PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Illuminant Appliances for Incandescence Gas.
Lights.
I, JULIUS MOELLER, of No. 14 Palmer Street, Westminster, in the County
of London, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
In the Specification No. 15286 of 1885 is described the manufacture of an
illuminant appliance for an incandescence gas light consisting of fabric of vegetable
material which after being impregnated with solutions of certain metallic salts is.
burned leaving a skeleton of carthy oxide which when heated by a suitable burner
is rendered incandescent. In the burning to which the appliance is subjected it
undergoes great shrinkage, and as all the loops of which the texture consists are
connected to one another and do not allow freedom for such unequal shrinkage as
may result from the nature of the material, the product is fragile, some parts of it
being under strains which render it liable to give way.
My invention relates to such a construction of fabric employed for the purpose
referred to, that all parts of it are free to shrink or take shape and position
independently of each other, the fabric being thus relieved from inequalities of
strain and being consequently less liable to give way than fabric woven or knitted
such as is now employed. For this purpose, I make a fabric of suitable form
consisting of a number of links of thread engaging with each other like the links
of a chain or chain armour but not positively connected to each other, each link
therefore having fredom to change its shape or position without being dependent
on the changes which other links undergo.

I, JULIUS MOELLER, of No. 14 Palmer Street, Westminster, in the County of
London, Engineer, 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 :-
In the Specification No. 15286 of 1885 is described the manufacture of an
illuminant appliance for an incandescent gas light consisting of fabric of vegetable
material which after being impregnated with solutions of certain metallic salts is
burned leaving a skeleton of earthy oxide which when heated by a suitable burner
is rendered incandescent. In the burning to which the appliance is subjected it
undergoes great shrinkage, and as all the loops of which the texture consists are
connected to one another and do not allow freedom for such unequal shrinkage as
may result from the nature of the material, the product is fragile, some parts of it
being under strains which render it liable to give way.

referred to, that all parts of it are free to shrink or take shape and position inde-
pendently of each other, the fabric being thus relieved from inequalities of strain and
being consequently less liable to give way than fabric woven or knitted such as is now
employed. For this purpose I make a fabric of suitable form consisting of a
number of links of thread engaging with each other like the links of a chain or
chain armour, but not positively connected to each other, each link therefore
having freedom to change its shape or position without being dependent on the
changes which other links undergo.
The links may be made of short pieces of suitable thread formed into rings and
knotted after being linked into the links already formed and linked together.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim
--
An illuminant appliance for an incandescence light made from fabric consisting.
of independent rings of thread linked together, substantially as and for the purpose
set forth.
