PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ornamented or Fancy Paper.
I, WILHELM HOHENSTEIN, of 84, Prinzenallee, Berlin, in the Empire of Ger-
many, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
-
This invention relates to a new industrial product which is adapted for various
decorative purposes such as the packing and wrapping up of jewellery, con-
fectionery, flowers and other articles.
This novel product consists in a paper provided, in imitation of silk, cotton,
woollen or linen fabrics, with any kind of pattern or design such as moire, damask
or flowered or made to represent plain crape.
The material used for this purpose consists of the well known crape like paper,
which during its manufacture in the paper machine or in a craping machine is
ribbed by a known process.
This known crape like paper is made suitable for the object in view in accord-
ance with this invention by figuring it by means of stamping or pressing or
imparting to it a gloss resembling that of silk goods.
In order to produce this silky gloss upon the crape paper, it may, for example,
during its manufacture in the craping machine be conducted between two pres-
sure rollers which squeeze the previously formed ribs. This manipulation may
however, be effected as an independent operation by means of suitable devices of
any description.
In order to produce the patterns or designs of damask, fabrics, moire goods,
flowered stuffs or those provided with any other woven-in ornamentation, upon
crape paper rollers are employed the surfaces of which have formed upon them
a design suitable for the object in view, such design pressing itself more or less
deeply into the ribs of the paper or merely impressing the same, as desired.
