Definitions
- the present invention relates to batik kits and is concerned primarily with the kit which includes a transfer sheet and a set of letter forms which enable a user to originate a design such as a name that is displayed in a unique manner, such as in simulation of a totem pole.
- Batiking as now practiced includes the essential steps of tracing a design of one shape on a piece of fabric. Individual pieces of wax of different colors are melted in separate receptacles and a color is applied to a particular area of the design by artist paint brushes. The piece of fabric is then ordinarily turned over and any areas which have not been penetrated by the wax are touched up either by the particular color for that area or by melted uncolored wax. A dye of a particular color for a desired background is disolved in water whereupon the fabric is crinkled and immersed in the disolved dye. The dye is then drained from the fabric whereupon the latter is washed and dried. The fabric is then flattened and pressed between sheets of paper towels. A dye set for fixing the color is then applied whereupon the fabric is mounted as desired.
- Batik kits which are now available to the public ordinarily include a set of designs which are to be transferred to the piece of fabric for tracing. Booklets are also provided as anelement separate from a batik kit which include a number of designs or figures which are intended to be traced onto the piece of fabric.
- batik kits and design booklets are noticeably lacking in any elements or means which en'- ables a user to originate a particular design or display which is to be batiked. It is believed that under many circumstances the user of a batik kit will be desirous of displaying his name or any other name, such as that of the recipient of a gift, on the fabric and in a particular arrangement such as in simulation of a totem pole. It is also believed that if a batik kit is provided which includes a set of forms of letters of the alphabet, a user will be led to originate designs other than names by using the form as elements of such design.
- batik kit which includes, in addition to the conventional and essential components which are now recognized as necessary in the practice of batiking, a transfer sheet and a set of forms of the letters of the alphabet.
- a transfer sheet in the form of a sheet of kraft paper which is readily adapted to have stenciled areas cut therefrom.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION At the present time the practice of batiking is becoming more and more widespread and is meeting with a high degree of public acceptance. Batiking as now practiced includes the essential steps of tracing a design of one shape on a piece of fabric. Individual pieces of wax of different colors are melted in separate receptacles and a color is applied to a particular area of the design by artist paint brushes. The piece of fabric is then ordinarily turned over and any areas which have not been penetrated by the wax are touched up either by the particular color for that area or by melted uncolored wax. A dye of a particular color for a desired background is disolved in water whereupon the fabric is crinkled and immersed in the disolved dye. The dye is then drained from the fabric whereupon the latter is washed and dried. The fabric is then flattened and pressed between sheets of paper towels. A dye set for fixing the color is then applied whereupon the fabric is mounted as desired.
Batik kits which are now available to the public ordinarily include a set of designs which are to be transferred to the piece of fabric for tracing. Booklets are also provided as anelement separate from a batik kit which include a number of designs or figures which are intended to be traced onto the piece of fabric. However, these known batik kits and design booklets are noticeably lacking in any elements or means which en'- ables a user to originate a particular design or display which is to be batiked. It is believed that under many circumstances the user of a batik kit will be desirous of displaying his name or any other name, such as that of the recipient of a gift, on the fabric and in a particular arrangement such as in simulation of a totem pole. It is also believed that if a batik kit is provided which includes a set of forms of letters of the alphabet, a user will be led to originate designs other than names by using the form as elements of such design.
OBJECTS OF THEINVENTION With the foregoing conditions in mind, the present invention has in view the following objectives:
1. To provide a batik kit which includes, in addition to the conventional and essential components which are now recognized as necessary in the practice of batiking, a transfer sheet and a set of forms of the letters of the alphabet.
2. To provide, in a batik kit of the type noted, instructions which will guide the user in use of the transfer sheet and letter forms in originating a name that is displayed in a particular way and for other designs derived from the letter forms.
3. To provide, in a batik kit of the character of the type aforesaid, a transfer sheet in the form of a sheet of kraft paper which is readily adapted to have stenciled areas cut therefrom.
Various other more detailed objects and advantages ing out the above ideas in a practical embodiment, will,
in part, become apparent and, in part, be hereafter stated as the description of the invention proceeds.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The foregoing objects are achieved by providing a batik kit comprising a casing in which is packed a piece of fabric of a desired size and shape, a piece of kraft paper which preferably corresponds in size and shape to the fabric, a plurality of bars of colored wax which are susceptible of being melted, a plurality of artist paint brushes, a bar of colorless wax which is meltable, a water soluble background dye of a desired color, a color fixer for the dye, a set of forms of the letters of the alphabet and instructions on how to use the kit.
For a full and more complete understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following description and the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective of a batik kit made in accordance with the precepts of this invention with portions of the casing broken away to permit of illustration of the contents thereof.
FIG. 2 is a plan detail showing how letter forms are positioned on the paper sheet so that their outlines may be traced thereon.
FIG. 3 is a detailed perspective depicting how the paper sheet is folded and stenciled areas cut therefrom.
