Improvements in and relating to the Printing of Textile Fabrics.
We, WILLIAM RUMNEY & CO. LIMITED, whose registered office is at 53, Port-
land Street, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, Calico Printers, and
ALEXANDER STEVENSON YOUNG, of the same place, Managing Director, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to produce an imitation of colored woven or
tapestry effects on textile fabrics.
In carrying out our invention we mount a small roller in a suitable frame.
This roller may be of wood, metal, rubber, or any other material.
The roller is supplied with colour by means of a furnisher revolving in a color
trough, and is cleaned if necessary in the usual manner by means of a doctor.
The fabric to be printed, is first passed under a tension rail, then it touches
lightly the top of the said roller and receives therefrom a light coating of the
colour. The tension rail is adjustable and the pressure of the cloth on the roller
can be so arranged that only the tops of the threads of the fabric receive a coating
of the colour thus producing an imitation of coloured weaving. After leaving
the small roller the cloth passes on to the drying cylinders where it is dried, in
the usual manner.
The speed of the fabric is so arranged that it travels faster than the surface
speed of the small roller.
Our apparatus may be used in conjunction with an ordinary ealico printing
machine. Also we may print one or more colours on the fabric in the ordinary
manner with engraved rollers, either before or after it passes the above mentioned
small roller. Furthermore the said roller may be either a plain unengraved
oller having a porous surface or it may have objects, floral designs, stripes or the
ike arranged on the surface in relief."
When the said roller is a plain roller, we prefer to use a fabric which is woven
u figured or floral designs which stand up more or less above the general ground
1 surface of the fabric.

page_text: ALEXANDER STEVENSON YOUNG, of the same place, Managing Director, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
The object of this invention is to produce an imitation of colored woven or
tapestry effects on textile fabrics.
In carrying out our invention we mount a small roller a in a suitable frame b
(See drawing annexed). This roller may be of wood, metal rubber or any other
material.
The roller a is supplied with colour by means of a furnisher e revolving in a
color trough, and is cleaned if necessary in the usual manner by means of a
doctor, d.
The fabric to be printed, is first passed under a tension rail, e, then it touches
lightly the top of the said roller and receives therefrom a light coating of the
colour.
The tension rail is adjustable by means of a screw and the pressure of the
cloth on the roller can be so arranged that only the tops of the threads of the
fabric receive a coating of the colour thus producing an imitation of coloured
weaving.
After leaving the small roller a the cloth passes on to the drying cylinders /
where it is dried, in the usual manner.
The speed of the fabric is so arranged that it travels faster than the surface
speed of the small roller a.
Our apparatus may be used in conjunction with an ordinary calico printing
machine. Also we may print one or more colours on the fabric in the ordinary
manner with engraved rollers, either before or after it passes the above mentioned
small roller. Furthermore the said roller may be either a plain unengraved
roller having a porous surface or it may have objects, floral designs, stripes or the
like arranged on the surface in relief."
When the said roller is a plain roller, we prefer to use a fabric which is woven
in figured or floral designs which stand up more or less above the general ground
or surface of the fabric.
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:-.
1. Producing an imitation of coloured woven or tapestry effects on textile
fabrics in the manner substantially as herein before described.
2. The mechanism for producing an imitation of coloured woven or tapestry
effects on textile fabrics substantially as hereinbefore described.
