We HENDERSON & Co Limited of the City of Durham in the County of
Durham Carpet Manufacturers and EDWIN BUCKLEY of John Street in the same
City Loom Tuner do hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN LOOMS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF TUFTED CARPETS AND OTHER TUFTED PILE
FABRICS, to be as follows:-
These improvements have reference to that description of looms for weaving
carpets known as tufted or tufted pile carpets or Axminster tufted carpets and
such like tufted pile fabrics and for improvements in which Letters Patent were
granted to Samuel Holdsworth on 11th July 1872 No 2095 and the 21st July 1875.
N° 2595.
The present invention has more particular reference to the means for supplying
threads or yarn to the needles in the needle frame employed forming the rows of
tufts across the fabrics in the manufacture of such carpets and fabrics.
In the specification of Patent N° 2095 of 1872 aforementioned particularly at
page 9 line 16 of the printed copy thereof published by the Patent Office Edition
1873 and by Figures 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the drawings thereto bobbins are
described and shewn for the supply of the yarns of the desired colors but according
to the present invention the yarns are held by and supplied from small cops or
spools inserted in small apertures of suitable shape or from cops or spools held by
pins or spindles attached and provided at or in the lower wooden or other portion
of the frame and are arranged in relation to each other and to the respective
needles or instruments to be supplied so as most conveniently to preserve directness
of delivery..

We HENDERSON & Co Limited of the City of Durham in the County of
Durham Carpet Manufacturers and EDWIN BUCKLEY of John Street in the same
City Loom Tuner 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 :—
These improvements have reference to that. description of looms for weaving.
carpets known as tufted or tufted pile carpets or Axminster_tufted carpets and
such like tufted pile fabrics and for improvements in which Letters Patent were
granted to Samuel Holdsworth on 11th July 1872 N° 2095 and the 21st July
1875 N° 2595.
The present invention has more particular reference to the means for supplying.
threads or yarn to the needles in the needle frame employed for forming the rows
of tufts across the fabrics in the manufacture of such carpets and fabrics.
In the specification of Patent N° 2095 of 1872 aforementioned particularly at
page 9 line 16 of the printed copy thereof published by the Patent Office Edition"
1873 and by Figures 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the drawings thereto bobbins are
described and shewn for the supply of the yarns of the desired colors but according
to the present invention the yarns are held by and supplied from small cops or
spools inserted in small apertures of suitable shape provided at or in the lower
wooden or other portion of the frame and are arranged in relation to each other
and to the respective needles or instruments to be supplied so as most conveniently
to preserve directness of delivery.
These improved means of supplying thread or yarn to the needles employed in
forming the tufts of tufted pile fabrics enable us to effect the working of such
tufts from separate threads carried each independently of the others in separate
independent carriers and so that each thread in its carrier can be attached.or
detached without interfering with the rest and fresh supplies or other colors
substituted.
In the accompanying drawing a portion of a frame h is shewn with a number
of cops or spools h¹ which in this case are shewn inserted in small apertures of
corresponding shape and size h³, from which cops or spools h¹ the threads or yarn
indicated by the dotted lines are supplied to the needles ho..
i. i are bars running across from side to side of the series of cops or spools
and serving to hold them in place during working these bars having springs j and
a cross piece k to retain them.
The variations in character of dotted lines indicating the threads or yarns also
indicate variations of colour thereto and their relative arrangement as an instance
but of course this will vary with variation of pattern.
Or in place of the previous arrangement the yarns may be supplied from cops or
spools held by pins or spindles attached and provided at or in the lower wooden
or other portion of the frame and suitably arranged as in the first mentioned
modification as to the relative spools and needles supplied thereby.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is :-
The improved means of supplying threads or yarns to the needles employed in
forming the tufts of tufted pile fabrics from separate independent thread carriers
substantially as set forth herein and shewn by the drawings.
Dated this 6th day of July 1886.
