Improvements in Looms for Weaving Certain kinds of the
or Woven Fabrics known as "Terries" or "Pile Woven
Fabrics."
I MATTHEW DICKIE Junior of Park Mill Stockport in the County of Chester
Cotton Doubler, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to looms for weaving certain kinds of the "cloths" or woven
fabrics known as « terries " or "pile woven fabrics."
"
"
The kinds of the "cloths " or woven fabrics known as terries or "pile woven
fabrics" which contain in the "terry," designs so woven in "colours" that changes
of colour are produced in the " terry" in the length of the cloth have hitherto
generally been woven in "Jacquard Looms"-For convenience I shall hereinafter
refer to the woven fabrics known as "
terries or pile woven fabrics." to the weaving
of which my invention relates as terries."

"
The object of my invention is to weave "terries" of the kinds above mentioned in
"dobby looms" without "cards or "loose pegs" being employed and thus enable
such "terries to be produced more readily and cheaply than hitherto.
In one method of accomplishing the object of my invention 1 employ a pattern-
chain provided with links of two or more heights such chain passing around a pulley
which receives motion by means of a "star wheel" or an equivalent therefor from a
shaft which receives rotary motion from the crank-shaft of the loom-The said shaft
may be the tappet-shaft of the loom-The chain before mentioned at times acts upon
a bowl or roller mounted upon one arm of a bell-crank-lever the other arm of which
is jointed to one end of a connecting rod the other end of which is jointed to a
lever mounted fast upon a shaft capable of being turned in bearings carried by the
framework of the loom.
Fast upon the shaft before referred to is an arm from which projects a stud which
at times acts upon one end of a lever mounted upon a stud, the other end of the lever
being connected to a rod or bar from which depend bars or filling pieces-I provide
the loom with a barrel, drum or roller which receives rotary motion from any

convenient part of the loom-The barrel, drum or roller above mentioned is provided
with "
snugs or projections which acting upon the bars or filling pieces before
mentioned will cause such bars or filling pieces to act upon the "hooks"
: blades
or
to which the healds are connected so that such "hooks" or blades" will be at
certain times so placed that they will be raised by the "vibrating knife" in order to
raise or depress the warp-threads as may be desired. I so arrange the " snugs or
projections upon the barrel, drum or roller aforesaid that when such barrel, drum
or roller is revolving one set or series of "snugs" or projections will by means of
certain of the bars or filling pieces operate to cause certain threads of the warp
used to form the "terry" to be formed into "terry" at the upper surface of the
fabric being woven while another set or series of the said " snugs" or projections
will operate to cause other threads of the warp used to form the "terry" to be formed
into "terry" upon the lower surface of the fabric being woven-At the same time
another set or series of the "snugs" or projections upon the drum, barrel or roller
will by means of certain of the bars or filling picces acting by means of the apparatus
employed for the purpose operate the threads of the warp employed to form the
"body" of the fabric being woven.
When the bowl or roller before mentioned is acted upon by certain of the links of
the chain certain of the threads of the warp of which the "terry" is formed will by
means of certain of the "snugs" and certain of the bars or filling pieces above
mentioned be caused to be formed into the. "terry" upon the lower surface of the
fabric being woven while certain other threads of the warp will be caused to be formed
into "terry" upon the upper surface of the fabric. being woven-When the bowl or
roller above mentioned becomes supported upon other links of the chain the rod or
bar above referred to and the bars or filling pieces dependent therefrom will be moved
in a direction parallel to the axis of the drum, barrel or roller before mentioned so
that another set or series of the " snugs or projections upon the barrel, drum or
roller will by means of the bars or filling pieces be caused to act by means of the
apparatus employed, upon the warp-threads so that some or all of those warp-threads
which were previously being employed in the formation of the "terry
upon the
lower surface of the fabric being woven will be caused to be formed into the "terry*
upon the upper surface of the fabric being woven while some or all of those warp-
threads which were previously being formed into the "terry" upon the upper surface
of the fabric being woven will be employed in the formation of the "terry" upon
the lower surface of the fabric being woven.

