IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF VELVETS AND OF PILE FABRICS IN IMITATION OF SZIV AVT מוזזארז MAMODTATS
Year: 1881

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Henry Lister, of Ashbrow Mills, near Huddersfield, in
the County of York, Manufacturer, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE MANUFACTURE OF VELVETS AND OF PILE FABRICS IN IMITATION OF
SZIV
AVT
מוזזארז
MAMODTATS"
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Henry Lister at the Office
of the Commissioners of Patents on the 21st January 1881.
HENRY LISTER, of Ashbrow Mills, near Huddersfield, in the County of York,
Manufacturer. "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF VELVETS AND OF
PILE FABRICS IN IMITATION OF SEAL SKIN AND OTHER SIMILAR MATERIALS."
This Invention has reference to velvets and to woven pile fabrics made in
imitation of the skins of seals, otters, chinchillas, and other like animals, and the
improvements consist in a new combination of materials for use in the manufacture
of the fabrics referred to. The material employed consists in a mixture of mohair
and silk when in the raw state, that is to say, these two materials are combined
and blended previous to spinning, and when produced into a thread, may be used
either as warp or weft. After the piece has been woven and the pile cut, it is
subjected to the process or operation known as "tipping." Instead of using mohair
and silk, alpaca and silk may be combined and blended together and treated in
the manner already referred to, or a mixture of camel hair and silk may be
employed.
By which means a better imitation of the original skin is obtained than has
hitherto been made, the materials herein named being peculiarly well adapted for
the purpose.

by the said Henry Lister in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 21st July
1881.
HENRY LISTER, of Ashbrow Mills, near Huddersfield, in the County of York,
Manufacturer. "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF VELVETS AND OF
PILE FABRICS IN IMITATION OF SEAL SKINS AND OTHER SIMILAR MATERIALS."
This Invention has reference to velvets and to woven pile fabrics made in
imitation of the skins of seals, otters, chinchillas, and other like animals, and the
improvements consist in a new combination of materials for use in the manufacture
of the fabrics referred to. The materials employed consist in a mixture of mohair
and silk when in the raw. state; that is to say, these two materials are combined
and blended previous to spinning, and when produced into a thread, may be used
either as warp or weft. After the piece has been woven and the pile cut, it is
dyed and afterwards subjected to the process or operation known as "tipping," or
it may be dyed only and not "tipped."
Instead of using mohair and silk, alpaca, and silk may be combined and blended
together, and treated in the manner already referred to, or a mixture of camel hair
and silk may be employed.
By which means a better imitation of the original skin is obtained than has
hitherto been made, the materials herein named being peculiarly well adapted for
the purpose.
Having now described the nature and particulars of my Invention, I would have
it understood that I do not confine myself to the relative proportions of the materials
employed, as these may be varied according to circumstances, but what I believe to
be new in the manufacture of velvets and of pile fabrics in imitation of seal skins
and other similar materials is,―
Firstly. The combination of mohair and silk when used in the raw state, sub-
stantially as described.
. Secondly. The combination of alpaca and silk when used in the raw state, sub-
stantially as described.
Thirdly. The combination of camel hair and silk when used in the raw state,
substantially as described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Henry Lister, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Fourteenth day of July, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and eighty one.
