PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Plush Fabrics.
We, HERMANN MÜLLERS and ARTHUR SPINDLER, both of Dülken, in the Empire
of Germany, Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
Our invention relates to the manufacture of plush fabrice.
Plush fabrics of mohair or weft yarn have heretofore been made with double
plush looms both in three weft and one weft pile thread bindings. The last mentioned
binding presents a beautiful appearance, but in most cases it does not fulfil the
requirements as regards the strength of the fabric, whilst the first mentioned
binding gives a very strong fabric, the appearance of which however, leaves much to
be desired.
Our invention is designed to combine the advantages of the aforesaid two systems
of weaving without the disadvantages of the same, for which purpose we use
two-weft pile thread binding.
The subject of our invention is represonted in the accompanying drawings, in
which
Figure 1 shows a section of the new fabric through the first reed bar.
Figure 2 shows a section of the same through the second reed bar, and
Figure 3 illustrates a view of the pile.
ab designate the ground warp threads, cd the binding warp threads, and ef the
pile warp threads. The weft threads are designated by the numbers 1, 2, 3 and so on,
which indicate the order in which they are inserted into the fabric. For obtaining
the before mentioned effect the pile threads are caused to bind, not over one or three
weft threads, but over two weft threads. The ground warp threads ab bind all the
weft threads in the three-weft style of weaving, whilst the binding warp threads ed
biud only the pile wefts in order that the pilo may be held in the ground fabric, and
that the pile burls may be raised. At the points where the pile burls pass from the
ground fabric there are no ground thread crossings, therefore the weft threads are
placed very close together and hold the pile burls, so that the fabric becomes very
durable. Morcover with this method the fabric obtains a very beautiful and smooth
appearance and presents a smooth back.

Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Plush Fabrics.
We, HERMANN MÜLLERS and ARTHUR SPINDLER, both of Dülken, in the Empire
of Germany, Manufacturers, do hereby declare tho 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:-
Our invention relates to the manufacture of plush fabrics.
Plush fabrics of mohair or weft yarn have heretofore been mado with double plush

binding presents a beautiful appearance, but in most cases it does not fulfil the
requirements as regards the strength of the fabric, whilst the first mentioned binding

Our invention is designed to combine the advantages of the aforesaid two systems
of weaving without the disadvantages of either, for which purpose we use a two-
weft pile thread binding.
The subject of our invention is represented in the drawings accompanying the
Provisional Specification in which―
Figure 1 shows a section of the new fabric through the first reed bar.
Figure 2 shows a section of the same through the second reed bar, and
Figure 3 illustrates a view of the pile.
In the drawings ab designate the ground warp threads, cd the binding warp
threads, and ef the pile warp threads. The weft threads are designatod by the
numbers 1, 2, 3 and so on, which indicate the order in which they are inserted into
the fabric. For obtaining the before mentioned effect the pile threads are caused to
bind, not over one or three weft threads, but over two weft threads. The ground
warp threads ab bind all the weft threads in the three-weft style of weaving
whilst the binding warp threads od bind only the pile wefts in order that the pile
may be held in the ground fabric, and that the pile burls may be raised. At the
points where the pile burls pass from the ground fabric there are no ground
thread crossings, therefore the weft threads are placed very close together and hold
the pile burls, so that the fabric becomes very durable. Moreover with this method
the fabrio obtains a very beautiful and smooth appearance and presents a smooth
back.
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 that what we
Colaim is
1. Method of manufacture of plush fabrics of mohair or weft yarns, characterized
by the fact that the pile warp threads lie over two weft threads, and interweave with
the ground warp threads so as to bind in three weft binding, and binding warp threads
are employed for the purpose of fastening the pile, which binding warp threads bind
only the pile wefts in two-weft binding substantially as described.
2. The manufacture of plush fabrics of mohair and weft-yarns substantially as and
for the purpose hereinbefore described.
