PAPER BLANKET OR RUG- Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 19, 1905.
Application filed December 12, 1904. Serial No. 236,645.
To (l/ZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN HAWORTH, a sub ject of the King of Great Britain, residing in Hunslet Carr, Leeds, in the county of York, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Blankets or Rugs, (for which application has been made in Great Britain, No. 16,537, dated July 26, 1904,) of which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its object an improved form of cheap and yet serviceable blanket, rug, furniture-cover, or the like.
Paper and felt blankets and the like are already well known; but owing to the following defects they have hitherto failed to attain general acceptance by the public: First, they are difficult to manipulate/in making the beds in consequence of their want of pliability; second, when folded often they soon exhibit signs of wear and tear at the folds, which rapidly render them useless; third, the moisture from the sleeper has small chance of escaping in consequence of the practically non-porous character of the paper or paper felt; fourthly, they are extremely apt to tear at the edges, and, fifthly, they are somewhat unsightly. Now my invention is designed to avoid these objections. It is best described by aid of the accompany ing drawings.
Fi ure 1 shows a plan View of a blanket, and h ig. 2 a fragmentary view of the blanket. Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing a modification of the manner of applying the connecting-tapes to the segments.
In the drawings, A A are segments, preferably square or rectangular; but theyrcan, if
desirable, be triangular; B B, tapes formed of any very tough or pliable material. These are sewed or pasted along the junctions of the segments on one or both sides of the blanket, the segments preferably not touching each other for about a quarter of an inch,
C is a tape of any suitable material folded over the edge of the blanket and sewed or pasted to it all round.
The tapes B B when used for bed-blankets are preferably of a porous character and of an ornamental color. This latter quality would also add effect in case of the boundarytape. They can be attached by sewing, as above mentioned, or by a gelatin fixed with formalin or tannic acid or the like or byany other cementitious substance which will not soften with the heat or moisture to which they would in ordinary use be subjected or exhibit any other objectionable feature.
The segments of the blanket are preferably all of equal size and similar shape and of any suitable number. The blankets can therefore be easily, neatly, and quickly folded up to the size and shape of one of the segments. The blankets, too, bending freely at the segments, have very little tendency to crease or wear unequally at any other part, and therefore remain good for a very much longer period than those of the ordinary type, while being bound round with a tough tape they are not liable, as other paper blankets are, to tear at the edges. I have mentioned that the segments can be fastened together by means of either sewing or cementitious mat- -'ter, or both. I may, however, use both means for firmly fixing the tape to the segments. In order to avoid the segments having rou h edges on the back side, these edges can be folded and the tapes inserted between the folds, as shown in Fig. 3, and then sewed. The other alternative is to paste the rough edges down onto the tapes in cases where the edges of the segments are sewed to the tapes. In thus describing my invention I do not bind myself to the exact details herein set forth, as it is obvious that the paper can be mounted on a backing like an ordinary folded map and have tapes on one side only, or the segments could be mounted between two sheets a sufficient distance from each other to enable them to fold, or two sheets of segments can be placed back to back with tapes between with cement or sewing uniting the three together.
I declare that what I claim is 1. As a new article of manufacture, a covering-blanket formed of a plurality of paper segments, each segment having two of its edges connected by flexible strips with the edges of two adjoining segments, and all 'united in a single sheet foldable to the size of one segment.
2. In a paper blanket, the combination with a plurality of paper segments arranged in a common plane, with their edges folded and in proximity, of flexible connecting-tapes havin their edges inserted and secured in the foIds of the segments.
3. As a new article of manufacture, a covering-blanket formed of a plurality of tough fibrous paper segments arranged symmetrically in the form of a rectangle, each segment having two of its edges in proximity to the edges of two adjoining segments, and said In Witness whereof I have hereunto signed proximate edges of the segments being united my name in the presence of two subscribing IO by a series of flexible tapes connected with Witnesses.
the edges of the segments and joining the 5 same in a single sheet foldable to the size of JOHN HAWORTH one segment, and a binding-tape folded over Witnesses: and secured to the exposed edges of the sev- W. H. BEEsToN,
eral segments. T. S. SHILLINGTON.
