PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said John Garrett Tongue at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on
the 1st April 1872.
I, JOHN GARRETT TONGUE, of the Firm of Tongue & Birkbeck,
Patent Agents & Engineers, of 34, Southampton Buildings, Chancery
Lane, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of.
the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF ⚫ TAPESTRY'
AND BRUSSELS' CARPETS, AND SIMILAR PILE FARBICS," to be as follows:-
The first part of this Invention relates to improvements in that class
of carpets known as "tapestry" or carpets made with a pile, the loops.

page_text: of which forming the figure are partli-colored, the thread of worsted
or figure warp being printed or dyed with different colors before or
after being woven. In the manufacture of such carpets the line of
loops of any one pick are held down upon the top of the stuffing warp
by and only by the upper filling thread or shoot of weft, the color or
pile warp and the stuffing being enclosed between the upper and under
shoot weft or filling threads, the stuffing threads being straight and the
color warp projecting up in the form of loops. Carpets thus woven
are weak in structure, so far as concerns the pile or colour warp,
because the loops are only thus held down or in respective position,
and the catching of any point or projection upon one loop easily pulls
the adjacent loops down to the stuffing and destroys the pile, so that
in using carpet stretchers, or in walking upon such carpets with boots,
the nails of the heels of which slightly project, the loops are often
caught and a succession of them pulled down to the stuffing warp,
destroying the figure, exposing the ground threads, and ruining the
beauty of the carpet.
This Invention is designed to obviate this defective construction, by
such disposition of the picks of weft with reference to the stuffing
linen and figure warps as shall securely fasten or bind the colour warp
at the bases of the loops so that each warp thread instead of passing
simply under the adjacent upper shoots of weft thread shall extend
over the upper shoots and under the under shoots, being thus fastened
and interlocked with both shoots, thereby so binding the pile or colour
warp as to render it impossible to draw it up or ravel it to any extent
beyond the loops next adjacent to the loop caught or pulled upon.
And it is in the manufacture of a tapestry carpet, or pile fabric
having such a formation, that this part of the Invention consists by
having the warp loops bound by and interlocked with the weft threads,
substantially in the manner herein-after described and shown in the
Drawings hereunto annexed.
The following is a technical description of the relation of the respec-
tive threads of this improved pile-fabric.
In Figures 1 and 2, ƒ denotes the pile wires; g, h, the weft or shuttle
threads; a, the worsted warp; b, the stuffing warp; and c, d, the two
halves of the linen warp. The sheds repeat 'themselves after four picks.
At the first pick, see Figure 1, the worsted warp a is up, the stuffing

page_text: warp 6 and half of linen warp d is down, and the half of linen warp c
is at the middle, thus forming a double shed, the top one for the
insertion of a pile wire f, and the bottom one for a pick of weft ġ. At
the second pick, see Figure 2, the worsted warp a and linen warp d are
3 down, and the stuffing warp 6 and linen c are up, thus forming a shed
for the insertion of a pick of weft h. At the third pick, the worsted
warp a is up, the stuffing 6 and half of linen c are down, and the half
of linen d is at the middle, forming a double shed for a pile wire f, and
a pick g in the top and bottom sheds respectively. At the fourth pick,
the worsted a and half of linen c are down, and the stuffing 6 and half
of linen d are up, forming a shed for the pick of weft h. These last
two picks are the same as the first two, with the exception that the half
of the linen warp d is up and c is down, reversing their position shown
in the first two picks.
The weavers draught for the same is shown in the diagram A, in
which means in the top of the shed, m in the middle of the shed, and c
in the bottom of the shed.
The disposition of the threads is shown as modified in Figures 3, 4,
and 5, the same letters referring to the same parts as in Figures 1
and 2. The sheds repeat themselves after six picks. At the first pick,
see Figure 3, the worsted warp a is up, the stuffing 6 and linen d are
down, and linen c is at the middle, forming a double shed for the
insertion of a pile wire f and a pick 9 in the top and bottom sheds
respectively. At the second pick, see Figure 4, the worsted warp a
and linen d are down, the stuffing 6 and linen c are up, forming a shed
for the insertion of the pick h. At the third pick, see Figure 5, the
worsted warp a, the linen d, and the stuffing 6 are down, and the linen c
is up, forming a shed for the insertion of the pick i. For the three
remaining picks the sheds are formed the same, except that the linen
warp c is in the position of d; and d is in the position of c.
The weavers draught for the same is shown in the diagram B, in
which, as before, x means in the top of the shed, m in the middle of the
shed, and c in the bottom of the shed.
"
Figures 1, 2, 3 A (Sheet 2 of the Drawings) show Diagrams of a linen
back "tapestry carpet made according to the second part of these
improvements, woven with one pick under wire, and one pick between
wires, the sheds being repeated after six picks.

