'45 Barmerstrne, Laiigi-itcltl, near Barmen,

Prussia, German Empire, have invented a new and useful Machine for lroducin'; Braided or Plaited Litec, of which the folowinfis s specitication.

Th a invcn ioli relates toan apparatus for reducing by mechanical moana lare luwng ornamental deal snpertleially applied thereto. Hithcrto t ic sind ornamento ydcaign has been made of distinct warp-like threads which forni a aeparate structure independent from main lace work and arc generally led into the plaitia Iield hy causing them to pala through lio uw ata s o'r like bers which usually connect t ie known ing lower plates or other like pai-ts of the machine frame. 'lhese slide plates being l duplicated and servia with the aid of coua a y.,

ysnicnt secondary lem ing and awitohin `devices, to guide a double system of hu hin-4 by forming sllde.-'|iatlia toi the lower apmdle extremities of auch bobbins, the mimi lace work via alternately made on the external or internal of the two known concentric ,alidc` plates by means of thereapectivc two ayaama of plaitin appliances, so that the aaid` a ppca r warpthreads may correspondingl't.

In such pliqu lace, ait genera ly detlned by the fore-y going statement is yet a very imperfect one ainl very limited, in conneoaenee of the nceesaa straight course of the warp thi-cada in 'respect to the characteriof the appliqu figures, and to obtain a eimer imita-tion o v real a'ppliqu lace'by mechanical means it haa been proposed to usc n combination of two lace machines connected bv intermediate ,racewaya for intertwining the bobhins of the two machines. This known principle ls the. hasis of my present invention hy which l am ahla t o produce mechanically a mont faithful u'uitatiou of manually .made applnui plait work, inasmuch as l'um also ena ltd to produce, on the plaiting rinciple, the, appliqu ornamcntations o Amy new ,nnprovet 'lace which is thus made sus ccptiblc of ii great alid almost indeiini.: variety `of li uw or designs, the intermittent uttachmcn of the hitter to the main or ground lace work heing likcwiae mechanic.

Thus the warp threads used in ma ing appliqu larel of the explained known structure and which are so to speak, lpiitc inactive nre re placed hy threads which are active since tho plait hohbina carrying theaame are moved as may be nccensiiryfor introducing into the f icld, in accordance with the profed i'cmgn they applique threads. either by ein 'interlaced' one with the other or hf; inter acement with the threads forming the main lace work, and for this urpooe the -aaid pluiting hobhins are guide( within thc new rature in the pres-'ent invention, that v rangements in the b ohhin guiding. disengog-- ing and reiingaging device being provided hy meaiw of which, in certain intervals, the
