Title: Improvements in and relating to Colouring Woollen and like Goods.
Inventor: BUCHER CARL
Filed: 1902-12-20
Granted: 1903-10-22
Abstract: 28,174. Bucher, C. Dec. 20. Dyeing.-Consists in a method of colouring fabrics made of animal fibres, such as wool, by a printing process, whereby the appearance of mixed or sprinkled fabrics, made from fancy or multicoloured yarns, is imparted to them. The desired indefinite patterns are first printed on the fabric, using caustic alkali, such as potash, soda, or ammonia, mixed with glycerine, and a thickener, such as gum or gurafin, that is a purified natural gum rendered soluble, made from so called insoluble natural gum, or traganton, that is Persian tragacanth. The fabrics, either wet or dry, are then placed in a fixing-bath, which may consist of a solution of a salt such as tin chloride, tin oxalate, aluminium acetate, or zinc sulphate, the mordant increasing the affinity of the fibre for the dye, and preventing any deleterious action on the part of the alkali, as well as facilitating its removal. The fabric is then washed in water and dyed, preferably using mordanted alizarine dyes or substantive diamine colours. The fixing-bath may, in certain cases, be used preparatory to or before printing with alkali, whilst the power of absorbing dye is further increased by precipitating a metallic hydroxide, such as tin hydroxide, on the spots imprinted with alkali. Special effects may be obtained by adding other dyes to the dye-bath which colour the unmordanted and mordanted parts uniformly.

Abstract: 10,048. Brooksbank, F. W., and Towle, A. May 2. Lace and lace - making. - Diamond - meshed grounds for Valenciennes and like laces are made in four or six motions instead of eight. The meshes shown in Fig. 2 are obtained by using two warps for each bobbin, dividing each set into halfsets A, C and B, D, and traversing each warp, first two gaits and one gait in one direction and then the same in the reverse direction. The warps A, C have the same movements as the warps B, D but are two motions ahead. The bobbin threads E, F do not twist with the warps, but pass, first between pairs of threads belonging to one set, then through the bends of the loops formed from the other set. The bobbin threads thus lock the overlapping loops of the two sets of warps together. The net shown in Fig. 4 having a bobbin thread to every warp, is obtained by a similar cycle. A six-motion net,resembling the last in appearance, is obtained by traversing the warps A, B one gait in opposite directions at each motion, excepting the fifth and sixth, in which they stand and move two gaits respectively. " Half-gauge " and " broken-gauge " nets are produced by pairing all, or a smaller number of the bobbins.
