page_text: SPECIFICATION.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, MOSES
POOLE, of Lincoln's Inn, in the County of Middlesex, Gentleman, send
greeting.
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at
Westminster, the Twenty-third day of August, in the third year of Iler
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me.
the said Moses Poole, Her especial licence, full power, sole privilege and
authority, that I, the said Moses Poule, my exors, adñiors, and assigns, or
such others as I, the said Moses Poole, my exors, adñiors, or assigns,
should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time and at all
times during the term of years therein expressed, should and lawfully might
make, use, exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and the Town of
Berwick-upon-Tweed, the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN INTRODUCING
ELASTIC MATERIALS INTO FABRICS TO RENDER THEM ELASTIC, OR PARTLY
ELASTIC, communicated to me by a certain Foreigner residing abroad; iu
which said Letters Patent is contained that I, the said Moses Poole,
shall cause a particular description of the nature of the said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in Her
said Majesty's High Court of Chancery within six calendar months next and
immediately after the date of the said in part recited Letters Patent, as in and
by the same, reference being thereunto had, will more fully and at large
appear.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Moses Poole, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention, and
the manner in which the same is to be performed, are fully described and
ascertained in and by the following statement thereof, that is to say:--
The improvements in the modes of introducing elastic materials into fabrics
to render them elastic, or partly elastic, relate-
First, to a mode of introducing strands or threads of india rubber or fine
metallic wire twisted in a spiral form of spring, and such strands or threads of
indian rubber and the wire springs may be either coated or wound round with
a filamentous material or not by braiding, twisting, or other process of cover-
ing internal threads, as is well understood and in general use, such introduc-
tion of threads of indian rubber or of wire springs being made in a transverse
direction across the fabric which is being made in the machinery commonly
called warp lace machinery, which, as is well known, work by means of
interlooping a system of warp threads into each other.
Secondly, the improvements relate to a mode of producing fabrics in the
machine commonly called stocking frame or knitting machinery, by making
certain welts or tubes transversely of the fabric by the working of the machine,
in order to restrain or strengthen the elasticity in the transverse direction in
the whole or at certain parts of fabrics made, or that the fabrics may in such
tubes or welts have threads or bands of indian rubber or other elastic materials,
either covered with filamentous material or not, laid or drawn into them.
Thirdly, the improvements relate to a mode of running covered strands or
narrow bands of indian rubber or of wire spring into knit and looped fabrics,
and into leather and other gloves, by making eyelit holes where it is desired to
have parts of garments more or less elastic, and running such elastic materials
through such holes.
Having thus stated the general nature of the Invention, I will proceed to
explain the best means I am acquainted with for carrying out the Invention.
Warp lace machines and stocking or knitting machines or frames being well
known, I shall only refer to the working of those parts of the respective
machines which are necessary to facilitate the understanding of the Invention,
the first part being carried out upon the warp lace machine, that machine being
furnished with its compliment of threads conducted from the warp beams or
bobbins in the usual manner through guides to the needles, as is well under-
stood, and in all parts being in working order. I will suppose the machine as
standing in the position of what is technically expressed at the end of a course.
In again putting the machine in action the sinker bar will move forward, and
the arches of the sinkers will take over the work; they then recede, carrying

page_text: with them the work already made to the back of the needles; and with the
warp threads (which are under the needles), and on the top of the warp threads,
and under the needles, a thread or threads of indian rubber or other elastic
material, either covered or wound round with a filimentous material or not,
is or are to be laid in, and in such manner as to be shut in, when the warp.