I form each of the parts against which the bars or filling pieces act to bring
the hooks or blades before referred to into position for being raised by the "vibrating
knife," of such width that the lateral movement of the bars or filling pieces may
take place without such bars or filling pieces being carried beyond the said parts.

I also provide the barrel, drum or roller above mentioned with a set or series of
« snugs or projections arranged in the manner necessary for the formation of the
"satteen," plain or other portions at the ends or other parts of the towels or
other articles being woven-In order that such snugs or projections may be
caused to operate the warp-threads the rod or bar above mentioned and the bars or
filling pieces dependent therefrom are moved in a direction parallel to the axis of the
barrel, drum or roller by means of the lever acted upon by the stud above mentioned
and to retain the said bar and the bars or filling pieces dependent therefrom in
position for being acted upon by the desired set or series of " snugs or projections
I employ a catch hinged or connected to any suitable part of the loom which catch
is provided with steps or notches against which at times rests a stud or projection
on the lever before mentioned. When the stud or projection above mentioned rests
against one of the steps or notches formed in or upon the catch above mentioned the
bars or filling pieces will be in such position that when they are acted upon by the
set or series of "snugs or projections by means of which the "satteen is formed
satteen" will be produced-When the stud or projection above mentioned rests
against another step or notch formed in or upon the said catch another series of
snugs or projections upon the barrel, drum or roller will act upon certain of the

The first method of accomplishing the object of my invention is illustrated by
Figs. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6 and 7 of the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 being a front
elevation and Fig. 2 a side view showing so much of a loom as is necessary to illustrate
the first method of accomplishing the object of my invention.-Fig. 3 shows upon a
larger scale a portion of that which is shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 is a plan of that
which is shown in Figs. 1. 2 and 3-The same letters of reference are applied to
corresponding parts throughout the whole series of figures.
a is a shaft which receives rotary motion from the crank-shaft b of the loom-Fast
upon the shaft a is a "noggin wheel" or peg wheelc which imparts rotary motion
'to a star wheel d mounted upon a stud e supported by a bracket -The bracket fis

page_text: secured to the framework g of the loom-Fast with the star wheel d is a pulley h
around which passes a pattern-chain j formed of links of two heights as shown in
Fig. 5 which is a view showing a portion of the pattern chain; detached.
To the framework g of the foom is secured a bracket & which by means of a pin
supports a bell-crank-lever m— -Upon the arm m³ of the bell-crank-lever m is mounted
a bowl n which is supported by and at times acted upon by the links of the
pattern-chain To the end m² of the bell-crank-lever m is jointed one end of a
connecting rod o the other end of which is jointed to one end of a lever p fast upon a
shaft carried by and capable of being revolved in bearings secured to the framework
of the loom Fast upon the shaft q is an arm from which projects a studs which at
times acts upon one end t¹ of a lever t mounted upon a stud u secured to the frame-
work g of the loom.
q

