Improvements in Ornamented India Rubber Waterproofed Fabrics and
in the Mode of Producing the same.
I, GOODMAN CHARLES MANDLEBERG Managing Director of the firm
J. Mandleberg & Co. Limited, of the Albion Waterproofing Works, Pendleton,
Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the
nature of the said invention, to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to produce a class of india rubber waterproof
fabrics of very little more weight than ordinary single-texture indiarubber water-
proof fabrics, and also ornament the same, such fabrics being intended more
particularly for ladies waterproof garments.
My improved india-rubber waterproofed fabrics consist of any suitable and
desired woven fabric which is spread or coated with india-rubber proofing, and has
then applied to its proofed surface or to parts of its surface ornamenting strips of
fabrics, produced in the following manner.
A woven fabric is selected of the desired material and woven according to any
desired pattern or surface, the back of such fabric is then coated with one or
more coats of india-rubber proofing in the spreading machine, in the ordinary:
manner.
It is then taken and cut into strips in the lengthway of the fabric, and when
being cut the strips may be wound up in a roll or rolls on a beam or beams or on
bobbins, then the ends of the proofed side of these strips of prepared fabric are
brought in contact with the proofed face of the previously proofed body or ground
fabric, the ornamenting strips being arranged according to the design required, and
the two fabrics are pressed together.
.
This operation takes place whil the proofed surfaces of the ground or body.
fabric and ornamenting strips are still tacky, or india rubber solvent is applied
to the proofed surfaces of the body or ground, or ornamenting fabrics or to both
fabrics while they are passing to a calendering machine which presses the two
together.
The combined fabrics may have india rubber solvent applied to them and when
it has sufficiently softened the proofing, the combined fabrics may be again
calendered.
In some cases if desired india rubber solution, may be used in place of solvent,'
and in some cases if desired one or more thin coatings may be spread over the
entire surface of the combined fabrics.
Fabrics formed as described are or may be coated with farina or its equivalent
and then. vulcanized or otherwise treated.
The process or processes hereinbefore described may be varied without departing
from my invention.

page_text: 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 :-
1
The object of my invention is to produce a class of india rubber waterproof
fabrics of very little more weight than ordinary single-texture india-rubber water-
proof fabrics, and also ornament the same, such fabrics being intended more
particularly for ladies waterproof garments.
My improved india-rubber waterproofed fabrics consist of any suitable and
desired woven fabric which is spread or coated with india-rubber proofing, and has
then applied to its proofed surface or to parts of its surface ornamenting strips of
fabrics produced in the following manner.
A woven fabric is selected of the desired material and woven according to any
desired pattern or surface, the back of such fabric is then coated with one or
more coats of india-rubber proofing in the spreading machine, in the ordinary
manner.
It is then taken and cut into strips in the lengthway of the fabric, and when
being cut the strips may be wound up in a roll or rolls on a beam or beams or on
bobbins, then the ends of the proofed side of these strips of prepared fabric are
brought in contact with the proofed face of the previously proofed body or ground
fabric, the ornamenting strips being arranged according to the design required, and
the two fabrics are pressed together.
This operation takes place while the proofed surfaces of the ground or body
fabric and ornamenting strips are still tacky, or india-rubber solvent is applied to
the proofed surfaces of the body or ground, or ornamenting fabrics or to both
fabrics while they are passing to a calendering machine which presses the two
together.
The combined fabrics may have india-rubber solvent applied to them and
when it has sufficiently softened the proofing, the combined fabrics may be again
calendered.
In some cases if desired india-rubber solution, may be used, in place of solvent,
and in some cases if desired one or more thin coatings may be spread over the entire
surface of the combined fabrics.
Fabrics formed as described are or may be coated with farina or its equivalent,
and then vulcanized or otherwise treated.
The process or processes hereinbefore described may be varied without departing
from my invention.
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.
1. The process or processes of ornamenting india-rubber waterproofed fabrics by
applying to the proofed face of the fabric to be ornamented, strips of woven fabric
made from wide fabrics coated on one side with proofing, substantially in the
manner and for the purpose herein before described.
2. The improved fabrics made and ornamented in the manner claimed in the
above claim.
