The Manufacture on Twist Lace Machines of Lace Fabrics in Imitation of Loom Made Tapestry.
Year: 1886

page_text: The Manufacture on Twist Lace Machines of Lace Fabrics in
Imitation of Loom Made Tapestry.
I, AARON MOSLEY of Kimberley, near Nottingham, Lace Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention, is to produce fabrics in imitation of Loom made
Tapestry fabrics on a Twist Lace Machine or Curtain Machine chiefly by the
employment of coloured threads. These threads are threaded in the spool guide
bars of the machine as arranged when making imitation Swiss goods; but to
obtain the Tapestry effect I throw alternately two coloured threads in the guide
of the back spool bar and two threads alternately in the guide of the front spool
bar. Each spool guide bar is acted upon by a cam of such as that shown in
Figure 2 of the drawings and described in Specification of Letters Patent
No. 1248 of the year 1881.
The threads in the spool bars are acted upon by jacks from the jacquard, the
jacquard in this case working double speed, or what is known in the trade as
Double Action. By this arrangement of threads in both spool bars and the
movement given to them by the respective wheels which allow the threads in
each spool bar to be operated upon by the jacks as required, I am thus enabled to
produce a fabric which closely imitates Loom made Tapestry having a perfect
design in four colours on both sides of the fabric.
The arrangements and movements of the different parts of the machine are
precisely the same as specified in the Letters Patent 1248 which was granted to
John Newton in the year 1881 for "Improvements in machinery and apparatus
applicable to twist lace machines to produce combination Swiss and embroidered
coloured fabrics," which Letters Patent were assigned to me on the 21st September
1886.
By the addition and arrangement of colours as before stated and the movement
given to the guide bars as described in Specification 1248 I am enabled by
working the jacquard double speed to act upon any particular thread in the spools
bars back or front motion, thus having full power to produce a design in four
colours having the design distinct on both sides of the fabric which is a good
imitation of Loom made Tapestry.
I do not confine myself to the number of colours mentioned as they may be
varied to, such designs.

I, AARON MOSLEY of Kimberley, near Nottingham, Lace Manufacturer 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
The object of my invention is to produce fabrics in imitation of Loom made
Tapestry fabrics on a twist lace machine or curtain machine chiefly by the
employment of coloured threads. These threads are threaded in the spool guide
bars of the machine as arranged when making imitation swiss goods. But to
obtain the Tapestry effect, I thread alternately two coloured threads in the guides
of the back spool bar and two threads alternately in the guides of the front spool
bar. The front spool guide bar is acted upon by a cam of a special cut as shown
on the annexed drawing.
The threads in the spool bars are acted upon by jacks from the jacquard,
the jacquard in this case working double speed or what is known in the trade as
double action. By this arrangement of threads in both spool bars and the
movement given to them by the respective wheels which allows the threads
in each spool bar to be operated upon by the jacks as required. I am thus
enabled to produce a fabric which closely imitates Loom made Tapestry having
a perfect design in four colours on both sides of the fabric.
The arrangements and movements of the different parts of the machine are
precisely the same as specified in the Letters Patent No. 1248 granted to John
Newton in the year 1881, for improvements in machinery and apparatus applicable
to twist lace machines to produce combination Swiss and Embroidered coloured
fabrics, which said Letters Patent were duly assigned to me on the 21st Sep-
tember 1886.
By the addition and arrangement of colours in the two spool bars, as before
stated, and the movement given to them by their respective wheels (the front spool
bar being acted upon by the cam of special cut, and described in Patent 1248,
when making combination) as per annexed drawings the other spool bar and warp
bar are acted upon as when making imitation Swiss embroidery curtains and fully
described in Specification 1248. When making combination I am enabled by
working the jacquard double speed, to act upon any particular thread in the spool
bars back or front motion. Thus I have full power to produce a design in four
colours, having the design distinct on both sides of the fabric which is a good
imitation of Loom made Tapestry.
I do not confine myself to the number of colours mentioned as they may be
varied to such designs.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
1. The manufacture of imitation Loom made Tapestry in a twist lace machine
in the manner and by the mechanism described.

page_text: 2. Arranging coloured threads alternately in the front and back spool bar guides
of a twist lace machine and operating same by double speed motion from the
jacquard for producing imitation loom made Tapestry as described.
3. The employment in a twist lace machine the special form of cam wheel shown
on the annexed drawing when used in combination with coloured threads for the
manufacture of imitation loom made Tapestry as set forth.