page_text: The same letters refer to corresponding parts in Sheet 1, M and N.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 B, "tapestry," two picks under the wire, the
worsted carried down under the back pick.
Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4G (Sheet 3), show Diagrams of a linen back
carpet made according to the third part of these improvements, with two
picks under the wire, and one pick between the wires. Ordinary tapestry
back, Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 H, is woven with two picks under the wire,
one pick between wires, and worsted carried down under the back pick.
Figure 10 (Sheet 2) shows a Diagram of the ordinary tapestry carpet,
the worsted being bound down to the "stuffer" by the top pick, the
lower and upper picks forming with the warp the canvass upon which
the worsted lays tacked to it.
The Figures above referred to show Diagrams for the manufacture of
tapestry carpets according to these improvements, some of them having
the worsted tacked on the canvass by the top and pick under the wire,
which renders the worsted more secure, but not so reliable as where
the worsted is carried down under the back pick and having a pick
under the wire to prevent the loop from being drawn through the
canvass. If desired, a pick can intervene between the wires, but it is
not essential, as a good fabric is made by the mode shown by the
Diagrams, Figures 1, 2, and 3 M (Sheet 1).
Figures 4 and 5 N (Sheet 1) show Diagrams with a pick between
the wires, but whilst costing more for material and time in weaving,
is no better either for wear or for preventing the loops from pulling out.
"
In all the Figures referred to, a is the pile warp, c and d the two
halves of the linen warp, and 6 the "stuffer" warp.
In Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 G (Sheet 3) the sheds are formed in suc-
cession as shown. The linen warp remains passive during the four
movements; c and d are then raised and remain so for four pricks more
whilst the operations shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 H are again
repeated. So also in all the Figures shown, the two halves of the linen
warp change places and repeat.
Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 I (Sheet 4) show Diagrams illustrating the
fourth part of these improvements, which relates to the weaving or
manufacture of "Brussels" carpets or similar pile fabrics. In weaving
this fabric there are two picks of weft under the wire, and one between

page_text: the wires, the motions being repeated after eight picks. This is similar
to ordinary "Brussels," with the addition of two picks under the wire.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 L (Sheet 4) show Diagrams in which there are
two picks under the wire, the pile worsted being carried down under the
back pick, and repeated after eight picks (the linen warp changing after
four picks).
Figures 1 and 2 E (Sheet 5) show Diagrams which illustrate the fifth
part of these improvements for weaving "Brussels" carpets (or similar
pile fabrics) with six frames of colors. In this method of weaving, one
pick is put in under the wire, the pile thread is carried down under the
bottom pick, and repeated after four picks. In this case there being
no picks between the wires, all the pile must go to the back.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 F (Sheet 5) show similar Diagrams in which one
pick is put in under the wire, and one pick between the wires, the pile
warp being carried down under the bottom pick, and motions repeated
after six picks, which is the method of weaving preferred according to
this part of these improvements.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 C (Sheet 6) show Diagrams which illustrate the
sixth part of these improvements, which also relates to improved
methods of weaving "Brussels" carpets and similar pile fabrics. These
diagrams show one pick under the wire, and one pick between the wires.
Five frames of colored threads are shown for the pile by the letters
m (black), n (scarlet), o (white), p (green), and q (blue), which colored
threads appear from time to time upon the surface, and disappear by
passing into the body warp of the fabric. Operations repeat after six
picks.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 D (Sheet 6) show similar diagrams with one pick
between the wires, and one pick under pile wire, some of the pile threads
being carried down under bottom pick.
It is obvious, that whilst in ordinary "tapestry" carpets all the
surface loops forming the pile are liable to be pulled out, "Brussels" is
weak only where a particular color runs or appears for a considerable
distance on the surface. Those pile threads which appear and then
disappear (into the body of the fabric) are firmly held and cannot be
made much more secure, and according to this part of these improve-
ments the jacquard apparatus will be caused to carry down the worsted

