PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to the Ornamentation of Jute Carpets
and the like.
We, GEORGE STEVENSON, and GEORGE STEVENSON & COMPANY, LIMITED,
Ancrum Carpet Works, Lochee, near Dundee County of Forfar, Scotland,
Manufacturers and Dyers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to the ornamentation or application of ornamental designs
to jute carpets and the like particularly to jute carpetting in the piece, whether as
squares, rugs, matting or mats.
Hitherto, the ornamenting of jute goods has been effected by machine or block
printing, but we substitute the application of the design by means of stencil plates
or equivalent.
In carrying out our invention we take the jute cloth of the proper texture
and finish and draw it off a beam or roller on to a table, and while suitably
stretched or held thereon we apply one or more stencil plates which may be made
of any suitable material, paper, metal, celluloid, for example. These plates are cut
or formed to the required pattern and held or secured if necessary the colour being
brushed or otherwise suitably applied to the material by hand or power, or a
mordant may be first applied and the dyes or colours afterwards.
After leaving the table the cloth is subjected to the application of heat,
preferably steam, in any convenient manner, as for example by passing it over or
between steam-heated cylinders so as to develop the colour or dry the material.
Any design in any required number of colours can be thus applied.
The whole of the apparatus may be constructed as one machine or the various
parts may be separate and the forms of the various parts may be varied according
to requirements so long as the necessary results are obtained.
