France, Manufacturer.]
An Improved Method of Printing Fabrics.
I, HENRY HARRIS LAKE of the firm of Haseltine Lake & Co., Patent Agents,
45 Southampton Buildings in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a method of printing fabrics. It may be applied to any
fabrics, such as silk, wool and cotton and mixtures of these materials, and enables
the printing to be done in any colours. As compared with the methods heretofore
employed the improved method possesses the advantages hereinafter enumerated
and bears no relation to anything already done as regards the printing of fabrics.
For any fabric, such as silk, wool and cotton, or a mixture of these materials, on
which it is desired to print designs in various colours I prepare one or more forms,
blanks and the like of paper, cardboard, metal, celluloid or other suitable material,
which are each provided with openings according to the outlines of the design of
each colour to be printed. Then I place the form or forms upon the fabric and
with brushes, pads, rollers or the like pass the desired colour successively by
register into the openings of each form. It will be understood that in this manner
the fabric will finally be printed in the colour or various colours constituting the
whole of the design.
The principal industrial advantages of this method of printing are rapidity and
small cost of engraving and employment of labourers for doing work ordinarily
executed by skilled workmen.