threads are again lapped over the heads of the needles in order to form the next
row of loops, and thus fasten the transverse thread of clastic material into the
fabric. The sinkers now advance a little distance for the purpose of bringing
the work forward upon the shafts of the needles, and the new loops under
the beards of the needles. The presser bar then descends on the beards of the
needles, and rises again while the sinkers advance, bringing the work further
forward over the heads of the needles; the elastic threads or bands are
now shut into the fabric, and the operation of forming the stitches or loops of
the fabric goes on in the ordinary way, repeating the introduction of transverse
elastic material as often as desired; and it will be evident that such transverso
threads may be varied from elastic to non-elastic, and laid in at every course,
or every other course, or more, as necessity will direct; and it will be evident
that if the thread of silk or cotton, or other fibrous materials, be so used, they
will prevent the clastic material being stretched too far. When india rubber
is introduced, it is in the stretched or non-elastic state, and clasticity is
obtained thereto (when the work is taken out of the machine) by means
of heat, as is well understood by persons working with indian rubber; but it is
not necessary that the indian rubber should be in the non-clastic state, as, by
keeping indian rubber (when introduced in the elastic state) stretched to the
desired extent till it is shut in to the fabric, the desired object will be obtained.
From the foregoing description a workman will readily introduce elastic
materials into warp fabrics transversely across the needles, and consequently of
the fabrics as the same is in the progress of manufacture.
The second part of the Invention being performed in the stocking or knitting
machine or frame, I will suppose the stocking, glove, or other knitted fabrics
requiring to be made according to this part of the Invention to be began, and
a small quantity made in the usual way, and hanging on the fronts of the
needles. I make a slack course in the fabric by letting the jacks fall lower
than usual; the working of the machine is then continued either slack or tight,
as before, for several courses, until there is sufficient to make a welt pipe or
tube of the size desired; I then take up the first slack course previously
made, and pass it over the needles, as is well understood, bringing the work
again to the front under the beards of the needles; I then press the beards
into the needle eyes while the work is knocked over, or from the heads of the

page_text: needles. The work is then continued in the same manner, welt after welt,
to the extent desired, and then work'd in the ordinary way to the extent
required. I would here remark that I believe slack courses are the best for
looping on to the needles to produce welts or tubes, although other means may
be resorted to, as well understood, when making welts for selvages. And I
would also remark that by this means any number of welts or tubes may be
made; thus, for instance, supposing the article being made in a stocking ma-
chine to be a stocking, and it is desired to strengthen the elasticity natural to
such looped fabrics above and below the knee; in such case, when the work
is commenced at the top of the stocking, and the ordinary welt or selvage has
been made, there is then to be made one or more welts in close succession,
according to the degree of strength of elasticity desired, and whether it is
intended to run india rubber or wire spring into such welts or tubes, then the
stocking is proceeded with and completed, or in case it be desired to have an
additional strength of elasticity produced under the knee, then there is to be
one or more welts or tubes produced in the fabric at the required places. And
I would also remark that the elastic material, if used, may be laid in when
making the welt or tube, or drawn in subsequently. By this mode of making
various knit fabrics any required elasticity may be obtained.
There is another mode of making pipes or tubes, stocking or knit fabrics, for
the purpose of receiving elastic bands or cords of india rubber or wire spring,
and which consists in taking a tape or ribbon, either woven, knitted, braided, or
otherwise made, and which should have open edges so as they may be
conveniently passed on to the needles and fastened to the fabric in the stocking
or knitting frame; and when one or more courses are made to loop the outer
edge of the tape or band in the same manner on to the fabric, as before
described, to fasten the welts or tubes, and by this means tubes or pipes may
be produced to any required extent, and in part of the work to receive clastic
materials.
The third part of the Invention relates to a mode of applying elastic strands
or bands by running them through holes formed in the fabric. Such bands or
strands, being fastened at the two ends by sewing or otherwise, will produce
elastic bands of stockings, gloves, and other articles of dress, whether knit
or otherwise made. Supposing it to be intended to apply this part of the Inven-
tion to stockings, gloves, or other fabrics made in knitting frames or machines,
at such places as it is desired to produce or introduce elastic bands or strands,
I cause the machine in working to produce a slack course at each place
where an elastic strand or band is to be introduced; and when the fabric is
taken out of the machine, I run in a strand or strands of elastic material by

page_text: means of a needle or bodkin, or other such instrument, and in this way any
number of elastic strands may be introduced. When this part of the Invention
is to be applied to warp fabrics, I cause the machine so to work as to produce
a row or rows of holes, as is well understood by warp hands, and when the
fabric is taken out, I run in one or more strands, according to the row or
rows of holes made to receive them; and in applying this part of the Inven-
tion to leather and other gloves, or other parts of dress, I apply the clastic
material by punching holes in rows, and run therein bands or strands of
clastic material to the extent required, fastening by sewing or otherwise.
