Improvements in the Manufacture of Pile Fabrics.
We, HERBERT ANDERTON FOSTER, Manufacturer, and WARD HOLROYD, Over-
looker, both of Black Dike Mills, Queensbury, in the County of York, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Heretofore in pile loop fabrics whether woven single or double fabric, that is
to say-face to face and in which the pile was tied by one pick of weft only,
a defect was that when the loops were cut. the back of the U formed
pile was not secured in the ground or backing of the fabric, and the pile was
liable when subjected to pressure to be forced out or partially out of the backing.
In order to remedy such defect an additional thread or threads have been
introduced and applied specially for the purpose of tyeing in the cut pile
staples U.
The object of this invention is to utilize the ordinary ground threads for a
double purpose and so as not only to form or weave the ground as heretofore, but
also to effect the tyeing in of the cut pile staples U.
The following is an example of a weave wherein the ordinary threads for
forming the ground are also so further utilized and applied as to effect the
tyeing in of the cut pile staples U.
As
According to this invention we tie in the pile threads by one of the picks
which go under the three and one weave and over the one and one weave.
the ends which weave one and one weaves opposite to both the pile and the three
and one at the time of binding in the pile, by giving the three and one weave
a longer length of warp, it allows the pile thread to be placed equal distance
between the ends which weave one and one, and also to go directly under the
ends which weave three and one, thereby preventing it from being pushed
through on to the back.
'
We do not limit the application of our improvements in fabrics to the exact
order of the weave or interlacing afforded by above example so long as it is
provided that the ordinary or usual threads for forming the ground are so applied
and made to serve the further use of tyeing in the cut pile staples U.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Pile Fabrics.
We, HERBERT ANDERTON FOSTER, Manufacturer, and WARD HOLROYD, Over-
looker, both of Black Dike Mills, Queensbury, in the County of York, 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:
Heretofore in pile loop fabrics whether woven single or double fabric, that is
to say face to face--and in which the pile was tied by one pick of weft only,
a common defect was that when the loops were cut the back of the U formed
pile was not secured in the ground or backing of the fabric and the pile was
liable when subjected to pressure to be forced out or partially out of the backing.
The object of this invention is to utilize the ordinary ground threads for the
double purpose of forming the ground weave and effecting the tyeing in of the
cut pile staples.
H
According to this invention we tie in the pile threads by one of the picks
which go under the three and one weave and over the one and one weave." As
the ends which weave one and one weaves opposite to both the pile and the three
and one at the time of binding in the pile by giving the three and one weave
longer length of warp it allows the pile thread to be at equal distances between
the ends which weave one and one, and to be directly under the ends which weave
three and one, whereby the pile is prevented from being pushed through on to
the back.
The following is an example of a weave according to our invention,
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section and
Fig. 2 is a plan view shewing diagrammatically the order of weaving.
A, A, A are the picks of weft which tie in the pile threads B and B A are
also picks of weft. C, C, are two warp threads which pass over three picks of
weft A, A, A and thence under one pick of weft A. D, D are two warp threads
which are passed under and over the picks of weft alternately.
It will be observed that in this example each fabric has a double ground each
woven in the same manner and tied together by the weft threads, but the weave
which is described and diagrammatically shewn in Fig. 2 is equally applicable
to fabrics with only a single ground, i.e., in which the pile threads B₁ are caught
into the same ground as the pile threads B.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:
.:
The improved manufacture of pile fabrics by weaving or interlacing the warps,
weft, and pile threads in the manner herein described and illustrated diagram-
matically by the drawings annexed.
