Year: 1847

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, ELIZABETH
OUDINOT LUTEL, of Addle Street, in the City of London, Gentlewoman, send
greeting.
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by
Her Royal Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain, bearing date at Westminster, the Twenty-eighth day of
January, One thousand eight hundred and forty-seven, in the tenth year of
Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto
me, the said Elizabeth Oudinot Lutel, my executors, administrators, and
assigns, Her especial licence, full power, sole privilege and authority, that
I, the said Elizabeth Oudinot Lutel, my executors, administrators, and
assigns, or such others as I, the said Elizabeth Oudinot Lutel, my executors,
administrators, or assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from
time to time and at all times during the term of years therein expressed,
should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within England,
Wales, and the Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, the Invention for "PRODUCING
▲ CERTAIN TEXTURE ELASTIC IN SOME PARTS," communicated to me by
Monsieur Césear Luc Louis Oudinot, residing at Paris; in which said
Letters Patent is contained a proviso that I, the said Elizabeth Oudinot

page_text: Lutel, should particularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, by an instru-
ment in writing under my hand and seal, to be enrolled in Her said Majesty's
High Court of Chancery within six calendar months next and immediately
after the date of the said in part recited Letters Patent, as in and by the
same, reference being thereunto had, will more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Elizabeth Oudinot Lutel, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, are particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement in writing, reference being
had to the description herein contained, that is to say :-
The Invention consists in manufacturing a certain texture (such as has
hitherto been employed in the construction of stays, belts, stiffners, &c.) into
which elastic threads are so introduced that they produce elasticity in those
parts only. where it is desirable, according to the purposes to which that
texture is intended, and I obtain that tissue either with warp or weft, as
follows:-
In the first instance I introduce among the non-elastic threads of the
warp a certain number of elastic threads prepared by the usual mode too well
known to require any description, regulating at the same time the number of
theso clastic threads to be introduced to the width and use to which the tissue
is intended, and which produces the elasticity in a part only of its width.
When I operate by means of weft, I weave a certain extent of the tissue with
non-clastic threads; and I continue after, by means of the shuttle, to produce
another part with elastic threads, having always in view for those lengths the
use I have to make of the texture. By that means I produce the elasticity
in a part only of the length of the tissue.
I also apply the two modes of weaving, hercin-before described, to the
manufacture of a double tissue. This I obtain by the process usually employed
for producing a double texture; that is to say, by employing a double warp,
placed over and passed through a double harness, properly provided with sup-
plementary stitching treadles. By that operation the two tissues are united
together when required. For this double tissue I obtain also the elasticity, as
herein-before stated, by means of the warp or weft. In the first case, the
clastic threads are introduced into the warps in a manner similar to that
described when speaking of the single tissue. In the second instance, I weave
by means of the weft the elastic threads in a manner similar to that
employed for the double non-elastic texture. I operate alternatively on each of
the two warps, which are united at the required distances by the operation of

page_text: the stitching treadles. By means of the above-described Invention of a double
elastic material, I produce various articles, such as stiffners, belts, corsets, &c.,
but more especially the last-named article, corsets, which, whilst it enables
the wearer to contract the waist, &c., as much as she pleases, yet at the same
time is elastic, and thereby relieves the body from all those injurious effects
experienced from a non-elastic material.
And having now described the nature of the Invention communicated to
me, and the manner of performing the same, I would wish it to be understood
that I am well aware that a single cloth elastic in certain parts has been
already made, and therefore I do not claim such material. But what I do
claim as new, and as the Invention communicated to me, is the producing of
a double texture, elastic in some parts, as I have herein-before described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Elizabeth Oudinot Lutel, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Seventeenth day of July, One thousand
eight hundred and forty-seven.
