Improvements in the Manufacture of Ribbed Pile Fabrics.
We JESSE COLLINS and ABRAHAM COLLINS both of Royd Shed Hebden
Bridge in the County of York Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
:-
"cords " our
This invention relates to the manufacture of ribbed pile fabrics or
objects being to improve the appearance and "cockle" of the fabric and to obtain
a firm and fine back.
Hitherto it has been customary to weave cords with four or six of the back ends
intersecting every foundation or back pick warp way, with the ordinary arrange-
ment of face euds or pile binding ends, and the ordinary arrangement of two back
ends which make only two intersections warp way.
According to our invention we make the cords with seven or eight of the back
ends intersecting every foundation pick warp way in conjunction with the
ordinary arrangement of face ends or pile binding ends (or that hereafter
described) and the ordinary arrangement of two of the back ends which make
only two intersections warp way.
When we have eight ends intersecting every foundation or back pick warp way
we place two on each side of each pair of face ends or pile binding ends; but
when we have seven ends we place one only on one side of one of the pairs of
the said face ends.
These seven or eight ends may either be drawn in singly or double, the other
back ends are drawn in double as usual, as also are the face ends, but in some
cases we divide the latter into two by the healds, and we split them for the back
picks and couple them for the face picks; this will bend these ends in harder and
improve the back, but it will necessitate the use of two extra healds.
It will be evident that this division or splitting and coupling of the face ends or
pile binders can be applied to other kinds of cords.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Ribbed Pile Fabrics.
We JESSE COLLINS and ABRAHAM COLLINS both of Royd Shed Hebden
Bridge in the County of York, Manufacturers, 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:-
This invention relates to the manufacture of ribbed pile fabrics or
"cords" our
objects being to improve the appearance and "cockle" of the fabric and to obtain
a firm and fine back.
Hitherto it has been customary to weave cords with four or six of the back ends
intersecting every foundation or back pick warp way, with the ordinary arrange-
ment of face ends or pile binding ends, and the ordinary arrangement of two back
ends which make only two intersections warp way.
According to our invention we make the cords with seven or eight of the back
ends intersecting every foundation pick warp way, in conjunction with the ordinary
arrangement of face ends or pile binding ends (or that hereafter described) and the

page_text: ordinary arrangement of the remainder of the back ends which make only two
intersections warp way.
When we have eight ends intersecting every foundation or back pick warp way,
we place two of such intersecting ends on each side of each pair of face ends or
pile binding ends; as seen by the annexed diagram Nos. 1 and 4, and weavers
draft Nos. 1; and 4 but when we have seven ends intersecting every foundation
or back pick warp way, we place one only of such intersecting ends on one side of
one of the pairs of the said face ends, as shewn by the diagram No. 2 and
weavers draft No. 2, the single intersecting end referred to being the ninth.
These seven or eight ends may either be drawn in singly or double; the other
back ends are drawn in double as usual, as also are the face ends, but in some
cases we divide the latter into two by the healds, as seen by the annexed
diagram No. 3 and draft No. 3* and we split them for the back picks, and couple
them for the face picks; this will bind these ends in harder and improve the back,
but it will necessitate the use of two extra healds, as shewn by the said diagram
No. 3.
It will be evident from diagram No. 3 that this division or splitting and coupling
of the face ends or pile binders can be applied to other kinds of cords.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. An eight ended cord woven with seven or eight back ends intersecting every
foundation pick warp way substantially as described and illustrated by the annexed
diagrams.
2. In a ribbed pile fabric splitting the face ends or pile binders for the back
picks and coupling them for the face picks substantially as hereinbefore
described.
