UNITED STATES JEAN BLANC, on NEW PATENT OFFICE.
ORLEANS, LOUISIANA.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 8, [84, dated June :21, 13:71.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JEAN BLANO, of New Orleans, in the parish of Orleans and State of Louisiana, havef-diseovered a most valuable article of hemp in the bark of the okra-plant, and also a method by which to clean and prepare it for use; and I. do" hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the drawings of the okra-plant deposited in the Patent Office.
The discovery which I have made consists in a new method of preparing hemp from the bark of the okra-plant by grinding or washing the plant while in its green state and rotting the bark in water, thereby dissolving the glutinous matter which it contains, and afterward washing it in water before drying. The okrastalk, when green, must be passed between a set of rollers for the purpose of washing the stalk, and then thrown into a reservoir of water, in which it must remain from three to five days, according to the temperature of the wa ter. This reservoir must be constructed with a floor of plank, and with sides so formed as to allow the water to be let on and offat pleasure by means of gates during the process of cl cansing. The cleansing is effected by passing a large wooden roller over the stalks when mashed, to disengage the woody portion of the stalks from the bark, and also to express the glutinous substance from the fibrous portion at the same time, renewing the water as often as is found necessary, until the fibers are freed from all impurities. It is then take'n froln the reservoir and spread in the sun to dry.
\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The preparing of hemp from thebark of the okra-plant in its green state, and the herein described method of pr'eparing it'for use.
JEAN BLANC. Witnesses:
