Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March s, 1905. semi Rt 249,053.
To all whom it may concern.- 7 Be it known that we, WILLIAM Mama, JULIUS HUBNER, and WILLIAM JACKSON Porn, subjects of His Majesty the King of Great Britain, and residents of Manchester,
England, have invented a new and useful Improved Process of Mercerizing Fabrics and Material, of which the following is a speclfication.
The invention relates more particularly to the mercerization of fabrics and materials such as fine muslin, lace, yarns, and the like, as well as unspun cotton, which it has been difficultto treat by the methods hitherto em- 1 5 ployed, since, owing to their loose and delicate structure, they are unable to withstand tension applied directly to them.
The object of the resent invention is 'to prevent the materia ori: fabric contracting under the influence of the caustic with which it is treated, and this object is attained by subjecting the material or fabric to a preliminary treatment which includes the compression of the fabric or material between pervioussurfaces which by their pressure produce -and augment surface friction, sov as to revent or minimize the contraction of the fi ers especially while the, mercerizing liquid is acting. This preliminary treatment, which may 0 be carried outeither in a continuous or noncontinuous manner, as desired, consists in steaming the fabric 1 or material, saturating it with water or a weak solution of caustic,
and at the same time subjecting it to pressure 5 between ervious surfaces, one or more of which is exible, such treatment having for its object the elimination of the air contained in the material, thus facilitating the subsequent mercerizing process and rendering it 0 more effective an uniform. In cases where the mercerizing is carried out in a single machine in successive stages such preliminary treatment is repeated between the successive stages of mercerizing, and finally the materialiswashed.
In the accompanying drawing is shown a machine by which the im roved process of mercerizing is convenient y carried into. effect by a non-continuous process,
In the drawing, 1 is a closed vesselhaving a hinged lid 2, by which access is obtained to the interior of the vessel. Central of the vessel 1 is a hollow perforated core 3, the inteand broken lines.

After this relimin treatment the usual mercerizing l iquid'is a mittedand caused to circulate throu h the material, when the surface friction an pres- The compound roll thus sure of the pervious layers and the jacket will hinder the tendency to contract produced by the mercerizing li uid, and thereby an automatic tension will e set up in the cotton; At
the end of the mercerizing process water may be passed through in a similar manner to wash the cotton, and also, if reallhired, dyeing, bleaching, and other liquors, w e to dry the cotton after such treatment dry air may be forced through. To facilitate, however, the expulsion of the li uids, the core 3 may, as shown, he mounte on a shaft 8, having a foot-step at 9 and rovided with a driving:v
