An Improved Manufacture of Waterproof Packing Material.
1 CHARLES HENRY ARNOLD of 67 Shakespeare Street, Plymouth Grove,
Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Manager, do bereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of waterproof packing material.
Hitherto such material has been made of strong waterproofed paper, or fabric,
single or double, or paper caused to adhere to a woven fabric to strengthen the
same and waterproofed.
My invention consists of a packing material formed by taking a piece of open
woven fabric and two pieces of thin paper and pasting or comenting the two pieces
of paper together with the fabric between, the two surfaces of the paper meeting
and adhering together between the threads forming the fabric. The two pieces of
paper are then waterproofed in the usual manner by means of oil, wax, or
the like.
My improved packing material being surfaced on both sides with paper is very
strong, and as very light paper can be employed on each side of the woven fabric,
the material is quite cheap to manufacture. Furthermore there is no filling
required when using coarse woven fabric between the paper surfaces.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Manufacture of Waterproof Packing Material.
I CHARLES HENRY ARNOLD, of 67 Shakespeare Street, Plymouth Grove,
Manchester, in the County of Lancaster Manager, 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 :-
This invention relates to the manufacture of waterproof packing material.
Hitherto such material has been made of strong waterproofed paper, or fabric,
single or double, or paper caused to adhere to a woven fabric to strengthen the
same and waterproofed.
My invention consists of a packing material formed by taking a piece of open
woven fabric and two pieces of thin paper and pasting or cementing the two pieces
of paper together with the fabric between, the two surfaces of the paper generally
meeting and adhering together between the threads forming the fabric. In cases
however where an open fabric made of coarse or thick yarn is used I find it is
preferable not to force the inner surfaces of the paper coatings to meet between
the threads but to cause them to adhere together by adhering to the fabric between

page_text: them. The two pieces of paper are then waterproofed in the usual manuer by
means of oil, wax, or other suitable waterproofing material.
My improved packing material being surfaced on both sides with paper is very
strong, and as very light paper can be employed on each side of the woven fabric,
the material is quite cheap to manufacture. Furthermore there is no filling
required, when using coarse woven fabric between the paper surfaces. In addition
to this as 'there is a layer of paper on each side of the fabric should one layer
become cracked the packing material will still remain waterproof provided that
the other layer is not cracked at the same place and this will in many cases not
happen.
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:
A packing material made of a piece of suitably open woven fabric covered on
each side with a coating of thin paper caused to adhere to the said open fabric and
then waterproofed substantially as herein before described.
