WOVEN FABRIC.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 372,343, dated November 1, 1887.

Application filed April 1, 1886. Serial No. 197,476.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM TALBOT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Woven Fabrics, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to produce a cheap, strong, and durable carpet or other fabric; and said improvement consists in the combination of two warps, one a staffer, and two wefts, one finer than the other, two coarse wefts being employed to one fine weft, all as will be hereinafter described, referring to the r 5 annexed drawings, making a part of this spccification, in which- Figures 1 and 2 are longitudinal sections showing the collocation of the warp and weft threads. Fig. 3 is a faceor top view of Fig. 1. The drawings are not intended to represent the warp and weft threads as of the proper size, or as driven up in a finished fabric, but are intended to aid those skilled in the art of weaving in defining the character of the fabric and the preferred manner of making the same.

My improvement is especially applicable to aclass of fabrics known to the trade as damask or Venetian carpets, wherein the figure or figures of the carpet are principally made by the warp-threads, the latter showing on both sides and the weft-threads showingbut little.

Similar letters in the drawings refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

5 A and B represent the figuring warp-threads;

O, the stuffer warp-threads. The threads A and B should be two or three ply, as is usual in damask carpets, and the stuffer single ply or double and twisted. The threads A and B are wound on one beam and the threads 0 on another. The threads A and B are manipulated by a Jacquard machine to produce the figure,

' and the threads 0 by one heddle-frame.

D D are the stuffer-wefts, and S S are the 5 binder-wefts.

(No specimens.)

To operate these wefts it requires a loom with two shuttle-boxes on each end of thelay, and so constructed tooperate pick and pick.

The threads A and B are usually of a different color, and two of these threads and one stuffer-thread are put into each split of the reed.

It will benoticed in the drawings that there are two shots of the weft D to one of weft S. The weft S serves to bind the face and back of the fabric together. When the figuring-threads A or B are taken from the face to back, or back to face, the stuffer-thread- 0 serves as a binder, as shown at G, Figs. 1 and 2.

In Figs. 1 and 3the stuffer-threadO is shown on top of the binder-wefts S S. \Vhen so woven all through the fabric, there will be a right and wrong side to' the fabric, the top of that shown in Figs. 1 and 2 being the right side. A and B and weft D will when beaten up in the loom be close together, showing only the figuring-warps A or B and little of the weft D. If it is desired to make both sides of the fabric alike, the stuffer-warp C will be mounted 7c in two heddleframes, every other stuffer in a different frame, and by this means one stuifer will be placed on top of the binding-wefts S and the next under the weft S, as, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and both sides of the fabric will 7 bealike, except in color, which may also be the same if all the threads are of the same color. 1

I claim- In a woven fabric, the combination of figur- So ing-warps A and B, stuffenwarp G, and two stuEfer-wefts, D D, to each one binder-weft, S, as shown, described, and for the purpose specified.

W. TALBOT.
