PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Weaving of Double Pile Fabrics Face to Face.
We JOHN CLOUGH, of Grove Mills, Keighley in the County of York, Spinner
and Manufacturer and Jonx PARK, of 16 East View Terrace, Skipton in the
sai county, Designer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention has reference to an improved method of weaving double pile
fabrics; woven face to face in the loom and subsequently cut apart to form the
pile surfaces and producing what are known as Utrecht velvets, mohair plushes and
ther descriptions of cut pile fabrics. The pile is formed by the threads being
divided which had until that entting formed the connection between the two
cloths.
According to the ordinary method of weaving say Utrecht velvet on the double
pile fabric loom; face to face the crossing of the ends of pile threads in their
passage from face to face of the cloths has in the finished article a tendency to
produce defective appearances known as honeycombing or streakiness and it is one
of the objects of our invention to avoid these blemishes and also to render the
manufacture more economical.
In carrying out our invention we dispense with one of the usual two ends of pile
warp, but we make the single end of pile warp retained of correspondingly greater
substance, say approximately of double substance; that is to say instead of having
two ends of pile warp loomed in one reed we have only one such end, and this end
instead of crossing from cloth to cloth and being bound with four picks of weft
continuously being woven into each side of the cloth by these four picks alternately
thus producing a full pile at each pass instead of the half pile of the old method
referred to.
The ground warp is loomed in the usual fashion of Utrecht velvet weaving, but
as already mentioned instead of two pile ends from two shafts in each reed we use
only one pile end for one of ground on each side of the cloth but still using four
shafts and treaded so that one pile shall be produced at each two picks (as was the
case in the old method) and so as to produce a level face.

Improvements in the Weaving of Double Pile Fabrics Face to Face.
We JOHN CLOUGH, of Grove Mills, Keighley in the County of York, Spinner
and Manufacturer and Joux PARK, of 16 Eust View Terrace, Skipton in the said
county, Designer, 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 has reference to an improved method of weaving double pile
fabrics, woven face to face in the loom and subsequently cut apart to form the pile

page_text: surfaces and producing what are known as Utrecht velvets, mohair plushes and
other descriptions of ent pile fabrics. The pile is formed by the threads being
divided which had until that cutting formed the connection between the two
cloths.
According to the ordinary method of weaving any Brech velvet on the domin
pile fabric foom; face to face the crossing of the ends of pile threads in their
passage from face to face of the cloths has in the finished article a tendency to
produce defective appearances known as honeycombing or streakiness and it is one
of the objects of our invention to avoid these blemishes and also to render the

cording to the
metro of weaving HIVY
pile fabric foom; face to face the crossing of the ends of pile threads in their
passage from face to face of the cloths hus in the finished article a tendency to
produce defective appearances known as honeycombing or streakiness and it is one
of the objects of our invention to avoid these blemishes and also to render the
manufacture more economical.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS,
Fig. 1 shews by a diagrammatic face view and
Fig. 2 by a diagrammatic edge view half a double pile fabric woven according
to our invention alter the pile has been cut through.
Figs. 3 and 4 shew by like viewe to Figs. 1 and 2 a modification in the weaving
of the ground to adapt it to the manufacture of piled cloth according to this
invention, but employing the weave of back indicated in the earlier Specification
of Patent No. 20456, dated October 30th 1893, granted to us.
Fig. 5 shows the pile ends for two reeds-double pile.
Fig. 6 shows the pile ends for two reeds single pile.
Fig. 7 shows pile ends for one reed double pile.
Fig. 6 shows pile ends for one reed single pile.
aa are the pile warps, the ground warps, and ee the pick.
In carrying out our invention we dispense with one of the usual two ends of
pile warp, but we make the single end of pile warp a retained of correspondingly
greater substance, say approximately of double substance; that is to say instead
Of having two ends of pile warp loomed in one reed we have only one such end,
and these ends, instead of crossing each other between the cloths and being bound
with picks of weft continuously are woven into each side of the cloth by these four
picks alternately thus producing a full pile at each pass instend of the half pile of
the old method referred to.
The end in single pile is four picks alternately in the backs of the cloth and four
picks are missed, while in the double pile the ends work in the backs continuously-
BCC Figs. 5-8.
The ground warp is loomed in the usual fashion of Utrecht velvet weaving but
as already mentioned instead of two pile ends from two shafts in each reed we use
only one pile end for one of ground on each side of the cloth but still using four
shafts and treaded so that one pile shall be produced at each two picks (as was the
case in the old method) and so as to produce a level face.
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 method of weaving double pile fabrics face to face by dispensing with ono
of the two ends of pile warp usually employed and using instead a single end of
pile warp of double or correspondingly greater substance in manner and for the
purpose substantially as set forth.
