Abstract: A method of making a paper pattern for dyeing by the use of a paper pattern material comprising a screen and a fusible sheet material bonded thereon, said sheet material being less resistant to heat than the screen, which comprises applying the blunt edge of a blade heated to a temperature slightly lower than the fusing temperature of the sheet material to the surface of the sheet material along the profile of the pattern of the prototype to cut only the sheet material by the cooperation of pressing and softening with the blade edge, or applying the tip of a pointed rod-like tool heated to a temperature higher than the melting temperature of the sheet material and lower than the heat-resistant temperature of the screen to the surface of the sheet material along the profile of the pattern of the prototype to cut only the sheet material by melting, followed by peeling off from the screen the cut portion of the sheet material corresponding to the profile.

Abstract: A fire-extinguishing apparatus for a use inside a building wherein a cloth curtain is used to shut off a burning area from a non-burning area, and wherein a support is provided for suspending and winding up the cloth curtain, and a water feeder supplies water continuously to the cloth curtain over the entire length of the width direction at the upper end so that the whole surface of the cloth curtain is covered by the water flowing thereon from the upper end to the lower end.
