page_text: I, DAVID GREENHALGH of 10 Devon Street, Haulgh, Bolton in the County of
Lancaster, Manager, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to make cloth with a plain ground, or with a novel
peculiar matting ground and a fine plain or coarse plain embossed figure suitable for
white or colored quilts or quiltings and table covers.
To enable this cloth to be made with a plain ground the loom is gaited with
jacquard machines and two comber boards to work separately, and with two or more
healds.
To make this cloth with a novel peculiar matting ground the loom is gaited with
jacquard machines and two comber boards with two ends from each comber board to
work together, and with two or more healds.
One or two ends are drawn in from the healds in each space of the reed, and one or
two mail ends to each space of the reed, also with two mail ends and one heald end to
each space of the reed.
Two yarn beams are employed in the manufacture of this cloth with separate
tensions.
This cloth can be made in single shuttle looms, also in double box looms.
In "picking" or "wefting" this cloth with a plain ground in double box looms I
employ the following method :-
1st Pick. Both healds up and first comber board up and machine down for fine
pick.

page_text: 2nd Pick. First heald up and machine up for coarse pick.
3rd Pick. First heald up and machine up for coarse pick.
4th Pick. Second heald up and machine up for coarse pick.
5th Pick. Second heald up and machine up for coarse pick.
6th Pick. Both healds up and second comber board up and machine down for
fine pick.
:
By this method of "picking" or "wefting" a pocket or double cloth is formed in
the figure part of the same, by which a much better developed pattern is produced
than hitherto. By putting the second and third picks together in one shed, and
the fourth and fifth picks together in another shed I produce a level, smooth figure on
the cloth.

In "picking or wefting" this cloth to produce the aforesaid novel peculiar
matting ground in double box looms I employ the following method, which is composed
of twelve picks in the round.
1st Pick. Both healds up and first comber board up and machine down for
fine pick.
2nd Pick. First heald up and machine up for coarse pick.
3rd Pick. First heald up and machine up for coarse pick.
4th Pick. Second heald up and machine up for coarse pick.
5th Pick. Second heald up and machine up for coarse pick.
6th Pick. Both healds up and second comber board up and machine down for
fine pick.
7th Pick. Both healds up and second comber board up and machine down for
fine pick.
8th Pick. First heald up and machine up for coarse pick.
9th Pick. First heald up and machine up for coarse pick.
10th Pick. Second heald up and machine up for coarse pick.
11th Pick. Second heald up and machine up for coarse pick.
12th Pick. Both healds up and first comber board up and machine down for
fine pick.
In order that my Invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
operation I append the annexed sheet of drawings or diagrams.

Fig. 1 is a diagram of the method of "picking" or wefting" this cloth with a
plain ground.
The back yarn from the fast tension beam is represented by the dotted lines A and B.
C. C. are the fine presser picks that bind the cloth together, and D, D, D; D are the
coarse picks. The lines E and H represent the yarn from the face beam:
Two fine picks and four coarse picks form a round in four sheds for the plain
ground cloth.
Fig. 2 is a diagram of the method of "picking" or "wefting" this cloth to produce
the aforesaid novel peculiar matting ground.
The back yarn from the fast tension beam is represented by the dotted
lines A and B. C. C. are the fine presser picks that bind the cloth together,
and D, D, D, D are the coarse picks. The lines Ê and H represent the yarn from the
face beam.
The picks are marked on the drawings numerally in their respective order.

In making this cloth in a one shuttle loom one count' of "weft 'or picking only
is required.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
1st. The manufacture of figured cloth with a plain ground and a fine plain or coarse
plain embossed figure with a pocket or double cloth in the latter, with the method of
picking in the progressive order of one fine pick in the first shed; two coarse picks in
the second shed; two coarse picks in the third shed, and one fine pick in the fourth
shed, in looms with one or more shuttles, substantially in the manner herein set forth
and shown on the drawing in diagram Fig. 1.
2nd. The manufacture of figured cloth with a novel peculiar matting ground and a
fine plain or coarse plain embossed figure with a pocket or double cloth in the latter,
with the method of picking in the progressive order of coarse and fine picks of "weft,"
in looms with one or more shuttles, substantially in the manner described and as shown
on the drawing in diagram Fig. 2.
