Description
Nov. 8, 1932. E. A. MCCORMICK CLEANING OR POLISHING FABRIC AND METHOD OF PRCDUCING IT Filed July 22, 1931 Patented Nov. 8, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE EDWARD A. IECCORMICK, OF NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW ERSEY, ASSIGNQR TO CHICOFEE MANUFACTURING CORFORATION, OF NEW BRUNSWICK, JERSEY, A CORPORA- TION OF MASSACHUSETTS CLEANING- OR POLISHING FABRIC AND METHOD OF PRODUCING IT Application filed July 22,
The invention relates to a novel form of cleaning, dusting, or polishing cloth or fabric, and to a method of producing it.
The principal objects are to provide an open weave or permeable cleaning fabrlc of novel construction and arrangement whereby it may be used dry, as a duster, for general household use, or in association with soaps or detergents, or with polishing compounds, for cleaning and polishing woodwork, glass, metal, etc.; and to accomplish this in such way that the article can be produced and sold at such low cost that it will be an economy to use it if only once. The nature of the invention consists in manifolding a sheet or strip of textile fabric, such as cheese cloth, to provide a multiple ply fabric, in winding the same upon a flat sided mandrel or, alternatively, subjecting it to such other mechanical treatment as will put more or less strain or tension on the goods at regulated intervals in order thereby to 1mpart to the same a ribbed effect definedby substantially parallel, transversely ranging ridges or corrugations, which defined areas tend to soften the material and yet promote the frictional function thereof due to the dwells or interruptions, and also facilitates the association of cleaning or polishing compounds; in promoting the more or less permanency of said corrugations by subjecting the goods to dyeing or bleaching; and in then cutting the goods to predetermined lengths and winding each length or unit upon itself to form a roll or cylinder while yet possessing the ribbed effect; and in packaging a number of rolls of contrasting color.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of a package of cleaning or dusting cloths embodying features of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a view showing the manifolded or multi-ply construction or arrangement of the improved cleaning or dusting cloth.
Fig. 3 is a sectional detail showing one way of shaping the goods.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the new cloth partially unrolled to show the corrugations.
1931. Serial No. 552,536.
Fig. 5 shows the improved roll of cleaning or dusting, fabric.
According to my invention a web of open mesh fabric 5 of the nature of cheese cloth is plicated' or folded uponitself longitudinally as at 6, to provide preferably a fourply fabric. The folded strip 7 is then subjected to mechanical treatment, for example, by winding it upon a fiat sided mandrel 8 in order to put such regulated strain or tension upon it as will interrupt the smooth continuity of the strip by a ribbed effect defined by substantially parallel, transversely ranging ridges or.corrugations 8 with intervening lands or dwells 9. The, ofiice ofthese is, as v before stated, to promote the frictional action of the goods and to facilitate the association therewith of cleaning or polishing compounds.
Under the preferred practice, the creped or corrugated characteristic of the goods is attained by the use of a mandrel, such as 8, plus the action of a liquid having more or less stiffening or fixating properties and which well might be, for example, a liquid dye or bleach. Hence, it will be understood that the strip or web of goods, folded upon itself as hereinbefore stated, is wetted with the fixating liquid and wound upon the mandrel 8 or, alternatively, is wound first and then subjected to the action of the liquid. In any event, the Web is allowed to dry on the mandrel and is then cut to predetermined lengths and each unit is wound upon itself in such wayas to maintain the ribbed or corrugated effect. A number of fabric rolls 10 of contrasting color are packed in a carton 11 having a display window 12.
It will be manifest from the foregoing that by providing a multi-ply fabric of the nature of cheese cloth and by corrugating it in the manner described, there results a cleaning or polishing fabric of marked permeability and highly useful for cleaning or polishing high grade furniture, glass, metalware and the like.
Having described the invention, I claim 1. A cleaning or polishing fabric consisting of a strip of open weave textile material 100 in the form of superimposed folds and characterized by having corrugations.
2. A cleaning or polishing fabric consisting of plicated cheese cloth having crosswise ranging ribs defined by corrugations.
3. A cleaning or polishing fabric consisting of plicated cheese cloth having crosswise ranging ribs defined by corrugations manifested throughout the depth of the goods.
4:. A cleaning or polishing fabric consisting of plicated cheese cloth having crosswise ranging ribs defined by corrugations manifested throughout the depth of the goods and adapted to be nested when the fabric is rolled upon itself whereby the permanency of the corrugations is assured. e
5. The method of making soft polishing or cleaning fabric, which consists in winding a wet strip of plicated cheese cloth on a fiat sided mandrel and permitting it to dry thereon for the purpose and with the result of establishing a ribbed effect defined by corrugations at right angles to the plicating of the goods, severing the strip into appropriate lengths, and rolling each length upon itself with the corrugations in nested relation to substantially maintain the more or less permanency of the corrugations.
In testimony whereof, I alfix my signature.
EDWARD A. MCCORMICK.
