PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Seouring or Connecting Jacquard Cards
employed in Weaving.
I, ROBERT THOMAS GILLIBRAND of Hollins Grove, Darwen in the County
of Lancaster, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved method of securing or connecting jacquard
cards employed in weaving, and is designed to dispense with the old or present
system of lacing or tieing the same together and the inconveniences and expense
arising therefrom. In carrying out my invention the jacquard cards are mounted
upon tape, leather, textile or other materials, which may be on one or both sides,
and secure the same together by metallic staples. If desired the jacquard cards
may be further secured to the connecting tapes or their equivalents by means of
glue, gum, or other gelatine or glutinous substance before the insertion of the staples
to give or produce increased security and firmness.

Figs. 5 and 6, or otherwise as desired, the number of connecting strips being
immaterial. The strips I whether composed of tape, leather, textile or other
materials may be secured to each card H by one or more metallic staples Jas
shown. If desired the jacquard cards H may be further secured to the connecting
strips I consisting of tape, leather, textile or other materials by means of glue,
gum, or other gelatine or glutinous substance before the insertion of the metallic
staples J to give or produce increased security and firmness. The jacquard
cards H may be provided on one or both sides with the strips I and secured together
by the metallic staples J.
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. Securing or connecting jacquard cards together by the strips I, consisting of
either tape, leather, textile or other materials, and one or more metallic staples J,
substantially as described.
2. Securing or connecting jacquard cards together by the strips I, consisting of
either tape, leather, textile or other materials, secured thereto by means of glue,
