I, SAINT JOHN VINCENT DAY of 115 St. Vincent Street, Glasgow, in the County
of Lanark, North Britain, Civil Engineer and Patent Agent do hereby declare the
nature of the said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN "PACKS" OR BAGS FOR
"
८८
HOLDING AND CONVEYING WOOL to be as follows:-
"
This Invention, which relates to improvements in the construction of "packs"
or bags for holding and conveying wool, consists in preventing the cut edges of the
cloth at the seams or joints from coming into contact with the greasy wool when
placed in "packs" or bags; as hitherto these cut surfaces have been productive of
injury to the said wool by imparting loose fibres of the jute of which the cloth
composing the said "packs".or bags is formed.
"
The Invention consists in turning the said cut edges to the exterior of the
pack" or bag either hemmed or not hemmed, or when hemmed the raw edges so
dealt with may be turned to the interior of the "pack," the hemming preventing
the loose shreds or fibres from separating themselves from the raw edges of the Jute
fabrics. The cloth is seamed at a short distance inwards from the hemmed edges
which may also be sewn closely down to the exterior or interior of the "pack
bag, or the edges whether hemined or not may be doubled in one over the other so
as to enclose the raw edges either at the exterior or at the interior of the "pack'
or bag. The sewing of the joints or seams is preferably what is known as
"overhead" sewing, effected by an overhead sewing machine or by hand, although
other forms of sewing may be used.
or
""
These improvements are applicable to "packs" or bags made of plain or twilled
cloth as well as to "packs" or bags made of cloth or of yarns so treated as to
produce "packs" or bags with hairless interiors as set forth in the Provisional
Specifications filed by me the said Saint John Vincent Day on the twelfth day of
April A.D. 1884 and respectively numbered 6,303 and 6,307.
Dated this twenty ninth day of April 1884.

of Lanark, North Britain, Civil Engineer and Patent Agent do hereby declare the
nature of the said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN "PACKS " OR BAGS FOR
HOLDING AND CONVEYING WOOL," and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
This invention which relates to improvements in "Packs" or Bags for holding and
conveying wool, consists in preventing the cut edges of the cloth, at the seams or
joints, from coming into contact with the greasy wool when placed in "packs" or
bags, as hitherto these cut surfaces have been productive of injury to the said wool,
by imparting loose fibres of the jute of which the cloth composing the said "Packs
or bags, is formed.
The invention consists as represented on the accompanying drawings, in turning
the said cut edges a, after being hemmed, to the exterior of the "Pack" or Bag, as
shewn more particularly at Figure 1.-Or the raw edges a, after being hemmed may
be turned to the interior of the Pack, as at Figure 2, the hemming in either case
preventing the loose threads or fibres, from separating themselves from the raw
edges of the fabrics.-The cloth is seamed at b, at a short distance inwards from the
hemmed edges which may also be sewn closely down to the exterior, (as represented
at Figure 3) or to the interior (as represented at Figure 4) of the "Pack" or Bag ;-
or the edges may be doubled in, one over the other, so as to enclose the raw edges,
either at the exterior (as shewn at Figure 5) or at the interior (as shewn at
Figure 6) of the " Pack or Bag The sewing of the joints or seams is preferably
what is known as "overhead" sewing, effected by an overhead sewing machine or
by hand, although other forms of sewing may be used.
These improvements are applicable to "Packs" or Bags, made of plain or twilled
cloth. without being treated for rendering them "bairless" as well as to "Packs" or
Bags made of cloth or of yarns so treated as to produce "Packs or Bags with
"hairless" interiors.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is.
Making "packs" or bags for holding and conveying wool with the cut or raw
edges of the cloth so enclosed by other portions of the cloth that loose threads or
fibres are prevented from separating themselves from the said edges, substantially
as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth and shewn in the several figures of
the accompanying drawings.
