An Improved Manufacture of Stamped Ribbon and other Woven
Material.
(Communicated from abroad by HONORE VINSON, of Saint Etienne, Loire, France,
Ribbon Manufacturer.)
I, ERNEST RIDLEY DEBENHAM, of the Firm of Debenham and Freebody, of
Welbeck Street, London, W., Merchants, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
.
This invention is primarily intended for embossing with two kinds of embossing
narrow woven material such as is used for waistbands of ladies garments, but is
suitable for embossing other woven material.
In carrying out this invention I employ two rollers bearing upon each other.
On the surface of one of them called the printing roller, is or are one or more
engraved designs that may be desired to be transferred to the face of the ribbon;
the other roller is the presser roller and has a smooth face.
The printing roller formed for say two designs, has one countersunk so that a
portion of the face of the material is pressed into this the design consequently
standing out in relief, while the remainder of the design is engraved above the
face of the roller and is consequently pressed into the material, by this arrangement
the back of the material shows no concavities corresponding to the design on the
other side, the design having the appearance of being woven in.
It will be understood that the material is passed between the rollers, and that the
pressure of the presser roller is arranged as required.

page_text: invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention refers to stamping or embossing designs patterns, names or
addresses, for the like, upon narrow fabric such as belt ribbon, or the waist bands of
ladies garments, in such manner as to obtain a distinct and effective impression
upon one side only of such fabric to give the impression the appearance of being
woven in.
In order that the invention may be readily understood, I will describe the
same with reference to the accompanying diagram views Figures 1 to 4 inclusive.
In carrying out this invention I employ two rollers bearing on each other as
indicated in cross lines section at Figure 1, and in front elevation at Figure 2. One
of these rollers, A, which I'inay call the impression roller, is made of metal,
such as bronze, and is formed with designs engraved or in relief, or both together
upon the cylindrical surface which designs are such as are required to be transferred
to the face side of the fabric; the second, roller B, acts as a pressure roller, and has
a smooth cylindrical surface.
The shafts or stud axles A, B of the rollers are carried in suitable bearings
and ordinary mechanical means are provided whereby the rollers may be held
together with the required degree of pressure, and suitable means are also provided
whereby one of the rollers, say the roller A, may be given rotary motion and if
found necessary. the shafts of the two rollers may be geared together by itooth
pinion so that their contact surfaces shall travel at the same velocity.

The metal cylinder A, is made hollow and is constructed to be internally
heated by gas steam or the like. The mere mechanical details of construction for
maintaining 'pressure between the rollers, revolving and heating the metal roller,
are not shewn in the diagrams as any of the numerous well known ways may be
employed for these purposes.
, ין
The material C such as belting ribbon' upon which a design such as a name and
address is to be impressed is placed with the side to be impressed next to the bronze
cylinder A, and passes in between the two cylinders whereby a distinct and
effective impression is obtained upon one side only while the reverse side is left
smooth thereby giving the face of the material the appearance of having the design
woven in...
fu.
Figure 3; of the drawing shows a piece of belting Cwhereon à design has been
produced, and Figure 4 is a cross section on the line a, b, of Figure 3, the belting
being increased in thickness, in order to shew the impressed design upon one face
only (C Fig. 4) while the reverse side C² remains smooth as shewn, this effect being
produced by the engraved and relief surfaces D, upon the periphery of the
cylinder A, as shewn at Figs. 1 and 2.
r
The pressure cylinder B, may be formed of any suitable material, and in some
cases of compressed felt.
..
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inver-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
The manufacture of embossed or stamped ribbon or other fabric by passing same
between two rollers, one being of metal provided with means by which it may be
heated-and formed upon its external periphery with certain designs either engraved
or in relief or both while the second roll has a smooth surface and acts as a pressure
roller the fabric after passing between the two rollers having one side impressed with
the desired design, while the other, side remains smooth, substantially, as described.
