We HERBERT LUSHINGTON STOREY and ISAAC HENRY STOREY of the firm
Storey Brothers and Company of the Town and County of Lancaster Table Baizo
and Oil Cloth Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of said invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF OIL CLOTHS," to be as follows:→
Our invention relates to the process known as embossing the said cloths which
has hitherto been the last process in the manufacture of such goods, and consists
in ornamenting the prepared oil cloth by embossing a design or pattern thereon in
such manner that the sunk parts of the embossed pattern or design on the face of
the cloth have or can have applied to them some suitable metallic or other powder
which is made to adhere thereto by a suitable cement, that is imprinted in the act
of embossing.
One way in which we can carry our invention into effect is by passing the
prepared oil cloths through what is known as an einbossing machine and by means
of a suitable apparatus, such for instance as the Inking apparatus used in letter
press web printing, we apply a suitable size or cement to the engraved metal
embossing roller, which roller then applies or imprints the size or cement to the
face of the prepared cloth in the act of embossing.
We then apply by brushes or other suitable means, a metallic or other powder to
the newly embossed cloth which powder will only be retained on the parts having
the imprinted size or cement and will adhere thereto, the surplus being easily
brushed dusted blown off or otherwise removed.
In the above described process we do not confine ourselves to any one method of
applying the size or cement to the engraved metal embossing roller or to the method
of applying the metallic or other powder to, or removing the surplus powder from
the embossed and imprinted cloths.

Storey Brothers and Company of the Town and County of Lancaster, Table
Baize and Oil Cloth Manufacturers, 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 :—
Our invention relates to the process known as embossing the said cloths which
has hitherto been the last process in the manufacture of such goods, and consists in
ornamenting the prepared oil cloth in the web by embossing a design or pattern
thereon by rollers in such manner that the sunk parts of the embossed pattern
or design on the face of the cloth have or can have applied to them some suitable
metallic or other powder which is made to adhere thereto by a suitable cement,
that is imprinted in the act of embossing.
One way in which we can carry our invention into effect, is by passing the
prepared oil cloths in the web through what is known as a roller embossing machine
and by means of a suitable apparatus, such for instance as the Inking apparatus
used in letter press web printing, we apply a suitable size or cement to the engraved
metal embossing roller, which roller then applies to or imprints the size or cement
upon the prepared face of the cloth in the act of embossing.
We then apply by brushes or other suitable means, a metallic or other powder
to the newly embossed cloth which powder will only be retained on the parts
having the imprinted size or cement and will adhere thereto, the surplus being
easily brushed, dusted, blown off or otherwise removed.
In the above described process we do not confine ourselves to any one method of
applying the size or cement to the engraved metal embossing roller or to the method
of applying the metallic or other powder to or removing the surplus powder from
the embossed and imprinted cloths.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
The manufacturing of ornamental oil cloth by passing the same through a
roller embossing machine in the web which imprints a cement in the act of
embossing to which metallic or other powder is applied substantially as herein-
before described.