The end t' of the lever t is kept in contact with the studs by a spring one end of
which is secured to the lever t while the other end of such spring v is secured to the
framework g.
The lever t is formed with jaws t³ furnished with pins which pass into a groove A
formed in a collar w fast upon a rod or bar a capable of being slidden longitudinally
in openings formed through the side-framings g of the "dobby" B which is secured
to the framework g of the loom.
From the rod or bar & depend filling pieces y-The filling pieces y are prevented
from moving longitudinally upon the rod or bare by collars secured upon the said
rod or bar a. I provide the loom with a barrel, drum or roller 1 the axle 1ª of which
is supported by and capable of being rotated in the framings g of the dobby B-Fast
upon the axle 1 is a toothed wheel 2 gearing into or engaging with a wheel 3 mounted
upon and capable of being rotated upon a stud 1 secured to one of the framings g'.
Fast with the wheel 3 is a bevel-wheel 5 which gears into or engages with a bevel
wheel 6 fast upon one end of a shaft 7 which receives rotary motion from the shaft 8
by means of bevel-wheels 9. 10. The bevel-wheel 6 shaft 7 and bevel-wheels 9 and 10
are indicated by dotted lines. 11° 11° 11° 11° 11° are bars supported by and capable
of being moved longitudinally in bars 12 secured to the framings g-Each of the
bars 11 11 11 11 11 is provided with a spring 13 which tends to force such bar in
the direction indicated by the arrow C.-Passing through the bars 11 11 11 11 11
respectively are the hooks or blades 14" 14° 14° 14 14-Also passing through the
bars 11 11 11° 11° 11° respectively are the hooks or blades 15" 15b 15 15 15.
16 and 17 are the vibrating knives by which the hooks or blades 14" 14" 14 14 14°,
15 15 15 15 15° are raised-Except where it is necessary to distinguish a particular
one of the hooks or blades 14° 14° 14° 14° 14° or of the hooks or blades 15° 15° 15° 15° 15°
I shall refer to such hooks or blades as the hooks or blades 14 or 15 as the case may
be and in like manner I shall refer to other parts which are repeated in like manner-
The barrel, drum or roller 1 is provided with " snugs or projections D which acting
upon the bars or filling pieces y will cause such bars or filling pieces y to act upon the
hooks or blades 14 15 to which the healds are connected so that such hooks or
blades 14. 15 will be at certain times so placed that they will be raised by the
knives 16. 17 in, order to raise or depress the warp-threads as may be desired-
1 so arrange the songs or projections D upon the barrel, drum or roller 1
that when such barrel drum or roller D is revolving one set or series of ::
or projections D will by means of certain of the bars or filling pieces y operate
to cause certain threads of the warp used to form the " terry to be formed into
terry" upon the upper surface of the fabric being woven while another set or series of
the snugs, or projections D will operate hy means of others of the bars or filling
pieces y to cause other threads of the warp used to form the " terry to be
formed into "terry" upon the lower surface of the fabric being woven-At the
same time another set or series of the snugs or projections D will by means of the
bars or filling pieces y acting by means of apparatus employed for the purpose operate
the threads of the warp employed to form the body of the fabric being woven.

When the bowl or rollern becomes supported by the links of the pattern-claim į
the bell-crank-lever m will be turned in the direction indicated by the arrow E and

