Vandyked Edges in Bed Quilts, and of Fringing the same,
Applicable also to other Woven Fabric.
I JOHN KIPPAX of 35 Bark Street, Bolton in the County of Lancaster, Manufac-
turer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the method of undulating, corrugating scolloping or
vandyking the edges of Bed quilts and other woven fabric and fringing of the same.
It may be woven by one or two jacquards, one to be used for the sides, and the
other for the middle of the cloth. It may be woven also with one jacquard in which
case a certain or requisite number of hooks must be set apart specially for the sides,
and the remainder of the hooks set apart for the middle of the cloth.
1 will now give an example in "Alhambra " cloth.
The middle of the cloth may be woven in the usual manner with heald for tabby
and jacquard for the figure or pattern, but the sides or edges where the undulations,
corrugations scollops or vandykes is required by the jacquard only-Every alternate
end of the warp to the jacquard is to act as the heald or white end of the warp, and
the intermediate end of the warp is to act as the coloured end of the warp--in
weaving the middle of the cloth it is woven in the usual manner the white end of the
warp tabby either from the heald or jacquard and the intermediate coloured ends of
the warp from the jacquard only to make or form the pattern or figure-In weaving
the sides or edges no healds will be required. To make the undulations, corrugations,
scollops or vandykes every alternate end or ends of the warp to the jacquard is to act
as heald ends and the other intermediate end or ends of the warp to the jacquard is to
act as coloured ends of the warp-In weaving the sides or edges the coloured and white
ends of the warp from the jacquard is manipulated in the same manner as it is done
in the middle where the cloth is required-For making or forming the undulations,
corrugations, scollops or vandykes at the edges or sides the white and coloured ends of
the warp to the jacquard is not used at all except where cloth is required, thus
allowing the white and coloured ends of the warp to float either under or over, or any
portion of same to float either under or over which will allow of the weft to draw up

page_text: to the edge of the cloth forming the undulations, corrugations, scollops or vandykes-
The floating ends will then be cut off and by this means will leave a clear undulated,
corrugated, scolloped or vandyked edge.
An undulated, corrugated, scolloped or vandyked edge may be formed by allowing
the warp and weft to float in such shape and manner as may be required, and the
floating portion then cut off close to the edge of the cloth.
For fringing the edge of the cloth the yarn and weft are allowed to float in the same
manner as before described-The weft is caught by suitable means at such distances
from the shaped edge of the cloth as the length of the fringe may require.
For forming an undulated scolloped corrugated or vandyked edged fringe when
fringing with the weft, the weft may be allowed to draw up to the edge of the cloth every
other or alternate pick, that is, one pick to be caught to form the fringe, and one or more
picks allowed to draw up to the edge of the cloth for forming the selvage, or the pick
or picks may be allowed to draw up to the edge of the cloth at every third or fourth
pick, or at any other time that may be required.
In the case of two or more shuttles being used for weaving or operating different
or mixed colours of weft any one two or more of the coloured weft threads may be
allowed to draw up to the edge of the cloth, and the remainder caught as may be
desired for forming a fancy coloured fringe.

I JOHN KIPPAX of 35 Bark Street, Bolton in the County of Lancaster, Manufac-

is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to the method of undulating, corrugating, scolloping or
vandyking the edges of Bed quilts or covers and other woven fabric and fringing of
the same.
It may be done or woven by one or two jacquards, one to be used for the sides and
the other for the middle of the cloth.
It may be done or woven also with one jacquard in which case a certain or requisite
number of hooks must be set apart specially for the sides and the remainder of the
hooks set apart for the middle of the cloth."
And in order that my invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will now give an example in what is commonly understood as Alhambra "
cloth.

The middle of the cloth may be woven in the usual and ordinary manner with heald
for tabby and jacquard for the figure or pattern, but the sides or edges where the
undulations, corrugations scollops or vandykes is required, by the jacquard only-
Every alternate end of the warp to the jacquard is to act as the heald or white end of
the warp and the intermediate end of the warp is to act as the coloured end of the warp.
In weaving the middle of the cloth it is woven in the usual manner, the white ends of
the warp tabby either from the heald or jacquard and the intermediate coloured ends
of the warp from the jacquard only to make or form the pattern or figure. In weaving
the sides or edges no heald will be required-To make form or weave the undulations,
corrugations, scollops or vandykes every alternate end or ends of the warp to the
jacquard is to act as heald ends and the other intermediate end or ends of the
warp to
the jacquard is to act as coloured ends of the warp. In weaving the sides or edges,
the coloured and white ends of the warp from the jacquard are manipulated in the
same manner as it is done in the middle where the cloth is required-For making or
forming the undulations, corrugations, scollops or vandykes at the edges or sides the
white and coloured ends of the warp to the jacquard are not used at all except
where cloth is required, thus allowing the white and coloured ends of the warp to
float either under or over, or any portion of same to float either under or over which
will allow of the weft to draw up to the edge of the cloth forming the undulations,
corrugations, scollops or vandykes-The floating ends will there be cut off and by
this means will leave a clear undulated, corrugated, scolloped or vandyked edge.

same manner as before described-The weft is caught by suitable means at such
distances from the shaped edge of the cloth as the length of the fringe may require.
For forming an undulated, corrugated, scolloped or vandyked edged fringe when
fringing with the weft, the weft may be allowed to draw up to the edge of the cloth
every other or alternate pick, that is, one pick to be caught to form the fringe and
one or more picks allowed to draw up to the edge of the cloth for forming the selvage.
Or the pick or picks may be allowed to draw up to the edge of the cloth at every third
or fourth pick, or at any other time that may be required.
In the case of two or more shuttles being used for weaving or operating different
or mixed colours of weft, any one, two or more of the coloured weft threads may be
allowed to draw up to the edge of the cloth and the remainder caught as may be
desired for forming a fancy coloured fringe.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is-
Firstly. The method of weaving or forming undulated, corrugated scolloped or
vandyked edges in bed quilts or covers, and its application to other woven fabric
substantially as herein specified.
Secondly. The fringing of the edges substantially as herein described and specified.
