page_text: I, MARLBOROUGH CONRATH, of No 15 North Audley Street, Grosvenor Square
in the County of Middlesex, Upholsterer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the manufacture of material embossed with ornamental
design, in continuous lengths, such as may be used for decorating walls and other
surfaces, the material being flexible and elastic, impervious to damp and non
absorbent of vapours or infectious matters.
+
For this purpose, I cover with brown paper, or paper of equivalent stiffness, the.
textile backing of fabric similar to thin kamptulicon, causing the paper to adhere;
to it by paste or other suitable cement and passing the whole in continuous lengths.
between pressing rollers. After the composite material is dry, I pass it between
rollers, one of which is heated, these rollers being engraved, the one in relief the
other in counterpart intaglio, with any desired design. The material becomes.
thus embossed, the design appearing in relief on the kamptulicon face, and it can
be used for decorating walls and other surfaces by applying it thereto like paper.
hangings. The design presented on the kamptulicon face can be coloured, gilt or
otherwise ornamented. By thus combining kamptulicon, which is very flexible.
and elastic, waterproof and non absorbent, with paper backing which gives it
stiffness, the compound material, whilst it can be readily embossed, is sufficiently.
rigid and resilient to retain the prominence of the parts raised by ein bossing, or
to make them resume their prominence when they are forced in by temporary
pressure.

and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
