NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, we, the said
John Dearman Dunnicliff and John Woodhouse Bagley, do hereby declare
that the nature of our 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, reference being had to the Drawings hereunto annexed,
and to the figures and letters marked thereon (that is to say) :-
Our Invention consists,―
First, of improvements in the manufacture of weavings made in warp
frames or machines by employing certain descriptions of fine silk, as hereafter
explained.
Secondly, our Invention consists of improvements in the manufacture of
fabrics in warp frames by gymping threads into the body of the fabric
described under the first part of our Invention, so as to render the same more
brilliant, and restrain the elasticity.
Thirdly, our Invention consists of certain improvements in the manufacture
of lace and other weavings when employing two threads to each needle of
warp frames or machines.
Fourthly, our Invention consists of improvements in the manufacture of
cut-pile fabrics in warp frames or machines by employing two colors for each
needle for making the pile, and also making the back or ground of silk velvet
fabrics made in warp frames of cotton.
Fifthly, our Invention consists of improvements in the manufacture of
double lace and other weavings in twist-lace machines. And,
Sixthly, our Invention consists of improvements in the manufacture of
close weavings in lace, and of twisted purle edges of lace, and other weavings
in twist-lace machines.
And, in order that our Invention may be most fully understood and readily
carried into effect, we will proceed to describe the means pursued by us.
The first part of our Invention has for its object the manufacture of fine
silk fabrics in warp frames or machines, by employing silk warp made of
certain classes of silk not hitherto used when making plain weavings in warp
frames; and this part of our Invention consists of employing fine classes of
silk, such as are known in the trade as fine Italian and fine French silks; when
making plain weavings in warp frames or machines, by using what is called
in the trade "the simplicity lap," the object being to make a new class of fine
silk fabric in warp frames or machines by combining the use of the fine

page_text: And we
classes of silk mentioned with the peculiar lap above referred to.
would state, that we make no claim to the use of such silks generally, nor to
the making the particular lap when separately considered, because they are
separately well known and used under other circumstances. In making fabrics
by what is called the simplicity lap in warp frames or machines only one warp
bar is required, except when lace is desired to be made as ornament to the
other, or close weaving. And in the Drawing A we have shown a suitable
cut of wheel for working the single guide bar, which has as many guides as
there are needles, such wheel giving the requisite motions to the guide bar to
produce the lap mentioned. In working each guide is to be threaded with
one or more threads of fine silk of the character mentioned, and we prefer to
use each thread of silk of such degree of fineness that it shall not exceed
eight or nine deniers, and that is, eight or nine deniers to the five hundred
yards; and when it is desired to make a thicker fabric than will be produced
by having one thread to a needle, then we use two or more such threads to a
guide, and work them as a single thread, in preference to having the same
amount of silk from cocoons made into a single thread as large as when two
or more are used. It is well known that the description of silk mentioned
enables the manufacturer to obtain very fine and even threads, far finer and
much more even than can be obtained when using China, Bengal, or such
like coarse silks; and it is for this reason we confine this part of our Invention
to the use of the quality of silk mentioned in combination with the lap
mentioned, as silk fabrics made in like manner, that is, with the same lap with
threads of China or such like quality of silk, would be of a very coarse and
unequal character as compared with the new fabrics produced by this part of
our Invention. When these fabrics are to be ornamented by the introduction
of net into such fabric, or are to be produced in the breadths having their
edges of net, then, in place of using only one guide bar, we divide the warp
into two half sets, and employ two guide bars, giving to the two like move-
ments to that shown, but the cut of wheels in Drawing A when making the
simplicity lap, and use other motions, which are well understood, for producing
the proper rackings for making the lace parts of the fabrics.
We will now describe the second part of our Invention, which consists of
making silk warp fabrics where two warp threads are used to each needle,
the peculiar character of this part of the Invention consisting of so working
warp machines or fames that one of each such two threads shall be employed
in making what may be called the ground or body of the fabric by lapping -
and looping, and the other of such two threads being used as a gymping or
inlaid thread within the fabric, made by looping the other threads into each

