Wrappers and for other Purposes.
We, ALFRED BUCKLEY WARHURST, 48 Brook Road Bootle, Lancashire, Com-
mercial Traveller, and JOSEPH BEDFORD, Haymarket Chambers, Sheffield, Yorkshire,
Metal Broker do hereby declare the nature of our said invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN PREPARING PERFUMED PAPER FOR CIGARETTE WRAPPERS AND FOR
PAPERS to be as follows:-
OTHER
Our invention of improvements in preparing paper so that it will give off or
emit a perfume while it is being burnt or consumed by combustion, refers more
particularly to paper used in wrapping tobacco for cigarettes, and to the books of
cigarette papers to be carried in the pocket, but such prepared paper may be applied
or used for other purposes.
Such paper may be prepared either to give off its perfume during combustion
only, or both before, and during combustion, and it may be made not only non-
injurious but even beneficial to the smoker.
Our invention consists in the use of aromatic herbs, gums, or essences, preferably
of a non-evanescent nature, and in either combining them with the paper during
the process of manufacture, or in the case of herbs and gums, by attaching them to
the surface of the paper by adhersion.
Preferably we incorporate such gums or herbs (which have been previously
reduced to the condition of fine powder) with the pulp from which the paper is to
be made, taking care that in the following stages in the process of manufacture, a
degree of heat is not attained that would destroy the aromatic properties of the
gums or herbs employed, which in this process form integral or constituent parts
of the finished paper.
If found more convenient we may mix the herb or herbs or guns, pulverised as
before described, with a finely prepared mucilage, or a paste, which the paper may
be caused to absorb, or with which it may be saturated by any well known
process.
Or such prepared mucilage or paste may be spread upon paper, dried, and after-
wards cut into suitable strips and attached to the cigarette wrapper.

We ALFRED BUCKLEY WARHURST, 48 Brook Road Bootle, Lancashire, Com-
mercial Traveller, and JOSEPH BEDFORD, Haymarket Chambers, Sheffield Yorkshire,
Metal Broker do hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
PREPARING PERFUMED PAPER FOR CIGARETTE WRAPPERS, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement, that is to say :——
Our invention refers more particularly to paper used in wrapping tobacco for
Cigarettes and to the books of Cigarette papers to be carried in the pocket; but
such prepared perfumed papers may be applied to or used for other purposes.
Our invention consists in the use of certain aromatic Herbs, Gums, or Essences,
and in the method of combining them with or attaching them to the said paper or
papers:
In carrying out our invention we take the following gums, essences, barks and
-substances in proportions to suit the taste, or special perfume required, and reduce
the gums, barks, or herbs to a fine powder.
Gums Olibanum, Benzoin, Balsam Tolu, Mirrh.
Barks Yellow Sandal Wood, Cascarilla, Cinnamon.
Herbs Lavender Flowers.
According to one arrangement or process, we mix and incorporate the powder so
formed with the pulp from which the paper is made, the powdered materials before
described thus become integral and constituent parts of the finished paper.
According to a second method or process, we macerate the said gums barks and
herb in or with rectified spirit of wine so as to extract their active and principal
aromatic properties, and the tincture thus obtained is caused to be absorbed by the
paper during the process of manufacture, but if desired finished paper may be
treated with the tincture which a thin paper will readily absorb.
A third method or process is carried out by grinding or otherwise pulverising
the gums, barks, and herb to a very fine powder, and by means of rectified spirit
of wine and a mucilage of accacia or other adhesive substance to compound a paste
- of the said materials, which is afterwards spread on one or both edges of the
cigarette papers, or may be spread upon sheets of paper to be afterwards cut into
strips and attached to Cigarette papers.
The proportions of the before inentioned Gums, Barks, and Herb, may be varied
to suit different tastes, and requirements, and it is evident that paper so perfumed,
may be used for other purposes than for wrappers for cigaretts, as for example the
lining of small fancy boxes.
In practice we find that the best result is produced by the use of all the materials
given, but we do not bind ourselves to such use, as a fair result may be attained by
the use of a selection of the materials.

page_text: 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:-
1st In the preparation of perfumed paper for cigarettes and other purposes,
the method of incorporating a perfume consisting of all, or part, of the materials
hereinbefore enumerated, with the pulp of the said paper during the process of its
manufacture.
2nd In the preparation of perfumed paper for cigarettes and other purposes,
causing the said paper during manufacture to absorb a solution of all or part of the
materials above enumerated, and prepared by maceration as before described; or
by saturating finished paper with the said solution.
3rd Preparing perfumed paper for cigarettes and other purposes by making the
beforementioned solution, in the form of a strong mucilage or paste, and spreading
it on the surface of paper in any required manner.
