PROCESS OF SEPARATING HAIR FROM HAIRCLOTH.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MORRIS BRonKowsKY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of WVisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Processes of Separating Hair from Haircloth, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a process of -sep-- cloth is first submerged in a solution con-- sisting of nine parts of water and one part of carbolic acid. After the cloth has been subjected to the action of this solution for a period of about one-half hour it is removed, wrung out until freed as far as possible from the solution and then put in an ordinary hot drier and retained therein until thoroughly dried. It is then removed and tumbled or tossed about in a revolving receptacle whereby the cloth will beagitated, such a itation causing the hair to separate from the body of the cloth. The hair thus treated and recovered will be unaffected by the solution, except in a desirable way by the incidental cleansing action of the solution,'and will retain all of its pristine value for commercial use.

It will be understood that the action of the solution places the vegetable fibers of the cloth in condition to be partially carbonized or rendered brittle under the action of the drying heat, so that in the agitating action such fibers will break or separate by' may berecovered from waste or refuse cloth in a quick and economical manner and rendered availableforfurther use, without impairing thestrength or elasticity of the hair .or any I of the deleteriousv results and ex- Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed December 17, 1910. Serial No. 597,840.

penses arising from the use of the acid solutions commonly employed.

Having thus described the invention, I claim 1. The herein-described process of separating hair from hair-cloth, which consists in subjecting the cloth to the action of dilute ca rbolic acid, drying the cloth by the action of heat until the vegetable fibers are weakened and rendered brittle, and then disintegrating the vegetable fibers to free the hair therefrom.

2. The herein-described process of sepzirating hair from hair-cloth, which consists in subjecting the cloth to a dilute solution of carbolic acid, drying the cloth by the action of heat, and then agitating the cloth,

until the hair separates therefrom.

3. The herein-described process of separating hair from hair-cloth, which consists in submerging the cloth in a solution of carbolic acid and water, removing the cloth and displacing more or less of the solution therefrom, drying the cloth by the action of heat, and then tumbling and agitating the cloth until the hair separates therefrom.

4. The herein-described process of separating hair from hair-cloth, which consists in subjecting the cloth to the acti an of a solution of phenol, drying the cloth by the action of heat until the vegetable fibers are weakened and rendered brittle, and then disintegrating the vegetabie fibers to free the hair therefrom.

5. The herein-described process of separating hair from hair-cloth which consists in subjecting the cloth to the action of a solution of phenol, drying the cloth by the action of heat until the vegetable fibers are weakened and rendered brittle, and then agitating the cloth until the hair separates therefrom.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses. 5
