401,035. Blotting-appliances. WENBAN, G. H., 74, New Oxford Street, London. June 10, 1932, No. 16457. Drawings to Specification. [Class 146 (iii).] A roller blotter is formed of circular discs of blotting-paper cemented together and compressed longitudinally. The roller may have a central hole bored longitudinally therethrough for the reception of a spindle, or a few of the end discs only may be so bored to receive projections from a pair of end flanges or a frame, on which the roller may revolve. The blotting discs may be arranged alternately with smaller discs, and the discs may undergo a buffing process, when the edges of the blotting discs are split and burred over to fill the intervening spaces. The discs may be formed with concentric circles of perforations, equidistantly spaced, enabling the saturated surface to be removed, and by the use of different coloured discs various designs may be introduced.
1.) A roller blotter in which the roller is made of circular discs of blotting paper cemented together and compressed together longitudinally as described.
2.) A roller blotter as in claim 1. with a few discs at each end centrally bored to allow the insertion of projections from a holder or from flanges on a holder, on which the roller may revolve.
3.) A roller blotter as in claims 1 and 2 with concentric circles of perforations in the discs equidistantly spaced, enabling the saturated surface to be removed.
4.) A roller blotter as in claims 1, 2 and 3 in which discs of smaller diameter are inserted alternately with larger ones so that during a subsequent buffing process, the edges of the latter discs are split, burred over, and fill the space caused by the intervening discs, still further increasing the absorbent qualities.
5.) A roller blotter as in claims 1 to 4 in which by the use of different coloured discs in its construction various designs and patterns may be introduced.
6.) Improved form of roller blotter substantially as described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

PATENT SPECIFICATION
I, GEORGE HENRY WENBAN, of 74, New Oxford Street, London, W.C. 1, Subject of the King of Great Britain, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:My invention relates to ink blotters.
My invention has for its object to provide an improved device 'of the type above indicated.
jo My invention consists of a blotter shaped as a roller or segment, consisting of a number of centrally perforated discs of blotting paper or other absorbent material compressed together longitudinally by flanges held in position and at correct pressure by small washers which again are held by the heads of screws which are fixed in the ends of the central spindle, which runs through the perforation of the disc. The small washers also act as bearings in the handle frame, on which the roller rotates when in use.
By the introduction of different coloured discs, various designs and patterns can be produced, embodying national, regimental, club and school 1019,035 colours and the like.
The cut discs are first assembled on the spindle and compressed, then the surface of the roller is treated by a series of buffing processes until finally a velvet like surface, i.e. with a pile, is obtained. This has the effect of increasing the powers of capillary attraction of the blotter, thereby improving its absorbent properties.
Alternatively an adhesive placed near central perforation prior to assembling and bringing under pressure is used to produce 'a solid roller of blotting paper or other absorbent material from which the spindle rod and all other metal parts maybe removed thereby forming a.completely absorbent roller which may be used as a refill to existing blotter frame yet the gumming being central and not extending diametrically outwards through the roller the absorbent properties of the roller are not detrimentally affected.
Modifications may be made in the examples of my invention abov'e described.

Improvements in and relating to Ink Biotters.
I, GEORGE HENRY WENBAN, of 74, New Oxford Street, London, W.C. 2, Subject of the King of Great Britain, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in 'and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to ink blotters.
My invention has for its object to provide an improved type of blotter of simple construction and capable of being manufactured at a low cost.
I am aware that it has already been proposed to form a blotting roller by arranging a series of blotting paper rings standing on edge on the circumference of a tube shaped roll and maintained in position by spring pressed end flanges.
My invention consists of an improved [Price If- 1 Jo(;,...
blotter shaped as a roller and consisting of discs of blotting paper cemented together and compressed longitudinally.
Referring now to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1. Shows one modification of my improved roller showing the discs 1, which may or may not have ia small hole bored through the centre, cemented together and compressed longitudinally.
Figure 2. Shows a second modification, in the form of a roller consisting of unbored discs 1, with a few centrally bored discs 2 at the ends, and fitted with end flanges with a projection, such a flange 3, being as indicated, detached from the roller.
Figure 3. Represents 'an end view..

discs of blotting paper. These are secured together by adhesive and are then compressed together loungitqdinially to form a roller. The adhesive being placed i centrally and not extending diametrically outwards through the roller, the absorbent qualities are not detrimentally affected. These discs may have a small hole bored through the centre to permit a loose spindle to be inserted.
According to another form of my invention, unbored discs may be mainly used as indicated in Figure 2, having at each end a few centrally bored discs 2, forming a hole of sufficient depth into wrhich a projection from la frame may be inserted, or again, an outer flange 3, having a projection to fit this hole may be used at each end of the roller, in which case projections from the frame enter into these and the roller revolves thereupon.
The discs prior to assembly may be minutely perforated, as in figure 3 in circularly arranged rows equidistant from each, other. This enables the saturated portion to be torn off and a clean surface xposed for use.
The discs are first assembled and com-pressed, then the surface is treated by a series of buffing processes such as treat- ment with sandpaper when turning in a lathe or the like, until finally a velvet like surface i.e. with a pile,, is obtained This has the effect of increasing the powers of 3r eapillary attraction of the blotter, thereby further improving its absorbent qualities.
In these forms of construction, discs of smaller- diameter may be interposed alternately with those which form the blotter surface. These small discs may be of other materials than blotting paper. Durilng the buffing process above described, The edge of the larger-or surface formAng-discs splits and is burred over, filling the intervening space caused by the smaller discs between them. This proces still further increases the capillary attraction, and absorbent qualities.
By the use of different coloured discs in the construction of rollers various designs and patterns may be produced. Modifications mav be made in the examples of my invention above described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
