DECORATING-TOOL.

,1 Application fi1ed1)ecember 9,1918. 7 Serial Nazca-84s.:

' To all whom it may conccrn:

Be it knownithat I, J O HN MOSOINI, a citizen of the United States,--residing at New York, in the county' and State of- New York, have invented certain new and useful 1m? provements in Decorating-Tools, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

This invention relates to-decorating tools, such for instance, as are'used in the -book'- Y bindery industry, and has for its object'to provide a tool equipped with the necessary requirements which will enableoperators to constantly work at decorating'book-covers or the like, and avoid the frequent changing of tools'as is now the practice inth'e aforesaid industry.

Another object of myinvention is-to effect a great saving of gold'orgold paper, the principal material used for the decorating of book covers. I

-'With the above and other objects in view, the nature of which will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combina tion and arrangement of parts as herein fully described, illustrated and claimed.

In the -accompanying drawings, forming part of the application, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in theseveral views-z- Q V Figure 1, is an elevation of a decorating tool now in use embodying the first essential equipments formy invention. 4

tool equipped: with my invention, and as When ready for use. I

Fig. 11, represents a book decorated with any'desirable design.

' Referring to the drawings12, is the decorating die employed, the periphery of which is engraved as-shown at 13, in Fig. 8, but any other desirable design may be engraved thereon. Said die is drilled centrally'at 14, to receive or permit a suitable bolt or shaft 15, to pass through same and into and through'the metallic end 16, of thedecorating tool shown in Fig. 1,-oneend of said bolt being threaded to receive a thumb screw 17, for the purpose of adjustment, the other end of said bolt being headed as at 18, to retain' sameinposition; It'will also be noted that the metallic end of said tool 16, is secured in'axwlooden handle 19, and in any well known manner. r p I.

Having thus describedthe decorating tool now in use, 'I will now describe the several parts of my invention, and their relationto the decorating tool just described or in connectionztherewith. 1 l 7 Referring to Fig. 1, pins 20, are set at or near. the edges of the periphery of 16, the outside pin being set somewhat in advance of the inner set pin, as shown in Figs. 2 andlO; part 16, is then drilled as shown at 21- to'receive the supporting end of rod 24, at 22,0f my improvement, which end passes through a bore 21, and which allows the horizontal portion 23, of the supporting rod 24,'to 'lie iand rest securely between pins 20. At the right hand end of the supporting rod 24, there occurs an upward'bend25, this bend being made at a suitable angle upward and somewhat inwardly as shown in Fig. 7, to bring the-spool 26, containing the gold paper 33 above referred to in proper alinement to feed said gold paper to the die as "shown in Fig. 10;a't27. The end ruon 6f the part 25 is bent outwardly as shown in Fig. 7 at 28, this bend 28, being if so desired extended to a suflicient length for mounting other spools containing different colored papers thereon. A guide 29, is also placed on the supporting rod 24. This guide may be adjusted to any desired position to insure the proper feeding of'the said gold paper to the die, by placing same as desired and then tightening up screw 30. Spool 26 will be retained in a proper position on the bent portion 28, by setting the sliding collar 34,21} to spool 25, and tightening screw 31..

In operation the downwardly bent portion of 22, the supporting rod 24:, is inserted in the bore 21, of the metal part 16 of the tool, and when properly seated, which seating is accomplished by pressing downwardly on the offset thumb loop 32 of said supporting rod, and same v.will then lie snug between pins 20 as shown in Fig. 2. The guide 29, is then adjusted and the gold paper 33, is passed as shown by dotted line 27, to and through said guide and to and under the die. Said die will be heated in any well known manner, not shown, and when said die is sufiiciently heated and rolled over the corners, back, or back edge of a book, said book will be decorated as shown in Fig. 11. It will of course he understood that the gold paper will always pass between the said die and the book to be decorated, and when said die is being rolled over said paper, it at the same time draws said paper from the said spool as required, and only so much of said paper as will be required for the distance the decoration may be required will be used Said rolling and said decorating is accomplished by the operator resting the outer end of handle 19, upon his shoulder and pressing downwardly with one hand on said handle to give the desired pressure on said heated die, and holding a book firmly with his other hand.

It will therefore be seen that in providing the aforesaid decorating tool, with a continuous supply of gold paper I enable the operator thereof to continuously operate the aforesaid tool and that I eifect as well a great saving of gold paper, because in the system heretofore used a piece of gold paper had to be cut to a certain size or length and one or more pieces cut at a time, which resulted in a great waste, whereas the paper required and only as much as is actually requ'ired is used by my attachment resulting in practically no loss whatsoever. Moreover, as the die may be heated by any well known methods, for instance, gas or electricity, not shown, the time heretofore consumed in heating a decorating tool by stove heat, and the time lost in the exchanging of cold for hot tools, are reduced to a minimum.

The aforesaid decorating tool equipped with my improvement as specified above has been more particularly specified for books,

' but. it is apparent that the uses of said tool and the improvements I have made thereon and thereto, may be used advantageously in other fields of industry, and I, therefore, do not desire to be confined to any one field of usefulness.

And having thus decribed my invention what I claim is newand desire to obtain Letters Patent of the United States is 1. The combination with a decorating tool of the character described having a recess, of a supporting rod having one end removably fitted in said recess, a spool for colored paper rotatably mounted on the other end of the rod, and the intermediate portion of said rod having an offset thumb portion extending beyond the side of the tool.

2. The combination with a decorating tool of the character described having a recess, of

a supporting rod having one end removably fitted in said recess, a spool for colored paper rotatably mounted on the other end of the rod, and spaced pins on the tool to engage opposite sides of the intermediate portionof the rod for retaining the same in position on the tool.

8. The combination with a decorating tool of the character described, having in connection therewith a supporting rod, means for holding said supporting rod in a predetermined position, a spool for gold paper,

mounted on the extreme end thereof, and an adjustable guide for conducting said paper to a die as specified.

4. The combination of a decorating tool of the character described, having in connection therewith a supporting rod mounted thereon, means for holding said supporting rod in a predetermined, position, and a guide adjustably mounted on said rod, said supporting rod-being bent as required for centralizing same in its several positions to support a spool of gold paper for the purpose specifiec.

In testimony whereof -I have signed my name to this specification.

JOHN MOSOINI.
