Improvements in the Weaving of Pile Fabrics.
I, WILHELM MUTHMANN partner of the firm of Wilhelm Muthmann & Sohn
of Elberfeld Rhenish Prussia, Germany Manufacturer do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved manner of making the binding of worsted
shag, plush and velvet like fabrics. Its peculiarity consists in that, that in both
parts of the double fabric a complete set of bindings requires 6 wefts to be passed
and that in both parts the bindings are equal and that the first and the fourth
weft respectively are bound by a special binding warp and not by the tight ground
warp and consequently they lie open and floating on the left side. On the right
side a smooth surface is formed therefore and by this the pile has a very good
stand covers the ground fully.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 shows the run of the pile warp ;
Figure 2 shows the run of the ground warp;
Figure 3 shows the run of the binding warp;
Figure 4 shows the manner of the binding of the various threads on the right
Side
Figures 5 & 6 are sections along lines I-II & III-IV respectively.
From the figures of the drawing it will be seen, that always after the passing of
6 wefts the same manner of binding is repeated in the same order and that always
the first and fourth shoot or weft is not bound by the ground warp or main
warp G (Fig. 2 & 4) but that the special binding warp B (Fig. 3 & 4) binds
these weft threads. Now from Figure 4, which shows the order of the threads
and the true figure of the relative position of the same on the right side of the
weaving, it will be seen that the pile warp has always on its left side the binding
warp and on its right side lies the ground warp and it will thus be easy for any
weaver, used to this sort of work, to produce a piece of plush according to this
method of working, which has the advantage that since the first and fourth weft
lic open and are not bound by the ground warp, an even smooth surface is formed
on the right side, that is on the side of the maps, and as stated above, this ensures
a very good stand of the naps and an even and complete covering.

I, WILHELM MUTHMANN partner of the firm of Wilhelm Muthmann & Sohn
of Elberfeld Rhenish Prussia, Germany Manufacturer do hereby declare the
nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to an improved manner of making the binding of pile
fabrics such as worsted shag, plush and velvet like fabrics. Its peculiarity consists
in that, that in both parts of the double fabric a complete set of bindings requires
6 wefts to be passed and that in both parts the bindings are equal and that the
first and the fourth weft respectively are bound by a special binding warp and not

side. On the right side a smooth surface is formed therefore and by this the pile
has a very good stand, covers the ground fully.
In the drawing lodged with the Provisional
Figure 1 shows the run of the pile warp;
Figure 2 shows the run of the ground-warp;
Figure 3 shows the run of the binding warp;
Figure 4 shows the manner of the binding of the various threads on the right
side;
Figures 5 & 6 are sections along lines I-II & III-IV respectively.
From the figures of the drawing it will be seen, that always after the passing of
6 wefts the same manner of binding is repeated in the same order and that always
the first and fourth shoot or weft is not bound by the ground warp or main warp G
(Fig. 2 & 4) but that the special binding warp B (Fig. 3 & 4) binds these weft
threads. Now from Figure 4, which shows the order of the threads and the true
figure of the relative position of the same on the right side of the weaving it will
be seen that the pile warp has always on its left side the binding warp and on its
right side lies the ground warp and it will thus be easy for any weaver, used to
this sort of work, to produce a piece of plush according to this method of
working, which has the advantage that since the first and fourth weft lie open and
are not bound by the ground warp, an even smooth surface is formed on the right
side, that is on the side of the naps, and as stated above, this ensures a very good
stand of the naps and an even and complete covering.
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:
Making pile fabrics, specially worsted shag (plush) in which each set of binding
is completed by 6 wefts and which always the first and fourth weft respectively
are not bound by the ground warp but by a special binding warp and in which the
order of the warps is, that the pile warp has always on its left side the binding
warp and on its right side the ground warp as set forth and shown.
