A New or Improved Weave in the Manufacture of Rugs, Door Mats,
and other Fabrics having a Pile Surface.
I, GEORGE BRITTON, of Jermyn House, Heckmondwike, in the County of
York, Rug and Mat Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows;-
The object of my invention is to save the face warp in the manufacture of rugs
and mats having a pile surface.
In weaving a pile warp rug or mat according to my invention, I use a thick
woollen weft, in addition to a warp, for the back of the rug or mat, but instead
of the yarn which forms the pile on the face of the fabric, being secured or bound
by passing under the woollen weft at the back, as is usual, I fasten or secure the
pile warp on the face of the back weft, by means of one or more jute or cotton
binding weft threads, which passes over the face warp and under the back warp.
By this manner of weaving, the face warp does not pass through the body of the
rug, nor at the back of the ground weft, therefore there is a considerable saving
of the face warp as the length of warp which was used in passing through the
back and around the thick woollen weft is saved, consequently the rugs or mats
can be produced at a less cost.
The warp which forms the pile on the face of the rug may be a straight thread
or two or more twisted threads, or it may be crimped or curled, but in any case
the face of the rug is full and very durable.
Two warp threads are employed in the weave above mentioned, one warp form-
ing the pile and one warp at the back with the thick woollen weft.
While I prefer a worsted pile warp at the front and a thick woollen weft at the
back, and a jute or cotton binding weft thread, I do not limit myself to these
materials, as they may be composed of other fibres, as thought desirable for the
purpose and of any suitable color.

I, GEORGE BRITTON, of Jermyn House, Heckmondwike, in the County of
Yorkshire, Carpet Manufacturer and Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of
Price S11

page_text: this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention consists of a new or improved weave in the manufacture of
rugs, door mats, and other fabrics having a pile surface wherein the pile is
woven direct on the face of the backing wefts and there fastened by means of
one or more binding picks worked in conjunction with backing picks as shown
by drawings herewith submitted and which shows the relative positions of the
various materials in the four separate motions forming one pick or pile where A
is the pile material.
B are the backing warps.
C is the binding pick or picks.
D is the backing weft.
Sheet 1 contains 4 diagrams showing the positions of the warps and pile
material as placed by the heald arrangement of the loom in preparation for the
insertion of the binding pick or picks and the backing weft whilst Sheet 2 shows
a loose section and plan of the weave the pile being laid back in the plan to more
clearly illustrate the interlacing of the pile material, the backing warps the bind-
ing pick or picks and the backing weft the advantage of this arrangement being
a great saving of yarn by reason of the pile material being laid over the backing
weft and fastened by the binding picks instead of being taken under and fastened
by the backing weft.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
(1) The weaving of the pile direct on the face of the backing weft.
(2) The fastening of the pile by means of binding picks.
(3) The general arrangement of pile, warps, picks, and weft herein described.
