Improvements relating to the Weaving of Cloth.
We, PAUL NETTLETON EDMONDS, of the Firm of Libby Edmonds & Co., of
Stroud, in the County of Gloucester, Woollen Manufacturer, and THOMAS EATON,
of Whitchurch, in the County of Salop, Tailor, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to the weaving of cloth and has for its object to provide
a fabric or cloth that shall be enforced or thickened in parts for the purpose of
resisting wear; and is more specifically designed to be used in the manufacture
of riding breeches where the sides are subject to rapid wear by constant rubbing
against the sides of the saddle.
Our invention consists in the enforcing or thickening of the cloth by increasing
the number, strength or thickness of the warp yarns so that a continuous enforce-
ment or thickening may run centrally in the web or length of the fabric or cloth;
while the weft yarns may either be uniform or may be increased in number,
strength, or thickness in that part of the fabric or cloth which is to be enforced
or thickened. It is obvious that the enforcing yarns either of warp or weft may
be double threads, or composite yarns of increased strength for the purpose.
We prefer however to provide the enforcing or thickening of the web centrally
and by means of the employment of a greater number of warp yarns with additional
weft yarns which latter will traverse and commingle with the warp yarns in that
part of the cloth only which is to be enforced or thickened.

We, PAUL NETTLETON EDMONDS, of the Firm of Libby. Edmonds & Company, of
Stroud, in the County of Gloucester, Woollen Manufacturer, and THOMAS EATON,
of Whitchurch, in the County of Salop, Tailor, 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 clothing materials, and has for its

page_text: object to provide a fabric or cloth that shall be enforced or thickened in parts for
the purpose of resisting wear and is more specifically designed to be used in the
manufacture of all classes of riding breeches, trousers walking breeches and cycling
knickers, so as to avoid the necessity of strappings or additional pieces of cloth
being sewn to the garment in such parts as are subject to rapid wear.
The invention consists in the enforcing or thickening of the cloth or fabric by
increasing the number strength or thickness of either the warp or weft yarns or
by both combined so that a continuous enforcement or thickening may run centrally
in the web or length of the cloth or fabric.
It is obvious that the enforcing yarns either of warp or weft may be double
threads or composite yarns of increased strength for the purpose. It is preferred
however to provide the enforcing or thickening of the cloth or fabric centrally
and by means of the employment of a greater number of weft yarns which will
traverse and commingle with the warp yarns in the part of the cloth only which
is to be enforced or thickened.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
1. The manufacture of cloth or fabric for the purpose and substantially as
hereinbefore described.
2. The manufacture of cloth enforced or thickened by the increase of the num-
ber strength or thickness of either the warp or weft threads or both so that a
continuous enforcement or thickening may run centrally in the web for the purpose
and substantially as hereinbefore described.
