LMPROVEMENTS IN WEAVING THE CLOTHS OR WOVEN FABRICS FORMED OF COTTON, WOOL OR OTHER FIBROUS MATERIALS AND KNOWN AS "MOLESKINS," "BEAVERTEENS," VELVETEENS," "THICKSETS," AND OTHER CORDS
Year: 1885

page_text: I SAMUEL O'NEILL of Linden Mill Castleton in the County of Lancaster
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for LMPROVEMENTS
IN WEAVING THE CLOTHS OR WOVEN FABRICS FORMED OF COTTON, WOOL OR
OTHER FIBROUS MATERIALS AND KNOWN AS "MOLESKINS," "BEAVERTEENS,"
VELVETEENS," "THICKSETS," AND OTHER CORDS to be as follows:-
"
"
"
"
"
My invention relates to the manufacture of the cloths or woven fabrics formed
of cotton, wool or other fibrous materials and known as "Moleskins" "Beaverteens
Velveteens" "Thicksets and other "cords" and consists in a mode of manu-
facturing such "Moleskins "" Beaverteens ""Velveteens" "Thicksets" and other
"cords" by combining two or more of the bindings or methods now in use for
making the above mentioned "cloths" or woven fabrics.
"
In one application of my invention I combine the old "twill backed six shaft
velveteen with the "cloth" for which Letters Patent numbered 1675 and dated
April 21st 1876 were granted unto me or with the "cloth" or material known as
the "Luxemburg"-The combinations above referred to will produce a " cloth ог
material not so hard and fast bound as the old "velveteen" but will produce a
"cloth "
more firmly bound than the "cloth" produced by the methods described in
the Specification of the Letters Patent above referred to and the above mentioned
combinations will produce a "cloth" or fabric much firmer than that which is
known as the "Luxemburg."
"
In making a
"cloth
or fabric by the combinations above mentioned I should
work both the "face ends" and the "back ends" as "single ends" in a manner
similar to that in which the old "velveteens" and the "Luxemburg cloth" are
generally made or woven or I should work either the." face ends" or the "back
ends" or both the "face ends" and the "back ends" in pairs in a mode similar
to the mode described in the Specification of the Letters Patent herein before
referred to.

SAMUEL O'NEILL of Linden Mill Castleton in the County of Lancaster Manu-
facturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS
.IN WEAVING THE CLOTHS OR. WOVEN FABRICS FORMED OF COTTON, WOOL OR
OTHER FIBROUS MATERIALS AND KNOWN AS MOLESKINS" "BEAVERTEENS
"VELVETEENS" THICKSETS AND OTHER CORDS and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
"
"
"
My invention relates to the manufacture of the cloths, or woven fabrics formed
of cotton, wool or other fibrous materials and known as "Moleskin's ""Beaverteens
"Velveteens" "Thicksets" and other "cords" and consists in a mode of manu-
facturing such." Moleskins" "Beaverteens" "Velveteens" "Thicksets" and other
"cords" by combining two or more of the bindings or methods now in use for
making the above mentioned “cloths" or woven fabrics.
"
In one application of my invention I combine the old "twill backed six shaft
velveteen" with the "cloth" for which Letters Patent numbererd 1675 and dated
April 21st 1876 were granted unto me or with the "cloth" or material known as
the "Luxemburg cluth" and other combinations for "cloth" for raising and
shearing that will produce a material or "cloth" not so hard and fast bound as
the "
Old velveteen" but will produce a "cloth more firmly bound than the
"cloth" produced by the methods described in the specification of the Letters
Patent above referred to and more firmly bound than the " cloth" or material
known as the "Luxemburg Cloth." In making a
" cloth or fabric by the
combinations above-mentioned I should work both the "face ends and the
back ends' as "single ends" in a manner similar to that in which the old
"velveteens" and the " Luxemburg Cloth are generally made or woven or I
should work either the "face ends" or the "back ends " or both the "face ends
and the "back. ends" in pairs in a mode similar to the mode described in the
specification of the Letters Patent herein before referred to.
"
"
"
"
In order that my invention may be thoroughly understood and readily carried
into effect I have hereunto annexed the necessary diagrams.
"
"
In the said diagrams Fig. 1 is a design with draft for a cloth which is a
combination of the cloth forming the subject-matter of the Letters Patent N° 1675
dated April 21st 1876 aforesaid. The said Fig. 1 shows that the "weft picks
forming the "face" of the cloth are identical with the picks to face of the cloth
above-mentioned which forms the subject matter of the said Letters Patent N° 1675
dated April 21st 1876 aforesaid in that each "pick" to the "face" of the "cloth
floats over seven "ends" and under two "ends" but-in forming the "back" of this
cloth it will be seen that the, healds rise and fall alternately as in weaving the
old "velveteen" and as in the cloth described in the specification before mentioned.
Fig. 2 is similar to Fig. 1 but in this design there are only six warp-threads to
the "draft" or "gait over" while in the design Fig. 1 there are nine warp-threads
to the "drafti or "gait over.”

