Improvements in the Manufacture of Carpets and Rugs.
We JOHN BRINTON AND COMPANY, Limited, of Kidderminster, in the County of
Worcester, Carpet Manufacturers, and JOHN HENRY PEARSE, of Kidderminster
aforesaid, Director of the said John Brinton and Company, Limited do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Hitherto Brussels, Wilton and other carpets and rugs have been manufactured
from dyed worsteds or worsteds spun from dyed wools. These carpets and rugs,
more particularly some colors used in the same, do not in all cases permanently retain
their shade and certain colors are by some makers produced by aniline and other
dyes against which many people have a strong objection.
Now according to our invention instead of using dyed worsteds or worsteds spun
from dyed wools we employ undyed worsteds, that is to say, worsteds spun from
wools retaining their natural colors, such as fawn, brown, black and others. These
we select and blend to produce patterns and designs in the ordinary loom arranging
the various natural colored wools in the frames precisely as is done with dyed
worsteds. One or more colored wools will be used in a single worsted as may be
required according to the effect to be produced.
