat ditlerent' one of the many forms of variegated tile face which may be produced in accoldance with this invention.
I will nowdeseribe the mode of producing the tile in accordance with thi-s invention so that. the characteristic of the tile itself will be t'ully apparent.
ln the dra wings. Figs. 2 and 3, a a represent separate portions otl plastic material ot a given color, such, t'ork instance` as red; and /1 o represent: separate portions ot' plas tic material ot' another color, such. `for instance.vv as blue. .\s' indicated in the'ricws referred to, the materials u and are produced in the form ot' comparatively narrow strips as may practicably be'done by rolling out the colored ,cement into sheets and cutting the same into strips. The strips u and arel laid in criss cross arrangement and are superimposed upon (or may be overlaid by) plastic cement which may be ot' another color. such, for instance, as white. and ot' the ditt'erent. colors are placed in the bottom of an upwardly open press mold ily-the molding chamber which is square or ot' such other form corresponding to the tile to be }'n'oduced.and the layer r' lies over and upon the open-work mat ot plastic material constituted a and I);
lsually andv preferably` previous to the compression of the portions r1, l; and c of the differently colored plastic materials in the press mold. a suitable quantity of plastic material ot' low grade or cheaper quality is provided in the t'or the production of the tile body or back; and when the powerful pressure is exerted on the materials in the press mold by the plunger E, the materials d, c, and a become compressed, solidified and connected` the separated strips o transversely overlying the separated strips a' in the press mold are forced downto plane with the portions (L and more orless ot' the plastic. compound comprised in the. layer e is downwardly displaced into the interstiees between the edges of the strips (1,' and thus a' tile is produced having a solid face constituted baggthe vari- Fig. 7 isan illustration l The crossing vseparated strips Il.

it being understood thatthe jeetedfasbetore described cause a 'ia'ttening and plane facing of thc interspersed plastic portions a2 and b2 and a displacement in all, spaces between the portions dj and b2 of so much of the layer c2 as to make the face stratumof the tile solid and with its continu-y ous surfaced face a mottling or variegation of thev colors," for instance, rod, white and. blue, .of the portions a2, b2, and c2.' The plastic tile has one or more sheet metal strips g embedded within itsy bo'dy with their eX- atthe corner oredge thereof adjoining the back. As shown, these strips are arranged 1n pairs which cross each other, those of each lique to the edges of the tileso that as the extremity of each strip is regarded 'relatively to that of another strip at the same edge of the tile theone'extremity is nearer ,the one corner-.than is the extremity ofthe other ierceived on an'inspectionof ligffwhereother, the attaclm'ient means for one tile would be outro'f lline with the corresponding attachment means of the adjoining tile. The metallic strips g are lprovided of bowed forimasy represented -in Figs' and Leo as to be by the' greater portionof theirl length comparatively deeply embedded in the tile' back While their extremities emerge anld extend `outwardly from the tile body bout rear face thereof.- l
After the tiles have been mad'o and allowedv toharden, the extremities of the me-V i ta-llic strip areslightly bent from the-'posi- 'a continuousllat surface, and.' a backing `of position shown in Fig. 5, in which the outwardlyextending fastening members 'are ex-` Y actly, or approximately, coincident with the plane ol the rear face of the tile.
This invention is susceptible of a, Wilde.; latitude ot change as regardsA the formation and initiall arrangement of'fthe'sepailated portions of plastic materials Which constitiitje the faeingof the tile, the number'ofidiffe'reut colors ivhiehthe separateplast'ic'po tions may have, and theselection of colisi l.
