- or the like of cement and terial frequently: injuriously 'ing a colored cement relatively thin a pFnANz MUSIL EDLER of Austria-Hungary, 'residingat Linz-onthe-Danube, in' the-wEmpire of Austria- Hungary, have invented new and useful Improvements in Artificial-Stone Slabs, Plates, and the like; and I dohereby declare that .the following isa full, clear,and exact 'de-.

scription of theinvention, which will enable others skilled irrthe art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to the manufacture of slabs, plates and the like of artificial stone provided with a colored coating or layer. Such slabs, plates or the like of cement and sand or cement and fibrous substances are usually colored throughout the whole mass. They cannot, however, be coml'nercially manufactured in this way since the coloring ma terials are relatively expensive and the per-' meation of the slabsor plates throughout their whole thickness by the coloring maaffectstheir strength. By printing, applying or cementfound notto be possible to permanently set. cure the coating,

of the said-icoatmgiwith the mass was;

7 efiectedwhilelthe lattefwas not completely; hardened,fthe reason being that-the difierji ence in, the. condition "of tension between the 'd brittle colored-layer and the box or body of the slab'or plateand the climatic changes; to" which-such [plates 'he s i a w 11dqi y sm colored layer to cracli'or peel ofi-f;

' Now, this inventionhas- 'for. its' object to:

The body or base plate can also be colored with a cheaper coloring substance than'the er to present the same apearance as the latter. Furthermore, the ody, .base plateor the like can have substituted for the cement-apulverulent'body,

such for example, as] carbonate of lime, 1n order that the said base plate. and the coating shall have, as far as co-efiicients ofexpansion. s 1

It will be obvious that-the mass of'the. coating can have added to it filling ma terials, chemical admixtures or-osubstancesfor increasing or hardening properties or substances for 1 npossible, the same creasing the watertight and elastic. roperties of the plate without in any way a ecting the;
