Improvements in the Manufacture of Figured Woven Fabrics.
We, WALTER BOND, JOHN THOMAS BOND, and DAVID BELL, all of
Milton Mills, Haulgh, Bolton, in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturers, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention relates to the manufacture of figured fabrics, such as quilts,
toilet covers and the like, in which the figured or raised portions are produced by
coarse weft, and its object is to produce a more pleasing effect particularly in the
ground or plain parts of the fabrics.
According to these improvements, the two kinds of warp which are employed
and which are respectively known as the face and the stitching yarns, may be
wound in the usual manner on two beams.. The yarns from the two warps are
arranged in the following order :-Three ends of stitching yarn; one end of face
yarn; one end of stitching yarn; one end of face yarn.
The weft consists preferably of two picks of fine and two picks of coarse
alternately, but successive picks of fine and coarse weft may be taken if desired.

'Improvements in the Manufacture of Figured Woven Fabrics.
We, WALTER BOND, JOHN THOMAS BOND, and DAVID BELL, all of the
Milton Mills, Haulgh, Bolton, 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 the manufacture of figured woven fabrics, such as
quilts, toilet covers and the like, in which the figured or raised portions are
produced by coarse weft; and its object is to produce a more pleasing effect,
particularly in the ground or plain portions of the fabrics.
According to these improvements, the two kinds of warp which are employed in
the manufacture and which are known as the face and stitching yarns respectively,
may be wound in the usual manner upon two beams, and we arrange these warps in
the loom in the following order :-Three ends of stitching yarn, one end of face
yarn, one end of stitching yarn, and one end of face yarn. Six ends of yarn thus
arranged constitute a series, and this series is repeated through the whole width of
the warps. Thus, denoting each end of stitching yarn by the letter "S" and each
end of face yarn by the letter "F," we have the arrangement SSSF SF,
SSSFSF, SSSFSF, repeated as many times as may be required by the
width of the fabric.
The weft consists of two successive picks of fine weft, alternated by two
successive picks of coarse weft, but successive picks of fine and of coarse weft may
be taken when looms adapted for the purpose are employed.
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:-
1. In the manufacture of figured woven fabrics the arrangement of the stitching

page_text: and face warp ends in successive series of six ends, each series consisting of four
ends of stitching yarn and two ends of face yarn in the following order
SSSFSF; substantially as hereinbefore described.
:~
2. As a new article of manufacture, a figured woven fabric of the type herein-
before described having its stitching and face warp threads arranged as set forth in
the preceding claiming clause, and having also two successive picks of fine weft
alternated by two successive picks of coarse weft, or alternate picks of fine and of
coarse weft; substantially as set forth.
Dated this 27th day of October A.D. 1892.