In respect to the third part of the Invention, though I prefer that the
holes should be made in the course of working when the fabric is a warp
fabric or knit fabric, but it will be evident that the running in of strands of
india rubber by a needle, bodkin, or such like instrument may be performed
without such holes, by simply running in the strands under and over the
fabric to the extent required, such process of running in of the strands of
india rubber properly covered with fibres being performed when the fabric is
finished by the machine, whether knit or warp fabric. I would remark that
I am aware that elastic threads of india rubber have been introduced into
fabrics while being made to warp lace machinery in a longitudinal direction
of the fabric, and a Patent was taken by Mr. Dunnington for such Inven-
tion; and I am aware that elastic bands to knit fabrics have been made by
introducing strands of india rubber into the work as it is being made in the
needles of stocking or knitting machines, and a Patent was taken for such
invention by Mr. Sevier; and I am also aware that other modes have been
resorted to for applying india rubber to various fabrics, by placing such india
rubber in cases, and affixing such cases by sewing or by cement to various
parts of dress, but the cases have not been made in the machine in the process
of making the fabrics, which Invention was the subject of a Patent granted
to Mr. Hancock; and I am also aware that a Patent was taken by
Mr. Bedeles for an invention for applying elastic bands to knit fabrics, and
there have or may have been other means of applying elastic material in
fabrics; and I mention these modes in order to state that I make no claim
to any other method of applying elastic materials in fabrics than are herein
described and particularly claimed and I would have it understood that what
I claim, is,-
First, the application of elastic strands or threads of indian rubber trans-
versely of the fabrics when being produced in warp lace machines.
Secondly, the making knit fabrics with a series of tubes or welts in the pro-
gress of making, in order to increase the strength of elasticity natural to the

page_text: the fabric, or to receive elastic bands or strands of india rubber or wire spring,
as above explained. And,
-
Thirdly, I claim the mode of introducing or running strands or bands of
india rubber into gloves, stockings, or other parts of fabrics after they are
taken from the machine, as above described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Moses Poole, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty-second day of February, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and forty.

page_text: DISCLAIMER AND MEMORANDUM OF ALTERATIONS.
En the Matter of a Patent granted to MOSES POOLE, of Lincoln's Inn,
in the County of Middlesex, Gentleman, for an Invention (commu-
nicated to him by a certain Foreigner residing abroad, for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN INTRODUCING ELASTIC MATERIALS INTO FABRICS TO RENDER
THEM ELASTIC OR PARTLY ELASTIC," bearing date at Westminster, the
Twenty-third day of August, One thousand eight hundred and thirty-
nine, to which a Specification has been duly inrolled.
DISCLAIMER and MEMORANDUM OF ALTERATIONS proposed to
be entered by Moses Poole with the Clerk of the Patents of England,
pursuant to an Act passed in the fifth and sixth year of the reign of
His late Majesty King William the Fourth, entitled "An Act to amend
the Law touching Letters Patent for Inventions."
I, the said Moses Poole, did describe the Invention to consist,-
First, in a mode of introducing strands or threads of indian rubber or fine
metallic wire, twisted in a spiral form of spring, and such strands or threads of
india rubber; and the wire springs may be either coated or wound round
with a filamentous material or not by braiding, twisting, or other process of
covering internal threads, as is well understood and in general use, such
introduction of threads of india rubber or of wire springs being made in a
transverse direction across the fabric which is being made in the machinery,
commonly called warp lace machinery, which, as is well known, works by
means of interlooping a system of warp threads into each other.
