Universal Inventors and Patentees Financial Company Limited, 30 Finsbury
Pavement London, E.C. in the County of Middlesex, 'do hereby declare the nature
of said invention for, "A NEW OR IMPROVED PROCESS OF PREPARING FABRICS SO
AS TO RESEMBLE PLUSH & VELVET," to be as follows:-
The process consists in using canvas of the requisite thickness; the thread or
yarn to form the pile of the velvet or plush is passed through the canvas from the
under side over rods (provided or not with knives) and returning again to the
under side is drawn tight to the canvas.
The loops are then cut & the rods withdrawn, and by means of teasels the pile is
drawn in one direction, while by means of a rod to regulate its length and a velvet
knife or shears to cut off the long hairs &c.
Care should be taken to use canvas & threads of a corresponding thickness.
When this cannot be done the threads should be secured on the under side by
gum or other adhesive materials to prevent its being drawn out.
By this method the process of producing Velvet & Plush can be done at any
time, & of any length and closeness of pile.

described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is to produce a durable close fast pile material by
simple means that can be used at any time or place.
The
It consists in taking canvas of the requisite thickness through which the thread
or yarn to form the pile of the velvet or plush is passed by means of a common
needle from the under side over rods (provided or not with knives) or knitting
needles and returning again to the under side is drawn tight to the canvas
loops are then cut and the rods withdrawn and by means of teazels the pile is drawn
in one direction while by means of a rod to regulate its length and a velvet knife
or shears to cut off the long threads &c is made to resemble plush or velvet.
When this
Care should be taken to use canvas and thread of a corresponding thickness or
the threads forming the pile of the fabric will easily be drawn out
cannot be done the threads should be secured on the under side by gum or other
adhesive material.
By this method the process of producing plush and velvet can be done at any
time and of any length and closeness of pile altogether producing a thick durable
fabric.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
1st The production of close durable fast pile plush or velvet by means of a rod
(with or without knives) or knitting needles and a needle and suitable yarn
upon canvas.
2nd The fastening of heavy pile on thin canvas by means of gum or other adhesive
material placed on the under side.
