PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Semmy Hinrichsen and
Samuel Whitlow at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the
18th October 1883.
SEMMY HINRICHSEN of Manchester in the County of Lancaster, Merchant,
and SAMUEL WHITLOW, also of Manchester aforesaid, Merchant "IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE MANUFACTURE OF FABRICS USED FOR LINING ARTICLES OF CLOTHING,"
Our invention relates to that class of fabrics known as linings used for lining
articles of clothing, and consists in first dyeing or printing the said fabric with any
suitable colour or design or pattern, after which the said fabric is subjected to
a beetling, calendering with or without friction, hot pressing, or other finishing
process.
We then raise a "nap," or raised fibrous surface, upon one side or surface of the
above named fabric, by any of the methods ordinarily used for that purpose, and
in the case of printed fabrics, we form the nap or raised surface upon the side
opposite to the one printed upon.
We thus produce a fabric having a smooth finished surface at one side, and a
raised or fibrous surface at the other side, which fabric is better adapted for lining
articles of clothing than the fabrics hitherto produced.
The smooth surface of the fabric above referred to, is intended to be next to the
person of the wearer of articles of clothing lined therewith.
