Complete Accepted, 27th Sept., 1887,
I, FREDERICK HERBERT GOSSAGE, of Widnes, in the County of Lancaster, Soap
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
My Invention relates to the covering packing, or "making up" of soap that is to
say to the covering, or wrapping up of soap with covers of paper, or like, or equivalent
material.
?
In packing, or making up according to my Invention the soap is provided with
a cover, or wrapper of a suitable pliable material such as paper, preferably parchment
paper, which is applied to the soap in such a condition and in such a manner (such as
hereinafter described) as will cause the paper or other equivalent material to adhere
to the soap. The extent, or intensity of adhesion of the paper or other cover to the
soap is preferably such as will admit of its being cleanly peeled off; that is to say
the paper or other covering, or wrapper shall be capable of being easily removed from
the soap.
The method which I prefer to employ and by which the adhesive effect above
specified may be obtained consists in first damping the wrapping material by any
suitable liquid, or fluid such as water, or steam and applying the damped wrapping
material directly onto and around the soap. Pressure is then applied to the soap so
wrapped. This may be suitably effected by ordinary pressing machinery. By this
means of applying the pressure the covering, or wrapper may be made to readily and
rapidly adhere to the soap to the necessary extent. The adhesiveness in this case is
obtained by the action of the dampness of the paper upon the surface of the soap and
thus the application of a glutinous, or viscous liquid to obtain adhesiveness is not
required.

page_text: In lieu of the cover being damped as above described the soap may be damped and
the wrapping material applied dry. Or both the cover and the soap may be damped
prior to the cover being applied. Or in cases where the soap or the wrapper has a
sticky surface the cover may be applied without previous damping, the adhesion being
effected by pressure obtained by suitable machinery as above specified.
The covers may be applied to soap in the form of tablets, or bars and such tablets
or bars may have plain surfaces, or their surfaces may have impressions and other
irregularities, such as divisions, grooves, ornamental designs words and the like.

I, FREDERICK HERBERT GOSSAGE, of Widnes, in the County of Lancaster, Soap
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
My Invention relates to the covering packing, or "making up" of soap, that is to
say, to the covering of, or wrapping up bars, blocks, or tablets of soap with covers of
paper, cloth, or like, or equivalent material.
In packing, or "making up" according to my Invention, the soap is provided with
a cover, or wrapper of suitable pliable material such as paper-preferably parchment
paper or textile fabric such as thin calico, or linen which is applied to the soap in
such a condition and in such a manner (as hereinafter described) as will cause the
paper or other equivalent material to adhere to the soap. The extent, or intensity of
adhesion of the paper, or other cover to the soap is preferably such as will admit of
its being cleanly peeled off; that is to say, the paper, or other covering, or wrapper
shall be capable of being easily removed from the soap.
The method which I prefer to employ and by which the adhesive effect above
specificed may be obtained consists in first damping the wrapping material by any
suitable liquid, or fluid such as water, or steam and applying, or wrapping the damped
wrapping material directly onto and around the soap. Pressure
then applied to
the soap so wrapped. This may be effected by any known suitable pressing
machinery, for instance that employed in pressing soap bars and tablets may be used
for the purpose. By this means of applying the pressure, the covering, or wrapper
may be made to readily and rapidly adhere to the soap to the necessary extent.
adhesiveness in this case is obtained by the action of the dampness of the paper upon
the surface of the soap and thus the application of a glutinous, or viscous liquid to
obtain adhesiveness is not required.
The
In lieu of the cover being damped as above described the soap may be damped and
the wrapping material applied dry. Or both the cover and the soap may be damped
prior to the cover being applied. Or in cases where the soap, or the wrapper has a
sticky surface the cover may be applied without previous damping, the adhesion being
effected by pressure obtained by suitable machinery as above specified.
The covers may be applied to soap in the form of tablets, or bars and such tablets,
or bars may have plain surfaces, or their surfaces may have impressions and other
irregularities; such as divisions, grooves, ornamental designs, words and the like as
commonly practised.

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 :-
First. The herein described method of packing, or "making up" soap, consisting
essentially of covering soap with a pliable material such as paper, or textile fabric,
such material being made to adhere to the soap by moisture applied to the covering
material, or soap, substantially as set forth.
Second. The herein described method of packing, or "making up" soap having a
sticky surface consisting essentially of covering soap with a pliable material such as
paper, or textile fabric and effecting the adhesion of the covering material to the soap
by pressing it upon the surface of the soap substantially as set forth.
