page_text: I CHARLES MOSELEY of the Chapel Field Works Manchester in the County
of Lancaster Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This Invention relates to steam and other packings and has for its object to
protect the packing from rapid wear and to give greater durability.
•
These Improvements consist in constructing or manufacturing the packing of
yarn in combination with soft metallic wire or thread. The yarn employed may
be of cotton, linen, asbestos or any other fibrous material ordinarily used or
capable of being suitably employed in the manufacture of the packings which are
the subject of this Invention or of a mixture of such materials. The metallic wire
or thread may be of lead, soft copper or an alloy of these metals or of other metal
or alloy of metals similarly capable of change of form under ordinary or moderate
pressures.-I may interweave the yarn and metallic wire or thread in a loom in the
usual manner using yarn of cotton asbestos or other fibrous material for the warp
and the metallic wire or thread for the weft or the reverse or I may use a warp
consisting partly of yarn and partly of soft metallic wire or thread that is to say
successive or single ends of yarn may alternate with successive or single ends of
soft metallic wire or thread and the weft may consist or successive or single picks
of yarn alternating with successive or single picks of the wire. Alternatively the
composite weft of yarn and soft metallic wire may be used with a warp consisting
wholly of yarn or of soft metallic wire or a composite warp of soft metallic wire
and yarn may be employed with a weft of yarn or of wire.
In the construction of circular square and similar packings I may use the cloth
consisting of yarn interwoven with the metallic wire as hereinbefore described and
coated in the ordinary manner with India Rubber or its compounds rolling or
wrapping and cementing it into the form required and where desirable I employ
an elastic India-rubber or other suitable core or foundation. For this purpose
I prefer to cut the strips of cloth diagonally so that the warp and weft may lie
spirally upon the core. Instead of proceeding in the manner just described I may

page_text: lay or braid the yarn or soft metallic wire upon a suitable core or foundation in
such a manner that the yarn and the wire are interwoven or alternate with each
other or I may adopt any mode of manufacture which can be employed in the
production of packings whereby I may be enabled to interweave or alternate threads
of suitable fibrous material with soft metallic wires or threads.
The yarn may before or after the manufacture of the packing be compounded or
charged with talc plumbago' animal fat or other suitable lubricating material or
compound.
In packing manufactured or constructed according to this Invention the
receptive or absorbent power of the yarn enables it to hold or retain the lubricant
while the metallic wire protects the packing from rapid wear.

page_text: I, CHARLES MOSELEY of the Chapel Field Works Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, Manufacturer, 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 :-

page_text: 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:-
(1) The construction or manufacture of steam packings from a fabric in which
soft metallic wires have been interwoven, substantially as hereinbefore set forth
and described.
(2) In the manufacture or construction of steam packing; paying, laying or
braiding the core of the packing with yarn and soft metallic wires, substantially as
hereinbefore set forth and described.
(3) In the manufacture or construction of steam packing; interweaving or
alternating threads of suitable fibrous material with soft metallic wires, substan-
tially as hereinbefore set forth and described.
