Nawrocki, Patent Agents, of No. 124, Leipziger Strasse, Berlin, in the German
Empire. "AN IMPROVED MANUFACTURE OF PILE FABRICS." [A communication by
Georg Juël, of Wurzen, in the German Empire.]
According to the present Invention a webbing of cotton, canvas, or other inex-
pensive textile fabric is first coated with a layer of caoutchouc solution or other
suitable adhesive material, and upon this is then laid a layer of short wool or animal
or other fibre, which in adhering to the caoutchouc solution produces a pile surface
of velvety appearance, which may be printed upon with colouring matters or have
a pattern produced thereon by pressure. Such fabric is applicable either for
articles of clothing, or for wall coverings, carpets, and furniture.

According to the present Invention a webbing of cotton, canvass, or other inex-
pensive textile fabric is first coated with a layer of caoutchouc solution or other
suitable adhesive material, and upon this is then laid a layer of short wool or animal
or other fibre, which in adhering to the caoutchouc solution produces a pile surface
of velvety appearance, which may be printed upon with colouring matters or have
a pattern produced thereon by pressure. Such fabric is applicable either for
articles of clothing, or for wall coverings, carpets, and furniture.
In performing this process the caoutchouc solution should be spread as uniformly
as possible over the fabric in repeated layers, each carefully smoothed over before
the next is applied, and the flock or fibre is strewn over the coating before
it dries. The material thus prepared is particularly adapted for hangings, being
superior to flock papers on account of its greater strength and tenacity combined
with softness and pliancy.
Having thus described the nature of the said Invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by my correspondent, I claim,
The manufacture of a pile fabric consisting of woven fabric, to which fibre is
caused to adhere by a coating of caoutchouc solution, substantially as and for the
purposes herein set forth.
In witness whereof, I, the said Gerard Wenzeslaus von Nawrocki, have
hereunto set my hand and seal, this Twenty-eighth day of November, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy nine.