page_text: *
by means of the connecting-rod o lever and shaft will turn the arm and stud s
in the direction indicated by the arrow F so as to move the end of the lever t in the
direction indicated by the arrow G and by so doing cause the rod or bar a to be
traversed in the direction indicated by the arrow H and bring certain of the bars or
filling pieces y into the path of certain of the "snugs" or projections D which
snugs or projection D will by acting upon certain of the bars or filling pieces y
cause certain of the threads of which the " terry" is to be formed to be formed
into "terry" upon the lower surface of the fabric being woven while certain other
threads of such warp will be caused to be formed into "terry" upon the upper surface
of the fabric being woven-When the bowl or roller a becomes again supported in
the position in which it is indicated in the drawing, by a link j being brought by the
rotation of the star-wheel d. beneath the bowl or roller n the rod or bar and the bars
or filling pieces y will be moved in a direction opposite to that indicated by the
arrow and certain of the hooks or blades 14. 15 will cause some or all of those
warp-threads which were previously being employed in the formation of terry
upon the lower surface of the fabric being woven, to be formed into "terry" upon the
upper surface of such fabric, while some or all of the warp-threads, which were previously
being formed into the "terry" upon the upper surface of the fabric being woven
will be employed in the formation of the "terry upon the lower surface of the
said fabric.
22
27
I form or provide each of the parts of the bars 11 against which the bars or filling
picces y act to bring the books or blades 14. 15 into position for being raised by the
vibrating knives 16. 17 with a part 18 of such width that the lateral movement of
the bars or filling pieces y may take place without such bars or filling pieces being
carried beyond the ends of the parts 18-One of the parts 18 is shown in plan in
Fig. 6.
35 26
I also provide the barrel, drum or roller 1 with a set or series of snugs or projec-
tions D arranged in the manner necessary for the formation of the " "satteen," plain
or other portions at the ends or other parts of the towels or other articles being
woven.
3966
In order that the snugs or projections employed to form the said "satteen," plain"
or other portions may be caused to operate the warp-threads the rod or bar x and. the
bars or filling pieces y are moved by hand in the direction indicated by the arrow H
parallel to the axis of the drum or roller 1 by means of the lover t and to retain the
rod or bar and the bars or filling pieces y in position for being acted upon by the
.desired set or series of projections or snugs DI employ a catch 19 hinged or con-
nected to one of the framings g' which catch 19 is provided with steps or notches 20.21
against which at times rests the stud 22. When the longitudinal movement of the
barrel, drum or roller 1 is being controlled by the pattern-chain ; the catch 19 is
turned clear of the stud 22 as indicated in Fig. 2 but when a "satteen,'
"plain" or
other part at the ends or other parts of the towels or other articles, is being woven
the catch 19 is turned into the position in which it is indicated in Fig. 7 in which
the stud 22 is shown as being supported upon the step or. notch 21 of the catch 19.
When the stud 22 is supported upon the step or notch 21 of the catch 19 certain
of the snugs or projections D will act upon certain of the hooks or blades 14. 15
which will be so acted upon as to cause a sattcen part to be woven and when the
stud 22 is supported upon the step or notch 20 of the catch 19 the snugs or projec-
tions D acting upon the hooks or blades 14. 15 will produce a "running terry
"plain cloth with terry tread or other "tread" according to the arrangement of the
snugs or projections D.

In another method of accomplishing the object of my invention I employ a pattern
chain provided with links of two or more heights such chain passing around a pulley
which receives motion by means of a "star wheel" from a shaft which receives rotary
motion from the crank-shaft of the loom. The said shaft may be the tappet-shaft of
the loom The chain before mentioned, at times supports a bowl or roller mounted
upon one arm of a bell-crank-lever the other arm of which is jointed to one end of a
connecting-rod the other end of which is jointed to a lever mounted fast. upon a

