An Improved Textile Fabric or Material Adapted to be Worn Next
to the Skin.
I CHARLES JACOB SCHOTT of the firm of Schott Brothers Limited, 36 Richmond
Road, Bradford, Yorkshire, Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of this Inven-
tion to be as follows:-
My Invention has for its object to produce articles intended to be worn next to the
skin and designed to have a beneficial effect upon the same or otherwise designed to
promote the health of the wearer. My Invention is particularly adapted for
application in the production of chest protectors or appliances. I produce a yarn
made by combining together two different descriptions of yarn one soft spun and the
other hard span. The softer yarn would in most or in all cases be coarser in count
than the harder yarn or might consist of two or more soft spun yarns. The harder
spun yarn is twisted to such a degree as that it shall have an exciting action upon
the skin without being too irritating. The two kinds of yarn are combined together
in such a manner as that the harder yarn shall form itself into twisted kinks which
project at comparatively close intervals from the softer yarn as in the case of yarn
which has been prepared to produce ornamental effects prior to my invention but has
not contained a combination of fine yarn so hard spun, with thicker and soft spun
yarn, like the compound yarn I use in carying my invention into effect.
This com-
bination would not be suited to the purposes of ornamentation, but I have found it by
experiment to be particularly suitable for the hygienic purposes mentioned, as
securing the combined effects of warmth and gentle but constant irritation. The
degree of irritation may be varied according to requirements, by increasing or
diminishing the number and proportions of the kinks of hardtwisted yarn contained
in the compound yarn. I form the yarn so prepared into chest protectors or into
appliances or garments or portions of garments by hand processes such as knitting or
crotchetting or by weaving or by the aid of knitting machinery or by suitable
means. I have found that appliances so produced have a beneficial action upon
the skin especially in cases wherein coughs or other pulmonary symptons are to be
allayed.

claim is :-
The fabric of the nature produced in the manner and adapted to be used substantially
as and for the purpose set for and indicated.
