PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Fringed Bed Quilt with Coloured Cross Striped
Effects.
JOHN NUGENT COSBEY Commission Agent & Merchant 40 Cheapside London do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:--
To produce an improved coloured quilt for use on beds &c. by which greater effect
& utility is combined with economy in cost of production. This is arrived at in the
following manner, instead of quilts being woven as usual in Jacquard looms I propose
their being woven in the ordinary looms without Jacquard effects same as are used
for weaving coloured cross striped curtains and shawls the coloured cross stripes being
simply varied according to taste & can either be made of coloured cotton wool silk or
other materials, the sides top & bottom of these quilts being fringed to any depth
required by simply using the weft & warp which may be left on each side for, this
purpose & thus the quilts made in this manner can he produced at nearly half the
cost of quilts produced as usual in Jacquard looms, & as these cross striped effects
are in colour these quilts will not require being washed & thus prove of greater
economy to users of them.
And as such a Quilt has never before been made sold or introduced I claim the
right of protection for the same.

An Improved Fringed Bed Quilt with Coloured Cross Striped
Effects.
JOHN NUGENT COSBEY Commission Agent & Merchant 40 Cheapside London E.C.
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
he performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
*
To produce an improved coloured fringed quilt for use on beds &c. by which
greater effect and utility is combined with economy in cost of production, this is
arrived at in the following manner, instead of quilts being wovea as usual in
Jacquard looms I propose their being woven in the ordinary looms, without
Jacquard effects same as used for weaving coloured cross-striped curtains & shawls
the coloured cross stripes being simply varied according to taste & can either be made
of coloured cotton wool silk or other materials, the sides top & bottom of these quilts
being fringed to any depth required by simply using the weft & warp which may be
left on each side for this purpose or by fastening on the fringe as on shawls &c. and
thus the quilts made in this manner can be produced at nearly half the cost of
those produced as usual in "Jacquard" looms & as these cross striped effects are in
colour these quilts will not require being washed and thus prove of greater economy
to users of them.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1st. That I thus can produce an improved fringed bed quilt with any variety of
coloured cross striped effects by an ordinary loom and thus save the great extra cost
of weaving quilts as usual in "Jacquard" looms.
2nd. That the idea of producing quilts in the manner I have described is perfectly
new and original.
3rd. As such quilts have never before been made sold or introduced I hereby claim
the right of protection for the same.
