We, JAMES HEBBLEWAITE of the Ancoats Vale Rubber Company Limited,
Palmerston Street, Ancoats, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, secretary of
the said Company, and EDWARD HOLT, of the same Company and place, Director
of the said Company, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN MEANS EMPLOYED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DESIGNS. ON
TEXTILE AND OTHER FABRICS OR SURFACES," to be as follows:-
ft
The improvements relate to the production of designs on textile and other
fabrics or surfaces, such as calicoes and all other woven cloths or fabrics, paper,
felt, and felted fabrics, floor cloths, leather, or other surfaces susceptible of the
operation; and the said improvements form an extension or modification of an
invention made by us, and protected under the Patents, Designs and Trade Marks
Act, 1883, and numbered 6399 of the year 1884, entitled "Improvements in
producing designs upon waterproof fabrics"; which invention consists of a method
of embossing fabrics made waterproof by a coating of india-rubber, and covered
with farina or other substance, capable of producing a like effect.
The object of these our present improvements is to enable a like result to be
obtained on textile and other fabrics, which are not rendered waterproof.
To effect this and to accomplish our improvements, we cover the fabrics to be
operated upon with a thin or weak solution of India-rubber, or other suitable
compound or solution; but instead of such India-rubber compound or solution
being used to such an extent as to render the fabric, so operated upon, waterproof,
it is, in this case, employed as a medium for causing the farina or other substance
to properly adhere to the fabric, which is then submitted to the processes described
in our specification herein before referred to, and numbered 6399 of the year 1884.
By which means a great variety of manufactured goods may be ornamented, or
designs formed thereon, by embossing in combination with a farina or other surface
or surfaces without rendering the same waterproof.
The fabrics may be embossed in such manner, either upon a plain surface or
surfaces, or upon one or both which have been previously printed, or it may be
printing can be effected after embossment.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN MEANS EMPLOYED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF DESIGNS ON

to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:—
The improvements relate to the production of designs on textile and other

Act 1883, and numbered 6399 of the year 1884, entitled " 'Improvements in
producing designs upon water-proof fabrics"; which invention consists of a method
of embossing fabrics made waterproof by a coating of india-rubber, and covered
with farina or other substance, capable of producing a like effect.
The object of these our present improvements is to enable a like result to be
obtained on textile and other fabrics which are not rendered waterproof.
To effect this and to accomplish our improvements, we cover the fabrics to be
operated upon with a thin or weak solution of india-rubber, or other suitable
compound or solution; but instead of such india-rubber compound or solution

it is, in this case, employed as a medium for causing the farina or other substance

or surfaces without rendering the same waterproof.
The fabrics may be embossed in such manner, either upon a plain surface or
surfaces, or upon one or both of which have been previously printed, or it may be
printing can be effected after embossment.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
The embossing of textile fabrics which have been only partially treated with
india-rubber solution or compound on the surface or surfaces, that is to say, not
sufficiently to render the same water-proof, whether in conjunction with farina or
other substances, or whether printed or not, for the purpose and in manner
substantially as herein described.
Dated this 18th day of January 1886.
