PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Process for the Manufacture of Material Suitable for
Wrapping Purposes, also for the Manufacture of Envelopes as well
as Bags for the Reception of Various Kinds of Produce, such as
Bacon, Hams, Flour, Frozen or Chilled Meat and the like.
I, WILLIAM JOHN WARD, of 58, Kirkmanshulme Lane, Longsight, Manchester,
Analytical Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
―:
This invention relates to a new or improved process for the manufacture of
material suitable for wrapping purposes, also for the manufacture of envelopes as
well as bags for the reception of various kinds of produce, such as bacon, hams,
Hour frozen or chilled meat and the like.
.It has been found that there is a demand for a suitable class of material
answering to the above mentioned description that shall be strong, durable and
cheap and to this end I employ a woollen or cotten material such as calico, muslin
or the like, which I place on rollers and run on the surface of the endless wire
of a paper making machine allowing the prepared pulp to run on to the material &
wire, continuing its course over the cylinders, and when ready, if desirable to
pass the finished material through a bath of melted wax, after which it is passed
through rollers and the superfluous wax pressed out.

An Improved Process for the Manufacture of Material Suitable for
Wrapping Purposes, also for the Manufacture of Envelopes as well

I, WILLIAM JOHN WARD, of 58, Kirkmanshulme Lane, Longsight, Manchester,
Analytical Chemist, 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:.
This invention relates to a new or improved process for the manufacture of
material suitable for wrapping purposes, also for the manufacture of envelopes as
well as bags for the reception of various kinds of produce such as bacon, hams,
flour, frozen or chilled meat and the like,

page_text: It has been found that there is a demand for a suitable class of material
answering to the above mentioned description that shall be strong durable and
cheap and to this end I employ a cotton material, such as calico, muslin or the
like, or a woollen material of similarly thin texture-a roll of such material I
place under the endless wire-2, of a paper-making machine, as shown in diagram
at position marked A, allowing said material to run on the endless wire, and
on to which the prepared pulp is also allowed to flow from the "hog" box—1,
and continuing its course on to the felt 4, over the drying cylinders, and so on
as in ordinary paper making:-
Or the roll of cotton or woollen material may be placed over the endless
wire 2, at position marked B, and the said material is then allowed to run on
to the surface of the prepared pulp, which is already running on the endless
wire 2, and continues its course over the drying cylinders: -Or the roll of
cotton or woollen material may be placed under the felt 4, at position marked C,
and the said material being allowed to run on to the felt, & on to the surface of
this cotton or woollen material the partially dried paper-3, is brought as it
leaves the endless wire-2, and continuing its course over the drying cylinders,
then on to rolls, as in ordinary paper making. This finished material may, if
desirable, be run through a bath of melted wax, & between rolls to press out
superfluous wax, by which process this waxed material is made airproof and
waterproof.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
-
A process for the manufacture of material consisting of a cotton material such
as calico, muslin or the like, or a woollen material of similarly thin texture,
prepared pulp, & partially dried paper, in the three following modifications as
shown in diagram:-At position A, the cotton or woollen material is allowed
to run on to the endless wire-2, and the prepared pulp is allowed to flow on to
the surface of said material:-Or, at position 13, the cotton or woollen material
is allowed to run on the surface of prepared pulp, which is already running on
the endless wire-2,-Or, at position C, the cotton or woollen material is run
on to the felt-4, and on to the surface of this cotton or woollen material the
partially dried paper-3, is allowed to run (as herein before described), & if
desirable the said finished material may be waxed.