shaft capable of being turned in bearings carried by the framework of the loom.
Fast upon the shaft above referred to is an arm from which projects a stud which at
times acts upon one end of a lever mounted upon a stud, the other end of the said
lever being provided with a fork the ends of which pass into grooves formed in a
collar fast upon the axle of a barrel, drum or roller which receives rotary motion from
any convenient part of the loom-The barrel, drum or roller above mentioned is
provided with "
snugs" or projections which cause the "hooks"
or " blades" to
which the healds are connected to be at certain times so, placed that they will be raised
by the vibrating "knife" in order to raise or depress the warp-threads as may be
desired-1 so arrange the
snugs or projections upon the barrel, drum or roller
aforesaid that when such barrel, drum or roller is revolving in one position one set
or series of the "snugs"
or projections will operate to cause certain threads of the
warp used to form the "terry" to be formed into "terry" at the upper surface of the
fabric being woven while another set or series of the said " snugs or projections
will operate to cause other threads of the warp used to form the "terry" to be formed
into "ierry" upon the lower surface of the fabric being woven. At the same time
another set or series of the "snugs" or projections upon the above mentioned barrel,
drum or roller will by means of the apparatus employed for the purpose, operate the
threads of the warp employed to form the body of the fabric being woven-
When the bowl or roller before mentioned is supported by certain of the links of the
chain previously referred to certain threads of the warp of which the "terry" is
formed will by means of certain of the "snugs" or projections upon the barrel, drum
or roller above mentioned be caused to be formed into the "terry
upon the lower
surface of the fabric being woven while certain other threads of the said warp will
be caused to be formed into the "terry" upon the upper surface of the fabric being
woven. When the bowl or roller above mentioned becomes supported upon certain
of the links of the chain aforesaid the barrel, drum or roller prèviously mentioned
will be moved longitudinally so that another set or series of the snugs or projections
upon the said barrel, drum or roller will be caused to act by means of the apparatus
employed, upon the warp-threads so that some or all of those warp-threads which
were previously being employed in the formation of the " terry" upon the lower
surface of the fabric being woven will be caused to be formed into the "terry" upon
the upper surface of the fabric being woven, while some or all of those warp-threads
which were previously being formed into the "terry upon the upper surface of the
fabric being woven will be employed in the formation of the "terry" upon the lower
surface of the fabric being woven. I also provide the barrel, drum or roller above
mentioned with a set or series of " snugs or projections arranged in the manner
necessary for the formation of the "satteen," "plain" or other portions at the ends
or other parts of the towels or other articles being woven and in order to bring such
snugs
or projections into action the said barrel, drum or roller is moved "by
longitudinally by means of the lever acted upon by the stud above mentioned
and to retain the said barrel, drum or roller in position for bringing the desired set or
series of the "snugs" or projections into action I employ a catch hinged or connected
to any suitable part of the loom which catch is provided with steps or notches against
which at times rests a stud or projection on the lever before mentioned. When the
stud or projection above mentioned rests against one of the steps or notches formed
in or upon the catch above mentioned the barrel, drum or roller above referred to will
be held in such position that the set or series of "snugs" or projections by means
of which the "satteen" is formed will be caused to act upon the "blades " or hooks"
before referred to. When the stud or projection above mentioned rests against
another step or notch formed in or upon the said catch a set or series of " snugs
or projections upon the barrel, drum or roller will act upon the "blades or hooks
above referred to so. that a "running terry" or a "plain cloth with terry tread" or
other "tread" will be produced.

