Be it known that I, RUDOLPH ScnoLIen, a subject of the King of Saxony, residing at Dresden-Altstadt, Saxony, in the Empire of Germany, have invented a certain new, usefnl, and Improved Manufacture of Sanitary Paper or Material for Toilet Purposes, of -which the'following is a specification. Y

The material for toilet purposes according to the present invention' is destined to replace the generally-used paper,which is not usually made specially for the purpose, and for this reason, as well as for others, is not always suitable. to paper in its use and is of especial value to persons suffering from hemorrhoids, abscesses, or other complaints.

The material according to the present invention consistsof a sheet or strip of thin impermeable paper and a thin 'layer or sheet of cotton-wool secured to the paper. The two constituent parts should be chemically puro; bntthe cotton-wool may be also prepared or impregnated with antiseptic substances. For instance, carbolic Wool may be used. In use the layer of the cotton-wool Vis of course applied dircct-ly to the body, the layer of paper givin g to the thin layer of cotton-Wool strength By this combination of paper and cottonwool the new material offers the advantages mentioned over paper only, whereas it is much better than cotton-wool alone, as it is cleaner to use and cheaper.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the materialin dierent forms.

Figure l shows a sheet of the material according to the present invention in elevation, Fig. 2 is a vertical section of Fig. li Fig. 3 shows a block consisting of several sheets attached new cotton-wool paper.

Throughout the drawings, (L is the sheet or strip of paper, and b the layer of cotton-wool. In one forni, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the material may be made for use in separate sheets of suitable size, or several sheets may be combined in asingle block, Fig. 3. In order not to damage the layer of cotton-wool The new material is much superior l p Fig.,f.i. shows aroll of the new ma` tcrial, and Fig. g5 shows a cover suitable for packing or holding one orrmorc sheets of the perforated edge of the paper c c-that is to say, the layer of paper may project tothe extent of the strip a' slightly beyond the layer Vof cotton-wool, saidV projecting strips being connected together. In order'to equalize the A thickness o f the block throughout, cardboard strips dA of the saine thickness as the cottonwool layers may be placed between the strips a. The paper-layer surface Vis preferably placed outward, so as to keep the layer of cotton-wool clean.

A strip S, Fig. 4, of the material may be rolled on a spoole, having a handle f, in order to allow separate pieces as required for use i to be torn oit. The paper, however, must be at least provided with transverse perforations g g, so as to cause the separation to take place at the desired place. If the cotton-wool is cemented to the paper onboth sides of the perforated line g g, there is little risk ofthe cottonwool layer being torn at the wrong place.

It is generally advisable not'to secure the paper and the cotton-wool together over the whole contiguous surfaces in order not to im'- pair the softness and absorbing quality ofthe cotton-wool.

v ably made of a stiffer paper or cardboard.

is the inner front and U' the inner back cover.

V'The back h h may be perforated lengthwise. The back cover U' may also be divided into strips or sections by means of transverse lines f1. t of perforations, to the upper one, 'Laet which is attached the strip a' or sheet of material.

The other sections u" are intended to contain advertisements and to be torn ott, it desired, by the person receivingthe cover. This cover, containing a sheet or sheets of the material,

is intended to be given to visitors to hotels and public lavatories, whereby itis kept in a state of perfect cleanliness. The cover can also gers', visitors to exhibitions, &c. The sheet such case the cotton-wool layer .should be vplaced inward, for this layer should not be contain various usefulinformation for stranloo in contact with :L printed surface, as the prnt- I clzriming-ink might soil it. As a new article, a sanitary paper for toilet The new material can be manufactured, purposes consisting of a backing of thin imforjnstance, in such manner Athat a eontinupermeable paper havingalayerofcotton-wool .eus paper strip of single or ses'eral widths is attached thereto, portions of the contiguous covered with gum or cement in longitudinal i facesof the paper and wool being left unde- A lines corresponding to the edges of the strips tacked.

to be subsequently separated, and afterward In testimony whereof I have hereto set my a; cotton-Wool band of the same width pressed i hand n the presence of the two subscribing upon it-say by means of rollers. Then the witnesses. band is cut in transverse andlongitudinal'i directions into separate sheets or strips, in RUDOLPH SCHOLICH' 'which the paper and cotton -wool are coni lVitnesses:
