WOVEN'PILE FABRIC.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters'Patent No. 747,588, dated December 22, 1903.

Application filed June 22, 1903,, Serial No. 162,539. (llo model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES BUOKLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the. county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Woven Pile Fabrics, of which the following is a specification. My invention relates to woven pile fabric and to that class of pile fabrics woven on'loo ms of the description shown and described in my application for United States Letters Patent filed Apt-i127, 1903, Serial No. 154,445, in which the pile-warp loops are formed over pile-wires extending in the direction of the length of the fabric, the pile-warps being carried transversely over the pile-wires first in one direction and then in the other and bound into the fabric by the filling-threads in the well-known way."

In-my improved pile fabric the pile-warps do not extendthrough the fabric to appear on the under side of the fabric, but only extend in the upper plane of the fabric. In each shed there are two filling-threads,one for each loop, extending in the same horizontal plane above the stutter-warp, or the pile-warps carried straight in the body of the fabric when two or moreframes are used, and two fillingthreads below the stuffer or pile warps, making four filling-threads in each shed'and two loops of cut pile-warps.

I have shown in the drawings, on a much enlarged and exaggerated scale, a longitudinal section of my pile fabric in its simplest form, comprising filling or weft threads arranged in two planes, two binder-warps, a stulfer-warp, and a pile-warp-that is, a oneframe carpet.

pile-'wirel first in one direction and then in the other, as is customary, to form the loops of pile upon the upper plane of the fabric. The loops may be uncut, as shown in Fig. 1, for Brussels carpet fabrics, or cut, as shown in Fig. 2, for Wilton, Axminster, or moquette carpet fabrics. I

The pile-warp 2 is bound into the upper plane of the fabric by a filling-thread 3, which extends transversely through the fabric over the pile-warp 2, as shown.

The staffer-warp 4. extends longitudinally through the fabric in the central portion thereof below. the pile-warp 2 and the upper filling-threads 3.

The filling threads 5 extend below the stufier-warp 4. p v

The binder-warps 6 and 7 are raised and lowered alternately to form the sheds for the upper filling-threads 3 and the lower fillingthread 5 and act to bind said filling-threads,

In each shed there are two upper fillingthreads'3 for two loops of pile-warp and two lower filling-threads 5 below the stulfer-warp 4, as shown.

The pile-warp 2 does not extend down into the lower plane of the fabric, and the two lower filling-threads 5 in each shed prevent the pile-warp from appearing on the under side or back of the fabric, as is customary, so that in my fabric the back is perfectly uniform.

It will be understood that the details of the weave of myimproved fabric may be varied, if desired, and any preferred number of frames maybe used in weaving my fabric without changing the construction of the fab ric above described, the additional pile-warps being disposed of in any usual or preferred manner.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A pile fabric, having an upper and lower filling or weft plane, and comprising binder warp-threads, a stulfer, two filling-threads in, the upper plane, and two filling-threads in the lower plane of the fabric, in each shed, pile-warps in the upper plane of the fabric, passing about each of the filling-threads of the upper plane and projecting from one face of the fabric between each of the adjacent KOO lln'eedsin the upper plane of the fabric, su m sta'ntia-lly aesh'ew'n and described.

55. A pliefabri'e, having-an upper and lower 5 filling; mwefh plane, and coniprjsinghiuder arpemlgrea'de, a staffer, fillina thifeads in we Tapper wane; anti filling-threads inv the lowex' pleue'ef the fabric, pile-warps in the-upper plane ei the fabpic passing about and bound I: by ealehof'the filling-threads and prejeming from aneface of the fabric between each of the adjacent, filling-threads, and bound only by the filli'ngthreads ill the upper plane of the fabric, with two fillingdhreads 'inmhe upper plane of the fabrie, and two filling-threads in the ln wer plane of the fabric below the pilew-m-ps, in. each shed' formation, substantially as shown and described.
