I, BENJAMIN SHAW of Folly Hall Huddersfield, Yorkshire, Whitesmith, do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVED FRAME FOR
ECONOMISING SPACE IN PACKING SEAL SKIN AND OTHER PILE FABRICS," to be as
follows:-
The principal object of my invention is to economize space in packing goods for
shipping so that a certain length of woven piece will occupy less room than is now
the case consequently the tariff will be less for the same value of material shipped.
To carry out my invention I form the usual packing frame something after the
manner of a double triangle so placed that the apex of one triangle is connected to
the apex of the other triangle.
A pair of such double triangles are then connected together at a suitable distance
apart by a flat board which is made much narrower than usual consequently a
saving in wood is effected.
Tenter hooks are attached to each triangle and one end of the woven piece is
then connected to the said hooks and wound round and round the said frame until
all the cloth is fastened to the tenter hooks, such method of attachment leaving a
small space between each layer or fold, by which means the face and back of the
cloth do not touch each other, whilst the frames so made occupy less room in
consequence of the quick angle of the triangles.

I BENJAMIN SHAW, of Folly Hall, Huddersfield, Yorkshire, Whitesmith, do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED FRAME FOR
ECONOMISING SPACE IN PACKING SEAL SKIN AND OTHER PILE FABRICS," and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The principal object of my invention is to economise space in packing goods for
shipping, so that a certain length of woven piece will occupy less room than is
now the case, consequently the tariff will be less for the same value of material
shipped.
To carry out my invention I form the usual packing frame something after the
manner of a double triangle so placed that the apex of one triangle is connected to
the apex of the other triangle.
A pair of such double triangles are then connected together at a suitable distance.
apart by a flat board which is made narrower than usual, consequently a saving in
wood is effected.
Tenter hooks are attached to each triangle, and one end of the woven piece is
then connected to the said hooks, and wound round and round the said frame
until all the cloth is fastened to the tenter hooks, such method of attachment
leaving a small space between each layer or fold, by which means the face and
back of the cloth do not touch each other, whilst the frames so made, occupy less
room in consequence of the quick angle of the triangles.
In order that my invention may be better understood, I herein make reference
to the accompanying sheet of drawings illustrative thereof.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a pair of my improved frames, connected together,
and having a length of woven pile fabric attached thereto. A are the frames
which are formed in the shape of two triangles, the apex of one triangle being
connected to the apex of the other triangle, as will be more clearly seen in Fig. 2,
which is elevation of the frame, the two frames being connected together by a
narrow piece of wood B.
Tenter or other form or description of hooks a are attached to the sides of the
frames, and to the hooks at the apex of the triangles, the cloth is first connected,
and then wound round and round until the whole of the cloth is hooked onto
the hooks.
This method of attachment leaves a small space between each layer or fold of
the cloth, by which means the face and back of the cloth do not touch each other,
thereby preventing any damage being done to the " 'pile."
Frames for packing seal skin and other pile fabrics, made or formed as shewn
and described occupy much less room than the frames previously employed, whereby
the tariff will be much less for the same quantity or value of material shipped.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my Baid
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
The use and employment of a frame for packing seal skin and other pile fabrics,
made or formed of two triangles, having their apexes connected together sub-
stantially as, and for the purpose shewn and described.
