UNITED STATES PATEN FFICE.
OAREAUGUST SITZLER, OF KITZINGEN, BAVARIA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF HIS RIGHT TO CHARLES THEODORE MEYER, OF JERSEY CITY, N. J.
IMPROVEMENT IN FELTED OIL-CLOTHS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 172,348, dated January 18, 1876 application filed October 21, 1875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CARL AUGUST SITZLER, of Kitzin gen, Bavaria, but at present residing at Elizabethport, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Felted Oil-.Oloth, of which the following is a specification This invention relates to a new manner of treating felted fabrics to render them useful as floor-cloths.
The invention consists in treating felted fabric with gum-catechu and bichromate of po- I t :ssa, and with oil-paint in the manner hereinafter specified, to produce a durable and water-proof oil-cloth.
To produce the felted fabric, I use, by preference, forty parts of bamboo fiber, twenty parts of cotton fiber, and forty parts of calfs hair, or the same ingredients in nearly the proportions named. In place of the cotton- I fiber Wool can be used, when a softer fabric is desired 5 or wool and cotton may be used together, in place of cotton or wool alone. The calfs hairis added to bind and hold the fibrous matter together, and to produce, therefore, a very strong fabric. After the substances above enumerated have been selected and mixed in about the proportions specified, they are felted together by any of the known means or processes of felting, or treated like paperpulp when a more compact fabric is required.
The above-described or any other felted fabric is thereupon treated as follows, to render it waterproof, and adapt it for use as a flooroloth. It is first steeped in a solution of gumcatechu in water, said solution containing also a small proportion of bichromate of potassa, in the proportion of about two ounces of. the latter ingredient to ten pounds of the gum. Dissolved glue may or may not be added to the solution, to serve as a sizing. Aiter steeping, the felted fabric is dried, and thereupon covered on both sides with oil-color of suitable kind. It may then be printed on one side in the same manner in which oilcloths are usually printed.
Felted fabric thus treated will be waterproof, invariably flexible, and very durable. It will better retain the color than the brittle oil-cloths now in use, and will not be injured by water.
I claim as my invention The within-described process of manufacturing felted oil-cloths by forming afelted fabric, and waterproofing the same by a treatment with a solution of gum-catechu and bichromate of potassa, and drying and finally painting it on both sides, substantially as described.
OARL AUGUST SITZLER.
