WOVEN FABRIC.

scription.

My invention relates to the improved construction of a fabric hereinafter clearly shown and described; and it consists in combining in a fabric an inlay-thread with certain warp and weft threads and iigurecords, all securely looked, as hereinafter more fully described.

The object of my invention is to construct a fabric the faces of which are formed by ornamental or other cord, which is securely locked in place by warp and weftthreads, one side of which may be one color and quality while the opposite side may be of another color and quality.

' My invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a diagrammatical enlarged face View of the fabric.

Fig. 2 is a similar bottom or reverse view of said fabric.

Fig. 3 is a similar cross-section on the line 3 3, Fig. 1. F1g.41s a similar longitudinal section on the line 4 4, Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a cross-section of part of a loom on which the fabric can be produced.

9' 7' represent the ornamental or other cords which form the faces of the fabric.

a b are the main warp-threads,which interlock in the manner hereinafterdescribed and hold the cords jj into the fabric.

0 is an intermediate warp-thread, which passes between the cords jj and serves to make the fabric even.

third cord j, and so on.

The lower warp- SerialNo.393,806. ($pecimens-l thread 19 goes around the lower cord 3' up around the thread 3, down around the next cord j and so on. The warp-thread c is above so the weft-threads 33, as shown. B y this method it will be seen that a fabric having its opposite sides differently colored may be readily made by having one cord jof one desired color and quality and the other cord 3' of another desired color and quality. In the finished fabric the embedded warp-threads ab and the threads .9 and c are practically invisible. The warp-threads a are agitated sidewise from one side to the other to give them a zigzag form in the fabric and place them alternately to the right and left of the warp O, as shown in Fig. 1, producing therebya higher tension and a securerlock, the needle-heddle that carries the warp a entering, for example, on op- 6 5 posite sides of the thread 0, as in Fig. 1. The warp-threads b may be agitated in like manner.

One mechanism by which I construct this fabric is shown and described in the application bearing SerialNo. 393,383, filed by me on the 20th day of May, 1891. Fig. 5 gives one view of said mechanism, showing atA the batten, at B the shuttle, at O the heddle for the warp a, at D the heddle for the warp b, at E the guide for the warp-thread c, at F and G the carriers forthe cordsjj respectively, and at H a beam around which the finished fabric passes.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is A fabric consisting of two main warpthreads 0, b, an intermediate warp-thread c, face-cords jj and the weft-thread s, the warp abeing placed under the weft-threadson op- 8 5 posite sides of the warp c alternately and being laid over the cords j and under the weft s, the warp b passing over the weft s and under the cords j all substantially as and for the purpose specified.