page_text: other. In making these fabrics we prefer to use the "simplicity lap" for
the ground or body, and when making plain weavings or fabrics the two
threads to each needlo are passed through guides on separate guide bars, each
carrying as many guides as there are needles, and one of these bars is to be
actuated by means of a wheel such as is shown in Drawing A, and the other
bar (which will be placed above the bar actuated by the wheel A) will be
worked by means of another wheel, such as is shown by Drawing B, such
wheel B being for the purpose of inlaying the second thread into the looped
fabric produced by the other threads to each needle. And we employ like
qualities of fine silk to those above mentioned as being used for carrying out
the first part of our Invention; by this means we are enabled to produce new
and very beautiful and brilliant silk fabrics. If it is desired to ornament
fabrics of this description with lace, then, in place of using only two bars, we
use four bars, each carrying half as many guides as needles, so that when
making the lace they may receive suitable rackings for making the lace.
would remark, that by the first and second parts of our Invention we produce
fine thin silk fabrics in warp frames or machines similar in character to
gauzes, arophanes, and also linos or linaus, and such like light silk fabrics
woven with warp and shuttle, and these fabrics are suitable for like uses (as
well also to others) as the warp and shuttle weavings above mentioned, and
when they are made in narrow breadths or otherwise, and are desired to be
used as ornamental edgings or otherwise, then india-rubber threads.may be
woven in, and when elasticated the fabric will run up, and appear as if
drawn up.
We
We will now describe the third part of our Invention, which consists of
applying bobbins in combination with independent guides when working with
two threads to each needle in warp frames or machines, whereby we are
enabled to manufacture warp fabrics of a very ornamental character by reason
of the warp threads carried by independent guides being capable of working
their threads either to produce the plain or the ornamental parts of the
weavings, the combining bobbings with the use of independent guides allowing
of varying quantities of the warp threads of the several independent guides to
be used up and worked into the fabric at different quantities to the others
of the independent guides, which is important when only working with two
warp threads to each needle. In making warp fabrics according to this part
of our Invention, the whole of the guides used may be independent, or an
ordinary guide bar carrying as many guides as there are needles may be used
with a quantity of independent guides, also equal to the number of needles, in
which case the independent guides will require to be used or applied under

page_text: fabrics with ornamental weavings "produced by the under row of threads;
secondly, plain grounds of fabrics with cut pile and satin ornaments produced
from the under row of threads; and, thirdly, grounds of fabrics consisting
wholly or partially of net or lace, having like ornamental portions produced
by the under row of warp threads. The independent guides are shown to be
operated on by Jacquard cards, as is well understood, or other pattern surfaces
might be employed, using suitable independent guides therewith. The Jacquard
cards can select or leave any of the guides; hence, when not selected, there
will be but two rows of warp threads, an upper and a lower one, but when any
are selected there will be three rows of guides, a top row, a middle row, and
a bottom row, the middle row at all times having as many threads as there
are needles, whilst in some cases there will be in the top and bottom rows only
half as many threads as there are needles, and in others when all the guides
are selected or driven down, then the middle and lower rows will be full, and,
of course, when none are selected, then the top and middle rows will be full.
Having premised the subject with these remarks, we will call attention to
the three cuts of wheels by which the three descriptions of fabrics above
mentioned are produced. The names of the several parts of the machinery
being written on the Drawing, and as the working is well understood, it will
not be necessary to enter into any description thereof here beyond calling atten-
tion to the manner in which the Jacquard barrel is worked, which is to be.
brought into action at the time of pressing, so as to select for the next lapping,
and when the selection has been made the locker bar a is to be brought into
motion to retain the independent guides during the lapping therewith. The
independant instruments being thus secured, the Jacquard barrel descends,
and when the lapping has been accomplished, the locker .bar a is to release
the independant guides, and they are to be allowed to fall into their original
position, that is, presenting two rows of threads, an upper and a lower one.
The Drawing, as before stated, shews the machine with all independant
guides. The lower row of threads are supplied from independant bobbins,
and therefore suitable for producing all the three classes of fabrics above
mentioned; but supposing that only the first two classes of fabrics were
desired to be produced, then the upper row of guides might be all on one bar,
and be supplied by threads from the same beam, provided such bar had
rackings communicated to it corresponding to those given by the cut of wheel
A, so that the threads carried by such single bar would have the like rackings
when in like positions for producing the ground. Supposing the wheel D to
be in the machine, then the course of working would be as follows, one
card would be used for two courses.
The Drawing C shows the parts in the positions they would assume after

