PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of "Cording
"
for Pressing.
or Binding Tobacco Rolls
I, MARCUS GOODBODY of Greenville, Dublin, Ireland, Tobacco Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:—
According to the present method of "cording," or binding tobacco rolls for the
press, the roll is wound tightly round and round with a cord, or rope in a continuous
manner, until the entire width of the periphery of the roll is encased, the free end
of the cord, or rope is then secured by the insertion of a peg or otherwise, and as
thus prepared the roll is ready for the press.
In the operation of placing, winding, and tightening the cord, or rope in the
manner described, considerable time is absorbed, which means increased cost of
manufacture, and my invention is designed to accomplish the object in view, in a
simpler, more economical, and effectual manner.
For this purpose instead of using an endless cord, or rope I take a certain
number of lengths and arrange them parallel to each other, between two bands of
canvas, or other suitable textile material. These bands are then sewn together
longitudinally between each of the lengths of cord, or rope so as to form one com-
plete band of the whole. The free ends are encased in an overlapping strip of
canvas, passed round at right angles to the lengths of cord, or rope which serves
for the purpose of securing the band round the roll as presently described.
The band as thus constructed is simply placed round the roll, and the free
ends being drawn tightly together, pegs, or spikes, (or other suitable means of
fastening) are inserted in the transverse canvas flaps, when the roll is ready for
the press.
It will be obvious that the band is composed of lengths according to the circum-
ference and thickness of the roll, and the number of such lengths will also be
affected by the section of the cord, or rope employed.
I desire to have it understood that my improved band may also be produced by
inserting the cord, or rope into the cloth during the process of weaving, instead of
sewing as herein before described.

An Improved Method of "Cording"
"
or Binding Tobacco Rolls
for Pressing.
1, MARCUS GOOD BODY, of Greenville, Dublin, Ireland, Tobacco 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 :-
According to the present method of "cording," or binding tobacco rolls for the
press, the roll is wound tightly round and round with a cord or rope in a continuous
manuer, until the entire width of the periphery of the roll is encased, the free end
of the cord or rope is then secured by the insertion of a peg or otherwise, and as
thus prepared the roll is ready for the press.
In the operation of placing, winding, and tightening the cord or rope in the manner
described, considerable time is absorbed which means increased cost of manufacture,

page_text: and my invention is designed to accomplish the object in view, in a simpler, more
economical and effectual manner.
For this purpose instead of using an endless cord or rope, I take a certain
number of lengths and arrange them parallel to each other, between two bands of
canvas, or other suitable material. These bands are then sewn together longi-
tudinally between each of the lengths of cord or rope, so as to form one complete
band of the whole. The free ends are encased in an overlapping strip of canvas
passed round at right angles to the lengths of cord, or rope, which serves for the
purpose of securing the band round the roll as presently described.
The band as thus constructed is simply placed round the roll, and the free ends
being drawn tightly together, pegs or spikes, or other suitable means of
fastening, are inserted in the transverse canvas flaps, when the roll is ready for
the press.
The accompanying drawings will enable my said invention to be more readily
understood.
Fig. 1, shows a sectional view of the band. a, a, being cords or ropes,
b, b, covering of canvas, c, c, lines of longitudinal sewings between ropes.
Fig. 2, shows a flat view, (broken) of the band complete, with free ends or flaps
provided with eyelet holes d, d.
It will be obvious that the band is composed of lengths according to the circum-
ference and thickness of the roll, and the number of such lengths will also be
affected by the section of the cord, or rope employed.
I desire to have it understood that my improved band may also be produced by
inserting the cord or rope into the cloth during the process of weaving, instead of
sewing as hereinbefore described.
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:
First. In the process of "cording" or binding tobacco rolls for pressing, the
use and application of a band, consisting of a number of cords, arranged parallel
to each other, between layers of canvas or other suitable material, the layers
being sewn together longitudinally between each of the cords, so as to form a
complete band, substantially as herein described.
Second. In the operation of "cording" or binding tobacco rolls for pressing,
the use and application of a band formed by inserting the cord into the cloth
during the process of weaving, substantially in the manner herein described and
set forth.
