DESIGN FOR A CARPET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 12,447, dated August 30, 1881. Application filed July 2!), 1881. Term oi'patont 3; years.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN NEIL, of New York city, county and State of New York, have invented a new and original Design for Carpets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a new and original design for carpets and similar fabrics, and it consists in the novel grouping and configurationot'figures hereinafter more fully descri bed.

The accompanying photograph illustrates a face view of a carpet having my new design.

The most prominent figures of this design are marked A and B on the photograph, and are placed one below the other, being separated by a diagonal stripe, I, which, at its lower portion, is bent at a right angle, so as to partly form the border for a hexagonal fig ure, D. At thejunction of the figure D with the band I is the lower terminus of a curved stripe, g, which forms the lower outline of the figure A and reaches to another curved bortier, 0. that extends up to a rectangular figure, 'r. This figure r forms-the upper outline for the figure A, and when the carpet is matched reaches to the upper border, G, of the figure B, as indicated at the left-hand side of the photograph. The curved borderj, having an angular portion, 6, completes the outline for the figure A, excepting the small portion which, between the stripej and the stripe I, is formed by a rectangular figure, J.

The outline for the figure B is formed by the border G, already referred to, the border I, and the hexagonal figure D, as shown at its upper part. At its right-hand side is an L- shaped border, at, which completes the outline at the right and at part of the bottom, and which abuts against a curved stripe, w. This in turn meets an angular figure, L, which completes the border or outline of the figure B, extending from the stripe w to the border G, as shown. The figures and borders already referred to complete nearly the entire design, leaviug only room for two more hexagons, which are marked 0 and E in the photograph. The hexagon G abuts against the hexagon D, and is between D and E, as will clearly appear by comparing the portion of the hexagon G which is shown at the right-hand side of the photograph, near the hexagon. D, with the portions at the left-hand side of the photograph which are near the hexagon E there shown.

The several figures and the borders above described are ornamented in appropriate manner with flowers and geometrical designs. The main background of the figure A is chiefly ornamented by a fanciful floral group, (marked ct, b, a, and s.) The part b of this group is a nearly-circular rosette located in part on the stripe g, and apparently forms the support for the larger circular rosette a, from which bursts forth the flower c with its manifold richlyalecorated stems, buds, and conventional leaves. From the figure a project likewise flowers s, of which one extends to the borderj, the other to the border q, as shown. There are other leaves most prominent at the junction of the circular figure a and which assist in complcting the rich ornamentation of the figure A.

The figure B has on its background a decoration in many respects resembling that of the figure A. This ornamentation is shown at H in the drawing, and consists also of two circles, the smaller one supporting a larger one, from which bursts forth a prominent flower, that reaches across the curved border G nearly into the triangular figure d, that is formed between the figure r and the border G. Further, branches of flowers and buds extend from the figure H in all directions.

The hexagon D is ornamented by anarrow surrounding border, and within the same contains pyramidal groups,one above thcother, as indicated. From this hexagon D project three prominent branches, 1;, into the adjoining hexagon O, and each of these branches beers within the hexagon G a rosette-like flower, it, there being thus three such rosettes within the figure 0, the central one extending into contact with the figure E, andjoining within the same with the ornamental rosette h, that is contained within the figure E. The space between the figures O and E and the stripeJ contains a floral decoration, 'u, as shown. The stripe j, which partly surrounds the figure A, is double, having an outer border with vinelike ornamentation, and an inner border with small rosettes for its decoration. The figure r contains an ornamentation of cross-like figures that are joined by diagonal stems, as shown. The stripe g has an inner geometrical pattern and an outer border, 1 which is dotted and contains rosettes, as shown.

The figure L is decorated with an undulating border and with geometrical designs, mostly triangular, on straightstems Within the undulations. The border I is also decorated with geometrical designs, as indicated, and the border (1 has a series of rosettes set on a spotted or dotted background.

The border G of the figure B is made of two stripes, (marked, 1"es ectively, f and y.) The outer stripe,f, has triangular ornaments, the inner, 3/, peculiar curvilinear ornaments resembling the claws of crabs set in line.

The figure J is decorated between its upper and lower borders with ornamentation of alternate small rosettes and larger H-shaped figures. The figure J has a border, 90, which separates it from the figure r. This border .19 is likewise most prominently decorated with geometrical designs. The stripe at contains appropriate ornamentation, and the stripe 20 has placed within it series ot'clover-like leaves, which arejoined by stems and tendrils.

I claim- 1. The design for carpets, consisting of the figures A, B, and I, substai'itially as shown.

2. The design for carpets, consisting of thc figure D, substantially as shown.

3. The design for carpets, consisting of the figure U, substantially as shown.

4. The design for carpets, consisting of the figure E, substantially as shown.

5. The design for carpets, consisting of the figures D, C, and E, substantially as shown.

6. The design for carpets, consisting of the figures a, I), c, and s, substantially as shown.

7. The design for carpets, consisting of the figures B, H, and G, substantially as shown.

8. The design for carpets, consisting of the figures A, B, C, D, E, G, l, J, L, a, b, c, s, g, t, q,j, c, h, t, p, w,f, and 10.