page_text: the selection has taken place by the Jacquard barrel, and "the machine" has
gone in, and the guides under the needles to commence the lappings. (But
note, the hook cutters 6, shown in the Drawing, would not be used excepting
when making fabrics with cut pile, and therefore for making this present
class of fabrics they would be removed.) The selection has divided the
guides into three rows, the first and second rows will pass up through the
needles and move two needles to the left, the third row of threads will then
pass up, and the threads will be moved one needle to the left; the third row
will pass back through the needles and move two needles to the right hand;
the first and second rows pass through and move one needle to the right hand,
which completes the first course of lapping. The locker bar a is withdrawn,
and the machine moves out, the presser at the same time presses upon the
needles, the Jacquard barrel is again moved up, bringing up the same card as
was used for working the previous course, and makes the same selection of
guides as before, barrel is lowered, the machine goes in and commences its
upward movement, and all three rows of guides pass through the needles; they
then move one needle to the right hand, and then all come down through the
needles and move one needle to the left hand, which completes two courses,
and the repetition of these two courses will produce fabrics with plain
grounds having satin figures or ornaments produced according to the Jacquard
pattern cards employed. The two threads used with each independant guide
may be of the same color, or they may be of different colors; if of different
colors the ornamental satin pattern will be of one color, and the ground will
bo composed of a mixture of the two colors. To produce the second-mentioned
fabric, that is, a plain ground and satin and cut-pile ornament, the hooked
cutters & will be employed. These cutter hooks are carried by the bar b², which
is suspended by means of checks b³ from arms b', which turn loosely upon the
spindle bar c, to which the sinker bar arms are fixed. The arms are con-
nected together by means of the bar , an arm affixed to which receives the
requisite motion from a cam upon the main shaft. The wheel E will now
be used, and the working of two courses will be as follows, there being a
card for each course of working. The selection having taken place, and the
hook cutters having taken the third row of threads, the barrel is lowered, "the
machine" goes in, the hooks move up underneath the stems of the needles, and
the three rows of threads pass through the needles and move one needle to
the right hand, they then all pass down through the needles and move one
needle to the left hand, the locker bar is withdrawn, the machine moves out,
the presser presses upon the needles, the sinkers bring forward the work, at
the same time the hooks come forward in the front of the sinkers to the heads

page_text: of the needles, the hooks still retaining their loops; this completes the first
course. A fresh card being brought up, and the locker bar being inserted,
the barrel is lowered, and the machine commences its inward movement, the
sinkers at the same time taking back the work over the arch, the hooks being
in the throats of the sinkers; the machine will now have moved in; the first
and second rows of threads will pass up through the needles and move two
needles to the left hand, the third row will pass up through the needles and
move one needle to the left hand, the third row of threads will descend
between the needles and move two needles to the right hand, and the second
and first rows will descend through the needles and move one needle to
right hand; the locker bar will be removed, "the machine" will move out, the
work will be brought forward by the sinkers and knocked over, the cutter
books, being in front of the sinkers, will move vertically, and by their cutting
edges ¹ will cut the loops thereon; a fresh card having been brought up, the
hooks again descend and take the third or bottom tier of threads; the hook
cutter bar having a lateral movement is shogged when the points of the hooks
are above the thread, and the points of the hook cutter being slightly inclined
they more readily take the threads; "the machine commences its inward
movement, and thus are two courses worked. When it is desired to make the
third-mentioned fabric, namely, lace ground with ornamental portion, as above
explained, the wheel F, and the working of "the machine" and the other
parts, will be as described in respect to the second-mentioned fabric. Note,
it will be found to facilitate the passage of the threads under the hooks if
their points are slightly inclined sideways.
"
We will now describe the fourth part of our Invention, which relates to
the making of cut-pile velvets in warp frames or machines. Heretofore in
making such fabrics the pile has at all times been made of one color, and the
back or ground has been made of silk as well as the pile. Now according to
these improvements when two guide bars are used for making the pile the
guides of one may be threaded with one color and the other with another
color, silk or two different colored threads may be thrown together or separate
and carried by the same guide, and when only one guide bar is used then it is
threaded with two threads of different color or one thread composed by
throwing or twisting two different colored threads together, and for the ground
of these or other cut-pile velvet fabrics made in warp frames we use cotton
for the back or ground when the pile is of silk.
We will now describe the fifth part of our Invention, which consists of making
embosed work or double fabrics in twist-lace machines, and for this purpose
we prefer to use a double-tier circular machine, but do not confine ourselves

