AppIication flied July 18, 1919. Serial No. 311,725.l
To (171 whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN W. HENRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Crawfordsville. in the county of Montgomerv and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Method of Making Rugs, of which the following is a specification.
The objects of this invention are, first, to provide a rug frame of novel form, whereby a selvage may be made, in a known process, along one edge of a rug, which, heretotore, has beeli provided with a fringe.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved ste-p in the piocess of making the rug, whereby a cutting of the base net will be avoided.
Another object of the invention is to improve the construction of the rug.
It iswithin the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices ofitliat type to which the invention appertains.
With the foregoing and other objects inI view, which Will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in thecombination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood, that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the 1nvention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 shows in top plan, a portion of a rug frame constructed in accordance with the invention, a rug being shown thereon, in the various steps of tli'eimanufacture of the rug; Fig. 2 is a sectional view showing how the fibers of the rug are prepared for cut-l ting; Fig. 3 is a bottom plan diagrammatic in nature and showing sundry details; Fig. 4 is a side elevation lshowing the member whereby a compression of the fiber is ef'- fected, during the cutting operation, parts appearing in section; Fig. 5 is a perspective illustrating the cutting operation; Fig. 6 is a plan showing the member delineated in Fig. 4 in duplicated form, the view disclosing a modification; Fig. 7 is a sectional detail illustrating a modification in the rug.'
Numeral 1 denotes a frame, ordinarily of rectangular form and including end pieces 2, and side pieces 3. Pins 4 are mounted on the end pieces 2, and, as a distinctive improvement angle hooksare mounted on the side pieces 3, the hooks 5 having upstanding ends 6. c
The fr ameabove described is adapted to be used in a rug making process which is known and old, saving as to details hereinafter pointed out. In carrying out this process, there is provided a base net 7, ordinarily made of cords, and including longitudinal strands 8 engaged with the pins 4, and transverse strands 9 engaged with pins. on the side pieces 3 a known process. but in the present form of the invention, en-l gaged with the ends 6 of the single hooks 9.
n the base net 7, constructed as above described, is placed a body 10, including longitudinal fibers 1l and transverse fibers 12, the longitudinal fibers 11 being disposed above the longitudinal strands 8 of the base net and the transversefibers A12 being disposed above the transverse strands 9 of the base net. At the points Where the transverse strands 8 and 9 cross, and where consequently, the fibers 11 and 12 cross the strands and the fibers are tied together as at 14, by means of a cord 15. The'fibers 11 and 12 are cut as indicated at 16 iii-Fig. 1, between the points Where the fibers cross the free ends thus produced upstanding to form tufts 17. The longitudinal fibers 8 of the base net 7 and the longitudinal fibers 10 are cut as indicated at 30 to form a fringe 32. Heretofore this fringe has extended around all four sides of the rug, but, in the present improvement, and because the angle hooks 5 are used, the rug is provided along two of its edges in a selvage strip 31, as distinguished from a fringe, the selvage strip beiitiggied wherever necessary, as indicated a In making a rug according -to the process above described, considerable difficulty has been experienced when the fibers 11 and 12 are cut as shown at 16, because it is exceedingly difficult in practice to make this cut without severing not only transverse fibers 11 and 12 and the strands 8 and 9 as Well, the result of course, being that the rug has a loose portion or a hole at the point where a complete severance of the fibers and the strands is made. In order to avoid defects of the kind above mentioned, there is supplied a member or pin 18 provided in one end with a. relatively shallow notch 19 and with a deeper notch 20. The transverse fibers 9 of the basenet and the corresponding fibers 12 of the body 10 or the strands 8 or the base net and the corres onding fibers 11` of the body, are engage -between the of a knife 21 operated in the shallow notch- 19. As .a consequence .from the foregoing,
a tuft forming ends 22 result asshown inv Fig. 5,'but as shown in that 'figure'-,the strands of the base net are severed. Fur-' ther, certain of the fibers 10 and l1 are' not'h severed, but remain intact as shown a't23,V
crossedfstrands df a base net, securing the above the strands of the base net,thereby covering the fist transverse strands 0f the base net.
In,the form of the invention shown in Fig. 6, the numeral 24: designates ins like the part 18,- the notches 25 being o the sort heretofore described, the pins being mounted on a body 26, the modification consisting' essentiall in assembling the pins 18 in gangs. he body 26 may carry as many pins 24 as is considered expedient or neces-- sar Iii Fig. 7, a modified form of rug is shown. The base net appears at 27 and the fibers are shown at 29. In this form of the invention, the body-forminoF fibers are placed both above and below the base `step 'w in the deeper of two intersecting notches of a net and, consequently, the rug s providedl not only upon its upper surface, but upon its lower surface as well, with tufts 39 the rug, therefore, being` reversible. y
In describing vthe, invention, the term rug has been used, but it will, be understood, that the resulting product is a fabric which may be used for purposes other than Having thus described the invention, what 'isclaimediisz v In a process of the class described, which comprises .placlng crossed fibers on the fibers and thel strands at `their points of i crossing, and cutting the fibers between their ofv crossing to form tufts; that rchconsists in compressing the fibers member, and a cutting apart of the fibers with a knife operated in the shallow notch of vsaid member.
Intestimony that I claim the foregoing asy my"own',l lhave hereto affixed my signaturef in'z'ythefpresence of two witnesses.
