rnoonss or nmaossme Application filed January To all w ll 0m it concern:

Be it known that a citizen of the United of New, York, in the I, HARRY F. Knnvnn,

States, and a resident county of NewYork and State of New York, have. invented a certain new and useful Hat Linings of Fabric Process of Embossing ing is a full, clear, and exact specification. This invention relates more particularly to a class of die stamping or printing'proc- GSSGS.

My invention has for its object primarily to provide a process of embossing especially fancy markson hat linings 0 designs, wording and distinctive f satin, silk and other fabrics in a manner whereby highly. artistic and simpler effects in plain and combination colors may be accomplished, and which over comes the objections to the present methods in use wherein the stamping or printing material tends to spread by being absorbed by the threads of the causes design.

The invention cont fabric which in turn blurred and unsightly lines in the emplates mainly the steps which consist of stamping on the lining a background layer in colors of a selective one or .more suitable design of adhesive material of a character which will not run or spread in the texture of the fabric, in order to provide sharp and even contour lines of the design. layeris printed by the On. the background use of a die a second selective design of preferably a color con trasting with the color of the background layer, and a coating 0 compound is provided on f meltable embossing the printed design.

The printed lining is then sub ected to heat for melting the embossing compound for producing the design in a clear effect.

artistic With these and other objects in view, the invention will be hereinafter more fully explained with reference a p to the accompanying art of this specification in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, and will then claims at the end 0 In the drawing, view showing part of is stamped a background layer my improved process.

Flg. 2 1s a fragment be pointed out in the f the description.

Figure 1 is a fragmentary a hat lining on which according to i any view showing the of which the follow-3 on NEW YORK, N. Y. HAT LININGS orrnnnrc.

portion of the hat lining having the second printing and embossing thereof as provided by the process, and

Fig. taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2.

' In: carrying into practice my process I hat lining, as v10, ofsatin, silk.

provide on a or otherfabric a background layer, as 11. This layer may be in plain or fanciful.v design, distinctive mark characteristic on wording or of the hats in the form of a selected TEsfPA-TENT O FICE 3 is a fragmentary sectional view which the" linings are to be used, and the layer is composed of meltable adhesive material which is stamped or impressed ou the lining by the use of a heated metal die, not shown, having astampingface of the'configuration of thebackground layer, as indicated in the line marklngs.

. The background layer is preferable pro-.

vided by being transferred from a sheet, such. 7

as paper which is coatedwith the adhesive material, and an illustrative formula for making the transfer sheet consists of alcohol,

1 approximately one .pint by measure, powdered French white, approximately onequarter pound by weight, powdered shellac, approximately one-quarter pound by weight, gum arabic, approximately one ounce by weight, and sufiicie-nt quantity of suitable color. I The ingredients are mixed in the alcohol and thoroughlytriturated by the use of appropriate means. until the. dissolved and. until those which are insoluble are held in sus will be transferred to the lining which in.

turn will provide the background layer 11 on the lining by adhering to the texture of I the lining material.

WVhen dry the background layer will have a glossy varnish like appearance in the color corresponding to the color of the coating of a pigment a sufficient arranged with its of the transfer sheet. On the background layer 11 is then printed a second selected design, as 12, by employing a second die of the desired design which is used in conjunction With a suitable printing press or apparatus, and while the impression of the second selective design is still wet, an embossing compound such as the well known mixture of powdered resin and shellac is applied as a coating on the design. The lining with the coating of embossing compound is subjected to heat in a suitable machine for melting the compound to complete the process.

In the foregoing I have embodied the preferred form of my process, but I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself thereto, as I am aware that modifications may be made therein without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advan tages of this invention, therefore, I reserve to myself the right to make such changes as fairly fall within the scope thereof.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a process of embossing hat linings of fabric, the steps which consist of stamping on the lining a background layer of adhesive material of a selected design, then printing on the background layer a second selected design by using a die, applying a coating of meltable embossing compound on the printed design and subjecting the printed lining to heat for melting the coating of embossing compound.

2. In a process of embossing hat linings of fabric, the steps which consistof stamp ing by a heated die on the lining a background layer of adhesive material of a selected design, then printing on the background layer a second selected design also by using a die, applying a coating of meltable embossing compound on the printed design and subjecting the printed lining to heat for melting the coating of embossing compound.

3. In a process of embossing hat linings of fabric, the steps which consists of providing on the lining a background layer of adhesive material of a selected design by transferring the layer from a sheet coated with the transfer. adhesive material, then printing on the background layer a second selected design by using a die, applying a coating of meltable embossing compound on the printed design and subjecting the printed lining to heat for melting the coating of embossing compound.

4. A process of embossing hat linings of fabric, which consists of arranging on the lining a sheet coated with meltable transferring adhesive material, impressing on the sheet a heated die of a selected design for providing on the lining a background layer of the design of the die, then printing on the background layer a second select-ed design by using another die, applying a coating of meltable embossing compound on the printed design and subjecting the printed lining to heat for melting the coating of embossing compound.

5. A process of embossing hat linings of fabric, which consists of arranging on the lining a sheet coated with melt-able transferring adhesive material of a selected color, impressing on the sheet a heated die of a selected design for providing on the lining a background layer, then printing on the background l yer by using another die a second selected design in a color contrasting from the color of the background layer, applying a coating of meltable transparent embossing compound on the printed design and subjecting the printed lining to heat for melting the coating of embossing compound.

This specification signed this 13th day of January A. D. 1926.
