Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Embossed
Raised Paper for Covering Walls and for other purposes.
or
We, JOHN HOLDEN and SAMUEL WOODS, trading under the style or Firm of John
Holden and Company, of Bowling Green Mills, Darwen, in the County of Lancaster,
Paper Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention to be as
follows:-
This invention consists of improvements in or relating to the manufacture of
embossed or raised paper for covering walls and other purposes, such as, railway
carrriages, private carriages, ceilings, partitions, panels, wood-work, the latter
including saloons, cabins, and other parts of sailing ships and steam vessels; also
for socking for slippers, boots, shoes and the like. This we effect by employing
the sponge paper described and set forth in Jackson's Patent No. 2485, dated
February 20th 1888, or any other felt paper or paper composed of or made from
materials, such as, sponge, jute, wool or woollen, rags, felt, and other suitable
materials or substances, and joining it with any ordinary paper-white or colored-
when passing over or through the paper making machine at any part most convenient.
This duplex material is then embossed in the usual or any other manner with any
suitable pattern or patterns. After the sponge and paper web or webs are joined
together they are pressed jointly in any convenient manner and then calendered or
otherwise, after which they are embossed in the usual or any other convenient
manner. If desired the embossing machine may be attached to the paper-making
machine or otherwise, and when completed the compound material may be stamped
as Egyptia" or any other registered or other name as desired or required by the
trade. This improved embossed or raised paper may be manufactured with or
without what is known in the trade as "scrim or threads.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a part side elevation of a paper-making machine with our invention
applied.
A, A, are the ordinary drying cylinders of a paper-making machine-B represents
sponge paper or felt paper as it is passing from the machine-C calender frame-
D calender bowls or rollers-E batching or receiving roller-side elevation of
framework for carrying batching or receiving roller-G framework of paper-making
machine H roll of paper (white or colored)-I size-box, and J the size roller.
When the drying cylinders A and the calender rollers 'D 'are rotating the sponge
paper or felt paper B passes over the roll H of white or colored paper, which from the
point of contact travel and pass together under the size roller J mounted in the size-
From
box I at which point both are charged with size to form permanent contact.
under the size roller J the combined sized sponge or felt paper B and 'the white or
colored paper H pass together in their combined sized form M over the rollers K to
and between the heated calender rollers D, after which the same is wound round or
on the "batching" or receiving roller E in a finished state as one web or paper with
two different faces. After this duplex material is thus formed it may be embossed in
the usual or any other manner-most convenient--with any suitable pattern or
patterns.
Having thus stated the nature of our said invention and described the mode of per-
forming the same, we would have it understood that we do not confine ourselves to
the precise details or configuration of the parts we have shown and described as the
same may be varied or modified without departing from the principle of our inven-
tion, but what we claim and desire to be secured to us by Letters Patent is :-
The manufacture of combined sponge or felt paper and white or colored paper with
different faces, substantially as described and illustrated.
