of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention has reference to machines for applying golds, flocks, micas and
other materials to paper for paper hangings or other purposes, or to other fabrics
by a continuous process.
The invention consists in the adaptation or addition to a machine for printing
designs upon paper or other fabric of a roller which effects the gumming or sizing
of the web of paper or fabric and conducts the same away from the drum of the
machine to an additional cylinder where it is gilded, flocked or coated with mica
or other material by any usual process, the web being afterwards reconducted
to the drum of the machine to undergo a similar operation or to receive any
subsequent colorings.

Improvements in or relating to Machines for Applying Golds.
Flocks, Micas, or other Materials to Paper or other Fabrics.
I, CHARLES PHILIP HUNTINGTON of Belgrave Mills, Darwen, in the County
of Lancaster, Paper Manufacturer and Paper Stainer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
My invention has reference to machines for applying golds, flocks, micas and
other materials to paper for paper hangings or other purposes or to other fabrics by
a continuous process.
According to my invention effect the gumming or sizing of a web of paper or
other fabric by means of a roller adapted to or forming part of a machine for
printing designs upon paper or other fabric and I provide the machine with an
additional cylinder to which the web is conducted from the drum after the
gumming or sizing and by means of which it is gilded flocked or coated with mica
or other material by any usual process, the web being afterwards reconducted to
the drum of the machine to undergo a similar operation or to receive any subsequent
colorings.
The annexed drawing will serve to illustrate my invention. A is the drum or
cylinder of a machine for printing designs upon paper or other fabric, B is the web
of paper or fabric to be gilded, flocked or coated with mica or other material. C is
a roller by which gum or size is applied in any ordinary way to the web. D is the
additional cylinder to which the web is conducted after it has been gummed or
sized by the roller C. This cylinder D applies the gold, mica or other material to
the gummed or sized web by any ordinary process. On leaving the cylinder D the
web B is conducted back to the drum A to receive any desired subsequent colorings
or to undergo a similar operation.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
The combination with a machine for printing designs upon paper or other fabric
of a cylinder such as D for applying gold, flock, mica or other material substantially
as set forth.
