PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Tubular Woven Articles.
I, BERNARD FRANKLIN, of the Firm of William Franklin & Son, 48, Bagley
Lane, Coventry, in the County of Warwick, Manufacturers, do hereby declare
the nature of my said invention to be as follows:
My invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of tubular
woven articles such for instance as neckties scarves, waistbands hat bands and etc.
Hitherto such tubular woven articles have been manufactured without a lining
which has made them rather inferior to made up articles of a similar description
having a lining.
Now according to my invention when manufacturing tubular woven articles
which may be of any design or pattern and of any length or width desired or
plain on one side with a pattern or design on the other or with different patterns
on either side I weave another or second texture to form a lining or inner. part.
This second or inner texture is woven simultaneously with or at the same time
as the outer or tubular texture is woven and is secured to the inside of the tubular
texture at the sides during the process of weaving and may be plain or of a
similar or different pattern or design to the tubular texture. In some I may
weave more than one of these additional or inner textures during the weaving
of the tubular texture if desired and the inner or additional texture or textures
may be secured to the inside of the tubular texture at other parts than the sides
when necessary.
Tubular woven articles having an inner or additional texture or lining are
much superior to made up articles as the lining cannot move or get out of place
which so frequently occurs with the lining in made up articles.

the nature of my said 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 has for its object improvements in the manufacture of tubular
woven articles such for instance as neck ties scarves, waist bands hat bands &c.
Hitherto such tubular woven articles have been manufactured without a lining
which has made them rather inferior to made up articles of a similar description
having a lining.
Now according to my invention when manufacturing tubular woven articles
which may be of any design or pattern and of any length or width desired or
plain on one side with a pattern or design on the other or with different patterns
on either side I weave another or second texture to form a lining or inner part.
This second or inner texture is woven simultaneously with or at the same time
as the outer or tubular texture is woven and is secured to the inside of the tubular
texture at the sides during the process of weaving and may be plain or of a
similar or different pattern or design to the tubular texture. In some cases I may
weave more than one of these additional or inner textures during the weaving
of the tubular texture if desired and the inner or additional texture of textures
may be secured to the inside of the tubular texture at other parts than the sides
when necessary.
In order that my invention may be more clearly understood and easily carried
into practical effect I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings
upon which I have illustrated examples of my improvements.
Figure 1 shews a portion of a tubular woven neck tie or scarf made according
to my invention.
Figure 2 is a cross sectional view of Figure 1 shewing the lining B.
Figure 3 is a similar view to Figure 2 shewing a tubular woven article with
two linings.
In carrying my invention into practice when manufacturing tubular woven
articles such for instance as neck ties scarves, waist bands or other articles which
may be of any design or pattern and of any length or width or plain on one side with
a pattern or design on the other or with different patterns on either side I weave
the second texture B to form a lining or inner part to the tubular texture A.
This lining or inner texture B is woven simultaneously with or at the same time as
the outer or tubular texture A and is secured to the interior of the texture A at
the sides during the process of weaving as clearly shewn at Figure 2. The
lining or inner texture B may be plain or of a similar or different pattern or
design to the texture A.
At Figure 3 I have shewn the tubular texture A with two additional or inner
textures B which are woven simultaneously with the outer texture A but it must
be understood that there may be more than two of these inner textures if desired
and this inner or additional texture or textures may be secured to the interior of
the outer texture A at the other parts than the sides when necessary.
To accomplish the weaving of an inner texture or textures the positions of the
holes in the pattern cards are altered which allows certain threads to be raised at
stated periods.
Tubular woven articles woven with an inner or additional texture or lining or
linings as above described are much superior to articles of a similar nature made up
from a single length of material as the lining B cannot move or get out of place
which so frequently occurs with the lining in articles to which the lining is
stitched or attached while making up the articles.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
CLAIM.
The new manufacture of tubular woven articles consisting essentially in weav-
ing such tubular articles with an inner textura or lining on Linings

page_text: in the manner and for the purpose substantially as herein before described and
as shewn upon the accompanying sheet of drawings.
