PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Figured Cloths.
GEORGE MORT, Rose Bank, Patricroft, near Manchester, in the County of
Lancashire, Cotton Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
My object is to make a figured cloth, having two or more colours of warp
threads in its composition, the said cloth having a plain, twill, satin, or honeycomb
appearance upon its face side and a twill appearance on its back side.
In carrying out my object, I employ a Jacquard machine in weaving the cloth,
for the purpose of forming the figure in the cloth.
I also make use of four cumber boards for the purpose of weaving a twill
appearance at the back side of the cloth, and also for the purpose of binding the
cloth firmly together.
I also make use of two or more healds, for the purpose of making the plain,
twill, satin, or honeycomb appearance on the face side of the cloth.
I also make use of two shuttles in weaving the cloth, one of which contains coarse
cotton or other suitable yarns and which I use for making the face side of the cloth.
The second shuttle which contains fine cotton or other suitable yarns, I use for the
purpose of binding the back and face sides of the cloth together, and also for
making the twill appearance at the back side of the cloth.
I make use of a yarn beam, and on it I put the warp yarn of two or more colours
as required. The said warp yarn is worked by the Jacquard machine into any
required figures upon the face of the cloth, and when not required to form the
figures the said warp yarn is bound on the back side of the cloth by the before
mentioned cumber boards.
I also make use of a second yarn beam, which contains a one-colour yarn, this
said yarn I use in connection with the said two or more healds for the purpose of
weaving the plain, twill, satin, or honeycomb appearance on the face side of the
cloth.
In making my cloth I weave it in a loom of the ordinary construction.
As an example of the manner of weaving my cloth with a twill effect on the back
side and a plain effect on the face side by the use of the two or more healds I work
as follows
1st pick. Coarse weft, jacquard up and first heald up.
2nd pick.
3rd pick.
Coarse weft, jacquard up and second heald up.
Fine weft, jacquard up, second heald up and first board up.
Fine weft, jacquard up, first heald up and second board up.
Coarse weft, jacquard up, and first heald up.
4th pick.
5th pick.
6th pick.
Coarse weft, jacquard up, and second heald up.
7th pick.
Fine weft, second heald up.
8th pick. Fine weft, first heald up.
It is eight picks to the round and the cloth is made by repeating the eight picks.
Dated this 9th day of June 1891.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Figured Cloths.
GEORGE MORT, Rose Bank, Patricroft, near Manchester, in the County of
Lancashire, Cotton 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 :-
My object is to make a figured cloth, having two or more colours of warp
threads in its composition, the said cloth having a plain, twill, satin, or honeycomb
appearance, upon its face side, and a twill appearance on its back side.
In carrying out my object, I employ a Jacquard machine in weaving the cloth,
for the purpose of forming the figure in the cloth.. I also make use of four cumber
boards a Patent Seal for which was granted to me A.D. 1889, and numbered 17147,
for the purpose of weaving a twill appearance at the back side of the cloth, and also
for the purpose of binding the cloth firmly together.
I also make use of two or more healds, for the purpose of making the plain, twill,
satin, or honeycomb appearance on the face side of the cloth.
I also make use of two shuttles in weaving the cloth, one of which contains coarse
cotton or other suitable yarns, and which I use for making the face side of the cloth.
The second shuttle, which contains fine cotton or other suitable yarns I use for the
purpose of binding the back and face sides of the cloth together, and also for
making the twill appearance at the back side of the cloth.
I make use of a yarn beam, and on it I put the warp yarn of two or more colours
as required. The said warp yarn is worked by the Jacquard machine, into any
required figures upon the face of the cloth, and when not required to form the
figures, the said warp yarn is bound on the back side of the cloth, by the before
mentioned cumber boards.
I also make use of a second yarn beam, which contains a one-colour yarn, this
said yarn I use in connection with the said two or more healds for the purpose of
weaving the plain, twill, satin, or honeycomb appearance on the face side of the
cloth.
In making my cloth I weave it in a loom of the ordinary construction.
As an example Figure 1. of the manner of weaving my cloth with a twill effect
on the back side, and a plain effect on the face side, by the use of the two or more
healds I work as follows:-
First pick. Coarse weft, jacquard up, and first heald up.
Second pick. Coarse weft, jacquard up, and second heald up.
Third pick. Fine weft, jacquard up, second heald up, and first board up.
Fourth pick.
Fine weft, jacquard up, first heald up, and second board up.
Fifth pick. Coarse weft, jacquard up, first heald up.
Sixth pick. Coarse weft, jacquard up, and second heald up.
Seventh pick. Fine weft, second heald up.
Eighth pick. Fine weft, first heald up.
It is eight picks to the round, and the cloth is made by repeating the eight picks.
Another example Figure 2. of the manner in which I weave my cloth is as
follows:-
First pick. Coarse weft, jacquard up, and first heald up.
Second pick.
Coarse weft, jacquard up, and second heald up.
Third pick. Fine weft, jacquard up, second heald up, and first board up.
Fourth pick. Fine weft, jacquard up, first heald up, and second board up.
Fifth pick. Coarse weft, jacquard up, and first heald up.
Sixth pick. Coarse weft, jacquard up, and second heald up.

page_text: A third example Figure 3 of the manner in which I weave my cloth is as
follows:-
First pick. Coarse weft, jacquard up, and first heald up.
Second pick. Coarse weft, jacquard up, and second heald up.
Third pick. Fine weft, jacquard up, all healds up, and first board up.
Fourth pick. Fine weft, jacquard up, all healds up, and second board up.
Fifth pick. Coarse weft, jacquard up, first heald up.
Sixth pick. Coarse weft, jacquard up, second heald up.
Seventh pick. Fine weft, jacquard up, all healds up, and third board up.
Eighth pick. Fine weft, jacquard up, all healds up, and fourth board up.
It is eight picks to the round, and the cloth is made by repeating the eight picks.
In making my cloth with two or more colours of yarn upon the yarn beam, which
said yarns are worked by the jacquard machine, I draw in one end of one colour,
and then one end of another colour.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The manufacture of coloured figured cloths, by the use of two or more colours
of yarn, drawn one end of one colour, and then one end of another colour, the said
yarns being worked by a Jacquard machine, along with four cumber boards, into
any required figures upon the face side of the cloth, in combination with a one-
colour yarn worked by two or more healds, to form a plain or twill appearance on
the face side of the cloth as described.
2. The use of the four cumber-boards (a Patent Seal for which was granted to
me A.D. 1889, and numbered 17147), for the purpose of working a twill appearance
on the back side of the cloth, and also for the purpose of binding the cloth firmly
together as described.
Dated this 5th day of March 1892.
