An Improved Cloth, suitable for Travelling Rugs and the like.
I, WILLIAM EUSTACE FIRTH, of Flush Mills, Heckmondwike, in the County of
York, Blanket and Sealskin Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to produce a raised pile cloth (specially suitable
for travelling rugs and the like) in three distinct colours in any required designs.
Preferably. I employ three wefts and one warp, the warp being used as a
binder. The wefts are each of different colours and are floated on the top and
back to suit the pattern required, the colour on the top being opposite or different
to the colour at the same point on the back. The pile or nap is then raised by
teasling or by cards and finished and so the said raised pile or nap covers up the
warp or binding threads.
The whole of the different coloured threads and wefts can be lifted or floated to
top or bottom according to the pattern required by a suitable arrangement of the
pattern cards.

Fig. 1, shows a sectional diagram of the weave of the cloth.
This invention produces a cloth having raised or pile surfaces on both sides
(specially suitable for travelling rugs and the like) in three distinct colours in any
required designs.
Preferably I employ three wefts and one warp, the warp being used as a binder.
The wefts A, B, and C are each of different colours, and are preferably of wool,
and are floated on the top and back to suit the pattern required, the colour of
the weft A on the top being opposite or different to the colour of the weft C at
the same point on the back.
The pile or nap of the piece is then raised by card or teasles and finished in the
usual manner, and so the said raised pile or nap covers up the warp or binding
threads D.
The whole of the different coloured threads and wefts can be lifted or floated
to the top or bottom according to the pattern required by a suitable arrangement
of the pattern cards.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The manufacture of a raised pile cloth in three distinct colours on both sides,
substantially as shown and described.
