Year: 1864

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Daniel Bateman, of Low Moor, near Bradford, in the
County of York, Card Manufacturer, for the Invention of "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CARD CLOTH AND OTHER WATER AND OIL.
PROOF FABRICS."
Sealed the 8th November 1864, and dated the 13th May 1864.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Daniel Bateman at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
18th May 1864.
I, DANIEL BATEMAN, of Low Moor, near Bradford, in the County of: York,
Card Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CARD CLOTH AND OTHER WATER AND.
OIL PROOF FABRICS," to be as follows:-
This Invention consists of improvements in the manufacture of card.cloth
and other water and oil proof fabrics, by uniting two or more substances.
together, or by giving a coating to any cloth, leather, or other substance with a.
new kind of varnish or cement which will resist the action of oil or moisture,.
and unite two or more pieces of calico, linen, or woollen together, or separate or
united to leather, or any other pliable substance, either textile, or otherwise, to
obtain perfect uniformity, efficiency, and durability of manufacture for the
backs of cards for carding engines or any other water or oil proof material.
The mixture or varnish by which this object is to be attained is composed of
gutta percha, 55 parts; india-rubber, 10 parts; bisulphuret of carbon, 20 parts;

page_text: gum lac, 5 parts; bisulphide of mercury, 5 parts; carburet of iron, 5 parts; all
by weight. These being properly amalgamated together and applied in the
usual manner a great advantage and economy will accrue from card cloth
made from this cement over any other at present in use for the purpose.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed
by the said Daniel Bateman in the Great Seal Patent Office on the
12th November 1864.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, DANIEL

facturer, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Thirteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and sixty-four, in the twenty-seventh year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me,
the said Daniel Bateman, Her special licence that I, the said Daniel
Bateman, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the
said Daniel Bateman, my executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any
time agree with, and no others, from time to time, and at all times thereafter,
during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use,
exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland;
the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE MANUFACTURE OF CARD CLOTH AND OTHER WATER AND OIL PROOF FABRICS,'
upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the said Daniel Bateman, my
executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under my, or their, or
one of their bands and seals, should particularly describe and ascertain the
nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the, same was to be
performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office
within six calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said
Letters Patent.
"
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Daniel Bateman, do hereby declare
the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
My Invention relates to certain improvements in the manufacture of card
cloth and other water. and oil proof fabrics, and consists in uniting two or
more substances or fabrics together, or in giving a coating to any cloth,

page_text: leather, or other substance with a new kind of varnish or cement which will
resist the action of oil or moisture, and will unite two or more pieces of calico,
linen, or woollen together, or separate, and united to leather or any other
pliable substance, either textile or otherwise, so as to obtain perfect
uniformity, efficiency, and durability of manufacture for the backs of cards
for carding engines, or any other water or oil proof material. The mixture
or varnish by which this object is to be attained, is composed of gutta
percha, 55 parts; india-rubber, 10 parts; bisulphuret of carbon, 20 parts;
gum lac, 5 parts; bisulphide of mercury, 5 parts; carburet of iron, 5 parts;
all by weight. These ingredients being properly amalgamated together and
applied in the usual manner, a great advantage and economy will accrue
from card cloth made from this cement over any other at present in use for
the purpose.
Having now described the nature of my said Invention, and the manner in
which the same is to be performed, I would remark that I do not limit
myself to the exact proportions of ingredients I have stated as the same may
possibly be somewhat varied without in any way departing from the principle
of the Invention, but what I claim and desire to be secured to me by the
herein in part recited Letters Patent are the "Improvements in the Manu-
facture of Card Cloth and other Water and Oil Proof Fabrics," substantially
as I have herein specified the same.
In witness whereof, I, the said Daniel Bateman, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Fourth day of November, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-four.
Witness,
WILLIAM WRIGHT,
School Lane,
Wibsey.
