Definitions
- the palmetto fiber is prepared as follows: The material must be gathered while green, and put through a suitable machine to slit or shred it. Such a machine is shown in Patent No. 201,269, of March 12, 1878; but any other suitable machine may be used to carry out this part of our process.
- the fiber is then curled or kinked into a rope or braid by any well-known machine, similar to that used for curling hair or twisting rope.
- This curling or kinking can best be done while the material is I only partially dry,-as it, takes the kink or curl best at this stage.
- the material thus formed from palmetto leaves, stalks, and buds, when prepared for market as herein described, is a firm, compact, and elastic fiber, well calculated to resist the action of a damp atmosphere, and without smell or dust, and retains elasticity longer than any other upholstery material.
- a palmetto fiber when treated as herein described to produce a fine fiber,'kinked or curled substantially as described, and for the purposes specified.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE F. MILLER, OF JACKSONVILLE, AND WASHINGTON G. BENEDICT, OF ORANGE PARK, FLA.; SAID MILLER ASSIGNOR TO SAID BENEDICT.
IMPROVEMENT IN TREATING PALMETTO FIBER FORUSE IN THE ARTS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 203,177, dated April 30, 1878 application filed- March 30, 1878.- I
to commerce, to be used for and in the manu-' facture of bedding, and for all uph olsterin g purposes, of which the following is a specification The nature of our invention consists in the treatment of the palmetto leaves, stalks, and buds in the manner hereinafter described, to make a superior elastic fiber for all upholsterin g purposes, filling mattresses, stufiing car-cushions,for sleeping-car beds, for bedding on shipboard, (as it does not absorb ,moisture,) for horse-collars, and all uses where an article is required of the nature of curled hair of commerce. V
The palmetto fiber is prepared as follows: The material must be gathered while green, and put through a suitable machine to slit or shred it. Such a machine is shown in Patent No. 201,269, of March 12, 1878; but any other suitable machine may be used to carry out this part of our process.
The fiber is then curled or kinked into a rope or braid by any well-known machine, similar to that used for curling hair or twisting rope. This curling or kinking can best be done while the material is I only partially dry,-as it, takes the kink or curl best at this stage. After it is twisted into a rope it is subjected to the action of hot air until perfectly dry and the kink or twist thoroughly set. It can be dried by exposure to the sun; but the time required is longer. It is then put in bales, similar to baled hay, for shipment.
In the hands of the consumer, it may be picked apart by hand or by a simple machine used by upholsterers for picking curled hair.
By our invention or discovery we bring into use a vast amount of material which has heretofore been neglected and useless for any purposes.
The material thus formed from palmetto leaves, stalks, and buds, when prepared for market as herein described, is a firm, compact, and elastic fiber, well calculated to resist the action of a damp atmosphere, and without smell or dust, and retains elasticity longer than any other upholstery material.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. As a new article of manufacture, a palmetto fiber, when treated as herein described to produce a fine fiber,'kinked or curled substantially as described, and for the purposes specified.
2. The process herein described of making an elastic fiber of palmetto for upholstering purposes, which consists in stripping the leaves, stalks, or buds of the palmetto into shreds, and then kinking, and afterward twisting the fiber into a rope.
3. The process, &c., which consists in stripping palmetto leaves, 860., into shreds, kinking,'and afterward twisting the fiber into a rope while green or wet, then drying, and afterward picking apart for use.