page_text: or pile warp to be caught by the back picks in those portions of the
figure or design only which are exposed.
The Diagrams, Figures 1, 2, and 3 D (Sheet 6), show the structure of
a fabric in which the pile thread is sometimes bound as ordinarily (on
the top), and sometimes under the back pick.
The ground and sometimes the "medallion" of the carpet require this
extra stitching, so that the pick between the wires cannot be dispensed
with unless all the pile warps are carried down and caught by the back
pick. It is only intended to carry down the pile warps when it is
necessary to do so.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said John Garrett Tongue in the Great Seal Patent
Office on the 1st October 1872.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, JOHN
GARRETT TONGUE, of the Firm of Tongue and Birkbeck, Patent Agents
and Engineers, of 34, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, in the
County of Middlesex, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the First day of April, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-two, in the thirty-fifth
year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give
and grant unto me, the said John Garrett Tongue, Her special licence
that I, the said John Garrett Tongue, my executors, dministrators,
and assigns, or such others as I, the said John Garrett Tongue, my
executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree with,
and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during the
term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise,
and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE MANUFACTURE OF 'TAPESTRY' AND 'BRUSSELS' CARPETS, AND SIMILAR
PILE FABRICS," a communication to me from abroad by George Crompton,
of Worcester, Massachusetts, United States of America, upon the
condition (amongst others) that I, the said John Garrett Tongue, my
executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under my, or

page_text: their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe and

i
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said John Garrett Tongue, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement thereof, that is to say:-
$5
The first part of this Invention relates to improvements in that class
of carpets known as tapestry" or carpets. made with a pile, the loops
of which forming the figure are parti-colored, the thread of worsted or
figure warp being printed or dyed with different colors before or after
being woven. In the manufacture of such carpets the line of loops of
any one pick are held down upon the top of the stuffing warp by and
only by the upper filling thread or shoot of weft, the color or pile warp
and the stuffing being enclosed between the upper and under shoot weft
or filling threads, the stuffing threads being straight, and the color warp
projecting up in the form of loops. Carpets thus woven are weak in
structure so far as concerns the pile or color warp, because the loops are
only thus held down, or in respective position, and the catching of any
point or projection upon one loop easily pulls the adjacent loops down to
the stuffing and destroys the pile, so that in using carpet stretchers, or
in walking upon such carpets with boots, the nails of which slightly
project, the loops are often caught and a succession of them pulled down
to the stuffing warp, destroying the figure, exposing the ground threads,
and ruining the beauty of the carpet.
This Invention is designed to obviate this defective construction, by
such disposition of the picks of weft with reference to the stuffing linen
and figure warp as shall securely fasten or bind the color warp at the
bases of the loops, so that each warp thread instead of passing simply
under the adjacent upper shoots of weft thread shall extend over the
upper shoots and under the under shoots, being thus fastened and inter-
locked with both shoots, thereby so binding the pile or color warp as to
render it impossible to draw it up or ravel it to any extent beyond the
loops next adjacent to the loop caught or pulled upon.

page_text: And it is in the manufacture of a tapestry carpet or pile fabric having
such a formation that this part of the Invention consists by having the

The following is a technical description of the relation of the respective
threads of this improved pile fabric :-
At the second
are down, and
In Figures 1 and 2f denotes the pile wires; g, h, the weft or shuttle
threads; a, the worsted warp; b, the stuffing warp; and c, d, the two
halves of the linen warp. The sheds repeat themselves after four picks.
At the first pick, see Figure 1, the worsted warp a is up the stuffing
warp b, and half of linen warp d is down, and the half of linen warp c is
at the middle, thus forming a double shed, the top one for the insertion
of a pile wire f, and the bottom one for a pick of weft g.
pick, see Figure 2, the worsted warp a and linen warp d
the stuffing warp 6 and linen c are up, thus forming a shed for the inser-
tion of a pick of weft h. At the third pick the worsted warp a is up, the
stuffing 6 and half of linen c are down, and the half of linen d is at the
middle, forming a double shed for a pile wire fand a pick 9 in the top
and bottom sheds respectively. At the fourth pick the worsted a and
half of linen c are down, and the stuffing 6 and half of linen & are up,
forming a shed for the pick of weft h. These last two picks are the same
as the first two, with the exception that the half of the linen warp d is
up and c is down, reversing their position shown in the first two
picks.
The weaver's draught for the same is shewn in the Diagram A, in
which means in the top of the shed, m in the middle of the shed, and c
in the bottom of the shed.
The disposition of the threads is shown as modified in Figures 3, 4,
and 5, the same letters referring to the same parts, as in Figures 1 and 2.
The sheds repeat themselves after six picks. At the first pick, see
Figure 3, the worsted warp a is up, the stuffing b and linen d are down,
and linen c is at the middle, forming a double shed for the insertion of a
pile wire and a pick g in the top and bottom sheds respectively. At
the second pick, see Figure 4, the worsted warp a and linen d are down,
the stuffing 6 and linen c are up, forming a shed for the insertion of the
pick h. At the third pick, see Figure 5, the worsted warp a, the linen d,

