PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Method of Producing Ornamental and other
Designs upon the Surface of Textile and other Fabrics.
I LOUIS MISTOVSKI of Broadfield Rubber Works Heywood in the County of
Lancaster, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
These improvements relate to textile and other fabrics and have for object the
production of ornamental and other designs upon the surface of such fabrics. In
carrying out my invention I apply on the surface of the fabric a film or coat of
shellac dissolved in ammoniacal liquor or other solvent, or other suitable substance
capable of producing a glossy effect. The film or coat of shellac or equivalent
matter may be applied in a pattern or design if desired so as to leave a portion of
the fabric uncovered, and the coated fabric may be afterwards vulcanized by a cold
process or by a heat process: I may ornament the surface of the shellac-coated
fabric after vulcanization or before by printing upon it in suitable medium, and in
such colours as may be desired, the required pattern or design by means of the
ordinary printing process. I may then give the fabric or textile material a coat
of arrowroot or other suitable substance, for producing a shot or luminous effect.

Improvements in the Method of Producing Ornamental and other
Designs upon the Surface of Textile and other Fabrics.
I LOUIS MISTOVSKI of Broadfield Rubber Works, Heywood in the County of
Lancaster, 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 produce a class of ornamental india rubber
waterproof fabrics, of a very little more weight than the ordinary single texture
waterproof fabric and also to ornament the same by the production of effects and
designs thereupon, such fabrics being used more particularly for ladies' waterproof
garments. My improvement on india rubber waterproof fabric is applicable to
any suitable and desired waterproof woven fabric which is spread or coated with
india rubber substance and consists principally in applying to the proofed surface,
or, to parts of its surface, a coat or coats of shellac.
A woven fabric is selected of the desired material and woven in any desired
pattern, and the back of such fabrics is then coated with one or more coatings of
india rubber substance in an ordinary spreading machine and in the ordinary way.
I then apply to such coated fabric a film or coat of shellac either dissolved in
ammoniacal solution or such solutions as may be necessary for the same purpose.

page_text: I may apply the shellac in any design required so as to leave a portion of the
fabric uncovered. I may now ornament the surface of the shellac coated fabric
after vulcanization (or before) by printing upon it, in a suitable medium and in
such colors as may be desired, the required pattern or design. In some goods and
in some textures or fabrics, I may also subject it to printing the shellac coated
surface before vulcanization and in others after.
To protect the printed surface, I then give the printed fabric one or more coats
of a transparent solution of india rubber before vulcanization or after by the
ordinary process. I may then give the printed fabric or textile material a coat of
arrowroot or other suitable substance for producing a shot or luminous effect, but
I desire it to be understood that I am well aware that farina and alpha-oxycellulose
and similar materials have been applied to waterproof fabrics to produce a surface
for ornamentation.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what. I
claim is :-
1. The production of ornamental designs upon waterproof fabrics by the
application of a coating of shellac in any suitable form or shade and then printing
thereon substantially as described.
2. The method or process of obtaining or producing ornamental designs upon
proofed fabrics substantially as described.
