page_text: We, ROBERT MCLINTOCK and EDWARD MOLINTOCK both of Summer Lane,
Barnsley in the County of York Down Clothing Manufacturers do hereby declare
the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN DOWN QUILTS AND
CLOTHING APPLICABLE ALSO TO CURTAINS ANTIMACASSARS TABLE COVERS OR LIKE
ARTICLES to be as follows:-
"
Hitherto the system of making Down Quilts and Clothing has been to form
a covering by sewing or stitching two pieces of suitable material together with the
sewing machine which forms the pattern, a narrow flat braid or Cord being sewn
on the upper side of the covering the object of this being to cover the holes
perforated in the covering by the needle during the process of sewing and thus
prevent the escape of down at that side.
According to our Invention we add an additional braid or cord on the underside
of the covering both braids or cords with the covering being sewn together by one
and the same process of sewing thus effectually closing over the holes on both sides
of the covering and preventing any escape of down. When the braiding or cording
process is performed the down is afterwards blown into the spaces between the two
materials in the ordinary manner.
This process of double braiding or cording with the sewing machine at one and
the same time is applicable to the manufacture of Muslin or other materials used
for Curtains, Antimacassars Table covers and other similar articles.
