PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Woven Fabric.
I, JEAN LOUIS PATAY, of 95 Boulevard Beaumarchais, Paris, in the Republic
of France, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved woven fabric having a metallic base.
Wires of brass or any suitable metal covered with silk, or other textile material,
are woven to any pattern and by any method with or without designs and in
different colours if desired; either the warp or the weft or both being constituted
by the aforesaid covered wire.
This improved fabric possesses a stiffness which does not render it necessary to
apply a size; it is well known that size disappears in a short time by dissolution
or in many other ways. It follows that my fabric, possessing a certain stiffness due
to its constitution, will permanently retain this stiffness.
Therefore this fabric is suitable for all the uses to which sized fabrics have
heretofore been put, for instance for the manufacture of skeletons for ladies' dress
and the like. It is evident that, according to the object for which it is designed,
the fabric may be composed of thicker or thinner wires placed more or less close
together, and that it may be woven to more or less complicated patterns with
stripes, designs, various colours, the weaving being effected by any suitable means.
I may employ any kind of loom for the manufacture of my improved fabric.
It is obvious that according to the use of the fabric it will have to be made with a
loom adapted for the special class of work. If for example the fabric is to be used for
corsets it may be woven with a corset loom, and if a fabric for hat blocks is to be
obtained it may be woven with a straight or circular loom.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Woven Fabric.
I, JEAN LOUIS PATAY, of 95 Boulevard Beaumarchais, Paris, in the Republic
of France Manufacturer of Wire Gauze, 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 relates to an improved woven fabric having a metallic base.
My said invention comprises the application of covered wires to the manufacture
of fabrics, such as linen, knitted goods, hosiery, netting, ribbon, lace, carpeting,
and the like. The object of the wires is to strengthen the fabric so as to give the
latter qualities not possessed by the fabric heretofore manufactured.
Wires of brass or any suitable metal covered with silk or other textile material
are woven to any desired pattern and by any suitable method with or without
desigus, and in different colours if desired, either the warp or the weft or both being
formed by the aforesaid covered wire.
This improved fabric possesses a stiffness which renders the application of size
unnecessary; it is well known that the size disappears in a short time by dissolution
or in many other ways. It follows that my fabric, possessing a certain stiffness
due to its constitution will permanently retain this stiffness.
This fabric is therefore suitable for all the uses to which sized fabrics have

the fabric may be composed of thicker or thinner wires placed more or less closely

is obvious that according to the use of the fabric it will have to be made with a
loon adapted for the special class of work. If for example the fabric is to be
used for corsets it may be woven with a corset loom, and if a fabric for hat blocks
is to be obtained it may be woven with a straight or circular loom.
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 :-
First. The above-described fabric composed of wires previously covered with
any suitable textile material as for example silk, the said wires being woven by
any suitable process and to any desired pattern with or without designs and with
uniform or mixed colours, the warp or the woof or both being identical or only one
of the latter being made of covered wire.
Second. The application of covered wires to the manufacture of fabrics, such as
linen, knitted goods, hosiery, netting, ribbon, lace, carpeting, and the like, the
wires having either for their object to strengthen the fabric or simply to dispense
with the necessity of using size, or to give the fabric qualities not possessed by the
fabrics heretofore manufactured.
