PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Ornamentation of Printed Woven Fabrics.
We, S. SCHWABE AND COMPANY LIMITED, of 41, George Street, Manchester, in
the County of Lancaster, Calico Printers, do hereby declare the nature of this in-
vention, which has been communicated to us by Paul Dosne, of Aglie, Piedmont,
Italy, Calico Printer, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the ornamentation of printed woven
fabrics.
In carrying the improvements into effect two or more colours are printed
simultaneously upon a woven fabric; one of these colours or more than one of
them is mixed with an ingredient or ingredients which will resist the action of
the raising rollers when the fabric is subsequently subjected to a napping or pile
raising operation in a gig mill; the remaining colour (or colours) is mixed with
an ingredient or ingredients which will not resist the action of the raising rollers,
so that the nap or pile will be raised in certain places and form a design or pattern
in one colour or in more than one colour while the remaining surface of the
cloth will be unaffected by the raising rollers.
Suitable ingredients to act as a resist in combination with colouring matters are
gum arabic and dextrine either alone or combined with zinc oxide, china clay or
other like agents.
Suitable ingredients to mix with the other colour or colours which are not
intended to resist the action of the raising rollers are gum tragacanth preferably
combined with hygroscopic and softening materials or substances as glycerine
and suitable fatty matters.

Improvements in the Ornamentation of Printed Woven Fabrics
We, S. SCHWABE AND COMPANY LIMITED, of 41, George Street, Manchester, in
the County of Lancaster, Calico Printers, do hereby declare the nature of this in-
vention, which has been communicated to us by Paul Dosne, of Aglie, Piedmont,
Italy, Calico Printer, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:―
This invention relates to improvements in the ornamentation of printed woven
fabrics.

them is mixed with an ingredient or ingredients which will resist the action of
the raising rollers when the fabric is subsequently subjected to a napping or pile
raising operation in a gig mill; the remaining colour (or colours) is mixed with
an ingredient or ingredients which will not resist the action of the raising rollers,
so that the nap or pile will be raised in certain places and form a design or pattern
in one colour or in more than one colour while the remaining surface of the
cloth will be unaffected by the raising rollers.
Suitable ingredients to act as a resist in combination with colouring matters are
gum arabic and dextrine either alone or combined with zinc oxide, china clay or
other like agents.
For example three to five pounds gum arabic or five to eight pounds dextrine
may be dissolved in a gallon of water and one pound or more or less of zinc oxide,
china clay or the like agent may be added to each gallon of the gum solution.
Suitable ingredients to mix with the other colour or colours which are not
intended to resist the action of the raising rollers are gum tragacanth preferably
combined with hygroscopic and softening materials or substances as glycerine
and suitable fatty matters.
The gum tragacanth is employed in solution of suitable strength and in the
ordinary way well understood by calico printers, and if glycerine or, the like is
employed it may be added in the proportion of say one part to twenty of the
gum tragacanth solution.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. A. woven fabric having two or more colours printed on it by a simultaneous
process of calico printing one colour (or more than one) being combined with
an ingredient or ingredients as herein specified which will resist the napping or
pile raising action of the raising rollers of a gig mill and the remaining colour
(or colours) being combined with an ingredient or ingredients as herein specified
which will not resist the action of the raising rollers.
2. Printing simultaneously two or more colours on a woven fabric one such
colour (or, more than one) being combined with the specified ingredient or in-
gredients to resist the action of the raising rollers to which the fabric is sub-
sequently subjected and the remaining colour (or colours) being combined with
the specific ingredient or ingredients which will not resist the action of the
raising rollers.
