We, HENRY ORMEROD HUTCHINSON, and W. & J. HUTCHINSON LIMITED, of Daisy
Field Mill, Bury, in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturers, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a new and improved method of arranging the ends and
varying the amount of twist in certain of the ends composing the warp of a "twill
back cord" whereby a greatly improved curl is obtained and often a lighter warp
can be used than in the existing methods, thereby giving a very much improved
appearance in the finished cloth.
According to our method the warp for the back ends is composed of single or
two or more fold yarn, or mixed threads of each, of which one or any combination
of two or three ends, contains extra twist, and the remainder of them as well as the
face ends, may be composed of yarn either single or two or more fold, or mixed
threads of each, having the ordinary amount of twist, and the whole or any number
of them may be drawn in one or two or more ends in the heald.
"
We are aware that certain cords known in the trade as Broken twill backs"
or "Patents" have been made in somewhat similar manner and make no claim
in this application to the manufacture of any such cloths, but we desire to confine
the application of this system to "Twill back cords" or to the ordinary eight and
nine shaft cords.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Cotton Cords.
We, HENRY ORMEROD HUTCHINSON, and W. & J. HUTCHINSON LIMITED, of Daisy
Field Mill, Bury, in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturers, 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 a new and improved method of arranging the ends and
varying the amount of twist in certain of the ends composing the warp of a twill
back cord whereby a greatly improved curl is obtained and often a lighter warp
can be used than in the existing methods thereby giving a very much improved
appearance in the finished cloth.
According to our method the warp for the back ends is composed of single or

page_text: two or more fold yarn or mixed threads of each of which one or any combination
of two or more ends contains extra twist, and the remainder of them as well as
the face ends may be composed of yarn, either single or two or more fold or mixed
threads of each, having a less amount of twist in and the whole or any number of
them may be drawn in one or two or more ends in the heald.
We are aware that certain cords known in the trade as "Broken twill backs"
or "Patents" have been made in a somewhat similar manner, and we make no
claim in this application to the manufacture of any such cloths but we desire to
confine the application of this system to twill back cord's.
We annex five Patterns showing by way of example some of the various combina-
tions by which this system may be applied to various makes of twill back cords.
Fig. 1 shewing 9 picks to the round and 30 ends to the "gait-over." Fig. 2
showing 9 picks and 12 ends. Fig. 3 shewing 12 picks and 12 ends. Fig. 4,
12 picks and 28 ends, and Fig. 5, 12 picks and 16 ends.
"
In all these figures the extra twisted ends are indicated by thicker lines and
in every case the effect is similar; that is to say, certain ends having considerably
more twist or curl in them than the others draw up the latter during the after
"cockle or curl
processes to which the cloth is subjected and produce much more
on the fabric.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:-
:-
The improvements in the manufacture of cotton cords consisting in the combina-
tion with a twilled back (not "broken" or "Patents") of one, two, or more back
ends of yarn having "extra twist" arranged and combined as hereinbefore described
and illustrated by the diagrams hereunto annexed.
