ور
Communicated to me from abroad by Madame Veuve Leon Godefroy and Louis
Lanselle both of Paris in the Republic of France,
In printing cylinders have hitherto always been employed and for some time
since sectioned cylinders have been used and this invention has reference to a new
or improved process for the application of chineeing by mechanical means with
section cylinders.
This process is composed of two distinct parts which by their combination produce
the required industrial result.
The first part which may be called the chemical part that is to say which has
reference to a series of operations which produce the printing.
The second part comprises the mechanical part or the mechanical means used.
When a textile is to be chineed it has to be first perfectly washed and is then passed
through a bath of gum of this or that kind and afterwards it is dried with a covering
of the said gum either in the open air or in a stove. When this is done the
material is ready for chineeing. The said material is always held between three
sticks in order it is not touched by the fingers.
The mechanical means employed are as follows:-The machine is furnished with
spikes pins or tenter hooks to which the textile is fixed it is then chineed in the
way hereinafter described, when the chineeing is completed the textile is taken off,
it is then dried and afterwards operated upon by means of steam in order to fix
C

page_text: the colors and then it is thoroughly washed and dried again and so the work
is done.
The machine consists of a frame with a printing table upon which two rollers
may revolve, sliding in a slot the said rollers being acted upon by means of two
levers and a bar, in order to impart to them a forward and backward motion. The
rollers are composed of discs mounted side by side upon an axle but between the
said discs there is a slight space maintained by suitable rings. The said rollers
may be composed of discs of different thicknesses according to the width of the
lines required
Each of these discs receive the color which is to be printed, and thus a great
variety of colors may be produced
To put the color on the rollers the following means are used :-
Small tubs with cylindrical brushes inside are placed upon a table. The
cylindrical brushes are also composed of discs corresponding with the discs of the
rollers which take the color carried by the brushes
If for instance, the fifth, seventh, fourteenth and twenty first discs of the roller
are to print blue the brush revolving in the tub of blue will be composed only of
four discs which will be kept at a convenient distance one from another by means of
rings and will carry the color to the corresponding discs of the roller.
The textile to be printed is placed upon the printing table in the direction of the
width of the machine that is to say in a direction parallel to the axle of the roller.
The height of the said printing table may be regulated by means of two screws
It is to be noticed that in this machine two printing rollers are provided.
This is done in order that the distance between the discs might be greater so as
to prevent the mixing of one color with another and to facilitate the placing of color
upon the said rollers, one of the rollers in this combination may print between the
parts worked by the other roller.
To ensure the neatness of the shades metallic wires are placed at right angles
with the textile and between the different shades the said wires being taut upon
the textile prevent the mixing of the colors.
The tubs being of a small size a reservoir may be placed on one side of the
machine to feed the said tubs. In order to facilitate the rollers to take the color
the said rollers and brushes may revolve one upon another by means of a mechanical
arrangement of this or that kind.
The working of the process is as follows:-
The textile to be printed is fixed upon the printing table by means of convenient
spikes pins or tenter hooks the discs of the rollers and the cylindrical brushes are
so arranged as to produce the required coloring and the wires cover the spaces
between the shades. Then a workman by means of the levers and the bar gives a
forward motion upon the textile to the one of the rollers, which revolves across the
printing table and is afterwards pulled backward, when a forward motion is given
to the second roller which is worked in the same manner as the first one.
The textile is then taken off and submitted to the treatment before described.

