I GEORGE HAHLO of 100 Portland Street Manchester in the County of Lancaster
Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be perforined, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
The method of packing yarns for exportation at present adopted consists in packing
a certain number of hanks of yarn into a bundle which is then enveloped in paper
and tied up with string, and the tickets indicating the quality, counts, name and
place of manufacture or of the merchant and so forth are pasted or otherwise
affixed to the outside of this paper covoring.
Sometimes the tickets are also placed loose inside the bundles.
A number of these bundles is then formed into a bale which is covered with canvas
or other similar material and hooped in the usual manner.
The consequence of this method of packing is that when the bale is pressed in the
hydraulic press for hooping, the great pressure bursts the paper envelopes of the
bundles, and when the bales have arrived at their destination and are opened, nearly,
if not quite, all of the bundles are found in a burst condition and the yarn soiled and
more or less injured. And before they can be offered for sale the bundles have to be
re-papered and the tickets are thus of no avail to indicate the quality or counts of
the yarn, or the place of manufacture or the name of the manufacturer or merchant,
and hence there is no apparent guarantee of the genuineness of the article which may
be of British, German or other manufacture and of doubtful quality, besides the
additional expense of re-papering.
To remedy this defect I propose to pack each bundle of yarn with the tickets or
other marks or indications as usual, but before baling the same I wrap each papered
bundle of yarn separately in a piece of calico or other suitable woven fabric and
I put such additional tickets or marks outside such package as may be required to
indicate its contents if desired.
I then put the required number of such packages so made together and bale and
hoop them in the usual way and I find that by improved method of packing as afore-
said not only will the packages of yarn remain entire with the tickets or marks
ID....

page_text: thereon so that the yarn is preserved, but upon removing the calico or other similar
envelope the original paper package will be found not to have burst with the pressure,
and besides saving the expense of re-papering, the bundles of yarn will appear in
precisely the same state as when they were originally packed for baling with all the
tickets, marks, and other guarantees of quality intact, and the yarn not in any way
deteriorated. and hence they will find a much more ready sale, owing to the butter
appearance of the bundles of yarn than if the bundles had been burst, in baling and
re-papered by inexperienced persons abroad as usually the case.
The cloth used for covering the paper packages will also be available for other
purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed [ declare that what I
claim is :-
The improvement in packing yarns for exportation in the manner hereinbefore
particularly described and for the purposes set forth.
