I, ROBERT BRUN, of 52, Barbarossa Strasse, Kaiserslautern, Kingdom of
Bavaria, German Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:
-
The present invention has reference to improvements in means for exterminat-
ing moths and relates more especially to exterminators consisting of thin sheets
of paper or fabric, saturated or coated with a mass, known to be repugnant to
moths A very effective mass 18 naphthaline which 18 universally used for the
purpose of diving out motha The use of it however so far has been confined
to the powdered form or to the ball form, the so called mothballs
Both are

affects the colours and gives them a spotted appearance, while the moth balls
impress themselves into to goods and cause the latter to wrinkle According
to the present invention thin sheets of paper or fabric are coated or impregnated
with a diying medium, containing powdered naphthaline The latter, upon the
saturating or affixing medium having dried, adheres in the form of a thin coating
to the paper or fabric This prepared paper or fabric is now placed in envelopes,
which are lengthwise and crosswise perforated so as to permit of the penetrant,
pungent smell of the naphthaline to better communicate itself to the goods to
be protected

Both are objectionable in that the former, being scattered over the goods to be
protected, affects the colours and gives them a spotted appearance, while the
moth balls impress themselves into the goods and cause the latter to wrinkle.
According to the present invention thin sheets of paper or fabric are coated or
impregnated with naphtaline, which is liquefied by heat The latter, adheres
in the form of a thin coating to the paper or fabric This prepared paper or
fabric is now placed in envelopes, which are lengthwise and crosswise perforated
so as to permit of the penetrant, pungent smell of the naphthaline to bettoi
communicate itself to the goods to be protected
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
I claim is.-
Means for protecting fabrics and the like from the attacks of moths con-
sisting in sheets of paper or fabric coated with liquefied naphthaline and covered
by an envelope.
