1, LEWIS HASLAM of Ravenswood near Bolton in the County of Lancaster,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
:-
My invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of articles of clothing,
such as, under vests, shirts, pants, night-dresses and shirts, pyjamas, children's frocks,
socks, and socks for boots and shoes, also for domestic and other articles consisting of
sheets, counterpanes, curtains and other hangings, and consists in manufacturing them
from "Cellular" cloth or fabric woven in the following manner :-Each alternate
thread or end of the warp is crossed by a longer warp thread; these threads are
interlaced by the weft which may be of cotton, silk, woollen, worsted, silkoline, jute,
or other analogous substances.
In manufacturing "Cellular" cloth for the above mentioned articles it is woven to
any desired width and length to allow of its being cut and made up by sewing and
binding in the usual manner, being lined or otherwise.
Socks for boots and shoes are cut to the requisite form and bound and lined with
any suitable material.
Sheets, counterpanes, curtains, and other hangings can be made in one or more
pieces and sewn together in any suitable or convenient manner in the middle or
otherwise.

drawings is a diagram.
A. A are warp threads from the back warp beam crossed by the longer warp
threads B. B from the face warp bean, both being drawn from the said warp beams
alternately as in Fig. 2. The warp threads A and B are interlaced with the wett
threads C. C. which may be of cotton, silk, woollen, worsted, silkoline, jute, or other

Fig. 3 is another method of drawing the warp threads A and B from the warp
beams to produce the "Cellular" cloth wherein they are drawn two and two alternately,
the threads A. A being crossed by the longer warp threads B. B as in Fig. 1.
In manufacturing "Cellular" cloth to produce the before mentioned articles it is
woven from yarns of suitable counts according to the weight and strength of the
articles required, and can be made to any desired width and length, after which it is
cut and made up by sewing and binding in the usual manner, being lined or other-
wise. If desired the articles can be made of numerous thicknesses of this cloth
according to the various requirements.
Socks for boots and shoes are cut to the requisite form and bound and lined with
any suitable material.
Sheets, counterpanes, curtains, and other hangings can be made in one or more
pieces and sewn together in any suitable or convenient manner in the middle or
