LETTERS PATENT to James Alfred Turner, of Nutsford Vale, West Gorton,
near Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, for an Invention of “AN
IMPROVED MANUFACTURE OF COMPOUND PACKING MATERIAL, AND OF
COVERINGS FOR PACKAGES OR BALES MADE OF SUCH MATERIAL."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said James Alfred Turner at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 9th March 1881.
JAMES ALFRED TURNER, of Nutsford Vale, West Gorton, near Manchester, in
the County of Lancaster. "AN IMPROVED MANUFACTURE OF COMPOUND PACKING
MATERIAL, AND OF COVERINGS FOR PACKAGES OR BALES MADE OF
MATERIAL."
SUCH
In using compound packing material consisting of two or more sheets of different
material cemented together for covering packages or bales, it is requisite to stitch
together the contiguous edges of the sheets of the material that forin the covering,
and when such material is of any substance the stitching becomes very laborious,
and the holes formed through the material by the needle render the covering
pervious to moisture.
According to my present Invention I obviate these defects by cementing together
the separate sheets or lengths of fabric forming the compound packing material
in such a manner as to leave such sheets or lengths separate from each other along
the edges of the compound material, so that when using such material for forming
coverings, the contiguous separate edges of the one fabric (which is by preference a
woven fabric) can be readily stitched together without passing the needle through
the other fabric or fabrics, the edges of which are then lapped under or over the
stitched fabric, and thus form a more or less perfectly impervious lining or covering
to the joint..

by the said James Alfred Turner in the Great Seal Patent Office on the

JAMES ALFRED TURNER, of Nutsford Vale, West Gorton, near Manchester, in
the County of Lancaster. "AN IMPROVED MANUFACTURE OF COMPOUND PACKING
MATERIAL, AND OF COVERINGS FOR PACKAGES OR BALES MADE OF SUCH
MATERIAL."
In using compound packing material consisting of two or more sheets of different
material cemented together for covering packages or bales, it is requisite to stitch
together the contiguous edges of the sheets of the material that form the covering,
and when such material is of any substance the stitching becomes very laborious,
and the holes formed through the material by the needle render the covering
pervious to moisture.
According to my present Invention I obviate these defects by cementing together
the separate sheets or lengths of fabric forming the compound packing material in
such a manner as to leave such sheets or lengths separate from each other along
the edges of the compound material, so that when using such material for forming
coverings, the contiguous separate edges of the one fabric (which is by preference a
woven fabric) can be readily stitched together without passing the needle through
the other fabric or fabrics (consisting of either paper or woven fabric), the edges of
which are then lapped under or over the stitched fabric, and thus form a more or
less perfectly impervious lining or covering to the joint.
Having thus described the nature of my Invention, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, I claim,―
с
First. An improved manufacture of packing material, consisting of two or more
sheets or lengths of fabric cemented together in such a manner as to leave the
sheets separate from each other along the edge of the compound material.
Second. An improved manufacture of coverings for packages, consisting of two
or more of the sheets or lengths of the compound packing material prepared as set
forth in the preceding claim, having only the contiguous edges of the one fabric
stitched together, the edges of the other fabric being folded under or over the
stitched joint so as to form a lining or cover thereto.
In witness whereof, I, the said James Alfred Turner, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Seventh day of September, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and eighty-one.
JAMES ALFRED TURNER. (L.S.)
