PROVISIONAL DI MUIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Reversible Ingrain or
Pro-Brussels Carpets.
1 ALFRED FISHER of Spring Bank, Liversedge, in the county of York, Designer, do
hereby declare the nature of this Invention, to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to produce patterns on both sides of the carpet in a
cheap and effective manner, with the same ply of carpet I produce more numbers of
colours than heretofore produced.
I employ ingrain cotton or woollen warp operated by the harness. When making
a two ply carpet, the ingrain is of two different colours, and is crossed and thrown on
the opposite outsides of the fabric to form the required design, then again crossed and
thrown on the opposite outsides of the fabric, thus producing one more colour than has
hitherto been produced, two being produced by the ingrain, and two by the weft, and
so on according to the number of plys woven.
If a three ply carpet, five colours can be produced on both sides.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Reversible Ingrain or
Pro-Brussels Carpets.
I ALFRED FISHER of Spring Bank, Liversedge in the County of York, Designer, 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:
The object of my invention is to produce patterns on both sides of the carpet in a
cheap and effective manner; with the same ply of carpet I produce one or more
number of colours than has heretofore been produced.
I employ ingrain cotton or woollen warp operated by the harness as ordinary; also
the binding warp is operated by gear or harness as ordinary..
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1, shows section of two ply carpet, that is two shuttles are employed.
Fig. 2, shows section of three ply carpet, three shuttles are employed.
A and A¹ are the two ingrain warps of different colours, C are the weft threads,
D and E are the binding warp threads employed for binding the weft together;
F represents the reed of loom, the ingrain A it will be seen, crosses the ingrain A,
and is thrown out on the underside of the piece, and again crossed and thrown out on
the top side of the piece, whilst A' is crossed, and is thrown upon the top side of the
piece, and then crossed and thrown out upon the underside, and vice versa as required
so producing a distinct pattern on both sides of the carpet.
In a two ply carpet two distinct colours are produced by the ingrain warp, and two
by the weft and in a three ply carpet two colours by the ingrain warp and three by

page_text: the weft, and so on, one more colour being produced than has been hitherto, whatever
the ply of the carpet.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I am aware of the Specifi-
cation of Letters Patent No. 135789 granted to Samuel Wood and George Henry
Heppleston dated the 25th January 1889 and I wish it to be understood that I
do not claim anything described. and claimed therein, but I declare that what I
claim is
In the manufacture of reversible ingrain or pro Brussels carpets the employment of
two different coloured ingrain warps which are first thrown out on the top side, and
then on the underside of the carpet, so producing one more colour in whatever ply of
carpet, than heretofore, substantially as shown and described.
