other Fabrios, and in the Manufacture of Chenille for the same
I, RICHARD COCHRANE of 25 Stowe Road, Shepherd's Bush, in the County of
Middlesex gentleman do hereby declare this nature of this invention to be as follows
My improvements consist in the production of double-sided and single-sided chenille
or velvet cloth, carpets, curtains, and other fabrics by the methods hereinafter described
To produce a double-sided chenille or velvet cloth, carpet, curtain or other fabric in
an ordinary loom worked by hand or power, each side or face of the fabric having the
The
same pattern, I prepare a set of chenille warps to form the required pattern
chenille fur or warp may be prepared either by the ordinary methods or by an
improved method as follows -Instead of forming the chenille with various colored
threads worked off different shuttles, I weave it in a plain cloth on a hand or power
loom, and print the various colors on the cloth thus piepared for which purpose I
prefer to use a circular drum as in tapestry printing
The improved double-sided fabric is clothed by using one dead warp along with a
while the weft which is concealed in the
binding warp wrought in two healds
fabric is thrown across the warp in the usual manner giving a double binding shot
to the fabric When it is desired that the two sides or faces of the fabric should have
different patterns, I prepare two sets of chenille warps, one set having the required
pattern for one side, and the other set forming the pattern for the other side
To produce on an ordinary loom a single-sided fabric, e a fabric having a chenille
face on one side only, I prepare as aforesaid a set of chenille warps to form the
required pattern, and the fabric is clothed by using a dead warp under the chenille
warps on the pattern side of the fabric, while plain warp threads and underbinding
weft shuttle are used to form the plain side of the fabric
prefer to work the chenille warps off bobbins in the same way as worsted in a
Brussels loom
In producing the chenille for the warps, I use silk, wool, worsted, jute, cotton or
any other suitable fibre either singly or mixed and in such degree of fineness or
thickness as is best suitable for the particular fabric in the preparation of which the
warps are intended to be used

page_text: In producing any improved double-sided fabrics on a Jacquard loom, I use two or
more plain chenille wefts the pattern being formed by warps concealed in the tabric
as in an ordinary Scotch or Kidderminster loom
The chenille is worked from two or more shuttles different chenilles being on
different shuttles The Jacquard acts on the warps causing them to rise or fall
according to the requirements of the design The required shuttle carries its chenille
between the warps in the position in which the Jacquard places them In case of two
plain chenilles of different colors each would be used alternately and would appear
above or below the concealed warps according as these were acted on by the Jacquard
The ley used is a hervy one and drives the two chenille wefts compactly together so
that parts of the one chenille appear on one face of the cloth and parts on the other
face while parts of the other chenille appear in the intervals In this way the same
pattern appears on both faces of the fabric but the chenille which forms the figures on
one face of the fabric forms the ground on the other face
A
The chenille may be of one color or it may be of various colors to produce different
effects, and it may be made of silk, worsted, jute, cotton, or any other suitable fibre
singly or mixed The warps and binding wefts are all concealed in the fabric
velvet surface is thus produced having the same pattern on both sides but with the
colors reversed Thus with one dirk and one light, chenille weft, that part of the
pattern which is dark on one side of the cloth will be light on the other

1, RICHARD COCHRANE of 25 Stowe Road, Shepherds Bush in the County of
Middlesex do declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed, particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
My improvements consist in the production of double-sided and single-sided chenille
or velvet cloth, carpets, curtains and other fabrics by the methods hereinafter described
To produce a double-sided chemille or velvet cloth, carpet or curtain or other fabric
in an ordinary loom worked by hand or power, each side or face of the fabric having
the same pattern, I prepare a set of chenille warps to form the required pattern
The chenille fur or warp may be prepared either by the ordinary methods or by an
improved method as follows -Instead of forming the chenille with various coloured
threads worked off different shuttles, I weave it in a plain cloth on a hand or power
loom and print the various colours on the cloth thus prepared for which purpose I
prefer to use a circul ir drum as in tapestry painting The improved double-sided
fabric is clothed by using one dead warp along with a binding warp wrought in two
healds while the weft which is concealed in the fabric is thrown across the warp in the
usual manner, giving a binding shot to the fabric When it is desired that two sides
or faces of the fabric should have different patterns, I prepare two sets of chenille
warps, one set of warps having the required pattern for one side and the other set
forming the pattern for the other side
To produce on an ordinary loom a single sided fabric, e a fabric having a chenille
face on one side only, I prepare as aforesaid a set of chenille warps to form the
required pattern and the fabric is clothed by using a dead warp under the chenille
warps on the pattern side of the fabric, while plain warp threads and underbinding
weft shuttles are used to form the plain side of the fabric I prefer to work the
chenille warps off bobbins in the same way as worsted in a Brussels loom
In producing the chenille for the warps I use silk, wool, worsted, jute, cotton, or
any other suitable fibre either singly or mixed, and in such degree of fineness or
thickness of texture as is best suitable for the particular fabric in the preparation of
which the warps are intended to be used In producing my improved double-sided
fabrics on a Jacquard loom, I use two or more plain chenille wefts, the pattern being

appear above or below the concealed warps according as these were acted on by the

In this way
the other face while parts of the other chenille appear in the intervals
the same pattern appears on both faces or sides of the fabric but the chenille which
forms the figures on one face of the fabric forms the ground on the other face The
chenille may be all one colour or it may be of various colours to produce different
effects and it may be made of silk, wool, jute cotton or any other suitable fibre used
singly or mixed The warps and binding wefts are all concealed in the fabric
velvet surface is thus produced, having the same pattern on both sides but with the
colours reversed Thus with one dark and one light chenille weft that part of the
pattern which is dark on one side of the cloth will be light on the other
A
Having now particulary described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
(1) The production of double-sided and single-side chenille (or velvet) cloth carpets
curtains and other fabrics by using chenille as a warp or weft in the various improved
manners herein before described
(2) The method of manufacturing chenille by weaving it in a plain cloth and
printing the various colours required on the cloth thus prepared
