Description

Patented Mar. 14, 19 33 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HARRY W. TURNER, OF SCHENECTADY, YORK, ASSIGN OR TO GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPAINY, A. CORPORATION OF'NEW YORK METHOD or MAKING TExTILE MATERIAL PERMANEN'ILY FLEXIBLE, wEaTn'Enrnoor,
' AND FIRE RESISTANT No Drawing. Application filed March 25,
The present invention relates broadly to a method of treating textile materials and is more specifically concerned with a simple method whereby textile material, for example, canvas, is treated so that it is permanent- 1y flexible in character, dust proof and resistant to fire and weather.
In the construction of electrical apparatus the need often arises for flexible insulation embodying textile material. Textile material, such as canvas, has heretofore been employed for the purpose, but ditficulties have arisen in that the material was not fire-proof and especially susceptible to fire from sparks generated in or near the electrical apparatus. The material was therefore treated to render it less inflammable but usually such treatment was not only expensive but in addition did not give a permanently flexible product,
In accordance with my discovery I have efiected a simple process whereby I can easily and economically treat textile fabrics in order to render them permanently flexible, dust proof, weather reslstant and fire resistant, especially from sparks, without impairing, and in fact, enhancing the insulation value of the material.
In order that my invention may be better understood and practiced by those skilled in.
the art to which it pertains I shall describe the process I employ more in detail.
Suitable textile material, for example, 12- ounce duck is first singed on both surfaces. Powdered filling material, for example, talc or soapstone is then incorporated therewith, for instance, by rubbing and kneading it into the pores of the material. This fills in the cellular air spaces in the material rendering it air tight and substantially non-inflammable and supplies in addition a dry lubricant to the material. The treated material is now immersed in and thoroughly impregnated with degelled oil which, as is known, is oil which has been caused to reliquefy by "heat after having previously been gelled; for
example, the material is soaked in degelled linseed oil varnish for about 10'minutes. The degelled oil binds all of the components toether and renders the product permanently 1932. Serial No. 601,304.
drained and air dried for about hours,
after which more powdered talc or soapstone is rubbed and kneaded into the pores of the material.
The product obtained by the above treatment'has been found to be excellent in pro-- longed service tests as regards flexibility,
non-inflammability and weather resistant my hand.