As many of the parts employed in this method of accomplishing the object of my
invention are similar in construction and operation to parts above described in
reference to the former method of accomplishing the object of my invention I shall
A

page_text: only describe those parts which are necessary to illustrate this method of accomplishing
the object of my invention and to the parts which are similar to those employed in the
above described method of accomplishing the object of my invention I shall apply the
same letters of reference as I have applied to the corresponding parts above described
in reference to the former method of accomplishing the object of my invention.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 8 is an elevation and Fig. 9 a plan showing so
much of a loom as is requisite to illustrate this method of accomplishing the object of
my invention. Secured to the framework g of the loom are the side framings g¹ of
the "dobby" B. Supported by and capable of being rotated and slidden longitudinally
in bearings 23. formed on or secured to the side framings gl is the axle 24" of a barrel
drum or roller 24. Fast upon one end of the axle 24 is a toothed wheel 25 which
gears into or engages with a wheel 26 mounted and capable of being turned upon a
stud 27 secured to one of the side-framings g¹. Fast with the wheel 26 is a bevel-
wheel 5 which receives rotary motion from any convenient and suitable part of the
loom as above described in reference to the first method of accomplishing the object of
my invention.

Secured to or formed upon the axle 24ª is a boss or collar 28 in which is formed a
groove J into which pass pins projecting from jaws 29 formed upon one end of a
lever t carried by and capable of being turned upon a stud u secured to one of the
framings g. To the end of the lever is secured a projecting stud s. In the
framings g is mounted a shaft q mounted fast upon which is an arm .-The shaft is
actuated by means of a bowl and pattern-chain in a manner similar to that above
described in reference to the first method of accomplishing the object of my invention.-
To the end of the lever t is connected one end of a spring the other end of which
is connected to one of the framings g¹. The spring tends to turn the lever t in the
direction opposite to that indicated by the arrow F and keep the lever in contact
with the stud s. Upon the barrel, drum or roller 24 I provide "snugs
or pro-
jections K which acting directly upon certain of the bars 11 will cause such bars 11
at certain times to be so placed that certain of the hooks or blades 14, 15 will be raised
by the vibrating "knives" 16. 17 in order to raise or depress the warp-threads as may
be desired. I so arrange the "snugs" or projections K upon the barrel, drum or
roller 24 that when such barrel, drum or roller 24 is revolving in one position one set
or series of the "snugs or projections K will operate to cause certain threads of the
warp used to form the "terry" to be formed into " terry at the upper surface of
the fabric being woven while another set or series of the " snugs or projections K
will operate to cause other threads of the warp used to form the " terry to be formed
into "terry" upon the lower surface of the fabric being woven. At the same time
another set or series of the "snugs" or projections K upon the barrel, drum or
roller 24 will by means of the apparatus employed for the purpose operate the threads
of the warp employed to form the body of the fabric being woven. When the bowl or
roller is acted upon by certain links of the pattern-chain employed in a manner similar
to that in which the pattern-chain described in reference to the first method of accom-
plishing the object of my invention is employed certain threads of the warp employed
to form the "terry" will by means of certain of the snugs or projections K upon the
barrel, drum or roller 24 be caused to be formed into "terry" upon the lower surface
of the fabric being woven while certain other threads of the said warp will be caused
to be formed into the "terry" upon the upper surface of the fabric being woven.
When the bowl or roller above referred to becomes supported upon the other links of
the pattern-chain so that the connecting rod O is moved, the barrel, drum or roller 24
will be moved longitudinally in the direction indicated by the arrow L so that another
set or series of the snugs or projections K upon the barrel, drum or roller 24 will be
caused to act by means of certain of the hooks or blades 14. 15 employed, upon the
warp-threads so that some or all of those warp-threads which were previously being
employed in the formation of the "terry upon the lower surface of the fabric being
woven will be caused to be formed into "terry" upon the upper surface of the fabric
being woven while some or all of the warp-threads which were previously being formed
into "terry" upon the upper surface of the fabric being woven will be employed in

page_text: the formation of the "terry" upon the lower surface of the fabric being woven.-I
also provide the barrel, drum or roller 24 with a set or series of "snugs" or pro-
jections K arranged in the manner necessary for the formation of the "satteen,"
"plain" or other portions at the ends or other parts of the towels or other articles
being woven and in order to bring such "snugs" or projections into action I employ
a catch 19 shown in Fig. 10 which shows the catch 19 and certain other parts detached.
The catch 19 is hinged upon a stud secured to one of the framings g¹. The catch 19
is provided with steps or notches 20, 21. When the stud or projection 30 upon the
levert rests against one of the steps or notches 21 the barrel, drum or roller 24 above
referred to will be held in such position that the set or series of the snugs or pro-
jections K by means of which "satteen" is formed will be caused to act upon the
bars 11. When the stud or projection 30 rests against the step or notch 20 a set or
series of the snugs or projections K upon the barrel, drum or roller 24 will act upon
the bars 11 so that a "running terry" or plain cloth with terry tread " or other
"tread" will be produced according as the " snugs or projections Kare arranged.-
The toothed wheel 26 is made of such width that the barrel, drum or roller 24 may be
moved longitudinally as above described without the toothed wheel 25 passing out of
gear with or becoming disengaged from the toothed wheel 26.

In order to show more clearly the class of "terries" in the production of which
my invention is to be employed I have in Figs. 11 and 12 of the accompanying
drawings furnished diagrams illustrating the upper surface and lower surface
respectively of a portion of "terry" such as might be produced in a loom to which
my invention is applied. In the said diagrams the portions to which the same letters
of reference are applied are intended to represent portions of "terry" of one colour
or shade the portions marked 31 being of one colour or shade, those marked 32 of
another colour or shade, those marked 33 of another colour or shade, those marked
34 of another colour or shade, those marked 35 of another colour or shade and those
marked 36 of another colour or shade.
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:
1. For the purpose of enabling "terries" of the kinds above described to be
woven in "dobby looms" without "cards" or "loose pegs" being employed; a
barrel drum or roller such as 1. bars or filling pieces such as y, operated by means
of a pattern-chain such as j and auxiliary mechanism substantially as hereinbefore
described in reference to and illustrated in and by Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of the
accompanying drawings.
