PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION
Improvements in the Treatment of Textile Materials and Fabrics
SALIS SIMON and RUDOLPH Dux both of the Firm of Simon & Co of
Waterloo Street Manchester in the County of Lancaster do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows
The object of our invention is the impregnation and preparation of yarns & textile
fabrics of any kind and wearing apparel of any description with a substance or
substances or a mixture of substances that are known to act as preventatives to
fever, ague and other illnesses of this description, in such manner that the wearer
of the fabric so impregnated will benefit by the action of these substances when
wearing such apparel
To carry out the same, we impregnate the yain used in the weaving of such
materials or the textile fabrics themselves in the last operation of bleaching or
finishing with a suitable quantity of a substance or substances known to act against
such illnesses such substances being amongst others quinine and its salts, acetanilide,
antipyrine and the like
As an example for yarns, we take from 1 part to 3 parts of any of the above
named substances alone, or mixed in any proportion and mix them or dissolve them
in 100 parts of water
We pass the van through such solution and we dry it afterwards
thus impregnated with the useful substance
The yarn is
In the same manner for the warps we add to the materials for the sizing from
1 to 3 parts per cent of any of the above named substances, and size in the usual
way Foi woven materials we use the same proportion from one part to three
parts per cent of any of the substances named and add it to the liquid or paste
used for the fini hing process or for the last process, before drying, that these
textile fabrics have to undergo
We want it to be understood, that we do not bind ourselves to the substances we
have named but any known substances acting against fevers
We do not limit ourselves to the proportions we have given same cau be increased
01 diminished to reasonable limits and according to the nature of the substance or
substances used In case the substances are not sufficiently soluble in water, we
use a suitable solvent which does not injure the fabric or we add them to the sizing
material or to the last finishing process so that a suitable proportion of the substance
used remains finally on the fabric
