page_text: I, ISIDOR FRANKENBURG of Greengate Rubber Works Greengate, Salford, in the
County of Lancaster Indiarubber Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
this Invention to be as follows:-
It consists in improvements whereby I am enabled to apply two or more coats
of polish at one operation instead of, as at present requiring a separate operation
for each coat.
The present method of procedure is as follows:-The cloth is passed over a roller
revolving in a trough containing the polish which is applied by its means to the
cloth, or under a guage which spreads the polish evenly over the cloth, and is then
passed round a drying cylinder or drun or over a steam chest and then transferred
to a roller for removal.
In my improvements, after the cloth has passed round the first drying cylinder
or drum, or over the first steam chest, I conduct it by means of a suitable roller
or rollers, which may be solid or hollow and filled with a cooling composition or
not as circumstances or experience may direct, over another roller revolving in
a trough containing polish, or under a second gauge, which gives a second coat to
the fabric, and round a second drying cylinder or drum, or over a second steam
chest, and so on until the desired number of coats of polish have been given to the
fabric.
The drums and other apparatus may be placed above each other or side by side
as convenient.

page_text: Coats of Polish to Waterproof Fabrics.
I, ISIDOR FRANKENBURG of Greengate Rubber Works, Greengate, Salford in the
County of Lancaster, Indiarubber Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
my invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
It consists of improvements whereby I am enabled to apply two or more coats
of polish at one operation, instead of, as at present requiring a seperate operation,
for each coat: The present method of procedure is as follows:-The cloth is
passed over a roller revolving in a trough containing the polish, which is applied
by its means to the cloth, or under gauge which spreads the polish evenly over
the cloth, and is then passed round a drying cylinder or drum or over a steam
chest, and thence transferred to a roller for removal.
In my improvements, after the cloth has been passed round the first drying
cylinder or drum, or over the first steam chest, I conduct it by means of a
suitable roller or rollers, (which may be solid, or drying drums or cylinders filled
with any drying or cooling compound, or not as may be required by the particular
drying qualities of the polish employed) over a second roller revolving in a trough
containing polish, which gives a second coat to the fabric, and round a second
drying cylinder or drum or over a second steam chest, and so on until the desired
number of coats have been given to the fabric. I arrange the drying drums or
other apparatus above each other or side by side as may be most convenient. In
order that the foregoing may be better understood I send here with a sheet of
drawings in which indicates the roll of cloth, 6 the rollers revolving in troughs
containing varnish e the drying cylinders or drums.
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
1st. The improved method of applying two or more coats of polish to waterproof
fabrics at one operation, substantially as described and shown hereinbefore and in
the accompanying drawing.
2nd. The combination of two or more spreading rollers, with two or more drying
drums, cylinders or steam chests; substantially as described and shown hereinbefore
and in the accompanying drawing, for the purpose set-forth.
