SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 524,321, datedvAugust 14, 1894.

Application iiled February 26,1892. Serial No. 422,836. (Specimens.)

` citizen of the United states, residing an Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Woven Fabrics, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact de scription, reference beingl had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification. i

The specific object of my invention is to produce a substitute for cut-pile fabrics, and by my improvement cause the chenille weft to remain on the face on which it appears and be prevented from mingling with the chenille on the other face.

In carrying out my invention, I use ka chenille weft for the threads of both faces, and between'the threads of the faces, a weft of some other material, and, in weaving this fabric, change the chenille weft from one face to the other the center or stuffer weft remaining always in the center, or between the plies, andthe warps which bind the face Wefts pass around the center weft,the center or stuffer weft thus acting to hold the chenille weft of one face on that face, and prevents it 'from mingling with the chenille on the other face.

' In the drawings:-Figure 1 is an exaggerated section across the wefts, of a fabric ,embodying my invention, and showing the independent warp for binding the wefts of the central plane of wefts. Fig. 2 is a like `view of the fabric shown in Fig. 1 but taken across the warps; and Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. l, the independent binding Warps shown in Fig. l being omitted, and the ordinary warps being dierently disposed with relation to the three planes of wefts.

In the fabric shown in the drawings, the

chenille wefts are represented byA and B and the stuffer or center weft by C, A being a red chenillev weft, and B a white chen-ille weft. In the figures, two changes are shown, in one place the red chenille being on the face and white chenille B on the back, and at another place the white chenille weft B on the face and red chenille A on the back.

a and hare the Warps which bind the chenille firmly to the stuer weft. As maybe seen, the warp of one face passesrespectively over the chenille weft on that face and white, by changing the wefts from one face to the other, patterns will be produced upon both faces at the same time, one weft forniing the ground of the pattern, and the other weft forming the iigure."

In the fabric shown herein, the pattern would have a ground of one color and a figure of another color; but'it will be evident that there maybe two or more colors on either ground or figure by using two or more chenille wefts in the ground or ligure wefts and introducing these wefts successively, as in ordinary weaving; or either or both` chenille wefts may be composed of many didere'nt colors.

By my construction of fabric, I am enabled to obtain a substitute for a cut-pile fabric in an economical and satisfactory manner, and by theuse of the center or st uffer weft, bound as described, the chenille weft of both 'faces are held rmly and said weft caused to stand land kept in the face .where itis thrown and from mingling with chenille on the otherface. If desired, I can use warp in addition to the face warps to bind the center or staffer weft, so as to hold said weft more firmly and enable it to perform its` functions to better advantage, Thesewarps are shown, in Fig.

1, at c c.

Having now fully described my invention, I

what I claim, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-

l. VA fabric composed of Warp threads and chenille figuring wefts in two planes and a stuffer weft between the twovchenille weft planes, the warp threads passing from the two sides of the fabric inan opposite direcy tion to and around said Studer weft.

2. A fabric composed 'of warp threads and chenille Wefts in two planes, and a center or dependent warp passing around the staffer stuffer weft of different material.

3. A fabric composed of Warp threads and chenille figuring Wefts in two planes, and a staffer weft between the two chenille weft.

planes, Jthe warp threads passing from the two sides of the fabric in an opposite direction to and around said stuffer-Weft, and inweft. to

In testimony of which invention I have hereunto set my hand.