thereto. Drawing G shows a section of so much of a machine of this description
as will enable us, together with the cuts of wheels, to describe this part of our
Invention. The carriages are caused to take their ordinary motions, as are
well understood in making straight down laces when the comb bar does not
There is one warp, thread to each carriage, and, in addition thereto,
there is an additional thread, which we call the tie thread, to each two carriages,
and these threads are carried by three guide bars which are actuated by the
three wheels shown in these Drawings. Thus No. 1 wheel works the front
guide bar, No. 2 wheel works the middle or tic-thread guide bar, and No. 3
wheel works the back guide bar. Supposing that this machine be worked
without any interference with the several warp threads, the fabric produced
would be two muslin-like weavings combined together by the tic threads, and if
the tie threads were left out the machine would produce two separate pieces of
muslin-like weavings. We would remark, that we are aware that two separate and
single fabrics of muslin-like weavings, and also two separate pieces of lace, have
before been made in the same machine; we do not therefore claim the same;
this part of our Invention having for its object the so weaving two fabrics in
twist-lace machines that they, in the act of making, may be combined into one
fabric, either throughout the whole surface, or at intervals, as the particular
case may require. Thus, supposing we wish to produce a lace fabric on one
side, and a muslin-like weaving on the other side, then, in place of letting the
rackings take place uninterrupted, we cause the rackings of some of the
threads to be interfered with, by which, in place of the fabric opposite those
places being a close muslin-like fabric, it will be produced in the form of lace;
thus, supposing any of the warp threads in the front row to be interrupted in
their racking at No. 2 racking of No. 1 wheel, a hole will be produced each
time, and if such interruption be repeated several times in succession the holes
will be made proportionably long in that front fabric; and if we interrupt the
rackings of any of the back warp threads at the racking No. 4 on No. 8
wheel, a like effect will take place in regard to the back fabric, and therefore,
according as the pattern surfaces used are made to interrupt the rackings of the
threads, so will be the nature and pattern of the conjoined double fablic. The
intercepting instruments c, c, arc similar to those before used in lace machines,
and the nature thereof is clearly shewn in the Drawing. They will each be in
connection by cords attached at d with the Jacquard or other pattern surface,
and when selected they will be locked in position by the bar e; all which will be
readily understood by persons acquainted with such descriptions of machinery.
And we would remark, that, although we prefer to use intercepting instru❤
ments, the same effect may be obtained by using numerous guide bars

page_text: according to the extent of the pattern to be produced; and as the threads
will be worked up at different speeds the warp threads are to be placed on
separate bobbins. The Drawing shows an arrangement suitable for carrying
numerous guide bars to be used for taping, gymping, and other threads for orna-
menting purposes, and the same will be used or not according to the nature of
the result desired to be obtained, all which is well understood. And it will
readily be seen that this being a double-tier machine, making two half guage
pieces, it may readily be caused to work so as to produce a full guage lace at
any part, and as groundwork or ornament.
We will now describe the sixth part of our Invention, which has for its
object the manufacture in twist-lace machines of similar lace to that which
is known as "Valanciens" and other cushion lace; and we would remark, that
we are aware that various means of arranging and working twist-lace machines
have before been proposed and resorted to for like purposes, but according to
our improvements we are, by peculiar means of causing warp threads and
bobbin threads to be used conjointly as weft threads, enabled to produce true
tabby weavings; and we are also capable of producing purle-edgings composed
of twisted warp and bobbin threads. In describing this part of our Invention
we believe the most simple form is to suppose, in the first place, that we are
about to make narrow breadths in a twist-lace machine, having simply as many
warp threads as there are bobbin threads, with suitable lacing threads to lace
the several breadths together, all which is well understood; and as those warp
threads which are to work as weft and purling threads will be worked up faster
than the other warp threads which are to simply run longitudinally in the fabric,
and at different speeds one from the other, such warp-weft threads should be
on separate bobbins, and each of the other warp threads used for making the
breadths are to be carried by a separate guide bar and come from separate
beams, and whatever warp threads are selected for acting as warp-weft threads
(which is the name we employ for distinguishing them from the other warp
threads which are to act simply as warp threads in the particular pattern for
the time being to be woven in the twist-lace machine) they are to have the
power of being moved by their cut of wheels or pattern surfaces a distance
equal to the width of the patterns or part of the pattern; they, together with
their carriage threads, are conjointly to act as weft threads. And it is to be
understood that although all the carriages may swing through and through
the warp
threads when the warp-weft threads and their bobbin threads are
working together to produce weaving and twists preparatory thereto, and
for the making of purle, the other warp threads are to be so racked as
to avoid twisting with their bobbin threads.

