PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Method of Producing Figured Double Pile Fabrics.
I, JACOB WACKERS, of No. 205, Wankumerstrasse, Grefrath, near Krefeld, in
the Empire of Germany, Foreman, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:
Jacquard-double-pile-fabrics have heretofore been produced in such a manner
that the pile-warp threads at those places, where no pile was to be formed were
allowed to float or hang from the underside of the lower fabric, and were then
cut off.
Thus
On the contrary, according to this improved method, the pile warp threads,
are, at those places where no pile is to be formed, equally distributed in both
fabrics by so fastening or tying them up, in any suitable pattern, into each
fabric, that so-called mirror or reflecting effects are produced therein.
whereas according to the previously employed process the pile warp threads, at
those places, which were not to be provided with pile, were not tied at an into
the fabric, but rested loosely upon the back of the bottom fabric, in order to
be subsequently cut off; according to this improved method however, the pile
warp threads are tied or connected to both fabrics at those places, which are
not provided with pile and appear more or less frequently therein upon the right
side of the fabric, this being the very cause of their producing the so-called
mirror or reflecting effects. Of course, at those places where no pile is to be
formed, the two fabrics are not connected by the pile warp threads, on the
contrary the latter are while producing mirror or reflecting effects continued
in each fabric, until, for the purpose of producing pile they are again transferred
into the other fabric. In this manner, while using one and the same pile warp
thread, two uniform fabrics are produced, which, owing to the mirror or reflecting
effect, become more valuable than fabric produced in the former style, without
the cost of manufacture being thereby increased.

page_text: tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement;-
Jacquard-double-pile-fabrics have heretofore been produced in such a manner
that the pile-warp threads at those places, where no pile was to be formed were
allowed to float or hang from the underside of the lower fabric, and were then
cut off.
Thus
On the contrary, according to this improved method, the pile warp threads,
are, at those places where no pile is to be formed, equally distributed in both
fabrics by so fastening or tying them up, in any suitable pattern, into each
fabric, that so-called mirror or reflecting effects are produced therein.
whereas according to the previously employed process the pile warp threads, at
those places, which were not to be provided with pile were not tied at all into
the fabric, but rested loosely upon the back of the bottom fabric, in order to
be subsequently cut off; according to this improved method however, the pile
warp threads are tied or connected to both fabrics at those places, which are
not provided with pile and appear more or less frequently therein upon the right
side of the fabric, this being the very cause of their producing the so-called
mirror or reflecting effects. Of course, at those places where no pile is to be
formed, the two fabrics are not connected by the pile warp threads, on the
contrary the latter are while producing mirror or reflecting effects continued
in each fabric, until, for the purpose of producing pile they are again transferred
into the other fabric. In this manner, while using one and the same pile warp
thread, two uniform fabrics are produced, which, owing to the mirror or reflecting
effect, become more valuable than fabric produced in the former style, without
the cost of manufacture being thereby increased.
The manner in which the old method and my improved method are carried
into practice is illustrated in the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Figures 1 and 3 show methods of cross-weaving or tying for three picks Fig. 1
being the old method and Fig. 3 my improved method.
Figures 2 and 4 represent the old method and my improved method of cross
weaving or tying for two picks, Fig. 2 being the old method and Fig. 4 my
improved method.
The reference numerals 1-6 & 1 4 of the drawings denote the order of
picks, as Figs. 1 & 3 shew a weaving for 3 picks, & Figs. 2 & 4 a weaving for
2 picks.
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:
A method of producing double-pile fabrics with mirror or reflecting effects,
presenting this characteristic feature that the pile-warp at those places, where
no pile is formed, is evenly tied up in both fabrics and forms mirror or reflecting
effects therein.
