PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Woven Hose Piping.
I FRANK REDDAWAY of the Firm of F. Reddaway and Company Limited, of
Cheltenham Street, Pendleton, in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturers of
Machine Belting and Hose, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
,
My said invention relates to improvements in woven hose piping such for
example as garden hose. At present such hose is usually woven from grey yarns,
or from yarns of one colour so that the hose does not appeal to the eye, which is an
objection, especially in the case of garden and other hose, bought by the general
public and frequently chosen on the ground of appearance.
To confer distinction upon such woven hose and to make it more attractive in
appearance, I weave the same with an admixture of coloured yarns so as to give
decorative variety, the said coloured yarn being preferably woven in so as to
constitute ornamental designs in colour upon the surface of.the hose.
In weaving such coloured designs into hose I adopt the ordinary mechanism at
present used to produce woven patterns upon cloth or analogous mechanism, to the
looms in which the hose is woven, whether circular or flat. The coloured yarns
might exist either in the warp or in the weft or in both and by well known weavers'
devices I can produce a great variety of patterns.
.
As a result of carrying my invention into effect I am enabled to produce garden
and other hose which will be attractive in appearance and unlike all the hose of a
similar nature at present in the market.