page_text: and the stuffing 6 are down, and the linen c is up, forming a shed for the
insertion of the pick i. For the three remaining picks the sheds are
formed the same, except that the linen warp c is in the position of d,
and d in the position of c.
The weaver's draught for the same is shewn in the Diagram B, in
which, as before, x means in the top of the shed, m in the middle of the
shed, and c in the bottom of the shed.
Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 (Sheet 2 of the Drawings) shew Diagrams of a linen.
back "tapestry" carpet made according to the second part of these
improvements, woven with one pick under wire and one pick between
wires, the sheds being repeated after six picks.
The same letters refer to corresponding parts in Sheet 1, M and N.
At the first pick, see Figure 1 A, Sheet 2, the worsted warp a is up,
the stuffing warp b and half of linen warp d are down, and the half of
linen warp c is at the middle, thus forming a double shed; the top one
for the insertion of a pile wire f, and the bottom one for a pick of weft g.
At the second pick, see Figure 2 A, the worsted warp a, the stuffing
warp 6, and half of linen warp c are up, and the half of linen warp d is
down, thus forming a shed for the insertion of a pick of weft h. At the
third pick, Figure 3 A, the worsted warp a, stuffing warp b, and the half
of linen warp d are down, the half of linen warp c being up, thus form-
ing a shed for the insertion of the pick j. For the three remaining picks
the sheds are formed the same as those previously described, except that
the linen warp c is in the position of d, and d is in the position of c.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 B, "tapestry," two picks under the wires, worsted
carried down under the back pick. At the first pick, Figure 1B, the
worsted warp a is up, the stuffing warp 6 and half of linen warp d is
down, and the half of linen warp c is at the middle, thus forming a
double shed; the top one for the insertion of the pile wire f, and the
bottom one for a pick of weft g. At the second pick, see Figure 2 B,
the stuffer b and half of linen warp c are up, the worsted warp a and
half of linen warp d are down, forming a shed for the insertion of a
pick h. At the third pick, see Figure 3 B, the worsted warp a and half
of linen warp c are up, the stuffer 6 and half of linen warp d are down,
forming a shed for the insertion of a pick j. For the three remaining
picks the sheds are formed the same as those previously described,

page_text: except that the linen warp c is in the position of d, and d is in the
position of c.
•
Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4G (Sheet 3) shew Diagrams of a linen back
carpet made according to the third part of these improvements, with two
picks under the wire and one pick between the wires. At the first pick,
Figure 1G (Sheet 3), the worsted warp a is up, the stuffing warp 6 and
half of linen warp d is down, and the half of linen warp c is at the
middle, thus forming a double shed; the top one for the insertion of a
pile wire f, and the bottom one for a pick of weft 9. At the second
pick, see Figure 2G, the worsted warp a, stuffer b, and half of linen
warp d are down, and the half of linen warp c is up, thus forming a shed
for the insertion of a pick j. At the third pick, Figure 3 G, the worsted
warp a, stuffer b, and the half of linen warp c are up, the half of linen
warp_d being down, thus forming a shed for a pick of weft h. At the
fourth pick, Figure 4 G, the worsted warp a and half of linen warp care
up, the stuffer 6 and half of linen warp d being down, thus forming a
shed for the insertion of a pick of weft i. For the four remaining picks
the sheds are formed the same as those previously described, except that
the linen warp c is in the position of d, and d is in the position of c.
Ordinary tapestry back, Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 H, is woven with two
picks under the wire, one pick between wires, and worsted carried down
under the back pick. At the first pick, see Figure 1 H, Sheet 3, the
worsted warp a is up, the stuffer b and half of linen warp d are down;
half of linen warp c being at the middle, thus forming a double shed for
the insertion of a pile wire ƒ and a pick y in the top and bottom sheds
respectively. At the second pick, Figure 2H, the worsted warp a, the
stuffer b, and the half of linen warp d are down, the half of linen warp c
being up, thus forming a shed for the insertion of a pick of weft j. At
the third pick, Figure 3 H, the worsted warp a and half of linen warp d
are down, the stuffer b and half of linen warp c being up, thus forming
a shed for a pick of weft h. At the fourth pick, Figure 4 H, the
stuffer b and half of linen warp d are down, the worsted warp a and
half of linen warp c being up, thus forming a shed for the pick of weft i.
For the four remaining picks the sheds are formed the same as those
previously described, except that the linen warp c is in the position of d,
and d is in the position of c.
Figure 10 (Sheet 2) shews a Diagram of the ordinary "tapestry”

