WOVEN FABRIC.

Application filed October 20, 1906.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 8, 1908.

Serial No. 339,742.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, I-Iovonr SARAFIAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Yonkers, in the county of \Vestchester and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Voven Fabric, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to woven fabrics such as shown and described in Letters Patent of the United States, No. 820,825, granted to me May 15, 1906.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved woven fabric, which is soft in tread, and provided with an exceedingly strong yet flexible back, thus rendering the fabric very serviceable for use as a carpet, rug or the like.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, which will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying draw- .ings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the views.

Figure 1 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional elevation of the improvement, and Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

The woven fabric illustrated in the drawings consists essentially of a face weave A, a reinforcing or back weave B and a reinforcing filling warp C. The face weave A is a multi-ply weave, preferably of the ingrain type; for instance, as shown in the drawings, it is composed of sets of warps each set consisting of say four differently colored warp threads D, D D and D, and sets of wefts, each set containing the differently colored wefts E and E, interwoven with the said 'arps D, D D and D. The wefts E and E cross each other in an up and down direction, and each weft spans a plurality of adjacent warps between successive crossings, as plainly indicated in Fig. 2.

Each of the warps D, D D and D is first interwoven with aplurality of adjacent upper or lower wefts and then with a plurality of lower or upper wefts; for instance, as shown in Fig. 1, the Warp D starting from the left to the right is first interwoven with three adjacent weft-s E then rises and is interwoven with three upper wefts E and then pas es down and is interwoven with the three lower wefts E, and so on throughout the length of the fabric, it being understood that the warps D, D, I) and D pass to the face of the fabric by the action of the jacquard as often as required, according to a predetermined pattern, the corresponding weft immediately below such face warp being of the same color as this face warp.

3y the arrangement described a simple and durable face weave A is produced, the component members of which are preferably of a good quality of woolen or cotton yarns.

The reinforcing bottom weave 3 consists of sets of warps F and F and filling wefts G made of jute or other material. The warps F and F are interwoven with the filling wefts G and with the lowermost wefts E of the face fabric A, so as to attach the reinforced bottom weave I) to the back of the face weave A. By reference to Fig. 1. it will be seen that the filling wefts G are the same in number as the wefts E and E of the face weave A, and the said wefts E, E and G a re arranged in vertical alincment, as plainly indicated in Fig. 1.

The reinforcing filling warp C is interposed between the bottom wefts E of the face weave A, and the filling wefts G of the bottom weave l), and hence neither the warps F and F nor the filling wefts G and the filling warps C are visible on the face of the fabric, so that the design or pattern thereof is not marred in the least by the reinforcing bottom weave B and the reinforcing warp C.

The fabric described is exceedingly soft in the tread and at the same time is provided with an exceedingly strong yet [lcxible back, thus rendering the fabric very serviceable for use as a carpet, rug or the like.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent A woven pile fabric comprising a multiply face weave, a reinforcing bottom weave and a reinforcing filling warp, the said 1nultiply face weave having sets of wefts arranged one above the other. and warps each alternately interwoven with a plurality of the wefts of each of the said sets of wefts, the said face wefts crossing each other in an up and down dircctiol'i, and each weft spanllO ning a plurality of adjacent warps between successive crossings, the said bottom weave having wefts arranged below and in vertical alinement with the said sets of weft of the face weave, and binding warps each interwoven with the said bottom wefts and the lowermost wefts of the said sets of wefts of the face weave and the said reinforcing fil1- ing warp being interposed between the said bottom wefts and the said lowermost wefts 10 of the said sets of wefts of the face weave.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of 1 two subscribing witnesses.