Secondly, to a mode of producing fabrics in the machine commonly called
stocking frame or knitting machine, by making certain welts or tubes trans-
versely of the fabric by the working of the machine, in order to restrain or
strengthen the elasticity in the transverse direction in the whole or at certain
parts of fabrics made, or that the fabrics may in such tubes or welts have
threads or bands of india rubber or other elastic materials, either covered with
filamentous materials or not, laid or drawn into them. And,
Thirdly, to a mode of runuing covered strands or narrow bands of india
rubber or of wire spring into knit and looped fabrics and leather and other
gloves, by making eyelet holes, where it is desired to have parts of garments.
more or less elastic, and running such elastic materials through such holes.
Since the taking of such Letters Patent, and since the inrolment of the said
Specification, the said first part of the Invention has become highly useful, with

page_text: to me by a certain Foreigner residing abroad; in which said Letters Patent
is contained a proviso that I, the said Moses Poole, shall cause a particular
description of the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be enrolled in Her said Majesty's High Court of
Chancery within six calendar months next and immediately after the date of
the said in part recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same, reference being
thereunto had, will more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that, in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Moses Poole, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention, and the
manner in which the same is to be performed, are fully described and aseer-
tained in and by the following statement thereof, that is to say :-
The improvements in the modes of introducing elastic materials into fabrics
to render them elastic or partly elastic relates,-
First, to a mode of introducing strands or threads of indian rubber, er-fine
metallie-wire-twisted in a spiral form of spring, and such strands or threads of
indian rubber-and-the-wire-springs may be either coated or wound round with
a filamentous material or not by braiding, twisting, or other process of covering
internal threads, as is well understood and in general use, such introduction of
threads of indian rubber or-of-wire-springs being made in a transverse direction
across the fabric which is being made in the machinery commonly called warp
lace machinery, which, as is well known, work by means of interlooping a
system of warp threads into each other.
Secondly, the improvements-relate-to-a-mode of producing fabrics-in-the
machine-commonly called stocking frame or knitting machinery, by making certain
welts of tubes-transversely of the fabrie-by the working of the machine, in order to
restrain-of-strengthen-the-elasticity-in-the-transverse-direction, in the whole or at
certain-parts-of-fabrics made, or that-the-fabrics-may-in such tubes or welts have
threads or bands of indian rubber-or-other-elestie materials, either-covered-with
filamentous materials or not, laid-or-drawn into them.
Thirdly, the improvements relate to a mode of running-covered strands of
narrow-bands-of-indian-rubber-or-of wire-spring-into-knit-and-looped fabries, and
into leather and other gloves, by making eyelet holes-when it is desired-to-have
parts of garments more or less-elastie, and running such-elastic materials-through
such-holes.
Having thus stated the general nature of the Invention, I will proceed to
explain the best means I am acquainted with for carrying out the Invention.
Warp lace machines and steeking or knitting machines or frames being well
known, I shall only refer to the working of those parts of the respective
machines, which are necessary to facilitate the understanding of the Invention,

page_text: the-first-part-being carried out upon the warp lace machine, that machine being
furnished with its complement of threads, conducted from the warp beams o
bobbins in the usual manner through guides to the needles, as is well understood
and in all parts being in working order, I will suppose the machine as standing
in the position of what is technically expressed at the end of a course. In
again putting the machine in action the sinker bar will move forward and the
arches of the sinkers will take over the work; they then recede, carrying with
them the work already made to the back of the needles; and with the work the
warp threads (which are under the needles), and on the top of the warp
threads, and under the needles, a thread or threads of indian rubber or other
elastie-material, either covered or wound round with a filamentous material, or
not, is or are to be laid in, and in such manner as to be shut in where the
warp threads are again lapped over the heads of the needles, in order to form
the next row of loops, and thus fasten the transverse thread of elastic material
into the fabric. The sinkers now advance a little distance for the purpose of
bringing the work forward upon the shafts of the needles and the new loops
under the beards of the needles. The presser bar then descends on the beards
of the needles, and rises again while the sinkers advance, bringing the work
further forward over the heads of the needles; the elastic threads or bands
strands are now shut into the fabric, and the operation of forming the stitches or
loops of the fabric goes on in the ordinary way, repeating the introduction of
transverse elastic material as often as desired; and it will be evident that such
transverse threads may be varied from elastic to non-elastic, and laid in at
every course or every other course, or more, as necessity will direct; and
it will be evident that if threads of silk or cotton or other fibrous materials
be so used, they will prevent the elastic material being stretched too far.
