We ISAAC BAMFORD of Shorelea, Oldham in the County of Lancaster, Cotton-
Spinner & Manufacturer and JAMES WILD, 31 Plato Street Oldham in the County of
Lancaster, Loom Jobber, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Our invention relates to the manufacture of cotton velvets & velveteens, but is
applicable to velvets made of silk and cotton, or silk.
Our invention consists in the formation of a rib or tape selvage or a yarn stripo
with one extra heald (beyond those required for working the pattern of the cloth
solely) instead of two or more as is usual; the yarn threads being so manipulated
on the extra heald in connection with others on the other healds, so as to form the
selvage or stripe above-mentioned.
To form the left hand selvage the draft finishes on the extra heald, while for the
right hand selvage the draft commences on the extra heald.
To form a stripe the draft commences & finishes on the extra heald.
By increasing or diminishing the number of ends drawn into the selvage or stripe,
any width of selvage or stripe can be made.
Diagrams a & a are patterns of drafts for the formation of the selvage & b & b' for
the formation of the stripe.
Diagrams 1. 2 & 3 show the selvage or stripe as applied to 12 Shaft Cloths worked

Improvements in the Manufacture of Velvets and Velveteens.
We, ISAAC BAMFORD of Shorelea, Oldham in the County of Lancaster, Cotton
Spinner & Manufacturer, & JAMES WILD of 31 Plato Street Oldham in the County
of Lancaster Loom-jobber do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of cotton velvets and velveteens & other
piled fabrics, but is applicable to velvets made from silk, or cotton & silk, and consists
in the formation of a rib selvage or a yarn stripe, with one extra heald or shaft beyond
those required for weaving the pattern of the cloth solely, instead of two or more as
is usually employed--the yarn threads being so manipulated on the extra heald or
shaft in connection with others on the other shafts so as to form the selvage or stripe-
and can be applied to plain (or calico) backed, ribbed-backed, or twilled backed velvets
or velveteens with any number of shafts or healds, of any pattern or design.
And in order that our invention may be the more readily understood we appended
unto the provisional specification a sheet of drawings marked with letters of
reference.
To form the left hand selvage, the draft finishes on the extra Shaft or heald. To
form the right hand selvage, the draft commences on the extra Shaft or heald. To
form a stripe the draft commences & finishes on the extra Shaft or heald. Any
width of selvage or stripe can be made by increasing or diminishing the number of
ends used to form the same.
Diagrams a & a¹ are patterns of drafts for the formation of the selvage; b & bl
are patterns of drafts for the formation of the stripe.

ordinary manner with the exception of the addition of a seventh or extra Shaft for the
formation of tho selvage or stripe. In Diagram 7 the first, sixth & eleventh picks,

passing under.

the formation of the selvage or stripe. The fifth pick only passes over the sixth Shaft
ends, the remainder passing under.
By altering the draft on the ordinary healds, the pattern of the rib selvage or
stripe may be varied.
Also by altering the picks which pass over the extra Shaft ends the same result
may be obtained.
The diagrams show the application of the selvage or stripe to some patterns of
velvets commonly in use, but they can be applied to all velvets, with any working
number of Shafts of any pattern or design, whether plain (or calico) backed, twilled-
backed or ribbed-backed.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:
1. The manufacture of rib selvages or stripes on one Shaft or heald, beyond those
required for the weaving of the pattern of the cloth solely, in manner as or similar to
those above described.
2. The application of the said selvages or stripes to velveteens & velvets & other
piled fabrics, whether plain, ribbed or twilled backed, of any pattern or design.
