PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Ribbed Pile Fabrics.
We JOHN RICHARD HUTCHINSON and W. AND J. HUTCHINSON LIMITED of
Daisy Field Mill Bury in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of cotton cords and consists mainly in
weaving the face ends of the warp which bind in the weft in clusters of three, or
more threads, together. And the object is to produce a cord of exceptional
strength and durability.
This method is applicable to all sorts of cotton cords whether they be twill backs,
patent backs, genoas, cables, and others; but we annex hereto a diagram shewing
one pattern of a common twill back cord to illustrate our meaning.
In this pattern the four face ends, or binders, indicated by the strong lines
Nos. 5, 6, 11, and 12 are shown woven in clusters of five threads each, and are
drawn through the healds together; whilst the remainder Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10
are woven singly or otherwise in the usual manner.
Our invention includes therefore any cord which is woven with three, or more
face ends together in clusters after the manner of the illustration, no matter how
the remaining warp and weft threads are disposed, or varied, either in sequence, or
in number.
Dated this 18th day of February 1893.
