Improvements in or relating to the Production of Fabrics with Inter-
woven Plush Borders applicable for Portieres and the like.
I, Hugo BERNHARDT, of No, 7, Sedan Strasse, Chemnitz, in the Kingdom of
Saxony, and German Empue, Weaving Technician, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particu-
laily described and ascertained in and by the following statement
1
The object of the present application consists of a process for enabling plush
borders of any kind to be woven into portiere fabrics table cloths and the like in
such a manner that the interwoven edging is not visible at the back of the material,
but the same shews a uniform backing throughout
Such fabres have been hitherto woven in such a manner that the back has had
to be lined with a satin fabric in order to conceal the projecting plush border on
the reverse side
My new process relates to a special binding, which by means of a special method
of weaving covers this boider It should be remarked that this so called covering
piece is preferably woven according to my new process in the same colour as the
back of the portiere fabric, so that the same, as already stated, hides the objection-
able edging at the back
In the accompanying diawing
Figure illustrates a piece of portiere fabric, and the parts marked a thereon
indicate the backing of the material, whilst the parts marked b indicate the inter-
woven plush edging.
It is to be noted that this plush edging can be of various kinds, and may be
formed either with the aid of pinted threads, or by the use of a Jacquard machine,
which is capable of weaving any desired patterns
It is immaterial whether single or double plush 18 inserted in the edging, and
this will be decided entirely by the practical needs of the case Further, my pro-
cess 18 applicable to any desired edging
In Figure 2 of the accompanying drawing the process is shewn as applied to
a double plush fabric of the ordinary kind, and 18 carried into effect in the follow-
ing manner
The upper and under surface A. B consists of the pile catching weft threads c, and
of the pile binding weft threads d, whereas the threads flying over the same form
the so-called covering threads The pile binding threads d, which during the
weaving appear at the back of the fabric, are covered up by aid of the cover-
ing threads in such a manner that at the back only the said covering threads f
are visible
For this purpose the operation 18 so modified that special covering
chain threads f¹ lift, which theads bring the interposed covering threads over
the pile binding threads, so that the latter are covered by the former
This process can be still further modified by causing the pile binding or pile
catching threads, or the covering threads, either to engage only in the plush
bordering, so that as shewn in Figure 1 they only engage from I to I, or the weav-
ing may be so carried on that these threads extend over the whole width of the
CD R77

only for a short distance in the rest of the fabric, as is shewn by the line 111 111
It should also be remarked that the backing of the plush can be not only smooth,
but also in any desired one colour Jacquard pattern, so that the back of the portiere
fabric or material possesses in every respect a perfectly smooth and uniform
coloured appearance
This process renders it possible to utilize the fabric direct from the machine as
already stated, without rendering a special lining requisite for the same.
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 18
-
The improved process for the production of a decorative fabric suitable for
portieres table-cloths and the like with interwoven plush border, characterized by
the arrangement that by the introduction of a special thread in the ground chain
a complete covering of the back of the edging is obtained, whether the pattein
of the edging be obtained by printed pile threads, or by aid of a Jacquard loom,
and in which the pile catching and pile binding threads or the covering threads
may be either interwoven with the backing throughout the whole material, or only
partially, substantially as described
