I JAMES ALFRED TURNER of Nutsford Vale, West Gorton, Manchester, in the
County of Lancaster, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows :---
The object of this invention is to produce a packing material which shall be
waterproof, strong untearable, economical and light, and shall not be liable to
injure even the most delicate goods.
For the purposes of my invention I first draw-in through the healds and reed of
a loom a set of warp threads about three eighths of an inch apart (more or less),
and I so arrange the picking and taking up motions of the said loom as to throw-in
a weft in a similar way, that is to say with the picks about three eighths of an
inch apart (more or less), thereby weaving a very open fabric with meshes of (say)
about three eighths of an inch square; and as this is woven, instead of winding
it on direct to a cloth beam as usual (which it will be evident could not be done
with so open a fabric without disturbing the relative positions of the warp and
weft), I proceed as follows. As the cloth is woven I bring it immediately into
contact with the surface of an endless coil of brown or other suitable paper which
is moving in the same direction, and at the same speed as the cloth, such surface
having been just previously coated with an adhesive waterproof composition, which
is at the time of such contact in a sticky condition so that the warp and weft
threads will immediately be caused to adhere thereto so as to be held firmly in
their respective positions. At the same time, or immediately afterwards, I bring
into contact with the said adhesive surface a continuous roll of thinner paper, or
other suitable material, which forms a clean lining to the saine and prevents the
adhesive material from coming into contact with the goods.
The whole is then pressed (preferably between heated calendering rollers) which
presses the same into one homogeneous mass thereby ensuring the perfect adhesion
of both outer and inner papers and the open woven fabric, and gives a finish to
the packing material which, when cool, may be rolled or otherwise packed or
prepared for storage sale, or use.

I JAMES ALFRED TURNER of Nutsford Vale, West Gorton, Manchester, in the
County of Lancaster, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to produce a packing material which shall be
waterproof strong, untearable, economical and light, and shall not be liable to
injure even the most delicate goods.

and weft) I proceed as follows.
"
As the cloth is woven I bring it immediately into contact with the surface of an'
endless coil of brown or other suitable paper which is kept moving in the same
direction and at the same speed as the cloth, such surface having been just
previously coated with an adhesive waterproof composition, which is at the time of
such contact in a sticky condition so that the warp and weft threads will
immediately be caused to adhere thereto so as to be held firmly in their respective
positions.
At the same time, or immediately afterwards, I bring into contact with the said
adhesive surface but on the other side of the woven fabric a continuous roll of
thinner paper or other suitable material which forms a clean lining to the same
and prevents the adhesive material from coming into contact with the goods.
The whole is then pressed (preferably between heated calendering rollers) so as
to form the same into one homogeneous mass thereby ensuring the perfect adhesion
of both the outer and inner papers and the open woven fabric, and gives a finish to
the packing material which, when cool, may be rolled or otherwise packed or
prepared for storage sale, or use.
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 I
claim is :-
First. The improvements in the manufacture of packing material consisting in
first weaving in a loom a very open fabric (say with meshes of about three eighths
of an inch more or less) and as this fabric is woven and before the threads can
become displaced instead of winding it onto a cloth beam, bringing it immediately
into contact with a continuous length of brown or other suitable paper (previously
coated with an adhesive waterproof material) moving at the same speed as the
cloth is woven then applying a thinner continuous paper as a lining so as to enclose
the fabric between the two papers, and lastly pressing the whole firmly together
so as to form one homogeneous mass the whole forming one continuous and
simultaneous process substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore set
forth.
Secondly. I claim as a new manufacture a compound waterproof packing
material composed of a very open woven fabric united by a waterproof adhesive
material between two layers of paper such combination being effected as the fabric
is woven and before it leaves the loom substantially as herein before described.
Dated this 10th day of May 1895.
