I, EMIL GOLDSCHMIDT, of 2, Rabenplatz, Vienna, in the Empire of Austria,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of a new fabric chiefly designed for
use for the linings of clothes.
According to the invention the fabric is a woven material, the weft threads of
which are of horeshair whilst the warp threads are of cotton or other suitable
material.
In practice I have found that good results are obtained by weaving the fabric
with horsehair weft and by employing for the warp a material known as weft
yarn," which is made from a strong, flat, brilliant wool designated "crossbred
wool." The warp and weft threads are woven together in such a manner that
the horsehair is visible upon one face of the finished material and practically not
at all upon the other face where it is covered by the warp threads.

I, EMIL GOLDSCHMIDT, of 2, Rabenplatz, Vienna, in the Empire of Austria,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement;
This invention relates to the manufacture of a new fabric chiefly designed for
use for the linings of clothes.
Stiffenings for clothes have heretofore usually been made of a woven material,
the warp threads of which are of cotton yarn and the weft threads of horsehair,
the necessary stiffness being imparted to the fabric by means of a strong solution
of gum applied to the same. Such a fabric, however, possesses disadvantages in
practice amongst which may be mentioned the following, that is to say, the stiff-
ness imparted to the fabric by the gum solution is affected by dampness so that
the fabric loses its elasticity; when the fabric is ironed in the usual way with
the tailors' goose, the horsehair curls and is singed or burned and finally the fabric

the direction of the weft threads.
Now, according to the invention I make use of a fabric of a woven material,
the weft threads of which are of horsehair whilst the warp threads are of suitable
material such as weft yarn, the said fabric being woven in a particular manner
as hereinafter described.
weft
In practice I have found that good results are obtained by weaving the fabric
with horsehair weft and by employing for the warp a material known as
yarn," which is made from a strong, flat, brilliant wool designated "crossbred
wool." The warp and weft threads are woven together in such a manner that
the horse hair is visible upon one face of the finished material and practically
not at all upon the other face where it is covered by the warp threads.
The accompanying drawing illustrates in plan view a portion of the improved
fabric.
a, a represent the warp threads which are, as above described, made of weft
varn and b, b are the horsehair weft threads. As will be clearly seen from the
drawing the threads are woven together in such a manner that one side of the
fabric shews the weft yarn only practically over the whole of the surface the
horse hair being practically protected on this side of the fabric so that when the
latter is ironed in the usual manner the horsehair is not singed or burned as is
the case with fabric heretofore usually used for stiffening for clothes as above
mentioned.
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
I claim is ―
A fabric chiefly designed for the linings of clothes, the said fabric being woven
of warps of suitable material such as weft yarn and horsehair wefts in such a
manner that the horsehair is visible upon one face of the fabric and practically
not at all upon the other face, substantially as hereinbefore described.