When indian rubber is introduced, it is in the stretched or non-clastic state,
and elasticity is obtained thereto (when the work is taken out of the machine)
by means of heat, as is well understood by persons working with indian rubber;
but it is not necessary that the indian rubber should be in the non-elastic state,
as by keeping indian rubber (when introduced in the elastic state) stretched to
the desired extent till it is shut into the fabric, the desired object will be
obtained. From the foregoing description, a workman will readily introduce
materials into warp fabrics transversely across the needles, and consequently
of the fabric, as the same is in the progress of manufacture.
The second part of the Invention-being-performed in the steeking or knitting
machine or frame, I will suppose the stocking, glove, or-other-knitted-fubries
requiring-to-be made according to this part of the Invention to be began,-and-a
small quantity made-in-the-usual-way, and hanging on the fronts of the needles.--

page_text: make-a-sleek course in the fabric by letting the jacks-fall-lower than usual;-the
working of the machine is then continued either-slack-or-tight,-as-before,-for-several
courses, until there is sufficient to make a welt, pipe, or tube-of-the-size-desired.--+
then take-up the first slack-course-previously made, and pass it over the needles,-as
is well-understood, bringing the work again to the front under the beards of the
needles. I then press the beards into the needle-eyes, while the-work-is-kneeked
over-or from the heads-of-the-needles.-The-work-is-then-continued-in-the-same
manner, welt-after welt, to the extent-desired, and then-worked-in-the-ordinary-way
to-the-extent required. I would here remark, that I believe slack-courses-are-the
best-for-looping-on-to-needles to produce welts or tubes, although-other-means may
be-resorted to, as-well-understood, when making welts for selvages-;-and-would
also remark that by this means-any-number-of-welts-or tubes-may-be-made-;-thus
for instance, supposing-the-artiele-being-made in a stocking machine to be a
stocking, and it is desired to strengthen the elasticity natural to such--looped
fabries-above-and-below the knee. In-sueh-ease, when the work is commenced
at the top-of the-stockings-and-the-ordinary-welt or-selvage has been-made, there-is
then-to-be made one OF-IHOFe-welts-in-elose suecession, according to the degree of
strength-of-elasticity-desired-and whether it is intended to-run-india rubber-or-wire
spring-into-such-welts or tubes, then-the-stocking-is-proceeded with-and complete-;
or in-ease it be desired-to-have-an-additional strength of elasticity-produced-under
the knee, then-there-is-to-be-one or more-welts-or-tubes-produced in the fabrie-at
the-required-places. And I would also remark that the elastie material,-if-used,
may-be-laid-in-when-making the welt or tubes-or-drawn-in-subsequently.--By
this-node-of-making-various knit fabries-any-required-elasticity-may-be-obtained.
There-is-another-mode-of-making pipes-or-tubes, stocking or limit fabrics, for the
purpose of receiving elastie bands or cords-of-india-rubber-or-wire-spring, and
which consists in taking a tape or ribbon, either-woven, knitted, braided;-or
otherwise made, and which should have open edges-so-as-they may be conveniently
passed on to--the-needles-and-fastened to the fabric in the steeking or knitting
fraine-;-end-when one or more-courses-are-made to loop the outer edge of the
tape or band in the same manner on to the fabric, as before deseribed, to-fasten
the welts or tubes, and by this means tubes or pipes-may-be-produced--to-any
required extents-and-in-any-part-of the work to receive-elastie-materials.
