PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Material applicable for Use as a Lining or Trimming.
We, THOMAS WEBB, of Waterloo Road, Stockport, in the County of Chester,
Manufacturer, and WILLIAM WELLS COLLYER, of Shaw Heath, Stockport,
aforesaid, Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
This material is intended to be applied as a lining or trimming where a quilted
material has or can be applied such as to the linings or sweat bands of hate, caps,
or other head coverings.
It is designed to provide a material which shall have the appearance and effect
of a quilted material without being sewn or stitched together and consists essentially
of a material formed with a backing of soft material such as felt, cloth, cotton
batting or wadding or the like and a face of satin, serge or other suitable material
with an intermediate layer capable of being rendered soft and adhesive preferably
by the application of heat or moisture such as a film of gutta percha, the face
being marked or indented with marks to represent stitches which cause the three
layers of material to adhere or stick together.
In carrying out the invention we take the soft backing material preferably felt-
though cotton wadding, cotton batting or other soft fibrous material may be
employed-and upon it place a thin layer of material such as gutta percha, rubber,
shellac, gummed paper or other similar (preferably waterproof) material capable
of being rendered soft and adhesive by heat or moisture and over this we lay the
face material of satin or other fabric.
We then take a die or roller upon which are formed or engraved projections
corresponding with or representing stitches of sewing and press the three fold
material therewith. The dies or rollers are heated to the desired temperature and
the form that the stitches take thereon may be of any design.
The pressure of the heated dies or rollers upon the material impresses the face
material onto the gutta percha or other layer melting the latter and forcing the
former down into it and at the same time forcing the material thus rendered
adhesive into the backing material and causing all three to adhere together as one
material.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Material applicable for Use as a Lining or Trimming.
We, THOMAS WEBB, of Waterloo Road, Stockport, in the County of Chester,
Manufacturer, and WILLIAM WELLS COLLYER, of Shaw Heath, Stockport,
aforesaid, Manager, 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 :-
This material is intended to be applied as a lining or trimming where a quilted
material has or can be applied such as to the linings or sweat bands of hats, caps,
or other head coverings.

page_text: It is designed to provide a material which shall have the appearance and effect
of a quilted material without being sewn or stitched together and consists essentially
of a material formed with a backing of soft material such as felt, cloth, cotton
batting or wadding or the like and a face of satin, 'serge or other suitable material
with an intermediate layer capable of being rendered soft and adhesive preferably
by the application of heat or moisture such as a film of gutta percha, the face
being marked or indented with marks to represent stitches which cause the three
layers of material to adhere or stick together.
It will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
as an example it is shown as applied to a hat sweat.
Fig. 1. is a face view of the material.
Fig. 2, section of same.
Fig. 3, section drawn to an enlarged scale.
In forming the material we take a soft material A preferably felt or other cloth
(though cotton-wadding, cotton-batting or other fabric may be employed) to form a
back. Upon the back A we place a thin layer of a material B capable of being
rendered soft and adhesive by heat or moisture such as gutta percha, rubber, shellac,
gummed paper or other similar material, but preferably impervious to moisture.
Over the layer of adhesive material B we lay a piece or layer of satin, silk, or other
fine fabric C to form a face.
We then pass over the surface of the face material C a die or roller upon which
are formed or engraved projections corresponding with or representing stitches of
sewing and press the three-fold material therewith. The dies or rollers are heated
if necessary.
The pressure of the dies or rollers upon the material impresses the face material C
onto the gutta-percha or other layer, forcing the former down into it on the lines of
contact c and at the same time forcing the adhesive material into the backing
material and causing all three to adhere together.
The lines c formed on the surface of the face material C represent lines of
stitching (without threads) the indentations of a needle or other design. The
finished material has the appearance of a quilted fabric being pressed down and
held close together on the lines c and loose between these lines.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. A material applicable for use as a lining trimming or the like composed of a
layer of soft material to form a back, an intermediate layer of adhesive material,
and a layer of fine material to form a face the face material being impressed into
the adhesive material to cause the latter to adhere to both face and back where
impressed to represent quilting substantially as described.
2. A three ply material applicable for lining or trimming and representing a
quilted fabric constructed with two layers of fabric with an adhesive material
between compressed together at intervals substantially as described and shown.