« NEW OR IMPROVED PROCESS FOR CHINEEING
TEXTILES BY MULTICHROMATIC PRINTING AND THE MEANS OR APPLIANCES
THEREFOR" a communication to me from Abroad by Madame Veuve Lèon Godefroy
and Louis Lanselle both of Paris France
In printing, cylinders have hitherto always been employed and for some time
since "sectioned cylinders" have been used and this Invention has reference to a
new or improved process for the application of chineeing by mechanical means with
section cylinders.
This process is composed of two distinct parts which by their combination
produce the required industrial result.
The first part which may be called the chemical part that is to say which has
reference to a series of operations which produce the printing.
The second part comprises the mechanical part or the mechanical means used.
When a textile is to be chineed it has to be first perfectly washed and is then
passed through a bath of gum of this or that kind and afterwards it is dried with
a covering of the said gum, either in the open air or in a stove. When this is
done the material is ready for chineeing. The said material is always held between
three sticks in order that it is not touched by the fingers.
The mechanical means employed are as follows:-The machine is furnished
with spikes, pins or tenter hooks to which the textile is fixed; it is then chineed in
the way hereinafter described; when the chineeing is completed the textile is taken
off, it is then dried and afterwards operated upon by means of steam in order to
fix the colors and then it is thoroughly washed and dried again and so the work is
done.
The machine consists of:-a frame A with a printing table B upon which two
rollers C and C¹ may revolve, sliding in a slot D. the said rollers being acted
upon by means of two levers a, b, and a bar, in order to impart to them a forward
and backward motion.
The rollers C and C¹ are composed of discs E mounted side by side upon an axle
(see Fig. 2) but between the said discs there is a slight space maintained by suitable
rings. The said rollers may be composed of discs of different thicknesses according
to the width of the lines required.
Each of these discs receive the color which is to be printed and thus a great
variety of colors may be produced.
To put the color on the rollers the following means are used :-
Small tubs I with cylindrical brushes K inside, are placed upon a table H. The
cylindrical brushes K are also composed of discs corresponding with the discs of the
rollers which take the color carried by the brushes.
If for instance, the fifth, seventh, fourteenth and twenty first discs of the
roller are to print blue the brush revolving in the tub of blue will be composed only
of four discs which will be kept at a convenient distance one from another by
means of rings and will carry the color to the corresponding discs of the roller.
The textile to be printed is placed upon the printing table B in the direction
of the width of the machine that is to say in a direction parallel to the axle of
the roller-The height of the said printing table may be regulated by means of
two screws M. It is to be noticed that in this machine two printing rollers are

page_text: provided. This is done in order that the distance between the discs might be
greater, so as to prevent the mixing of one color with another and to facilitate the
placing of color upon the said rollers; one of the rollers in this combination, may
print between the parts worked by the other roller.
To ensure the neatness of the shades, metallic wires are placed at right angles
with the textile and between the different shades; the said wires being taut upon
the textile prevent the mixing of the colors.
The tubs I being of small size, a reservoir may be placed on one side of the
machine to feed the said tubs.
In order to assist the rollers in taking the color, the said rollers and brushes may
revolve one upon another by means of a mechanical arrangement of this or that
kind.
The working of the process is as follows:-
The textile to be printed is fixed upon the printing table by means of convenient
spikes, pins or tenter hooks the discs of the rollers and the cylindrical brushes K
are so arranged as to produce the required coloring and the wires cover the spaces
between the shades. Then a Workman by means of the levers a, b. and the bar c
gives a forward motion upon the textile to one of the rollers C which revolves
across the printing tablo and is afterwards pulled backward, when a forward
motion is given to the second roller C' which is worked in the same manner as
the first one.
The textile is then taken off and submitted to the treatment before described.
Having now described the nature and particulars of the said Invention I
claim-
Firstly. The new or improved process for chineeing textiles by multichromatic
printing in combination with the hereinbefore described machine constructed and
operating as and for the purpose herein setforth and as shown by the accompanying
sheet of drawings
Secondly. In the process of chineeing textiles the treatment with Gum of the
material to be printed together with the mode of putting in the color thereby
permitting the use of very lively shades of color as and for the purpose herein set-
forth.
Thirdly. In the process of chineeing textiles, the treatment by two or more
rollers as herein described which by combining their effects affords facility and
surety of treatment which cannot be obtained with a single roller such two or
more rollers being constructed and operating as herein described and as shewn by
the accompanying Sheet of Drawings.
Fourthly. The new or improved method of putting in the color for chineeing as
herein described.
Fifthly. In the process for chineeing textiles by multichromatic printing the
means or appliance therefor constructed and operating as and for the purpose herein
setforth and as described in reference to and shown by the accompanying Sheet of
drawings.
In witness whereof I the said Walter Alfred Barlow have hereunto set my
hand and seal this fifth day of February in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and eighty three
