PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Out Pile Fabrics.
We WILLIAM HENRY FOSTER, Manufacturer, and RALPH LEE, Foreman
Finisher, both of Black Dike Mills, Queensbury, in the County of York, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :—
This invention relates to an improved backing for imitation seal skin, otter, and
other like imitation furs, and has for its object the production of a backing closely
resembling natural skin or hide and having the advantage of economy of
manufacture.
According to this invention we combine a woven backing, india rubber cement,
granular, or powdered leather, cork, paper, or wood granulated, as follows:-
We apply to the woven backing of the piece a dressing of india rubber in
solution, and to the latter a layer or covering of granular or powdered leather
which is pressed, rolled or otherwise firmly incorporated with the india rubber
dressing, and when thoroughly dry or
"
set the surface of the leather is subjected
to the action of revolving sand, emery or powdered glass roller or rollers which
renders the leather covering true and even.
Leather suitable for purpose aforesaid is readily ground or powdered from
ordinary shavings or waste leather.
We prefer leather as above described from which we have obtained highly
satisfactory results but we do not confine the invention to leather for the covering
described as ground or powdered cork, paper, cam wood, fustic log or other
like woods reduced to granular state are applicable for purpose herein set forth.
Dated this 14th day of March 1894.
