PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
The Manufacture of "Clear Selvages" upon Vell and Millinery Nets
in Warp Lace Machines.
I, SAMUEL GILBERT PACKER, of 24 Regent Street, Nottingham, Clerk, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention has for object. the manufacture of clear decisive selvages in warp
lace machines upon veil and millinery nets.
For the purpose of my invention, on every selvage on every breadth or division
of the fabric in the machine, I make use of a thicker thread, whether of silk,
cotton, or any other material than that employed in the other portion of the fabric,
or 1 may use one or more threads of the same material as the fabric in the latter
case working them together to give the appearance of one thread.
This thread or
these threads are termed "straight downs" and are worked into the fabric by
means of the steel bars usually employed.
The overlapping threads attaching one breadth to the other are cut away by
scissors in the usual way, leaving a more clear and better defined selvage than has
hitherto been obtained in these goods when made in a warp lace machine, or I may
elect to adopt another mode of working, namely, by using in addition a thread, or
threads known as draw threads, this thread, or these threads being afterwards
drawn or cut away in the usual manner.
Dated this 15th day of August 1890.
