PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Woven Fabric Suitable when Divided into Strips for
Dress Skirt and other Dress Bindings and other similar Purposes,
and when Undivided as Dress Goods, and the Method of Producing
the same.
I, LEVI FISH, of Spa Mill, Preston, in the County of Lancaster, Cotton Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved woven fabric suitable when divided into
strips for dress skirt and other dress bindings and other similar purposes, and
when undivided as dress goods, and the method of producing the same. The
improved fabric is in the form of a striped cloth in which the stripes are alter-
nately composed of weft velvet pile and satin plain or other analogous weaving or
of weft velvet pile and fancy weaving and is woven in double form. The double
cloth is so woven that the weft pile stripes in one of the cloths are woven
put in" opposite to the plain or fancy woven stripes in the other cloth.
In carrying out my said invention I arrange ordinary dobby or jacquard
apparatus so as in the process of weaving to bind the two cloths together with
the pile pick on the last race at each edge of the pile stripe so that when the pile
threads are subsequently cut with an ordinary velvet knife the two cloths will
be released from each other and be capable of being pulled asunder.
or
By this arrangement only the same number of picks and therefore the same
weight of weft yarn is required for the production of the double cloth as would
be required for the weaving of similar cloth in a single form because in the case
of a single cloth having plain or leno or other fancy stripes adjoining weft pile
stripes the weft would have to be "floated" behind the plain stripe on the one
hand and the fancy stripe on the other the said floated weft requiring to be after-
wards sheared off and therefore wasted.
By leaving two or more empty dents in the centre of the stripe of plain cloth
strips or ribbons the entire length of the woven piece may the more readily be
cut. Such strips composed of a central part of velvet pile and each side of plain
woven cloth constitute an improved material for use as a binding for the lower
edges of ladies' dress skirts and other similar purposes. Bindings for such
purposes have heretofore been cut diagonally or as is commonly termed " on
the bias" the length of each strip cut being limited by the width of the woven
piece whereas by my invention the strips are cut the entire length of the piece.
When the improved fabric produced as above described is not divided into
strips but left in the piece as woven it forms a striped cloth of effective appear-
ance suitable for dress goods and the like.

I, LEVI FISH, of Spa Mill, Preston, in the County of Lancaster, Cotton Manu-

same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
The
This invention relates to an improved woven fabric suitable when divided into
strips for dress skirt and other dress bindings and other similar purposes, and
when undivided as dress goods, and the method of producing the same.
improved fabric is in the form of a striped cloth in which the stripes are alter-
nately composed of weft velvet pile and satin plain or other analogous weaving or
of weft velvet pile and fancy weaving and is woven in double form. The double
cloth is so woven that the weft pile stripes in one of the cloths are woven or
put in" opposite to the plain or fancy woven strips in the other cloth.
stripes of weft pile are produced in the same way as ordinary plain velvets, cords,
corduroys and the like.
The
In carrying out my said invention I arrange ordinary dobby or jacquard
apparatus so as in the process of weaving to bind the two cloths together with
the pile pick on the last race at each edge of the pile stripe so that when the pile
threads are subsequently cut with an ordinary velvet knife the two cloths will
be released from each other and be capable of being pulled asunder.
By this arrangement only the same number of picks and therefore the same
weight of weft yarn is required for the production of the double cloth as would
be required for the weaving of similar cloth in a single form because in the case
of a single cloth having plain or leno or other fancy stripes adjoining weft pile
stripes the weft would have to be "floated" behind the plain stripe on the one
hand and the fancy stripe on the other the said floated weft requiring to be after- 2
wards sheared off and therefore wasted.
"
on
By leaving two or more empty dents in the centre of the stripe of plain cloth
strips or ribbons the entire length of the woven piece may the more readily be
cut. Such strips composed of a central part of velvet pile and each side of plain
woven cloth constitute an improved material for use as a binding for the lower 3
edges of ladies' dress skirts and other similar purposes. Bindings for such
purposes have heretofore been cut diagonally or as is commonly termed "
the bias the length of each strip cut being limited by the width of the woven
piece whereas by my invention the strips are cut the entire length of the piece.
When the improved fabric produced as above described is not divided into 3
strips but left in the piece as woven it forms a striped cloth of effective appear-
ance suitable for dress goods and the like. In the latter case it is to be understood
that when the improved fabric is to be used as dress goods the two cloths forming
the double fabric are to be used singly having first of all been separated or
released from each other by the cutting of the pile binding threads by means of a 4
velvet knife as hereinabove mentioned.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is:
1. The improved woven fabric suitable when divided into strips for dress skirt 4

page_text: and other dress bindings and other similar purposes, and when not divided into
strips suitable as dress goods, substantially as herein described.
2. The method of producing the improved woven fabric that is to say by weav-
ing it in double form with weft pile threads which bind or attach the two cloths
together at intervals and are capable of being cut so as to release the two cloths
from each other substantially as herein described.
