Pile Fabrics.
We, JAMES JOWETT, of Little Horton Lane, Hair Merchant, and JAMES CAMPBELL,
of 5, Claremont Terrace, both of Bradford in the County of York Blacksmith do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in frames for packing imitation sealskin and
other pile fabrics, and its object is to enable a more simple form of hook to be used
than hitherto as well as provide a more rigid method of attaching them to the arms of
the frames.
Hitherto when single hooks have been used their shanks have been bent at right
angles and such bent portions passed through holes in the arms, at right angles to the
shanks, and riveted thereto. This method of attachment besides necessitating that the
metal from which the hooks are made be particularly ductile to facilitate riveting, is
not satisfactory as the hooks are liable to get loose and the distance between them
becoming irregular the pile faces of the fabrics upon the frame come in contact thus
rendering the frame useless.
Our invention consists in using hooks with straight shanks and fitting them in holes
drilled into the edges of the arms of the frame in a line with the shanks of the hooks.
To obviate the necessity of drilling right through the arms from edge to edge to fix
the hooks in we fix such books in the said holes by compressing or bulging in the
sides of the holes from each side of the arms so as to tightly clasp the shanks of the
hooks and prevent them being withdrawn. The shanks of the said hooks may be
serrated or have a notch or notches on each side so as to grip the sides of the holes.
A modified method of securing the hooks consists in drilling holes to cut the bottoms
of the holes for the reception of the hooks at right angles and punching down the end
of the hook shanks at right angles into such holes thereby securing them. This latter
arrangement may be used in combination with that before described.
Dated this 18th day of June 1888.

page_text: Pile Fabrics.
We, JAMES JOWETT, of Little Horton Lane, Hair Merchant, and JAMES CAMPBELL,
Blacksmith, of 5, Claremont Terrace, both of Bradford, in the County of York
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:
This invention relates to improvements in frames for packing imitation sealskin and
other pile fabrics, and its object is to enable a more simple form of hook to be used
than hitherto as well as provide a more rigid method of attaching them to the arms of
the frames.
Hitherto when single hooks have been used their shanks have been bent at right
angles and such bent portions passed through holes in the arms at right angles to the
shanks, and riveted thereto. This method of attachment, besides necessitating that
the metal from which the hooks are made be particularly ductile to facilitate riveting,
is not satisfactory as the hooks are liable to get loose and the distance between them
becoming irregular the pile faces of the fabrics upon the frame come in contact thus
rendering the frame useless.
Our invention consists in using hooks with straight shanks and fitting them in holes
drilled into the edges of the arms of the frame in a line with the shanks of the hooks,
and we then fix such hooks in the said holes by compressing or bulging in the sides
of the holes from each side of the arms so as to tightly clasp the shanks of the hooks
and prevent them being withdrawn.
A modified method of securing the said hook consists in drilling holes to cut the
bottom of the holes for the reception of the hook shanks at right angles and punching
down the ends of such shanks approximately at right angles into such holes thereby
securing them.
Our improvements are fully illustrated by the accompanying sheet of drawings,
in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each of the
figures.
Figure 1. is a perspective view of a frame with the hooks attached in accordance
with our invention.
Figure 2, is a side view on a larger scale of one of the arms fitted with books and
broken away from the rest of the frame.
Figure 3, is a transverse section of the same through the line a b in the former
figure.
Figure 4, is a similar view to figure 2 illustrating the modification above referred
to, and figure 5 is a transverse section of the same.
The hooks A are held by their shanks B in holes C drilled in the edge of the
arms D and such shanks are fixed in such holes by hammering or pressing their
opposite sides towards each other as shown at E (figures 2 and 3) thus flattening the
shanks of the hooks at that part and preventing them being withdrawn or turned out
of line with each other.

page_text: In figures 4 and 5, holes F are drilled in the arms to cut the bottom of the holes C
at right angles and the ends G of the shanks B are punched or bent approximately at
right angles so as to engage the holes F thereby securing such hooks.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare what we
claim is:
1. A frame for holding pile fabrics in which the shanks of the hooks are secured in
holes drilled in the edges of the arms by hammering or pressing the sides of said holes
towards each other, substantially as herein shown and described and illustrated in the
accompanying drawings.
2. A frame for holding pile fabrics in which the shanks of the hooks are secured in
holes formed in the edges of the arms by bending the ends of said shanks approxi-
mately at right angles so as to engage holes cutting the former holes at right angles,
substantially as herein shown and described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
