IMPROVEMENTS IN TRAVELLING OR CARRIAGE RUGS WRAPS AND APRONS to be
as follows:-
Namely the making of Travelling or Carriage Rugs Wraps or Aprons with
Pockets or Pouches therein thereto or thereon or the making of Pockets or Pouches
in to or upon such Rugs Wraps or Aprons the Pockets or Pouches being of any
number shape size or material or materials and of any position in or upon the Rug
Wrap or Apron whether inside or outside or reversible so as to be opened from
either side at pleasure or in the case of a double or lined Rug Wrap or Apron
between the two materials or pieces whereof the same may be composed and
whether permanently attached to the Rug Wrap or Apron or removable therefrom
and in the latter alternative whether attached by means of buttons hooks or any
other ways or means. Some of such Pockets or Pouches may be made suitable or
adapted for or to Gloves or Mittens or Muffs lined or unlined for the purpose of
keeping the hands warm or may be made in such form as to be capable of being
detached and separately used as bags satchers or similar receptacles with or without

County of Middlesex Fancy Goods Manufacturer and SIDNEY WHITE of 47 Lime
Street in the City of London Solicitor do hereby declare the nature of our invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN TRAVELLING OR CARRIAGE RUGS WRAPS AND APRONS
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
The improvement contemplated consists in the addition to or combination with
travelling or carriage rugs wraps and aprons (all of which are hereinafter included
in the term Wrap") of Pockets or Pouches Bags and Muffs or some or one
. of them.
"
These pockets or pouches bags or muffs may be made of any suitable material or
materials whether the same as the material or materials of which the Wrap is made
or different therefrom and may be fastened to or connected with the Wrap in any
manner and be formed with or without side pieces for the purpose of allowing
expansion. They may be of any number shape or size and of any position in or
upon the Wrap: they may be on either side of the Wrap or in case the Wrap be
double (in other words be made of two pieces of material or materials sewn or
fastened together so that one surface of one is applied to one surface of the other)
then the pockets or pouches may be so constructed as to be situate between such
two pieces of material or materials and to be opened from either side at pleasure.
The pockets may be made and secured with a flap covering capable of being buttoned
or otherwise fastened down when the pocket is closed or may be otherwise fastened
or secured at the mouth so as to be capable of being inverted with little or no
danger of loss of the contents and by means of two such flaps or fastenings if
desired the pockets may be made reversible so as to be opened from either end at
pleasure.
The Bag or Muff (if any) may be either permanently attached to the Wrap or be
removable therefrom and in the latter alternative may be attached to the Warp by
Buttons Hooks or any other available ways or means and may be so made as to be
capable of being used when detached as a separate and independent Bag or Satchel
or Muff as the case may be.
Some of the Pockets or Pouches may be made suitable for and adapted to be
used as Gloves or Mittens or Muffs for the purpose of keeping the bands warm
being lined with fur wool or other suitable material or unlined as preferred.
Others of the pockets or pouches may receive the form of cases or pockets to hold
umbrellas or Walking Sticks.
The form or arrangement which we would generally adopt is that the Wrap
should be made with one large pocket situate about the middle of the Wrap and a
little larger in size than one eighth part of a Newspaper page so as to be capable of
conveniently carrying a Newspaper the pocket being made with side pieces to
admit of expansion and secured at the mouth in one of the modes already referred
to. Upon the outer side of this pocket we would place a smaller pocket or two

page_text: smaller pockets similarly secured and suitable and intended for the carriage of
money railway tickets and the like. Upon the wrap on each side of these pockets
and at the distance of a few inches therefrom we would place a pocket or pouch to
serve the purpose of Gloves or mittens for the purpose of keeping the hands warm
and at the edge of the Wrap or near thereto we would place a long narrow pocket
or case for the carriage of an umbrella or walking stick. But we attach no special
importance to the number or situation of the pockets or pouches or other
appendages or to their form size or mode of construction or the purposes for which
they may be intended or to the other details here specially referred to.
Wraps may also be made double or suitable for use by two persons at the same
time by placing an additional Glove pouch on each side, one beside and beyond
each of those described in the last preceding paragraph. Such a Wrap would be
suitable for use by either one person or two persons as might be desired.
The invention may also be applied to Wraps or Aprons of Perambulators Invalid
Chairs or Carriages and the like and may further be applied to Coverlets and
Counterpanes for the use and convenience of invalids and others and to a variety
of other purposes.
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 our
claim is
The Combination of Pockets or Pouches Bags and Muffs or any of them with
Travelling or Carriage Rugs Wraps and Aprons Coverlets or Counterpanes or the
addition or application of Pockets or Pouches Bags or Muffs to Travelling or
Carriage Rugs Wraps and Aprons Coverlets or Counterpanes.
