1, JEAN MARIE POISNEL, residing at No. 1, Rue Hauteville, Paris,
in the Empire of France, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF STRAPS, BELTS,
BANDS, PIPES, AND OTHER ARTICLES OF INDIA-RUBBER OR SIMILAR FABRIC," to be
as follows:-
This Invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of
straps, belts, bands, pipes, and other articles of india-rubber or similar
fabric. Heretofore straps, belts, bands, pipes, and other articles of india-
[Price 8d.]

page_text: rubber fabric have been produced by coating a sheet of a suitable fabric
with a layer of india-rubber on one or both sides and more or less thick
according to circumstances, and various processes and machines have
been used for this purpose. To produce pipes a band of suitable width
has been cut from a sheet of the coated fabric, and its edges have been
joined together either in a straight line or in a spiral, so as to give to
the band a tubular form.
My Invention consists in substituting for the sheet of fabric threads
or small cords of suitable fibrous material covered with india-rubber or
compound of india-rubber or similar material. These threads or cords
are woven, plaited, or otherwise combined together so as to produce a
fabric of the form and size of the article required. In some cases 1
cover this fabric on oue or on both sides with a layer of india-rubber
or similar material.

Patent, and of an Order of the Lord Chancellor, by the said Jean
Marie Poisnel in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 18th September
1868.

NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Jean Marie Poisnel, do hereby

same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement thereof, that is to say :-
This Invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of
straps, belts, bauds, pipes, and other articles of india-rubber or similar
fabric. Heretoforo straps, belts, bauds, pipes, and other articles of india-
rubber fabric have been produced by coating a sheet of a suitable fabric
with a layer of india-rubber on one or both sides and more or less thick
according to circumstances, and various processes and machines have
been used for this purpose. To produce pipes a band of suitable width
has been cut from a sheet of the coated fabric, and its edges have been
joined together either in a straight line or in a spiral, so as to give to
the band a tubular form.
My Invention consists in substituting for the sheet of fabric threads
or small cords of suitable fibrous material covered with india-rubber or
compound of india-rubber or similar material. These threads or cords
are woven, plaited, or otherwise combined together so as to produce a
fabric of the form and size of the article required. In some cases I
cover this fabric on one or on both sides with a layer of india-rubber
or similar material.
In witness whereof, I, the said Jean Marie Poisnel, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Nineth day of September, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight.