The third-pan of the Invention relates-to-a-mode-of applying elastie-strands-of
bands-for-running-them-through-holes formed in the fabric.--Such-bands or strands
being fastened at two ends, by sewing, or otherwise will produce elastie-bands-10
stoekings, gloves, and other articles of dress, whether knit or otherwise made,
supposing it be intended to apply this part of the Invention to stockings, gloves, or
other-fabries made-in-knitting-frames or machines; at such-places-as-it-is-desired-te
produce-or-introduce-elastic bands or strands. -1 cause-the machine in working to

page_text: prounce-a-stack course-at-eaen-place where-an-elastie-strand-or band-is-to-be-intro-
dueed; and when the fabrie-is taken out of the machine I-run in a strand-or stands
of elastie-material-by-means-of-a-needle-or-bodkin, or other such instrument;-and
in-this-way-any-number-of-elastic-strands may be introduced. When-this-part-of-the
Invention is to be applied to warp-fabrics, 1 cause the machine-so-to-work-as-to
produce-a-row or rows of holes, as well understood by warp-hands-;-and-when-the
fabrie is taken out I run on one or more-strands, according to the-row-or rows of
holes-made-to-reecive-them-;-and-in applying this part of the Invention to leather
and other gloves, or other parts of dress, I apply the elastic material by-punching
holes in rows, and run therein bands or strands of elastie-material to the-extent
required, fastening-the-ends-by-sewing or otherwise. In respect-to-the--third
part of the Invention, though--prefer that the holes should be made in the course
of-working-when-the-fabric-is-a-warp fabric or knit fabric, but it will be evi
dent that the running-in-of-strands of india rubber-by a needle, bodkin, or such like
instrument, may be performed without such-holes-by-simply-running in-the-strands
under-and-over-the-fabrie,-to-the-extent required, such process of running in of the
strands-of-india-rubber-properly covered with fibres being-performed when the fabrie
is-furnished by the machine, whether-knit or warp-fabrie. I would remark
that I am aware that clastic threads of india rubber have been introduced
into fabrics while being made in warp lace machinery in a longitudinal
direction to the fabric, and a Patent was taken by Mr. Dunnington for
such Invention; and I-am-aware that elastic bands to knit fabrics-have-been
made by introdueing-strands of india rubber into the work as-it-is-being-made-on
the needles of steeking or knitting machines,-and-a-Patent was taken-out-for-such
Invention by Mr.-Sevier; and I am aware that other modes have been resorted
to for applying india rubber to various fabrics by placing such india rubber in
cases, and affixing such cases by sewing or by cement to various parts of dress;
but the cases have not been made in the machine in the process of making the
fabrics, which Invention was the subject of a Patent granted to Mr. Hancock;
and I am also aware that a Patent was taken by Mr. Bedelles for an Invention
for applying elastic bands to knit fabrics, and there have or may have been
other means of applying elastic material in fabrics; and I mention these modes
in order to state that I make no claim to any other means of applying clastic
material in fabrics; and 1 mention these modes in order to state that I make
no claim to any other methods of applying clastic materials in fabrics than are
herein described and particularly claimed; and I would have it understood
that what I claim is, -
First, the application of elastic strands or threads of india rubber transversely
of the fabrics when being produced in warp lace machines.
Secondly, the-making-knit-fabries-with-a-series-of-tubes-or-wels-in-the-progress

page_text: of-making-in-order to enerease the strength-of-elasticity natural to the fabrie, or t
Feeeive elastie bands or strands of-india-rubber-or-wire-spring, as above explained.
Andy
Thirdly, claim the mode of introducing-or-running-strands or bands-of-india
rubber-into-gloves, stockings, or other parts-of-fabries after they are taken from the
machine-as-above described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Moses Poole, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty-second day of February, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and forty.
