Improvements in the Manufacture by Hand of Plushes and
the like.
A communication to me from PAUL KOTTLORS, of the Firm of Valley and
P. Kottlors, of Krappitz, Silesia, in the Empire of Germany, Smyrna and
Persian Carpet Manufacturers.
1, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the Firm of Edwards and Co., Patent Agents and
Engineers, of 65 and 66, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object an improvement in the method of making by
hand, plushes and the like fabrics, and its essential feature consists in the use of a
woollen thread for the stitches, which, by means of a suitable needle is inserted
and knotted in the following manner between two separate parallel adjoining
threads of the canvas upon which the fabric is to be formed.
A thread of wool or other material suitable for the purpose is first inserted from
above downward, between the two adjoining threads of the canvas, and is then
brought completely round the latter, and over the adjoining canvas thread
and round the latter, and up between the two canvas threads, in a position
adjoining the thread first introduced and so that both threads are at the same
level.
Instead of a single woollen thread being used to form the stitch as described, a
double thread may be used, the stitch being formed exactly in the same way, but
with two threads simultaneously, instead of with one only.

Improvements in the Manufacture by Hand of Plushes and

A communication to me from PAUL KOTTLORS, of the Firm of Valley and

Persian Carpet Manufacturers.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the Firm of Edwards and Co., of 65 and 66, Chancery
Lane, in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agents and Engineers, 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,
and accompanying drawings, that is to say :-
This invention has for its object an improvement in the method of making by
hand, plushes and the like fabrics, and its essential feature consists in the use of a
woollen thread for the stitches, which, by means of a suitable needle is inserted
and knotted between two separate parallel adjoining threads of the canvas upon
CD

page_text: which the fabric is to be formed, in the manner hereinafter described, more
particularly with reference to the annexed drawing, Figure 1 of which is a section
on the line -a, Figure 2,
Figure 2 is a plan;
Figure 3 is a section on the line y-y, Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a second plan;
Figures 5 to 8 represent a second modification, Figure 5 being a section on the
line, Figure 6; Figure 6 a plan; Figure 7 a section on the line y'-y',
Figure 5; and Figure 8 a second plan.
The same letters of reference refer to the same parts in the several figures.
As will be seen from Figures 1 and 2, a thread a of wool or other suitable
material is inserted from above downward between the two adjoining threads b, b
of the canvas as indicated by the arrow 1. The thread a is then brought
completely round the two adjoining threads b, b, as indicated by the arrows 2, 3, 4, 5
and 6.
The thread a is then brought up between the two threads b, b, as shewn by the
arrow 7, Figures 1 to 3. In this manner the thread first introduced, and that
which has just been brought up, will be in such a position that one of them adjoins
the other, and both threads are at the same level. Finally, on these two threads is
exerted by hand an upward strain, so as to bring them from the position in
Figure 2, into that in Figure 4, that is to say, those parts of the thread a which
are situated properly between the threads bare flattened, and the threads b
allowed to go back into their original, that is to say, into their straight, position.
In Figures 1 to 4, a single thread a only is used, but as will be seen from
Figures 5 to 8, there may also be used two threads a', a simultaneously, or even
more than two threads without departing from the scope of the present invention.
The novel method of making plushes and the like may be executed, by making
use of threads a of a length adapted to form several loops, and in making use of no
other device than a needle. It is further an improvement upon methods heretofore
used, inasmuch as the loops are placed in a row on a finished wide-woven ground-
fabric such as canvas.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The method of making, by hand, plushes and the like fabrics, in which the
thread a is brought by means of a needle downward between two adjoining
threads b, b of the canvas, then brought completely round the threads b, band
finally brought upward between these threads, substantially as set forth with
reference to Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing, and for the purpose
specified.
