RESERV
I FREDERICK ROBINSON Surgeon 99 North Street Leeds Yorkshire do hereby
declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN LOOMS FOR WEAVING PILE
FABRICS BY THE DOUBLE-CLOTH METHOD to be as follows :-
I cause the threads of the pile warp to pass between a pair of rollers which are
caused to revolve by suitable gearing in connection with either the "going part” or
any revolving part of the loom.
For the taking up motion I cause the double cloth to pass between a pair of rollers
actuated in a suitable manner. These rollers take up the cloth as it is woven and allow
it to pass into a box or other suitable receptacle.

FREDERICK ROBINSON 99 North Street Leeds Yorkshire Surgeon 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 :-
I cause the threads of the pile warp to pass between a pair of rollers which are
caused to revolve by suitable gearing in connection with the "going part" or any
revolving part of the loom.
For the taking up motion I cause the double cloth to pass between a pair of rollers
actuated in a suitable manner. These rollers take up the cloth as it is woven & allow
it to pass into a box or other suitable receptacle.
In order to enable iny invention to be fully understood I annex a drawing, which
represents in section the improvements as attached to an ordinary loom.
In the drawing A represents the "going part" of the loom vibrating on the pivot B
and carrying the slay & shuttle boxes in the usual manner. The warp to form the
back of the fabric is wound on the roller C, passed over the beam D at the back of
the loom, & shedded at E E' in the usual manner. The pile warp is wound on the
roller F& passes between the two rollers G G³, these rollers are caused to revolve
intermittently by the movement of the "going part," through the link H the lever I
which is pivoted at J and the pawl K which engages with the ratchet wheel L on whose
shaft is a change wheel M which by means of the intermediate wheel N actuates the
wheel O which drives the rollers G & G. The pile warp is caused to pass under the
rod P & through the healds in the usual manner. I regulate the length of pile by
using a larger or smaller change wheel at M.
The double cloth when woven passes over the beam Q & between the rollers RR'
which are actuated intermittently from the "going part" by the pawl S ratchet
wheel T change wheel U and wheels VW and X. I vary the amount of take up by
the size of the change wheel U. The double cloth after passing between the
rollers R & R is allowed to fall loosely into a suitable receptacle.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said Invention &
in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what 1 claim is :
1st. In looms for weaving pile fabrics by the double cloth method the arrangement
for feeding the pile warp substantially as here described.
2nd. In looms for weaving pile fabrics by the double cloth method taking up by
passing the double cloth between two rollers & allowing it to fall freely into a suitable
receptacle.
