I, GEORGE HENRY NUSSEY of Boar Lane, Leeds, in the County of York, Woollen
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 my invention is to imitate velvet, or plush, or seal and other skins by
knitting one or in combination one two or more kinds of yarn or material, such as
worsted, alpaca, cotton, mohair, silk, wool or
" combination yarns."
The fabric consisting of foundation or ground and of plush loop, is produced on an
ordinary knitting machine.
What I wish to be understood by an ordinary knitting machine is; any machine
such as a straight bar machine that may be or is used for making what is are known as
"knitted facrics."
Not only do I use all the above materials separately or in combination for forming
the foundation or ground of the fabric, but 1 also employ all or any of the above
materials in combination or separately to form the face or plush.
The face or plush loop after being formed in the knitting machine is cut, before or
after it is dyed, or stained, or tinted and lacquered so as to produce a knitted fabric in
imitation of velvet, or plush, or seal and other skins. The latter operations are
performed either in succession in the ordinary way, or one or more of them may be
omitted.
The ground and also the face or loop are may be formed in a knitting machine of
ordinary construction, as above stated and afterwards the loop is cut to form the plush
or pile on what is known as a "Lewis" or other pile cutting machine.
The material is dyed in accordance with the ordinary methods.
The tinting or staining operation is effected by a brush, revolving or which may
recolve or be otherwise, supplied with the necessary colouring matter from any con-
venient source, or by means of rollers in the manner employed for printing on paper
and other surfaces.
Any desired depth of tint or stain may be thus given to the material, and this
be made to extend any required distance down the plush or pile.
The lacquering operation is effected by a brush supplied with lacquer from any
convenient source, or by means of rollers in the manner employed for printing
on paper and other surfaces.
Lacquering gives lustre or brilliancy to the pile.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
:-
A knitted fabric manufactured in imitation of velvet, or plush, or seal, or other
skins, the looped part of such fabric having been cut and dyed, or stained, or tinted
and lacquered, substantially as herein set forth.
Dated this 23rd day of March 1887.