page_text: Having premised this much, the description of the further working out of the
Invention will become simple to the mind and readily carried out, and machinery
and pattern surfaces arranged without difficulty by a workman, provided he
follow carefully the instructions here given.
We will now suppose that a machine has been arranged according to the
statement above given, and that it has been at work, and that a warp-weft
thread and its bobbin thread are next to work for the production of the
weavings, by becoming for the time being conjointly weft threads to be laid in
between the other warp threads; thus, supposing, the width of the weaving
to be produced be equal to seven warp threads, that is, three front and three
back warp threads, in addition to the one chosen, then the first operation which
the warp-weft thread would have to perform with its carriage thread would be
to twist together; then the warp-weft thread would be shogged between the
six (three front and three back) other warp threads, and then the other six
warp threads are to be so shogged as that the carriage thread ordinarily work-
ing with the warp-weft thread shall in succession pass under and over them
alternately, and so as to become as it were a second shoot of weft thread, the
warp-weft thread acting as the first shoot; and the said carriage thread having
thus acted as a weft thread with the six neighbouring warp threads, is again to
twist with its warp-weft thread. Then the warp-weft thread is to be moved
back into its original position, and will thus, by passing back through between
the other six warp threads, again act, and be in fact a third shoot of weft
between the same neighbouring warp threads; and then those six warp threads
are to be racked so as again in succession to cause the carriage thread of the
said warp-weft thread to pass again under and over the said warp threads
alternately, and thus become as it were a fourth shoot of weft in amongst
the six warp threads. A workman, having attended carefully to the above,
will now readily follow the description of working when making purle by the
twisting of a warp and carriage thread, because a warp-weft thread, when used
for this purpose, twists first with its carriage thread, and then they will weave
as weft threads, with such a number of warps threads as may be desired to
make the purle edge, as above explained, and then the said carriage thread
and its warp-weft thread will again twist to form the loop which is to be taken
and held out by a lacing thread. Then the warp-weft thread will again act
as a weft thread by passing back to its own position, and be followed by its
carriage thread, as explained above, and thus may purle edgings be made
very like those made on the cushion by hand; but it is not necessary that the
twisted loops at the edges should be held by weavings; it will in some cases be
suflicient, where parties desire it, that the twisted loops should only be held at

page_text: the edge by the twisting together of a warp and carriage thread, in which case
the warp-weft thread, having twisted with its carriage thread, the outermost
warp thread and carriage thread are to twist together, and thus close on the
twist made by the warp-weft thread and its carriage thread; and the warp-
weft thread and its carriage are to be caused to twist together, and the loop is
to be taken and held by the lacing thread. Then the warp-weft thread is to
move back, and the outermost warp thread and its carriage thread are to be
caused to twist, by which the loop of purling will be secured.
case;
The above shows this part of our Invention in its most simple form, and we
will now proceed to explain how we work when we employ additional warp
threads to what are the complement for the carriages used in the particular
and it is by employing additional warp threads that we are, as is the
case with laces made on the pillow, enabled to make very close weavings
when working according to this part of our Invention. We will now, then,
suppose that opposite any place there are a number of extra warp threads,
(and the number will vary in different cases, depending on the closeness of
weaving desired to be obtained,) say, three, or four, or five, or more, one
before another in front, and as many one behind the other at the back of a
warp-weft thread, each coming from a separate bobbin, and actuated by its
own guide bar; then it will become evident that the warp thread which is
selected as the warp-weft thread to work with its carriage thread conjointly as
weft threads may work, as above explained (in respect to the other warp
threads), only with the additional warp threads so introduced into that position,
or they may work with the additional ones, and with more or less of the ordi-
nary warp threads; and such extra threads may from time to time, having
worked with one carriage thread and its warp thread as weft threads, may be
moved wholly or partly to another locality or localities, and work with other
carriage threads and their warp threads, and thus may very varied weavings
be produced; and where the extra warp threads are to be used only at inter-
vals, and in regular succession with intervals of lace, composed of the simple
compliment of threads between each weaving, then such extra threads will be
cut away between weaving and weaving, as on the pillowe.
We have not in the above description thought it necessary to speak of
gymping and other ordinary extra threads, but they may be used when desired.
Having thus described the nature of our Invention, and the manner in
which the same is to be performed, we would have it understood that we do
not confine ourselves to the details as herein given, as the same may be varied,
so long as the peculiar character of any part of our Invention be retained.
