Year: 1867

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Edward Reed Sintzenich, of Duke Street, Saint
James's, in the County of Middlesex, for the Invention of "IMPROVE.
MENTS IN THE TREATMENT OF PAPER AND CERTAIN WOVEN FABRICS FOR
RENDERING THEM ORNAMENTAL AND DURABLE AS ARTICLES OF DRESS, AND FOR
DECORATIVE AND ORNAMENTAL PURPOSES."
Sealed the 5th June 1868, and dated the 12th December 1867.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Edward Reed Sintzenich
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
12th December 1867.
I, EDWARD REED SINTZENICH, of Duke Street, Saint James's, in the County
of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "Im-
PROVEMENTS IN THE TREATMENT OF PAPER AND CERTAIN WOVEN FABRICS FOR
RENDERING THEM ORNAMENTAL AND DURABLE AS ARTICLES OF DRESS, AND
DECORATIVE AND ORNAMENTAL PURPOSES," to be as follows:-
The improvements consist in making up the article from or out of com-
paratively small pieces of the material by fastening the pieces togather by
means of rivets or clips instead of sewing them, and includes specially the
making them up from or out of pieces of paper or paper cloth, woven fabrics,
or material of a like description by fastening the pieces togather in the mode
above set forth. Also in decorating, varnishing, and coating paper, or paper
cloth, woven fabric, or material of alike description, with my approved solution
[Prine Rd1

page_text: of gutta percha, indian-rubber, or similar gum, with or without coloring matter,
to produce a material or stuff specially adapted to the use set forth. The
Invention admits of the use of small or almost waste pieces of paper, silk, or
other stuff, which may be folded into parts of bows or ties or arranged to
imitate pleats, and the rivets or clips may be similar to the ordinary paper
binders or fasteners (used by law stationers and others) which have been
introduced withins the last few years. When paper is used it may be plain or
printed, or ornamental, or embossed, or decorated, the varnish or solution
may be applied hot or cold, mixed with pigments or without, and its effect
will be to produce an imitation silky appearance or simply by the complete or
partial saturation of the paper, or paper cloth, or material to render it tougher
and stronger and waterproof; with one or any of those qualities it may be
used not only in the manufacture of the articles named but in larger pieces
for hats, caps, waistcoats, coat, decorative symboles, and the various more
substantial articles of dress, also for curtains, vallances, and coverings for
furniture, for lamp shades, for ornamental cases or boxes for stationary, fruit,
cigars, jewellery, &c.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed
by the said Edward Reed Sintzenich in the Great Seal Patent Office on
the 10th June 1868.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, EDWARD
REED SINTZENIOH, of Duke Street, Saint James's, in the Connty of Middlesex,
send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Twelfth day of December, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, in the thirty-first year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the
said Edward Reed Sintzenich, Her special license that I, the said Edward Reed
Sintzenich, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the
said Edward Reed Sintzenich, my executors, administrators, and assigns,should
at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all times there-
after during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make,
use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVE-
.MENTS IN THE TREATMENT OF PAPER AND CERTAIN WOVEN FABRICS FOR RENDERING
THEM ORNAMENTAL AND DURABLE AS ARTICLES OF DRESS, AND FOR DECORATIVE AND

page_text: ORNAMENTAL PURPOSES," upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the said
Edward Reed Sintzenich, my executors or administrators, by an instrument in
writing under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should par-
ticularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in
what manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed
in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and
immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Edward Reed Sintzenich, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement thereof, that is to say:-
The improvements consist in making up the articles from or out of com-
paratively small pieces of the material and specially from or out of pieces of
paper, or paper cloth, woven fabrics, or materials of a like description by
fastening the pieces together by means of rivets or clips instead of sewing
them together.
And also the improvements consist in decorating, varnishing, and coating
paper, or paper cloth, woven fabrics, or material of a like description with
any approved solution of gutta percha, india-rubber, or similar gum, with or
without coloring matter, to produce a material or stuff specially adapted to
the use set forth.
And the manner in which the said Invention is to be and may be performed
is as follows:-One main purpose contemplated by the Invention is the inex-
pensive manufacture of neck ties or imitation neck ties or bows and such
like articles of dress, for which purpose it admits of the use of the sinall or
almost waste pieces of paper, silk, or other stuff which may be folded into
parts of bows or ties or arranged to imitate pleats, and the rivets or clips
may be similar to the ordinary paper binders or fasteners (used by law
stationers and others) which have been introduced within the last few years.
The two ends of the tie or bow and the centre portion which crosses at the
middle may be each made of a separate piece of the material and to suit the
taste or style desired. And the back upon which the bow or tie is to be
fastened for use and which passes under a turn-down collar (or around the
neck where a standing collar is used) may be made of cardboard or other
suitable material covered with silk or other woven fabric where desired, and
cut of the proper width, a small hole being punched in the centre at the
point where the bow or tie proper is to be affixed. In securing the parts
together the two ends are to be crossed or placed relatively as desired, and
the points of a small brass T-shaped clip or paper fastener to be pressed and

page_text: passed through them, then the centre portion is to be folded round the middle
of the two ends and its extremities pressed and passed on to the clip, then a
small elastic ring (a slice or portion of a piece of elastic tubing will serve) is
to be threaded or passed over both points of the clip, and lastly these are to
be passed through the punched hole in the cardboard back (and of its
covering material if covered), and one pressed down upon each side of the
aperture, thus securing the whole firmly together and leaving the elastic ring
full play to be placed around the button or stud usually worn on the neck-
band of all shirts. Where the tie is to be used with a standing collar the
back must be cut so as to go around the neck and to fasten with an elastic
ring or button hole at the back of the neck. The ties and bows may be varied
according to fashion, and any material used, a very satisfactory and pretty
effect being obtained by the use of properly prepared or ornamental paper
either plain or colored. Rosettes and other emblems can be constructed in a
similar manner without the cost or loss of time now entailed by sewing, and,
having the advantage of perfect security and firmness of construction. When
paper is the material employed it may be plain, or printed, or ornamental, or
embossed, or decorated, and when a varnish or solution is used it may be
applied hot or cold mixed with pigments or without, and its effect will be to
produce an imitation silky appearance or simply by the complete or partial
saturation of the paper, or paper cloth, or material to render it tougher, and
stronger, and waterproof. With one or any of those qualities it may be used
not only in the manufacture of the articles named but in larger pieces for hats,
caps, waistcoats, coats, decorative symbols, and the various inore substantial
articles of dress, also for curtains, vallances, and coverings for furniture, for
lamp shades, for ornamental cases or boxes for stationery, fruit, cigars,
jewellery, and other articles.
In witness whereof, I, the said Edward Reed Sintzenich, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Tenth day of June, in the year of our
Lord Oue thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight.
