of "MANUFACTURE OF ECONOMICAL Paper Cravats FEIGNING SILK Crava
Sealed the 17th November 1874, and dated the 7th July 1874.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Frederic Armand
'
Bensalem Rosenwald at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents,,
with his Petition, on the 7th July 1874.
I, FREDERIC ARMAND BENSALEM ROSENWALD, of Boulevard de
Strasbourg, No. 123, at Paris, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature.
of the said Invention for "MANUFACTURE OF ECONOMICAL PAPER CRAVATS
FEIGNING SILK CRAVATS," to be as follows:-
:
This Invention relates to the manufacture of cravats or neckerchiefs
wholly or partly of paper prepared so as to imitate silk or fabric of silky
appearance, such articles being produced at a very low price. The
paper which I employ for this purpose is of the tissue kind dyed to a
black or other colour, prepared with a smooth or satin-like surface, or

page_text: water-marked like moiré. It may be crimped or pressed to imitato
texture, or embossed with figure patterns. It may also be printed with
colours like paperhangings, or powdered with silk dust or fibre on a
glutinous facing like flock. The paper so prepared I cut to the shapes
necessary to form simple neckerchiefs or cravats, with bows or with bands
for the front of the dress, and glue these parts together, or sew them in
cases where the stitching is desired to appear, and especially when the
paper is lined with inexpensive texture, which is desirable to give
strength and fullness, such texture being either of an opaque kind like
calico lining, or of an open kind like muslin or tulle.
For cravats made with bands for feminine wear, fringes or lace or
other ornamental borders may be glued to the edges or ends of such
bands.
I prefer in all cases to make the collar or part which surrounds the
neck separate from the bands or bows, so that, the collar alone may be
changed when worn or soiled. For this purpose the ends of the collar
part may be brought under the bow or bands, and secured thereto either
by simple pinning, or preferably by passing them through spring buckles
or catches secured to the underside of the band or bow.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Frederic Armand Bensalem Rosenwald in the Great
Seal Patent Office on the 24th December 1874.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, FREDERIC
ARMAND BENSALEM ROSENWALD, of Boulevard. de Strasbourg, No. 123,
at Paris, Merchant, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her

our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, in the thirty-
eighth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors,
give and grant unto me, the said Frederic Armand Bensalem Rosenwald,
Her special license that I, the said Frederic Armand Bensalem Rosenwald,
my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the
said Frederic Armand Bensalem Rosenwald, my executors, admini-
strators, and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others,

page_text: from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term therein
expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend,
within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel
Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "MANUFACTURE OF ECONOMICAL
PAPER CRAVATS FEIGNING SILK CRAVATS," upon the condition (amongst
others) that I, the said Frederic Armand Bensalem Rosenwald, my
executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing, under my,
or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe
and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner
the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the
Great Seal Patent Office witlin six calendar months next and imme-
diately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW. YE, that I, the said Frederic Armand Bensalem
Rosenwald, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement thereof, reference
being had to the accompanying Sheet of Drawings, and to the figures
and letters marked thereon, that is to say:-
This Invention relates to the manufacture of cravats or neckerchiefs
wholly or partly of paper prepared so as to imitate silk or fabric of silky
appearance, such articles being produced at a very low price. The
paper which I employ for this purpose is dyed to a black or other colour,
prepared with a smooth or satin-like surface, or water-marked like
moiré. It may be crimped or pressed to imitate texture, or embossed
with figure patterns. It may also be printed with colours like paper-
hangings, or powdered with silk dust or fibre on a glutinous facing liko
flock. The paper so prepared I cut to the shapes necessary to form
simple neckerchiefs or cravats, with bows or with bands for the front of the
dress, and glue these parts together, or sew them in cases where the
stitching is desired to appear, and especially when the paper is lined with
inexpensive texture, which is desirable to give strength and fulness, such
texture being either of an opaque kind like calico lining or buckram, or
of an open kind like muslin or tulle.
For cravats made with bands for feminine wear, fringes or lace or
other ornamental borders may be glued to the edges or ends of such
bands.
I prefer in all cases to make the collar or part which surrounds the

page_text: .
neck separate from the bands or bows, so that the collar alone may be
changed when worn or soiled. For this purpose the ends of the collar
part may be brought under the bow or bands and secured thereto either
by simple pinning, or preferably by passing them through spring buckles
or catches secured to the under side of the band or bow.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying Drawing shews a front view of a paper
cravat or tie made according to my Invention; Fig. 2 shews a back view
of the same, and Fig. 3 shews the collar band detached; Fig. 4 shews
the back view of a tie of another pattern.
The tie a prepared of paper, with or without a lining of texture as 1
before described, has fixed to it two spring fastenings b, b, in which are
secured the ends of the detached collar band c. Or one end of the band
may be fixed permanently to the tie by glueing or sewing, and the other
end secured by a catch or simply by a pin.
Having thus described the nature of my Invention, and in what 1
manner the same is to be performed, 'I claim the manufacture and use
of cravats or ties made wholly or partly of paper in imitation of silk
or fabric of silky appearance, substantially as herein described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Frederic Armand Bensalem
Rosenwald, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Twenty- 2
first day of December, in the year of our Lord One thousand
eight hundred and seventy-four.
Witness,
ALBERT CAHEN,
Civil Engineer,
of Boulevard Magenta, 32,
at Paris.
