page_text: LETTERS PATENT to James Joseph Delmar, of Ormside Street, Old Kent
Road, in the County of Surrey, and William Folliott, of Bethnal Green Road,
in the County of Middlesex, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE MODE OF MANUFACTURING CARPETS AND OTHER SIMILAR LOOPED, PILED,
AND DOUBLE LOOPED AND DOUBLE GROUND AND PILED OR CORDED FABRICS,
ALSO TAPESTRIES, DAMASKS, AND SIMILAR FURNITURE FABRICS."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said James Joseph Delmar
and William Folliott at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the
27th February 1882.
JAMES JOSEPH DELMAR of Ormside Street Old Kent Road in the County of
Surrey and WILLIAM FOLLIOTT of Bethnal Green Road in the County of Middlesex.
"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MODE OF MANUFACTURING CARPETS AND OTHER SIMILAR
LOOPED PILED AND DOUBLE LOOPED AND DOUBLE GROUND AND PILED OR CORDED
FABRICS ALSO TAPESTRIES DAMASKS AND SIMILAR FURNITURE FABRICS.
This invention relates to improvements in the facing of certain woven fabrics
which according to this invention are made of any kind of spun hair combined with
Tussah or waste silk, or either with colton, Jute, Hemp, Flax, Fibre Grass or other
suitable materials which can be dyed spun and woven to suit the work and the
ground work or warp and shoot may be formed of any kind of spun yarn or wire.
In manufacturing carpets and other piled looped and double looped fabrics with
a single ground, or double looped with a double ground, the double ground is
(according to this invention) made any distance apart from each other or the
double work will form a spring material suitable for carriage seatings or for many
other purposes or if the double work is cut through it will form both a piled and
looped fabric.
Finger or beam rugs and mats can be made in like manner.

page_text: After having sorted and prepared the hair ready for mixing with either silk,
Jute, Hemp, Flax, Fibre Grass or other suitable material it is then spun and woven
in the ordinary way. Hair spun with either of these naterials makes a much
stronger and finer thread than if either were spun separately, for making a plain
or figured material some of the softer kinds of hair may be carded and spun in
like manner that is to say they may be spun from the carding Engine the louger
kinds of hair will have to be milled before being spun or be subjected to the action
of very short or thick toothed cards or they may be spun on a spinning wheel by
hand or by a Jack.
In making carpets and other similar piled looped or double piled or looped
fabrics we prefer to use Goat hair or Camel hair and for other piled or double piled
fabrics we use a stiffer kind of hair such as the hair of the pig or hide hair.

This invention relates to improvements in the facing of certain woven fabrics
which according to this invention are made of any kind of spun hair (not drawn
hair as at present practised) combined with Tussah or waste silk, or either with
cotton, Jute, Hemp, Flax, Fibre Grass or other suitable materials which can be
dyed spun and woven to suit the work and the ground work or warp and shoot
may be formed of any kind of spun yarn or wire.
In manufacturing carpets and other piled looped and double looped fabrics with
a single ground or double looped with a double ground, the double ground
(according to this invention) made any distance apart from each other or the double
work will form a spring material suitable for carriage seatings or for many other
purposes or if the double work is cut through it will form both a piled and looped
fabric
Finger or beam rugs and mats can be made in like manner.
After having sorted and prepared the hair ready for mixing with either silk,
Jute, Hemp, Flax, Fibre Grass, Wool, or other suitable material it is spun by
suitable machinery and woven Hair spun with either of these materials makes a
much stronger and finer throad than if either were spun separately for making a
plain or figured material some of the softer kinds of hair may be carded and spun
in like manner that is to say they may be spun from the carding Engine the longer
kinds of hair will have to be milled before being spun or be subjected to the action
of very short or thick toothed cards or they may be spun on a spinning wheel by
hand or by a Jack
In making carpets and other similar piled looped or double piled or looped fabrics
we prefer to use Goat hair or Camel hair and for other piled or double piled
fabrics we use a stiffer kind of hair such as the hair of the pig or hide hair.
Having thus described the nature and object of my said invention and the means
whereby the same may be carried into practical effect we would remark in
conclusion that what we claim as our invention and desire to securo by the
bereinbefore in part recited Letters Patent is the combination of spun hair with
wool or other fibrous materials that can be spun and woven substantially as and
for the purposes set forth.
In Witness whereof I the said James Joseph Delmar one of the parties
hereto have hereunto set my hand and seal this twenty-sixth day of
August in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
