The presentinvention relates to cloth transfer sheets the object of the invention 'bei to provide an improved transfer sheet whic may be used between layers of cloth or other similar fabric without injury thereto, and by means of which the pattern or design when marked off from the pattern on the upper layer of cloth will'be' transferred by means 0 this im roved'sheetto the under- ;side of-the upper the lower layer ofcloth, es othermatcrialbetween whichthe'itransfer'sheet is laidfwhere,

yet. the same markii'rg or tracing the upper marked,-

and under layers'will be' accurate y' thereby to provide right and left portions'at thii sallpedtlme. df

'Similar characters of reference "indicate corresponding parts throughout the figures of the drawin It is highly desirable in the manufacture of garments'that the rightsand lefts of the pattern fit accurately together and also that wherever a .desi or other ornamentation is to be marked 0' on one ortion of the garment the duplication of t 's, wherever such duplication is used,-shall be'as accurately traced off on the other portion of'the garment and in the same practice this result is not always obtained, since, for instance, if an ornamentation is being marked off from a pattern on one portion of the garment and it is desired to duplicate this on another portion this duplication does not always come in the same location and is not alwa s accurately marked, owing to slippage of t e pattern or other causes; and furthermore, it is not always possible to trace of which the.

with'accuracy, and it follows that the ornamentation at one side of a garment frequently d ffers in outline from that on the other side.

In order to avoid such disadvantages I have provided an improved cloth transfer sheet, which may be laid betweenthe layers of cloth so that when the pattern or other ornamentation or design is traced by means of a suitable marker or tracer on the u per layer of cloth by following the outlines oi the pattern thistransfer sheet will transfer to the surfaces of both the top and under layers the yes and the upper sideof' .I suitable body location. But in ,pattern so that when opened up the right and left of such pattern are obtained at one each other in every detail.

of a suitab e cloth having the proper number 26f, threadsto' the inch, or-tlredesired mesh, "and-Tin" practice I hatelfound that linen for cotton cloth gives'the best results. This materialis treated by dippin it into'or otherwise impregnating or app ying to it a suitable 'mixture. This mixture may be applied by running the sheets through a vat containing it and between rollers to compress the mixture into the cloth. The mixture to which the cloth is sub'ected and which be- :comes'absorbedfthere 'y' is made up-of a f soapstone or chalk, or whiting, or clay,:or lime or white lead, or 'other 'analogou's material mixed to the proper consistency with water and a mineral orvegetable oil, such for instance as linseed oil, which-*rnixture is compressed into the cloth in any suitable manner, and when so compressed therein the cloth is in condition, on drying, to readily transmit any design or pattern marked out to both surfaces of he cloth or other material between which it may be interposed, but.without injury to the material on which the attern is transferred. Moreover, the markings so transferred by this improved transfer sheet marks lasting a suliicient time, however,'to be used as gpides for cutting or sewing.

Some of t e mixtures which I have ound to give good results when ap lied to the transfer sheet is a mixture 0 bees wax, turpentine and powdered soapstone;

white lead, linseed oil and oil of tar, or the oil of tar may in some cases be omitted.

When it is desired to trace or mark off a design or pattern on white or other light colored goods, the mixture may be procan be readily brushed off when desired, the

operation and both conforming accurately to This im roved transfer sheet 2 is made up or clay,

vided with some suitable coloring ingredient, such as Prussian blue.

In the use of this improved transfer sheet the same is inserted between the layers of cloth 3 and 4, one sheet between each two layers, and obviously a number of layers, by duplicating the sheets, may have the attern traced thereon at the same time. he attern or design 5 is laid on the upper sur ace of the upper layer of cloth 3, and by the use of a suitable marker or tracer 6 the same is marl-zed off, the pressure of which marker through the upper layer of cloth acts upon the transfer sheet in such manner as to transfer to the under surface 7 of the upper layer 8 and the to) surface 8 of the lower layer 4 the desire re roduction 10 of the pattern, after which tie same may be cut or sewed alon the marked ofl portions.

l-rom the oregoing it will e seen that this improved transfer cloth is in the nature of a duplex transfer sheet, in that it will impart impressions from both sides thereof at the same time.

In some forms of this im roved transfer cloth I find it desirable to ad to the mixture hereinbefore referred to a certain proportion of wax in a melted condition, which is mixed with turpentine for the purpose of keeping the wax melted, and these in redients are then added to the other mix are and the whole applied in the manner hereinbefore set forth. The wax assists in preventing the other ingredients from rubbing off on the cloth.

I claimas my invention:

1. A duplex transfer sheet for markin on cloth comprising a single thickness of cloth impregnated with a fluid mixture comprising a pigment, water and oil, of a characterv whic 1 will omit the sheet to have direct contact with the cloth to be marked without injluring or besmearing such cloth and which Wll impart impressions from both sides thereof at the same time. 1

2. A duplex transfer sheet for marking on cloth comprising a single thickness of 0 0th impregnated with a fluid mixture compressed therein and capable of being closely engaged on both sides by the cloth to be marked without i1 ljUI'll or besmearing the fabric to be marked, an effective to impart impressions from both sides thereof at the same time.

3. A transfer, sheet for mar on cloth comprising cloth impregnated with a fluid mixture compressed therein.

4. A transfer sheet for mark on cloth comprising cloth impregnated with a fluid mixture compressed therein and comprising a pigment, water and oil.
