A NEW FIGURED CLOTH AND THE METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Year: 1881

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Jacob Warburton, of Bolton, in the County of Lancaster,
for an Invention of "A NEW FIGURED CLOTH AND THE METHOD OF
MANUFACTURING THE SAME.”
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Jacob Warburton at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 19th May 1881.
JACOB WARBURTON, of Bolton, in the County of Lancaster. "A NEW FIGURED
CLOTH AND THE METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME."
My new cloth is to be used principally for toilet quilts, toilet covers, anti-
micassars, mats, table cloths, curtains, and other similar articles, and it is composed
of satin or twill cloth made with one warp, while another warp makes a figure
upon the said twill or satin ground; the second warp when not in use for making
figures is used for making a satin, or twill, or plain back.
In performing my Invention I use a loom of ordinary construction with tappet
for making the weft satin face and twill back of the cloth and with jacquard for
producing figure; in some places I may throw the weft to the back of the cloth to
be afterwards cut off.
In weaving this cloth I employ eight or any other number of shafts to make the
face satin of weft; also four or any other number of pressers to make the back
twill satin or tabby. For instance in making cloth with eight end satin face and
four end twill back and figure thereon the warp sheds would be as follows:
1st. The sixth face or satin heald is risen along with the jacquard.
2nd. The third face or satin heald is risen, the jacquard still remaining up.
3rd. The whole eight satin healds are risen, the jacquard still remaining up, and
the first and fourth pressing healds or harness boards are lifted along with the
third pick.
4th. The eighth face or satin heald is risen along with the jacquard.
5th. The fifth face or satin heald is risen, the jacquard still remaining up.
6th. The whole face or satin healds are risen, the jacquard still remaining up,
and the third and fourth pressing healds or harness boards are lifted along with
this pick.
7th. The second face or satin heald is risen along with the jacquard.
8th. The seventh face or satin heald is risen, the jacquard still remaining up.

page_text: 9th. The whole face or satin healds are risen, the jacquard still remaining up,
and the second and third pressing healds or harness boards are lifted along with
the ninth pick.
10th. The fourth face or satin heald is risen along with the jacquard.
11th. The first face or satin heald is risen, the jacquard still remaining up.
12th. The whole face or satin healds are risen, the jacquard still remaining up,
and the first and second pressing healds or harness boards are lifted along with
the twelfth pick.
The above arrangement may be varied considerably, as desired, in the form of
twill or satin face, or in the formation of back in the above case every third pick
is put in the back. I might put every fourth pick in the back or every fifth in
the back or any other proportion; also I might choose to make the back with the
machine instead of using pressing healds or harness boards.

by the said Jacob Warburton in the Great Seal Patent Office on the
14th November 1881.
JACOB WARBURTON, of Bolton, in the County of Lancaster. "A NEW FIGURED
CLOTH AND THE METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME."
My new cloth is to be used principally for quilts, toilet covers, antimacassars,
mats, table cloths, curtains, and other similar articles, and it is composed of satin
twill cloth made with one warp, while another warp makes a figure upon the said
twill or satin ground; the second warp when not in use for making figures is used
for making a satin twill or plain back.
In performing my Invention I use a loom of ordinary construction with tappet
for making the weft satin face and twill back of the cloth and with jacquard for
producing figure; in some places I may throw the weft to the back of the cloth
to be afterwards cut off.
1
In weaving this cloth I employ eight or any other number of shafts to make the
face satin of weft; also four or any other number of pressers to make the back
twill satin or tabby. For instance, in making cloth with eight end satin face and
four end twill back and figure thereon the warp sheds would be as follows:-
1st. The sixth face or satin heald is risen along with the jacquard.
2nd. The third face or satin heald is risen, the jacquard still remaining up.
3rd. The whole eight satin healds are risen, the jacquard still remaining up, and
the first and fourth pressing healds or harness boards are lifted along with the
third pick.
4th. The eighth face or satin heald is risen along with the jacquard.
5th. The fifth face or satin heald is risen, the jacquard still remaining up.
6th. All the face or satin healds are risen, the jacquard still remaining up, and
the third and fourth pressing healds or harness boards are lifted along with this
pick.
7th. The second face or satin heald is risen along with the jacquard.
Sth. The seventh face or satin heald is risen, the jacquard still remaining up.
9th. All the face or satin healds are risen, the jacquard still remaining up, and
the second and third pressing healds or harness boards are lifted along with the
ninth pick.
10th. The fourth face or satin heald is risen along with the jacquard.
11th. The first face or satin heald is risen, the jacquard still remaining up.
12th. All the face or satin healds are risen, the jacquard still remaining up, and
the first and second pressing healds or harness boards are lifted along with the
twelfth pick.
The above arrangement may be varied considerably as desired in the form of
twill or satin face or in the formation of back; in the above case every third pick
is put in the back. I might put every fourth pick in the back or any other
proportion; also I might choose to make the back with the machine instead of
using pressing healds or harness boards.
In manufacturing cloth according to my Invention, the satin or twill cloth is
woven continuously from one warp at the same time that the floated yarn figure
is produced on the surface by another warp, the body of the cloth and the figure
being woven simultaneously, the figure warp being bound when at the back.
Having thus stated the nature of my Invention and fully described the manner
in which the same is to be or may be performed or carried into practical effect,
I declare that I claim as my Invention,-
1. The manufacture of satin or twill cloth woven continuously from one warp

page_text: at the same time that a floated yarn figure is produced on the surface of the cloth
from another warp, the latter being bound at the back when not making figure,
substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. The figured cloth, manufactured as herein described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Jacob Warburton, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Ninth day of November, One thousand eight hundred and
eighty one.
JACOB WARBURTON. (L.S.)
