PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Lace.
1, CONSTANT DELANNOY, of 7 Rue de l'Hospice, Calais, in the Republic of
France, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
My invention relates to the manufacture of lace in tulle-looms, such lace having
openings filled up by a groundwork of linen in imitation of ribbon passed through
the openings by hand.
Tulle-looms produce many kinds of openwork lace and openwork articles :-
(1) Simple openwork lace, that is to say small chain links succeeding each other
between two bands.
(2) Openwork lace similar to this, but provided on one or both sides with various
ornaments forming a design.
In either case the openings serve for passing through them by hand ribbons or
bands of various widths and colours which are employed for trimming corsets,
petticoats and dresses for ladies.
Such a ribbon if passed through the openings by hand necessitates a certain
amount of work which I propose to obviate by producing simultaneously in the
loom both the openwork lace and the ribbon.
The mode of carrying this invention into practice will be readily understood by
anyone skilled in the art on inspection of the accompanying drawing, in which
Figure 1 represents the designing and
Figure 2 the method of imitating the ribbon.
As shown these parts which fill up the openings are obtained by plain work or
cross weaving the weft, bobbin and warp threads.
Upon the products obtained as set forth the ribbon is fixed; I may also make it
movable in the openings. This ribbon passes now above and now below, exactly
as a ribbon passed by hand from one opening to the other.
I have shown in Figure 3 of the drawing the designing for the manufacture of
this article made entirely in the loom, and Figure 4 shows the method of imitating
the ribbon passed through the openings.
For the groundwork I may employ silk, cotton, wool or any other textile
material which is the same as or different from that to which the ribbon is attached.
In like manner I may vary at will the width, colours and decorative designs of
these articles.
Dated this 11th day of January 1895.

Provisional Specification, in which

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 :-
The manufacture of articles of lacework with imitation of ribbon passed through
the holes obtained in the manner herein before described with reference to the
