PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Wires employed for Supporting
Cards in Jacquards used in Looms and like Machines.
I, RICHARD WILLIAM BATES Weaver 11 Kingfield near Coventry Warwick
do hereby declare the nature of my invention to be as follows:-
Which is hooks formed on single wires, which I propose to make, either by
stamping, or, by bending one piece of wire into the desired form, or, making the
heoks seperate and brazing them on the wires, or, any other way found most
desirable, the use for these hooks on the wires are for hooking between two cards
on the cords which the cards are laced together with, between any desired number
of cards, these wires are for resting on a cradle, for cards to hang on in the cradle,
to keep the cards in their desired place and working order, when these wires are
hooked in their places, both ends project out a little from each end of the cards,
so, as these wires can rest on the cradle which the cards hang in, on these wires,
and as the cylinder of the machine, works round, which these cards work over, it
pulls the cards and wires over it out of the cradle, and as the cards and wires leave
the cylinder, after, going over it, the cards drop into the cradle again, and the ends
of the wires rest on the cradle, with the cards still hanging on these wires, in the
cradle and keeping the cards in their desired place and working order again.
Dated this 2nd day of July 1893.

RICHARD WILLIAM BATES, Weaver 11 Kingfield near Coventry Warwick
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:-
Which is hooks formed on single wires which I propose to make either by
stamping or by bending one piece of wire into the desired form or making the
hooks seperate and brazing them on the wires or any other way found most
desirable the use for these hooks on the wires are for booking between two cards
on the cords which the cards are laced together with between any desired number
of cards these wires are for resting on a cradle for cards to hang on in the cradle
to keep the cards in their desired place and working order when these wires are
hooked in their places both ends project out a little from each end of the cards
so as these wires can rest on the cradle which the cards hang in on these wires
and as the cylinder of the machine works round which these cards work over it
pulls the cards and wires over it out of the cradle and as the cards and wires leave
the cylinder after going over it the cards drop into the cradle again and by the
use of the hooks lettered A on drawing sheet which keep the wires in their desired
place and the ends of the wires lettered B on drawing sheet rest on the cradle
with the cards still hanging on the wires in the cradle and keeping the cards in
their desired place and working order again.
The full size thickness of the wire is represented in the drawing.

page_text: 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 :
(1) The use of two or more hooks fixed or stamped on wires for supports for
cards in jacquards used in looms and like machines.
