PAUL RICHTER, or TENAFLY, NEW JERsEr. PROCESS OF PADDING AND ORNAMENIING BURLAP 0R SlMlLAR FABRlCS.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed June 13, 1906. Serial No.-321,456,

lap or Similar Fabrics, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved process of padding and coloring burlap, buckram, or similar coarse textile fabric and of pro-' ducingupon said fabric simultaneously with the coloring operation any suitable ornamental design.

In the accom anying drawings, Figure 1 is a cross-section o the principal parts of an apparatus for carrying my invention into effect.

ig. 2 is a face view of a fabric treated by my process, the threads being not round-shaded to more clearly bring out the deeper coloring between the threads; and. Fig. 3, an exaggerated cross-section on line 3 3, Fig. .2.

The apparatus for racticing the invention consists of two para lel cylindrical rollers'4 and 5, journaled side byside and pressed toward each other by suitable means. (Not shown.) The roller 4 is engraved, as at 6, to contain an intaglio or sunk representation of the design to be transferred to the burlap, buckram, or similar coarse textile fabric 7. Roller 5 is a true or unbroken cylinder, so that though exerting a pressure against the convex surface of roller 4 it-cannot exert an pressure upon the sunk ortions 6 of end roller. Centered above tli the rollers is a vessel 9, containing a suitable sizing and coloring composition 10. Vessel 9 is open at the bottom and extends partly over both of the rollers, so that the composition will flow u on the latter and into the trough formed; y the contiguous halves of the rollers. Rotary motion being imparted to, say, roller 4, the fabric 7 will be drawn over roller 5, through vessel 9, into and.

through pass 8, and thence out below roller 4. During this operation the sunk portions 6 of roller 4 while passing .tbrough'vessel 9 will become filled with composition ,10 anterior to reaching pass 8.

While fabric 7 is drawn through vessel 9, and before reaching pass 8, it will become covered with composition 10. When the fabric reaches pass 8 itis subjected to a State of New Jersey,-have.

e pass 8 betweensevere ressing or squeezing action at all points etween surface of roller 5 and the convex portion of roller 4. In this way the composition is forced through the pores of the fabric to pad the same, while it is simultaneously ressed off the raised parts of the groundwor and returned in part to vessel 9,

thus leavingbutalightsurface-coloring. This surface-coloring of the groundwork is shaded, being lighter where the pressure isgreater-i. e. on top of the threads-and darker where the pressure is less-i. 6., between the threadsso that the threads will be lighter than the intersticesbetween the threads, 2.

While roller 5 squeezes out an partly returns the composition from those points of the fabric that lie across the convex portion of roller 4, portions of the fabric which extend across the sunk sections 6 of such roller. The consequence is that the composition pocketed by such sunk sections will be transferred within pass 8 in a heavy layer to the fabric and will remain intact upon such fabric. In this way there is transfixed upon the fabric a design 11 corresponding to design 6 and formed by the same composition 10 that serves to color however, considerably heavier than the surface-coloring. After the fabric has passed through the machine and has been dried it is ready for use.

If it is desired to produce shaded designs 1 1, the sunk sections. 6 of roller 4 are made to vary in depth.

It will be seen that by my invention I pad and surface-color the fabric and simultaneously produce uponthe same a suitable design with the same composition, but applied in a heavier layer than goesto form the surface-color. Thus anovel and useful product,

available for a large number of'purposes, is

obtained in a simple and economical manner. My process may also be applied to paperfabrics, which for the purposes of this invention are equivalents of textile fabrics.

What I claim is- 1. Process of treatin sists in passing the fabric through a sizing and coloring composition to form a groundcolor, and simultaneously fabric a pattern by a heavier layer of said composition, substantially as specified.

2. Process of treating a coarse fabric,which it will not similarly affect those a fabric, which conapplying to said consists in passing the fabric throngh a sizing Signed by ine at New York city, Manhatand coloring composition to form a groundtan, New York, this 12th day of June, 1906. color, applyingto said fabric a pattern by a v heavier layer of said composition, and simul- PAUL E 5' tan'eously shading the ground-color by sub- Witnesses:
