Year: 1859

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Isaac Martin Lindley, of Staley Bridge, in the
County of Chester, Currier and Leather Merchant, for the Invention of
"IMPROVEMENTS IN COP TUBES."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Isaac Martin Lindley
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on
the 29th July 1859.
I, ISAAC MARTIN LINDLEY, of Staley Bridge, in the County of Chester,
5 Currier and Leather Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN COP TUBES," to be as follows:-
I make the cop tubes of caoutchouc alone, or mixed or amalgamated with
any other suitable material, and I either mould or turn them by any suitable
machinery.

page_text: WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Twenty-ninth day of July, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine, in the twenty-third year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the
said Isaac Martin Lindley, Her special licence that I, the said Isaac
Martin Lindley, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others
as I, the said Isaac Martin Lindley, my executors, administrators, and assigns,
should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time and
at all times thereaftor during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully
might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN COP TUBES," upon the condition (amongst others) that I,
the said Isaac Martin Lindley, by an instrument in writing under my
hand and seal, should particularly describe and ascertain the nature of
the said Invention, and in what manner the same was to be performed,
and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six
calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said Letters
Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Isaac Martin Lindley, do hereby
declare the nature of my said Invention, and the manner in which the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement (that is to say) :-
I make the cop tubes either of a conical or other suitable form of caoutchouc,
generally called india-rubber, or compounds of caoutchouc and fibrous or
mineral substances, or a combination of cloth or woven fabric with caoutchouc
or other adhesive compound substance. The material, whilst in an un-
vulcanized state, is prepared into sheets of any required thickness or substance,
the said sheets are then cut into strips of an angular form, or to the segment
of a circle, and then rolled on a conical or other suitably shaped spindle, the
shape of the required tube. The tube thus formed is then vulcanized by any
of the ordinary processes, and may be afterwards turned or finished in a lathe
or other suitable manner, if necessary.
Having thus fully described the nature and particulars of my said Invention,
and the manner in which the same is to be performed, I desire it to be
distinctly understood that I do not claim any particular shape or form of the
tube, but I claim as my Invention, and which to the best of my knowledge
and belief has not been hitherto used within the realm, the application or use

page_text: of caoutchouc, either alone or mixed with woven fabrics, fibrous or mineral
substances, in the manufacture of cop tubes.
In witness whereof, I, the said Isaac Martin Lindley, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Twenty-fourth day of January, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty.
ISAAC MARTIN LINDLEY. (L.S.)
