683,389. Repairing broken ceramic-ware and glass-ware. BOCK. W. June 9, 1950 [June 9, 19491, No. 15387/49. Class 128 [Also in Groups XXIII and XXV] Broken ceramic-ware and glass-ware are repaired by assembling the parts, e.g. parts 3 and 4 of a plate, forming channels 6 across the line of fracture 2, e.g. on the underside of the plate, placing cement in the channels and embedding at least one dowel pin 5 in each cement filling so that the parts are held firmly together when the cement sets. The parts may be cemented together before the channels are made. The pins 5 are preferably made from wire or rigid strip material. They may have irregular surfaces, e.g. they may be ribbed, grooved, serrated or helically twisted. The cement may be covered with paint or enamel.