FIG. 4 is another detailed perspective illustrating the paper sheet as unfolded and spaced above the piece of fabric.
FIG. 5 is a flow chart setting out the various steps involved in using the kit.
FIG. 6 is a perspective showing the first step of folding the paper sheet to make a'name design different from that disclosed in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4.
FIG. 7 is another perspective illustrating the next DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Before referring to the illustrations of the drawing, it is to be noted that certain instrumentalities required in the use of the subject batik kit are not disclosed as being packed in the casing because such devices are commonly available in any household or other place where the kit might be used. Among such devices the following are noted: a pencil, a pair of scissors, a source of heat for melting the wax, paper towels, and a pressing iron. Referring now to the drawing, and first more particularly to FIG. 1, a case is identified in its entirety by the reference character 10. This case may be of any shape found appropriate but the rectangular form illustrated may be taken as the preferred embodiment. Casing 10 includes bottom 11 from which upstand end walls 12 and side walls 13. Casing 10 will be closed by lid 14 after the contents thereof are packed thereinto. Spaced inwardly of the upper edges of end walls 12 and side walls 13 is a false bottom 15. Packed in the space below this false bottom 15 at one end is a so-called foundation sheet 16 which preferably is a fabric such as a soft cotton. While this fabric piece 16 may be of any desired size and shape, a rectangle is indicated as the preferred shape. Needless to say it is folded into a compact structure as illustrated in FIG. 1 to facilitate packing.
Also stowed in casing beneath false bottom is a sheet of transfer paper 17 which preferably is kraft paper. Sheet 17 is also depicted as folded into a compact shape and while it is not essential, it is preferably of the same size and shape as fabric sheet 16.
Above the area occupied by paper 17, false bottom 15 is cutaway or deformed to provide a recess 18 for receiving a plurality of bars of wax. Four of these bars which are designated 19 are colored with the color of each bar being different from the color of the other bars. The fifth bar which is designated 20 is uncolored. All of these bars are susceptible of being melted with the application of heat thereto.
False bottom 15 is also formed with a recess at 21 which receives a set of artist paint brushes 22.
Between recess 21 and the outer end wall 12, false bottom 15 is formed with a cutout which receives a heating pan 23. While details of the heating pan 23 are not an essential part of the subject invention, it is noted that it is of the so-called double boiler type. Thus it comprises a lower receptacle 24 which is intended to be placed over a suitable source of heat such as the top of a stove and a tray 25 which is positioned on the top of receptacle 24. Tray 25 is formed with an access opening 26 which permits water to be poured into receptacle 24 or removed therefrom. It is also formed with four top cup shaped elements 27 each of which receives wax from one of the colored bars 19.
At one side of heating pan 23 false bottom 15 is formed with a cutout 28 which accommodates a stack of letter forms 29. As the alphabet contains twenty-six letters, the stack of forms 29 will rest on bottom 11 and extend upwardly through cutout 28.
Preferred Mode of Usage Referring now to FIGS. 2, 3, 4 and 5, the preferred manner of using the above described kit is set forth as follows:
Method of Achieving Name Flake Design Referring now more particularly to FIGS. 6 to 11 inclusive, the method of forming a so-called name flake design will be described. The steps involved are a particular manner of folding paper sheet 17 which are interposed between the blocks 3l and 32 of FIG. 5. Thus paper sheet 17 is first folded in half to present the fold line 30 as shown in FIG. 6.
The sheet which now presents two plies is then folded in half to present an additional fold line as indicated at 45 in FIG. 7. Thus it then has four plies. This four-ply structure is then folded along the line 46 as it appears in FIG. 7 into the formation of FIG. 8 which will include eight plies terminating at point 47 with flaps 48 at the edge remote from point 47. This construction of FIG. 8 is then folded along the lines represented at 49 in FIG. 7 into the construction of FIG. 9 which comprises sixteen plies each of which includes a triangular shaped panel 50. Two of these panel 50 will be exposed and on one of them stencils derived from letter forms 29 are traced as shown in FIG. 10. This step corresponds to the step 32 of FIG. 5. It is important to note that the last letter will terminate at a point spaced from point 47. All of the panels 50 are then cut simultaneously by a pair of scissors in a manner generally cor responding to the cutting depicted in FIG. 3b The same steps represented by blocks 34 to 44 inclusive of FIG. 5 are then conducted. This results in a final design on the fabric which simulates a flake and in view of the fact that this flake comprises separate spokes 51 which radiate from a center as determined by the uncut area adjacent to point 47 which is represented at 52 and each of which is a name displayed as a totem pole this design is designated name flake.
It is important to note that kit also contains instruction booklet 52 which is based on the steps outlined in FIG. 5.
It is also important to note that designs other than names may be generated from the letter forms. Thus signs of the Zodiac may be derived therefrom as well as an infinite number of other designs.
While a preferred specific embodiment is herein disclosed, it is to be clearly understood that the invention is not to be limited to the exact construction, devices and steps illustrated and described because various modifications of these details may be provided in putting the invention into practice.