page_text: the lower and upper picks forming with the warp the canvas upon
which the worsted lays tacked to it.
The Figures above referred to shew Diagrams for the manufacture of
"tapestry" carpets according to these improvements, some of them having
the worsted tacked on the canvas by the top pick and pick under the
wire, which renders the worsted more secure, but not so reliable as
where the worsted is carried down under the back pick, and having a
pick under the wire to prevent the loop from being drawn through the
canvas.
If desired a pick can intervene between the wires, but it is not
essential, as a good fabric is made by the mode shewn by the Diagrams,
Figures 1 and 2 M (Sheet 1).
Figures 3, 4, and 5 N (Sheet 1) shew Diagrams with a pick between
the wires in addition to the arrangement previously described; but
whilst costing more for material and time in weaving is no better, either
for wear or for preventing the loops from pulling out.
In all the Figures referred to a is the pile warp; c and d, the two
halves of the linen warp; and b, the "stuffer" warp.
In Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4G (Sheet 3) the sheds are formed in suc-
cession, as shewn. The linen warp remains passive during the four
movements, c and d are then raised and remain so for four picks more
whilst the operations shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4H are again
repeated. So also in all the Figures shown the two halves of the linen
warp change places, and repeat.
Figures 1, 2, 3, and 41 (Sheet 4) shew Diagrams illustrating the
fourth part of these improvements, which relates to the weaving or
manufacture of "Brussels" carpets or similar pile fabrics. In weaving
this fabric there are two picks of weft under the wire and one between
the wire, the motions being repeated after eight picks. This is similar to
ordinary Brussels," with the addition of two picks under the
wire.
"
Figures 1, 2, and 3L (Sheet 4) shew Diagrams in which there are
two picks under the wire, the pile worsted being carried down under the
back pick and repeated after eight picks (the linen warp changing after
four pricka i

page_text: Figures 1 and 2 E (Sheet 5) shew Diagrams which illustrate the fifth
part of these improvements for weaving "Brussels" carpets (or similar
fabrics) with six frames of colors. In this method of weaving one pick
is put in under the wire, the pile thread is carried down under the bottom
pick and repeated after four picks. In this case, there being no picks
between the wires, all the pile must go to the back..
Figures 1, 2, and 3 F (Sheet 5) shew similar Diagrams, in which onc
pick is put in under the wire and one pick between the wires, the pile
warp being carried down under the bottom pick, the motions being
repeated after six pricks, which is the method of weaving preferred
according to this part of these improvements.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 C (Sheet 6) shew Diagrams which illustrate the
sixth part of these improvements which also relates to improved methods
of weaving "Brussels" carpets and other similar pile fabrics. These
Diagrams shew one pick under the wire and one pick between the
wires. Five frames of colored threads are shewn for the pile by the
letters m (black), n (scarlett), o (white), p (green), and q (blue), which
threads appear from time to time upon the surface, and disappear by
passing into the body warp of the fabric. These operations repeat after
six picks.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 D (Sheet 6) shew similar Diagrams with one pick
between the wires and one pick under pile wire, some of the pile threads
being carried down under bottom pick.
"
It is obvious that whilst in ordinary. " tapestry carpets all the sur-
face loops forming the pile are liable to be pulled out, "Brussels" is
weak only where a particular color runs or appears for a considerable
distance on the surface. Those pile threads which appear and then dis-
appear (into the body of the fabric) are quite firmly held, and cannot be
made much more secure, and according to this part of these improve-
ments the jacquard apparatus will be caused to carry down the worsted
or pile warp to be caught by the back picks in those portions of the
figure or design only which is exposed.
The Diagrams, Figures 1, 2, and 3D (Sheet 6) shew the structure of
a fabric in which the pile thread is sometimes bound as ordinarily (on
the top), and sometimes under the back pick.
The ground, and sometimes the "medallion" of the carpet, require

the pick between the wires cannot be dispensed with unless all the pile
warps are carried down and caught by the back pick.
intended to carry down the pile warps when it is necessary to do so.
It is only
