page_text: We, WILLIAM GREEN, WILLIAM CLEMENT GREEN of New Road Mills Kidder-
minster Manufacturers and JOSEPH NICHOLLS of Kidderminster Manager do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
According to our invention we make tapestry or Brussels power looms to weave
4 shot velvet pile or round wire carpets, rugs; mats &; by simply arranging the
wire motion to nip every alternate wire, thus with the ordinary two shot lifting
tappets we can make four shot velvet or round wire carpets & viz two shots
on the face of carpet between the wires and two shots on the back of carpet,
which gives the pile the same bind as in ordinary three shot carpets & and makes
an additional weft on the back as well, this being done without any alteration
whatever in the treddle box which remains the same as for two shot weaving, by
which means we effect a saving in time and expense in changing to four shot
weaving.
We also make a new kind of tapestry carpets, rugs, or mats, giving such
carpets & the effect of Axminster goods, this is accomplished by printing 6s or 7",
3 fold worsted or woollen yarn for the surface or pile and 6, 7, 8 or 9 ply 16 lb jute
for stuffer with a linen, jute or cotton chain, for binder, and linen or jute weft.
The worsted or woollen we print on ordinary tapestry printing drums, but two
ends are printed exactly alike, instead of each end being different, and this, com-
bined with weaving the fabric with about three four or five wires to the inch
instead of eight or more as is usual, gives to the appearance of the surface of the
carpets rugs & the same effect as Axminster goods.
The stuffer being composed of thick twisted jute, and the chain or binder being
used double and drawn through the gears so as to work one half every alternate
shot give to the back of the fabric a heavy substantial effect such as is given to
Axminster carpets and rugs.

page_text: Our present invention is to use, in making this improved fabric, 216 dents in the
reed or sley with one end of worsted or woollen in each reed and also 216 ends of
6, 7, 8 or 9 ply 16 lb jute, and a chain consisting of 216 double or treble ends of
jute, the chain by working alternately giving the back a twilled appearance, and
in the case of rugs and mats we intend making the chain a contrasting color to
the stuffer and weft, thus if the stuffer and weft are black, the chain will be white,
but we reserve to ourselves the right of using more or less ends of worsted or
woollen, stuffer and binder if we deem advisable.
Our present invention is also to weave the improved fabric on the four shot
loom as described in the former part of this specification but we reserve to ourselves
the right of weaving the carpets & two shot or three shot if necessary.

We, WILLIAM GREEN, WILLIAM CLEMENT GREEN of New Road Mills Kidder-
minster, Manufacturers and JOSEPH NICHOLLS of Kidderminster Manager 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:
According to our invention we make Tapestry or Brussels Two shot power looms
to weave 4 shot velvet pile or round wire carpets, rugs, mats & by simply arranging
the wire motion to miss every alternate wire, thus with the ordinary two shot
lifting tappets we can make four shot velvet or round wire carpets & viz two shots
on the face of carpet between the wires and two shots on the back of carpet,
which gives the pile the same bind as in ordinary threet shot carpets & and
makes an additional weft on the back as well, this being done without any
alteration whatever in the treadle box which remains the same as for two shot
weaving by which means we effect a saving in time and expense in changing to
four shot weaving.
In the Crossley or Smith loom the wire motion is most easily arranged by
making the bevel wheels which drive the wire motion so that the large wheel will
contain four times the number of teeth there are in the small one, thus if the small
bevel wheel has 20 teeth the large one will have 80 or any other number of teeth
in the same proportion (viz 4 to 1) to each other.
In the Moxon loom the wire motion is most easily arranged by taking away the
double wire motion tappet and substituting a single tappet in its place.
We specify these two methods of arranging the wire motion but do not confine
ourselves to these only our invention being that we change a carpet loom adapted
for weaving two shot carpets to make it weave four shot carpets rugs or such like
fabrics by altering the wire motion only without interfering with any other part of
the loom.
We also make a new kind of tapestry carpets, rugs, or mats, giving such
carpets & the effect of Axminster goods, this is accomplished by printing 6 or 7*
3 fold worsted or woollen yarn for the surface or pile and 6, 7, 8 or 9 ply 16 lb jute
for stuffer with a linen, jute or cotton chain for binder and linen or jute weft.
The worsted or woollen we print on ordinary tapestry printing drums, but two
ends are printed exactly alike, instead of each end being different, and this, com-
bined with weaving the fabric with about three four or five wires to the inch
instead of eight or more as is usual, gives to the appearance of the surface of the
carpets rugs & the same effect as Axminster goods,
The stuffer being composed of thick twisted jute, and the chain or binder being
used double and drawn through the gears so as to work one half every alternate
shot give to the back of the fabric a heavy substantial effect such as is given to
Axminster carpets and ruga.

page_text: Our present intention is to use, in making this improved fabric, 216 dents in the
reed or aley with one end of worsted or woollen in each reed and also 216 ends of
6, 7, 8 or 9 ply 16 1b jute, and a chain consisting of 216 double or treble ends of
jute, the chain by working alternately giving the back a twilled appearance, and
in the case of rugs and mats we intend making the chain a contrasting color to
the stuffer and weft, thus if the stuffer and weft are black the chain will be white
but we reserve to ourselves the right of using more or less ends of worsted or
woollen, stuffer and binder if we deem. advisable.
Our present intention is also to weave the improved fabric on the four shot loom
as described in the former part of this specification but we reserve to ourselves the
right of weaving the carpets & two shot or three shot if necessary.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim as new and intend to be protected is :-
1. The alteration of a two shot carpet power loom to weave 4 shot fabric as
Herein before described by simply arranging the wire motion to miss every alternate
wire without interfering with any other part of the loom.
2. The manufacture of new and improved Tapestry carpets, rugs and mats, with
à heavy, substantial; twilled, back, as herein before described.
