Improvements in the Printing and Discharging of Woven Piece
"Goods.
We, EDMUND OGDEN, of Fern Bank, Bramhall, Cheshire, Manager, and
WILLIAM HADE FAY, of Rose Cottage, Winton, Patricroft, Manchester, Buyer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
"
*.!!
The improvements relate to printing woven fabrics, and have for object the
printing of such fabrics by means of what is known as discharge printing, in a
novel manner, which renders possible a far greater variety of effects than at
present obtains.
To accomplish this, and to effect our improvements, we prepare and dye the
yarns for the warps or wefts, or both of themi, prior to weaving the same into
fabric, by which means we obtain such variety of colour in warp and weft as is
requisite for the particular effect we may desire to ultimately produce by dis-
charging and printing as hereinafter described
The colours of such warp and weft, or such of them as we may desire to be
affected by the subsequent process, are such as are capable of being discharged
by suitable substances, such as tin discharge, in manner well understood.
We print the discharge pattern upon the fabric, so woven from dyed yarns,
in the ordinary manner, and, when necessary, we, in addition, print the same
fabric with positive colours not in the nature of discharge printing.
We are aware that fabrics have been dyed, after having been woven, and printed
with patterns in discharge; but such is entirely different from this our present
invention, which mainly consists in rrinting fabrics in discharge, which have
been woven with yarns prepared and dyed prior to the weaving thereof, whereby
greatly varied effects may be obtained which are utterly impossible by the former
method.
Variations in detail, such as in the number of colours dyed in the yarn of
either warp or weft, all, or only a portion of which may be of the nature of
discharge colours; and in the proportion the discharge printing bears with that
of a positive nature; may be made without departing from the peculiar character
of the invention.

to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
The improvements relate to printing woven fabrics, and have for object the
printing of such fabrics by means of what is known as discharge printing, in a
novel manner, which renders possible a far greater variety of effects than at
present obtains.
To accomplish this, and to effect our improvements, we prepare and dye the
yarns for the warps or wefts, or both of them, prior to weaving the same into
fabric, by which means we obtain such variety of colour in warp and weft as is
requisite for the particular effect we may desire to ultimately produce by dis-
charging and printing as hereinafter described.
The colours of such warp and weft, or such of them as we may desire to be
affected by the subsequent process, are such as are capable of being discharged
by suitable substances, such as tin discharge, in manner well understood.
We print the discharge pattern upon the fabric, so woven from dyed yarns,
in the ordinary manner, and, when necessary, we, in addition, print the same
fabric with positive colours not in the nature of discharge printing.
We are aware that fabrics have been dyed, after having been woven, and printed
with patterns in discharge; but such is entirely different from this our present
invention, which mainly consists in printing fabrics in discharge, which have
been woven with yarns prepared and dyed prior to the weaving thereof, whereby
greatly varied effects may be obtained which are utterly impossible by the former
method.
Variations in detail, such as in the number of colours dyed in the yarn of
either warp or weft, all, or only a portion of which may be of the nature of
discharge colours; and in the proportion the discharge printing bears with that
of a positive nature, may be made without departing from the peculiar character
of the invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:
yarns
Printing a discharge pattern upon a woven fabric formed of which have,
previous to weaving been dyed, wholly or in part, with colours capable of being
affected by such discharge, substantially as described.
