SLATE.
No. 438,725. Patented Aug. 5, 1890.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE,
THOMAS K. EW ING, OF MILIVAUKEE, IVISOONSIN.
SLATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 33,725, dated August 5, 1890. Application filed November 22, 1889. Serial No. 331,152. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS K. EWING, of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of \Visconsin, have invented a new and useful Device for Teaching the Art of riting or Drawing; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.
In teaching very young children the art of writing or drawing it is found to be necessary to educate the hand to make the required movements with facility, correctness, and rapidity; and my invention relates to a device especially adapted for use in kindergarten schools for educating-the hand to construct the letters or designs that are exposed to view and which it is desired the child shall copy.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is aslate embodying one form of my improved device. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a book in which my device is embodied. Figs. 4 and 5 embody my device in modified design.
My improved device consists of a plate or slate A constructed of stone, metal, silica, papierqnach, or some similar substance in the form of a slate, plate, or leaf, on which is printed or painted the letters, figures, characters, or designs which it is desired to have the child copy. These letters, figures, designs, or characters are preferably printedorpainted on the surface of the plate or slate, as seen at B in Figs. 1, 3, and 4, and in connection therewith, and preferably immediately below the printed copy, is a duplicate thereof, as
seen at G in Figs. 1, 3, and 5, which duplicate is formed in the slate or plate by being cut or stamped into the slate or plate in intaglio. The printed characters seen at B are preferably of another color than the color of the slate or plate, being commonly in white when the slate is in a dark color or black, and the intaglio characters have the same color as the slate or plate, so that their lines and parts are not especially, noticeable to the eye. It will be understood that by this form of construccharacters by inserting the pen or pencil in the intaglio character and following its grooves or depressions in the proper direction, it being only necessary to instruct the child arbitrarily where to begin and in what direction to carry the pen or pencil to the completion of the character.
In the device shown in Fig. 1 the plate is inserted and secured in a frame D. In the device shown in Fig. 3 the plates A are bound in a book, with leaves E E inserted between them, the two plates A A being preferably located next to the cover F and being turned re'versely toward each other, so that by swinging the book around and opening the book to the plate and the intermediate leaves E E the plate will be at the left hand and the leaves at the right hand, and in both instances the plate will be right side up. The leaves E E are perforated in a line G near their inner edge, so as to be adapted to be torn from the book after being covered with characters. In the device shown in Figs. 4. and 5the printed copy is on the independent plate A (shown in Fig. 4,) while the intaglio duplicate is on the independent plate A. (Shown in Fig. 5.) In each of these devices a portion H of the plate or slate is left blank for the child to practice the making of the characters on a smooth surface without the aid of the intaglio duplicates, and in the device shown in Fig. 3 the blank leaves E E are also intended and adapted for the purpose of forming the characters thereon.
WVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. As an article of manufacture, a slate havingletters, figures, characters, or other designs printed or painted thereon, and the same lotters, figures, characters, or designs in duplicate form in intaglio therein below the printed or painted letters, figures, characters, or designs, substantially as described.
2. As an article of manufacture, a slate hav ing letters, figures, characters, or other designs printed or painted thereon, and the same letand as appear therein in intaglio, substanxo ters, figures, characters, or designs in duplitially as described.
cate form in intagl io therein below the printed In testimony whereof I alfix my signature in or painted letters, figures, characters, or depresence of two witnesses.
signs, and a blank space 011 the slate below the letters, figures, characters, or designs in THOMAS K. EYVING. intaglio, which blank space is adapted for \Vitnesses:
copying thereon the same letters, figures, C. T. BENEDICT,
characters, or designs as are printed thereon ANNA FAUST.
