the nature of this invention a communication to me from abroad by Gebrüder
Wertheimer of 10 Rohrteichstrasse, Bielefeld in the Empire of Germany
Manufacturers and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to enable single pile fabrics to be made in which
the pile is tied with one pick of weft only and is locked by an additional warp
floated over the back of the fabric in such a manner as to pass over the back of

page_text: the pile warp where it is tied in and thus prevent it from being loosened or pushed
out on the back of the fabric.
To the four leaves used for the ground warp and the two leaves used for the
pile warp, two more leaves are added for the floating warp.
In the drawing filed with my Provisional Specification
Fig. 1 shows the draught a designating the two additional leaves by which the
floating warp is carried, b showing the leaves for the ground warp, and c the two
leaves for the pile warp. I shows the first reed, II the second reed, the third is
the same as the first, the fourth is the same as the second and so on.
Fig. 2 shows the cording, a b c d e f representing the treddles a¹ and d
referring to the knife guide bar over which the pile warp is floated in the known
manner in the weaving of single pile fabrics; the sign X placed on the crossing
lines of leaves and treadles denoting downward movement, the sign O denoting
upward movement.
Fig. 3 shows the order in which the treddles are to be operated from which
it will be seen that the fifth follows the first and that the second follows the
fourth.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
(1.) A single pile fabric in which the pile is tied with one pick of weft only
and is locked by an additional warp floated over the back of the fabric in such a
manner as to pass over the back of the pile warp where it is tied in for the purpose
set forth.
