' ject of completelyremovin UNITED s'r 'rs Pa No Drawing.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EnuARn- S'rEIonR, a:
citizen of the Re ublic of Switzerland siding at Villa K einberg No. 3', St. Gallen, Switzerland, have invented new and useful Improvements in Methods of Bleaching;
and I do hereby declare the following to be.
a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to a new and improved method of completely bleachingggt tg n and linen yarns, tissues,- e'mbroideries etc.
The improved method consists of a series of operatlons viz. a preliminary treatment by which the fats and oils and where necessary, the dressing are removed and the bleaching proper by a slightly acid bath of perman anate which is fol owed b removed. But when the. ware contains non- ,saponifiable fats, such as hydrocarbons, min-- eral oils or paraffins these are not dissolved and therefore remain in the merchandise wholly or partly. Such merchandise which n stances cons uenceof the action of the fatty matter w ichhas not been removed. This yelerfectly free from all fatty subiias a tendency toyellow later 'on m lowing may cause great dama for the value of a textile merchandise w ich is even only partly yellowed is considered to be v'er much reduced, 1 p
.Pi xtracting the fattysubstance has the oball fatty substances, also the non-saponi able ones, from the yarns, tissues and embroiderles to be a bath of soda an means for preventing ye lowing of the were through overbleachlng.

l bleached and at the same time to obtain these fatty substances as byproducts. With this obyect in view the (yarns, tissues or embroideries are extracte with a solvent for fats and hydrocarbons in a suitable apparatus such as a Soxhlet siphon apparatus,
search iilll'llll andthus all fatty matter is'removed from them. As solvents for the fatt matter petroleum ether or benzin, chlori of ethylene, carbon tetrachlorid or mixtures of these extracting means may be employed. Cotton or linen merchandise which in the manner indicated has been carefully fatty matter may, after the dressing has been removed, be subjected to a bleaching process with the result that this process is freed from all much shorter than it was hitherto and thatthe tediousbucking process and'the use of soap are entirely done away with. This latter circumstance has the further advantag that the diiiiculties adhering to the use 0 lime soap for the bleaching are eliminated, for it is known that often yellowing is caused by lime soap remaining in the merchandise. r
The extraction of fatty matter has the following main advantages: It renders possible the removal of'fatty matter to any 'de sired degree in a short time and thus'pnevents yellowing through remaining fatty matter; it has the advantage thatno more consideration will have to be had of the na-x 'tureof the fats contained in the merchan dise- For example inthe case of embroiderles manufactured on. machines lubricated with mineral ()ll lb may occur-that someoll adheres to the were, As this oil is non saponifiable it remained in the were when the latter was bleached by the socailed English bleaching process, and the consequence was that the ware yellowed andwas spoiled into a solution as diastase which has a temperatirre of about 50 to 5 centigrade. This resume temperature must be maintained during the times, the merchandise will as a rule be comtreatment. Diestase changes the dressing pletcly bleached.
