Improvements in Horse Bandages.
I, ROBERT RAMPFEL, of 12 Langestrasse, Shoenlinde, Bohemia in the Empire
of Austria, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The present invention relates to woven elastic hose-like or tubular material
which may be made of cotton, vicuna, linen, wool, partly wool, silk or other*
material, and of any fineness and color.
They can be manufactured on circular knitting frames or looms. These looms
or knitting frames must be chosen to suit the size or thickness of material
required.
În carrying my invention into practice, I prepare, by means of one of the above
machines, in either of the above cited materials of the required fineness and color,
a tube or strip say of 2 meters in length. The width of the bandage varies
with the fineness of the material used and the diameter of the frame, and may be
about 11 to 12 centimeters when flattened. After having made a tube of the
required length to suit the desired bandage, it is taken off the frame and turned
right side outwards, then laid on the table so as to sew one of the ends square
across with the sides, while the other end is cut across in a slanting direction and
sewn up.
The latter end is then provided with two tapes, preferably of cotton
and of the same color as the bandage, to serve for fastening the finished bandage,
which is now passed through a mangle or press. In order to facilitate the packing
of the bandages, it is preferable to turn the tapes inside and roll the whole
together and finally attach the square end, by means of a pin, to the outside, in
which form it is brought into the market.

Improvements in Horse Bandages.
I, ROBERT RAMPFEL, of 12 Langestrasse, Shoenlinde, Bohemia in the Empire
of Austria, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
The present invention relates to woven elastic hose like or tubular material,
which may be made of cotton, vicuna, linen, wool, partly wool, silk or other
materials, and of any fineness and color. They can be manufactured on circular
knitting frames or looms.

varies with the fineness of the material used and the diameter of the frame, and

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 :-
A horse bandage which may be manufactured on a loom or on a circular
knitting frame in the form of a tube, one end of such tube being sewn square
across and the other slanting with the sides, and one end of said bandage being
provided with tapes, substantially as herein described. .
