PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Tissues for Mattresses and Bedding having the Design or Pattern
Printed thereon.
I, ADOLF ANDREAS MARKH of Göppingen in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
According to the existing system, in tissues intended' for mattresses and bedding
generally, the threads are first dyed and afterwards woven my invention consists
in printing the tissues themselves, in the piece, that is to say the textile materials
are woven without being coloured, and, when completed the tissue receives the
pattern or design. The pattern or design thus applied after wearing, may be of a
kind which would be attainable, only with difficulty, on the old plan and, at the
same time, a saving of from 40 to 50 per cent. is effected by my process of printing
on the piece.
The colours show well and the good effect thus produced, combined with cheapness,
should give materials treated by my process an undoubted preference. Moreover,
certain flower patterns, impossible to produce by the old method in a manner which
would leave the material sufficiently close to keep out dust and retain the feathers,
can be communicated by my process of printing on the tissue.
The tone and harmony of the colours can be secured much more perfectly by. my
improved method and the tissues are much less subject to deterioration by light and
sunshine than has been hitherto attainable, while washing or cleaning can be much
easier performed than is the case at present.

I, ADOLF ANDREAS MARKH of Göppingen in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is
to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
According to the existing system, in tissues intended for mattresses and bedding
generally the threads are first dyed and afterwards woven; my invention consists in

saving of from 40 to 50 per cent. is effected by my process of printing on the piece.
The colours show well and the good effect thus produced, combined with cheapness,
should give materials treated by my process an undoubted preference. Moreover
certain flower patterns, impossible to produce by the old method in a manner which
would leave the material sufficiently close to keep out dust and retain the feathers,
can be communicated by my process of printing on the tissue.
The tone and harmony of the colours can be secured much more perfectly by my
improved method and the tissues are much less subject to deterioration by light and
sunshine than has been hitherto attainable, while washing or cleaning can be much
easier performed than is the case at present.
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 :-
(1) A process of manufacturing tissues for mattresses and bedding consisting in the
application on raw tissues of designs or patterns by means of printing.
(2) As an improved article of manufacture tissues for mattresses and bedding
having the design or pattern printed thereon.
