PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Terry Pile Fabrics.
We, THOMAS TAYLOR, of the Firm of Barlow and Jones Limited, of Bolton,
in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturers and JOHN HOLT, of 185 St. George's
Road, Bolton aforesaid Designer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
:-
Our invention relates to an improved terry pile fabric chiefly applicable for
towels, cloakings, jacketings, and the like, and our chief object is to produce a
"knoppy" surface on both sides of the fabric, these knops or loops being alternately
on each side one in the hollow of the other.
To produce our improved fabric with the same ground as for an ordinary terry
pile fabric we use by preference four healds, two healds for the ground warp, and
two healds for the pile warp, we draw three or any other suitable number of ground
threads in together (according to the closeness or otherwise of the knops) between
each pile warp thread.
When weaving our improved terry pile fabric with an ordinary terry pile ground
twelve picks to the round, the order of the shedding would be as follows:-

ascertained in and by the following statement :--
Our invention relates to an improved terry pile fabric chiefly applicable for
towels, cloakings, jacketings, and the like, and our chief object is to produce a
"knoppy" surface on both sides of the fabric, these knops or loops being alternately
on each side one in the hollow of the other.
Referring to the accompanying drawings forming part of this Specification―
Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating the order of shedding.
Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the draft or order of drawing in the ends through
the healds.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of our improved fabric cut through at the pile end
marked P¹.
'
Fig. 4 is a similar view but cut through at the pile end marked P
Fig. 5 is a cross section of the improved fabric illustrating picks Nos. 1, 2, 3, as
shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
In these views the pile warp threads are marked P1 and P, the ground warp
threads are G¹ to Go and the picks are shown numbered from 1 to 12. A and B
represent the heald shafts or staves containing the pile ends, and C and D those
containing the ground ends.
To produce our improved fabric with the same ground as for an ordinary terry
pile fabric we use by preference four healds as indicated by the diagrams, Figs. 1
and 2, two healds for the ground warp and two healds for the pile warp, we draw
three ground threads G', G, G³, and G, G, G as shown or any other suitable
number of ground threads in together (according to the closeness or otherwise of
the knops) between each pile warp thread P¹ and P'.
When weaving our improved terry pile fabric with an ordinary terry pile ground
twelve picks to the round, the order of the shedding as indicated by the diagram,
Fig. 1, would be as follows:—
