Improvements in the Manufacture of Cotton Velvets, Velveteens,
and other Cut Pile Cotton Fabrics.
1 ALBERT Dux of 36 and 38 Queen Street, Albert Square Manchester in the
County of Lancaster Finisher and Merchant do hereby declare the nature of this
Invention to be as follows:-
My said Invention relates to the manufacture of velvets velveteens and other pile
fabrics made from cotton and particularly to the class of such goods wherein effects of
shade and colour are obtained by alternate stripes of cut and uncut portions of the
fabric as is well understood. Hitherto in producing such goods it has been the
custom to weave the piece from yarns of different colours or it might be of an uniform
colour the pile being afterwards cut in, stripes or otherwise so as to produce the
desired effect. According to my invention I print the uncut fabric in a bleached or
unbleached condition with the desired colours or combinations of colours or shades and
cut the pile after the fabric has been thus printed. As a simple example of a mode of
carrying my invention into effect suppose it is desired to produce a striped pile fabric of
two colours, say orange and blue the piece of grey or bleached goods is printed with
stripes of these colours and after washing, the fabric is cut at the intervals for example
where the blue stripe has been printed leaving the orange stripe uncut or vice versa or
I might increase the effect by cutting alternately a portion of the blue and a portion of
the orange stripe the result being that I am enabled to produce all the richness of
colour, effect and shade which has hitherto been obtainable only by the use of much
more costly processes of manufacture. It will be understood that any number of stripes
of colours, shades and combinations of colours and shades may be employed in printing
the fabric or an uniform colour might be used and the pile cut either in stripes or over
the whole surface of the fabric.

1 ALBERT DUX of 36 and 38 Queen Street, Albert Square, Manchester, in the County
of Lancaster, Finisher and Merchant 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, that is to say:
My said Invention relates to the manufacture of velvets, velveteens and other pile
fabrics made from cotton, and particularly to the class of such goods wherein effects of
shade and colour are obtained by alternate stripes of cut and uncut portions of the
fabric as is well understood. Hitherto in producing such goods it has been the custom
to weave the piece from yarns of different colours or it might be of an uniform colour
the pile being afterwards cut in stripes or otherwise so as to produce the desired effect.
According to my invention I print the uncut fabric with the desired colour or com-
binations of colours, or shades and cut the pile after the fabric has been thus printed.
As a simple example of a mode of carrying my invention into effect suppose it is
desired to produce a striped pile fabric of two colours, say orange and blue, the piece
of grey pile goods is bleached and printed with stripes of these colours and after
washing, the fabric is cut at the intervals for example where the blue stripe has been
printed, leaving the orange stripe uncut or vice versa or I might increase the effect by
cutting alternately a portion of the blue and a portion of the orange stripe the result
being that I am enabled to produce all the richness of colour, effect and shade which
has hitherto been obtainable only by the use of much more costly processes of manu-
facture. It will be understood that any number of stripes of colours, shades and
combinations of colours and shades may be employed in printing the fabric or an
uniform colour might be used and the pile cut either in stripes or over the whole surface
of the fabric.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
..In the manufacture of cotton velvets, velveteens and other cut pile cotton fabrics
printing the uncut fabric either in an uniform colour or shade or with stripes or other
arrangements or combinations of different colours or shades and afterwards cutting the
pile either over the whole surface of the cloth or at intervals, substantially as and for
the purposes hereinbefore set forth.
