We, SALIS SCHWABE AND COMPANY LIMITED, of Rhodes Works, Middleton, in the
County of Lancaster, Calico Printers, and ROBIN BORAL, Chemist, and ARTHUR BINZ,
Ph.D. Chemist, both of the same address, do hereby declare the nature of this
Invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to a new or improved ornamentation of sarees, scarves, shawls
and similar fabrics having intermittent patterns or designs printed thereon by means
of engraved rollers which are moved into and out of contact with the fabric to print
and change the pattern at any desired interval.
In carrying our Invention into effect. we employ a suitable printing machine of the
type indicated and we print on the saree or similar article all or any part of the
pattern or design with a metallic powder mixed with some pigment material or sub-
stance such for example as china clay or the like which will inix mechanically without
combining chemically with the metallic powder. We fix this mixture on the fabric
by the use of any suitable thickening containing say starch, gum, albumen, or
varnish or india rubber dissolved in one of the usual solvents. We may or may not
subsequently mercerize the printed saree or like article by any of the well known
processes in order to produce crimped or crinkled effects or patterns.
In this manner we produce a novel article of manufacture and commercial product
of a highly attractive and ornamental appearance.
