Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the transferring of biological images onto leather using the already established plates disclosed in U.S. patent 3,298,881. These plates provide an indented imprint of biological specimens; such as butterflies, seahorses,or plant life, and the application for this invention refers to any and all biological specimens encompassed by U.S. patent 3,298,881.
  • stain By applying stain to the transferred images on the leather, the intricate details of the specimens are enhanced, giving a 3-D view of the duplicated original biological specimen.
  • the present invention provides a flexible raised 3-D exact duplicate image of the specimen, allowing the viewer to not only see the raised transferred biological image on the leather, but, actually feel the replica of the specimen without the original specimen being present.
  • This new application allows one to view the transferred specimen anytime or anywhere he or she desires, as the image from the said plate may be transferred over and over again, supplying as many exact duplicates of the original specimen as needed from one single plate.
  • the ability to make duplicates of the desired specimen allows more than one viewer to examine the exact same specimen from different locations at the same time. This is accomplished by the first step of wetting a selected section of leather with water and placing the smooth side of the wetted leather over the indented imprints formed by the specimens from U.S. patent 3,298,881.
  • the present invention requires no heat, and only the use of one plate per design, per application in order to transfer the desired biological images.
  • the leather is then removed from the plate and allowed to dry, thus, setting the transferred image. Stain or dye is then applied to the leather which brings out the intricate details of the transferred image of the biological specimen.
  • this invention relates solely to the use of leather when transferring those designs as encompassed in U.S. patent 3,298,881, as afore described.
  • Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of the plate provided through U.S. patent 3,298,881, showing a sample of the indented biological specimen imprints;
  • Fig. 2 is a front view of the process of wetting a selected section of leather with water
  • Fig. 3 is a front elevational view of placing the wetted leather in Fig. 2 on a single plate as described in Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view of placing the leather and plate Fig. 3 into a press
  • Fig. 5 is a sectional view of Fig. 4 of compressing the leather onto the images on the plate;
  • Fig. 6 is a front elevational view showing the flexibility of the leather being removed from the plate Fig. 1 after releasing pressure from the press Fig. 3;
  • Fig. 7 is a front elevational view of the process of applying stain to the transferred images on the leather in Fig. 6 after it has dried;
  • Fig. 8 is a front elevational view of the embodiment shown in Fig. 7 which illustrates the intricate details and 3-D effect of the transferred images onto the leather after staining.
  • the present invention is the method of transferring biological images onto leather and solely employs the use of transfer plate Fig. 1 fabricated through a special process as discussed in U.S. patent 3,298,881.
  • This particular type of transfer plate is found to have both extensive economies of production and fidelity in the type of impression it may receive and transmit and was produced for the sole purpose of preserving the images of biological specimens for studying and viewing through the monochromatic, single dimensional flat form each biological imprint provided.
  • the wetted leather is then placed with the smooth side down over the indented images Fig. 3, formed by the plates from U.S. patent 3,298,881 as described in Fig. 1.
  • the leather and plated Fig. 3 are placed into a press Fig.
  • the raised image produced on the selected section of leather is of such extreme fineness, that a transverse motion of a blotting felt at a suitable pressure produces a coloring only in the finer details of the relief (e.g. veins of a butterfly wing) and thus the 3-D effect along with the intricacy of every detail in the specimen itself is achieved, Fig. 8.
