Complete Specification Accepted, 7th Dec., 1888
I WILLIAM STANSFIELD of 32 New Crescent Newchurch Rossendale in the County
of Lancaster Felt Carpet Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of bordered stair carpets and squares of
felt and borders for squares, the object of the invention being to produce thereon a
border having a more artistic and ornamental effect than hitherto obtained.
In the manufacture of such bordered stair carpets and squares and borders for
squares it has always been usual to produce the border by printing only and if it
was desired to obtain an artistic effect this could only be done on plain dyed wool
felts by printing, which does not give so clear and distinct a design as obtained by
my invention.
According to my invention I can make the whole width of the carpet of white, grey
or dyed wool (as preferred) and 1 can produce thereon a border of the most artistic
effect that can be desired.
I take a piece of felt either dyed and printed, or plain dyed, or printed on the
white or grey, and I cut it up into strips of the required width for stair carpeting
or borders for squares or into squares of the required size, and I embroider an
ornamental border thereon by means of a chain stitch or other embroidery machine
in woollen thread or other suitable material, and by these means I can produce the
most brilliant ornamental borders in bright or sombre colors on the different colored
grounds, much superior and artistic in appearance than any borders that have hitherto
been produced upon felt carpeting by printing or other ordinary means.