Fig. 3 is similar to Fig. 1 in that there are nine "ends' to the "draft or
"gait over " but it will be seen that in three of the "picks" forming the
"" back
I "rise" three healds and "drop" three causing the weft-threads to "float" under
five "ends" and over four "ends."
•
Fig. 4 is similar to Fig. 3 but in this design there are only six "ends" to the
"draft" or "gait over.
"
"
Fig. 5 in which there are only six warp-threads in the "draft or "gait over
is similar to Fig. 4 in the formation of the "back" of the cloth but in forming
the "face" of the cloth I at each "pick" raise two healds and in preference raise
first the second and third healds together, then the fourth and fifth together and
then the sixth and first together thus working the warp-threads in pairs in forming
the "face" of the cloth.
"
Fig. 6 is a design or draft for a cloth having nine warp-threads to the "draft
or "gait over." In this design the "face" of the cloth is formed by the weft-
threads being floated or passed over seven warp-threads and under two warp-
threads and the "back" of the cloth is formed by alternately raising four healds
and dropping two and raising three healds and dropping three.
Fig. 7 is a design with only six warp-threads in the "draft" or "gait over." In
forming the "back" the healds rise and fall as in Fig. 6 but in forming the "face"
1 raise and drop the healds as in Fig. 5.
All these seven designs can be made with "tappet" or "treading motions”, of
eighteen or more "picks" to "round of pattern."
Fig. 8 is a design for a cloth having six warp-threads to the "draft" or "gait
over and only nine picks to the round of the tappet and similar in the formation
of the "back" of the cloth to the cloth known as the "Luxemburg Cloth." The
"face" is however different from the "Luxemburg Cloth" in that I work the
"face ends" in pairs as shown in the annexed diagrams. In forming the "Luxem-
burg Cloth" the "face ends" are worked not in pairs but "single."
Fig. 9 is similar to Fig. 8 only in forming the "back" I raise three warp-threads
and drop three in each of the "picks" forming the “back."
Fig. 10 is a design for a so-called " thickset cord." The "face" is formed as is
usual in such "cords" but the "back" is the same in formation as that shown in
Fig. 8.
Fig. 11 is similar on the "face" to Fig. 10 but the "back" is formed as shown
in and described in reference to Fig. 9.
Fig. 12 is a design for a so-called "eight shaft cord" or "six end cord." The
"face" is formed as is usual in these "cords" but the "back" is formed by raising
three ends and dropping three at each " pick."
"
I may remark that "cords made to these designs Figs. 10 11 and 12 will be
better adapted for printing than for "cutting."
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The different "combinations" herein set forth or any mere modification of
the same in manufacturing the cloths or woven fabrics known as "Moleskins,"
"3"
Beaverteens," Velveteens ""Thicksets" and other "cords."
