Improvements in or relating to Soap Sheets, Sanitary Dressings or the like. I, Desire Francois MalSzieux, Engineer, of Rainey, near Paris, in the Republic of France, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows: — This invention relates to the manufacture of soap sheets, sanitary dressings or the like such as sheets containing scent, antiseptics or similar substances. In carrying out the invention a piece of fabric such as gauze, tarn is, durant or the like is pressed between two more or less thick layers of soap paste. 1 his fabric constitutes the core or foundation and has for its object 1) To give the materials the desired consistency when they are arranged in leaves or sheets in a pocket book or in book form, or when used in single sheet form. 2) In order that they may absorb a large quantity of antiseptic products, scents, or similar materials which it may be desired to incorporate in them. From this simple description it will be easily understood that the fabric foundation impregnated with perfumes or antiseptic substances and being covered by or arranged between two layers or films of soap paste, will only gke up the products absorbed when used, whereby the improved materials will be of considerable value to doctors and others, who can thus always have readily at hand the antiseptic indispensable for their profession, in a convenient and pleasant form. In case of a wound, bandaging it with a piece of this material will often pre¬ vent complications which are always to be feared when one has not immediately at hand the necessary material for treating the wound. The material according to this invention may be manufactured in any desired manner; as an example, the fabric constituting the foundation may be dipped into soap paste when in a liquid condition. the paste adhering to it, may be afterwards dried m a drying oven or m the air. Of course, if a single immer¬ sion does not give a sufficient thickness of soap layer, the immersion may be repeated several times. The gauze or similar fabric constituting the foundation for the soap may be replaced bv perforated paper. For this* purpose a sufficiently strong paper is used which is provided with a number of perforations, constituting so many chambers or cells in which the antiseptic, scent or the like is imprisoned as soon as the film is coated with soap either by immersion, as already stated, or in any other suitable manner.
