PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Waterproof Garments and in
Apparatus employed therein.
I, ISIDOR FRANKENBURG, of 88 Greengate, Salford, in the County of Lancaster,
India Rubber Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
My invention relates to that part of the manufacture of waterproof garments
where the different portions to form a garment are coated with the india rubber
solution and cemented together, and the object of my invention is to economise
time in these processes and also to remove the smell of the solution from the
garments.
At the present time the above operations are carried out on ordinary tables or
benches, but according to my invention I propose to employ a steam pipe flat on
the top, trough or chest level with the table top on which the operative works;
the operative while spreading the solution lays the edge of the fabric to be coated
over the steam pipe and when coated this portion of the garment may be pushed
n front or hung up behind the operative the next piece is coated as described and
when this has been done the first piece may be ready to be re-coated previous to
emming the second piece is similarly treated and then the hemmed portions are
eady to be again coated previous to cementing together and rolling to complete
he joining of that part of the garment.
In some cases the hemming is not necessary but during all the operations of
oating and cementing which are carried out on my improved tables the heat tends
o drive away the smell of the naphtha vapour from the india rubber solution and
he garment is rendered less odourous.
In some cases I propose to place waterproof garments in a room connected to a
n or air propeller and provided with openings to the atmosphere near the bottom,
e air being drawn or forced through this room removes the smell from the
arments.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Waterproof Garments and in

I, ISIDOR FRANKENBURG, of 88 Greengate, Salford, in the County of Lancaster,
India Rubber Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to that part of the manufacture of waterproof garments
where the different portions to form a garment are coated with the india rubber
solution and cemented together, and the object of my invention is to economise
time in these processes and also to remove the smell of the solution from the
garmen's.
At the present time the above operations are carried out on ordinary tables or

the top, trough or chest level with the table top on which the operative works;
the operative while spreading the solution lays the edge of the fabric to be coated

in front or hung up behind the operative the next piece is coated as described and
when this has been done the first piece may be ready to be re-coated previous to
hemning the second piece is similarly treated and then the hemmed portions are
ready to be again coated previous to cementing together and rolling to complete
the joining of that part of the garment.
In some cases the hemming is not necessary but during all the operations of
coating and cementing which are carried out on my improved tables the heat which
may be obtained by steam, hot water or gas tends to drive away the smell of the
naphtha vapour from the india rubber solution and the garment is rendered less
odourous.
In some cases I propose to place waterproof garments in a room connected to a
fan or air propeller and provided with openings to the atmosphere near the bottom,
the air being drawn or forced through this room removes the smell from the
garments.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is
The use and application of a steam pipe trough or chest flat on the top supplied
with steam or its equivalent heating medium fitted in and level with the surface of
a table for the use of operatives engaged in coating and cementing waterproof
garments as and for the purposes described.
