Scroll

Abstract

A religious artifact including at least one scroll hand-written on kosher parchment in Hebrew, using flexible water-resistant kosher black ink. Such ink, when dry, does not dissolve in water and does not crack or peel off the surface, yet, when a mistake needs to be corrected, such ink can be scraped off the surface of the parchment without leaving a visible ink residue on the surface and without causing substantial damage to the parchment. The present invention provides for kosher scrolls which are less prone to and more resistant to becoming non-kosher, than scrolls of the prior art.

1 . A religious artifact including at least one scroll, said scroll including kosher parchment and Hebrew religious text written with kosher black ink on at least one surface of said parchment, wherein said ink:
 a) is water resistant;   b) is not tacky; and   c) can be scraped off and removed from said surface without leaving a visible ink residue on said surface and without causing substantial damage to said parchment.   
     
     
         2 . The invention of  claim 1  wherein said ink includes binding material and black pigment material. 
     
     
         3 . The invention of  claim 2  wherein said binding material includes polymeric material or adhesive material or a mixture of polymeric material and adhesive material. 
     
     
         4 . The invention of  claim 3  wherein said binding material includes an acrylic polymer. 
     
     
         5 . The invention of  claim 2  wherein said binding material includes one or more of the following materials:
 a) vinyl polymer;   b) epoxy adhesive;   c) polyurethane polymer;   d) polycarbonate-urethane polymer;   e) polyether-urethane polymer;   f) polyester-urethane polymer;   g) acrylic-polyurethane copolymer;   h) ethylene vinyl acetate adhesive;   i) vinyl acetate adhesive; and   j) rubber.   
     
     
         6 . The invention of  claim 2  wherein said black pigment material includes carbon black. 
     
     
         7 . The invention of  claim 1  wherein said surface is pre-painted with a primer prior to the writing of said text on said surface. 
     
     
         8 . The invention of  claim 1  wherein said parchment is pre-treated with a water repellent prior to the writing of said text on said surface. 
     
     
         9 . The invention of  claim 1  wherein said ink is flexible. 
     
     
         10 . The invention of  claim 1  wherein said religious artifact includes a housing and said scroll is included within said housing. 
     
     
         11 . A religious artifact including at least one scroll, said scroll including kosher parchment and Hebrew religious text written with kosher black ink on at least one surface of said parchment, wherein said ink:
 a) is flexible;   b) is not tacky; and   c) can be scraped off and removed from said surface without leaving a visible ink residue on said surface and without causing substantial damage to said parchment.   
     
     
         12 . The invention of  claim 11  wherein said ink includes binding material and black pigment material. 
     
     
         13 . The invention of  claim 12  wherein said binding material includes an acrylic polymer. 
     
     
         14 . The invention of  claim 12  wherein said binding material includes one or more of the following materials:
 a) vinyl polymer;   b) epoxy adhesive;   c) polyurethane polymer;   d) polycarbonate-urethane polymer;   e) polyether-urethane polymer;   f) polyester-urethane polymer;   g) acrylic-polyurethane copolymer;   h) ethylene vinyl acetate adhesive;   i) vinyl acetate adhesive; and   j) rubber.   
     
     
         15 . The invention of  claim 12  wherein said black pigment material includes carbon black. 
     
     
         16 . A religious artifact including at least one scroll, said scroll including kosher parchment and Hebrew religious text written with kosher black ink on at least one surface of said parchment, wherein said ink:
 a) is water resistant;   b) is flexible;   c) includes binding material;   d) is not tacky; and   e) can be scraped off and removed from said surface without leaving a visible ink residue on said surface and without causing substantial damage to said parchment.   
     
     
         17 . The invention of  claim 16  wherein said binding material includes one or more of the following materials:
 a) vinyl polymer;   b) epoxy adhesive;   c) polyurethane polymer;   d) polycarbonate-urethane polymer;   e) polyether-urethane polymer;   f) polyester-urethane polymer;   g) acrylic-polyurethane copolymer;   h) ethylene vinyl acetate adhesive;   i) vinyl acetate adhesive; and   j) rubber.   
     
     
         18 . The invention of  claim 17  wherein said surface is pre-painted with a primer prior to the writing of said text on said surface. 
     
     
         19 . The invention of  claim 17  wherein said parchment is pre-treated with a water repellent prior to the writing of said text on said surface.
