I ALFRED GEORGE BROOKES of the firm of W Brookes & Son of 55 Chancery
Lane in the County of Middlesex Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PRINTING
OR IMPRESSING OF PAPER WRAPPERS, CARDS, TICKETS, LABELS, OR OTHER LIKE
MATERIALS, USED FOR PACKING OR ATTACHING TO THREAD OR OTHER TEXTILE
MATERIALS to be as follows:-
In the packing of thread or other materials such for instance as flax or hemp
or other threads the papers in which such materials are wrapped or the cards
tickets labels or other materials attached thereto bear indications such as trade
marks particulars as to quality quantity or otherwise generally printed thereon in
various colored printer's or other inks, such as black blue red brown or other
colors and this is ordinarily effected in a printing or lithographing press and often
also such indications are stamped by hand.
My invention consists in decolorising partially bleaching or discharging to a
greater or less extent the original coloring matter from the surface of a wrapper
label card ticket or such like surface prepared of an uniform color or in breadths
of color and so as to leave the indications of a lighter or different color or tint from
the body of the article or by stopping out.
The nature of the indications will of course vary with their purpose be that
ornament identification or otherwise of the textile material.
One method I employ is to color or employ a label or other surface colored of
a given color or variety of colors and I then proceed to discharge more or less the
color in parts to form the desired indications, by impressing thereon by means of
india-rubber or other elastic printing surfaces, or by ineans of wood metal or other
types or printing surfaces a suitable chemical agent adapted to discharge or change
the color at the parts impressed or printed.

page_text: This impressing or printing may be performed by the aid of a press or
by hand.
In some cases the devices or designs or marks may be obtained by what is
known as stopping out or protecting or retaining portions of the color of the
surface that will form the design and discharging or changing the color of
the remainder.
As an example I have found it to give a good result when coloring, or employing
a surface colored with a blue color adapted to be discharged thereby to use Muriate
of Tin as the discharging or decolorising agent.

I ALFRED GEORGE BROOKES of the firm of Wm Brookes & Son of 55 Chancery
Lane in the County of Middlesex Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents, do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PRINTING
OR IMPRESSING OF PAPER WRAPPERS, CARDS, TICKETS, LABELS OR OTHER LIKE
MATERIALS, USED FOR PACKING OR ATTACHING TO THREAD OR OTHER TEXTILE
MATERIALS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
In the packing of thread or other materials such for instance as flax or hemp
or other threads the papers in which such materials are wrapped or the cards
tickets labels or other materials attached thereto bear indications marks or designs
such as trade marks, particulars as to quality quantity or otherwise generally

The nature of the indications will of course vary with their purpose be that
ornament, identification or otherwise of the textile material.
One method I employ is to color or employ a label or other surface colored, of
a given color or variety of colors and I then proceed to discharge more or less the
color in parts to form the desired indications, by impressing thereon by means of
india rubber or other elastic printing surfaces, or by means of wood metal or other
types or printing surfaces, a suitable chemical agent adapted to discharge or change
the color at the parts impressed or printed.
This impressing or printing may be performed by the aid of a press or
by band.
In some cases the devices or designs or marks may be obtained by what is
known as stopping out or protecting or retaining portions of the color of the
surface that will form the design and discharging or changing the color of
the remainder.
As an example I have found it to give a good result when coloring, or employin
a surface colored with a blue color adapted to be discharged thereby to use Muriate
of Tin as the discharging or decolorising agent, and my foreign correspondents fin!

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
