Year: 1887

page_text: 1, Count STANISLAS JULIAN OSTROROG, trading as Walery,' of 164, Regent
Street, in the County of Middlesex, Photographer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of antiseptic and protective garments or
coverings, chiefly intended for human use as preventives against certain contagious
diseases.
In carrying out my invention, I saturate a woven or felted material of open texture,
such as loosely woven canvas, with a mixture of coal-tar and carbolic acid, creosote,
eucalyptus oil or other suitable antiseptic preparation or compound; and having
removed the excess of liquid by rolling, pressing or similar treatment, the fabric is
thoroughly dried, preferably at a warm temperature and exposed to a current of air.
The fabric thus prepared is then covered on both sides with flannel, muslin, linen or
other material, according to the use to which the article when finished is to be applied.
The three thicknesses of material are then stitched or otherwise fastened together.
An antiseptic pad manufactured as above described and covered with flannel on one
or both sides may be worn upon the chest or back; the same serving not only as a
preventive against certain contagious diseases, but as a protection to the lungs. Belts
to be worn about the loins may be manufactured in a similar manner.
For use as
bandages and for other surgical purposes, the covering material may be of linen.
The invention is also applicable in the manufacture of sheets, blankets, shawls,
travelling rugs and the like; articles of such size being by preference quilted for the
purpose of fastening the three thicknesses of material together.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Antiseptic Garments, Coverings,
and other Articles.
I, Count STANISLAS JULIAN OSTROROG, trading as 'Walery,' of 164, Regent
Street, in the County of Middlesex, Photographer, 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 antiseptic and protective garments or
coverings chiefly intended for human use as preventives against certain contagious
diseases.
In carrying out my invention, I saturate a woven or felted material of open texture,
such as loosely woven canvas, with a mixture of coal tar and carbolic acid, creosote,
eucalyptus oil or other suitable antiseptic preparation or compound; and having
removed the excess of liquid by rolling, pressing or similar treatment, the fabric is
thoroughly dried, preferably at a warm temperature, and exposed to a current of air.
The fabric thus prepared is then covered on both sides with flannel, muslin, linen or
other material according to the use to which the article when finished is to be applied.
The three thicknesses of material are then stitched or otherwise fastened together.
י
An antiseptic pad manufactured as above described and covered with flannel on one
or both sides may be worn upon the chest or back; the same serving not only as a
preventive against certain contagious diseases, but as a protection to the lungs. Belts
to be worn about the loins may be manufactured in a similar manner.
For use as
bandages and for other surgical purposes, the covering material may be of linen.
The invention is also applicable in the manufacture of sheets, blankets, shawls,
travelling rugs, horse-cloths, mosquito curtains, camping appliances (such as tents,
hammocks, &c.) and the like; articles of such size being, by preference, quilted for
the purpose of fastening the three thicknesses of material together.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim :—
1. The improved method of manufacturing material for antiseptic or protective
garments, coverings and other articles, substantially as herein described.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a woven or felted material of open texture,
saturated with an antiseptic preparation or compound and furnished on each side with
a covering of woven or other suitable material, the several thicknesses being fastened
together, substantially as herein described.
