@HM/mm1 i Be lit l'known that able others skilled in the Iart UNITED mme lATENT OFFICE "RUG:
4To all whom it may concern? y y u l, vLamm yLouisa `JornasoN, a -citizen'of the United States, iresidmg g at jfPocojpson, `in the county of Chester, State `of Pennsylvania, :have invented anew and useful Rug; and I do hereby declare the following to 'be a full, clear, and exact descriptionl of the invention, such `as willy-en- `to Awhich it appertains to makefand use "the same.`
The present invention relates` to a f rag rug anda frame for "making the same, cand has for its object to providean attractive and inexpensive ragco'lnposedrug or iioor cover,- ing which can be made lwithout `the laborious work'fo'f sewing or stitching therags together.Vv A .f
- Further `objects of the 1nvent1on"areto provide al rag rug which can; .be readily manufactured Vfrom ordinary *rags Vand `scraps of fabric, `whichgi's the -sameon both sidesr and ncan be reversed, `an'dfvvhich lcan be easily made indifferent lengths and widths as maybe desired. 1 i
With these and other objetts finfview the invention consists in .certain Inovel combina-l tions and arrangementsof the parts as will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the novel features thereof being pointed out in the appended claims.
For a full understanding of the inven tion, reference vis to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of a partially completed rag rug and a frame which may be utilized in making the same.
Fig. 2 is a sectional View through the rug, taken on. the line 2&2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is aV sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, being taken on a plane at right angles to Fig. 2. e
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated inl all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.
In kcarrying out the` invention the rags are torn or cut into long strips, although these strips are not sewn together or secured by stitching. The laborious task of sewing the rags'together, together with the expense of providing the large amount of thread necessary for that purpose, is thus entirely avoided. The rags are first taken and several strands a thereof twisted together to form a comparatively large cord 1.

'The ends of successive strands `are not stitched together, but are permitted to overlap and lare twisted in with the other -strandsjso that acontinuou'sitwisted cord Vis provided. "It `will be understood that the `successive lengths of-rag elements a can be kseleetedfandarranged so that the strands will be pieced togetherat diiferent Apoints in u-tl 1e -length of the 5twistec'l cord, thereby providinga comparatively thick, rag composed Vfoundation from which toconstruct a rug. This twisted rag cord is formed lin a con- 'ti-nuous length ywhich is. successively ref turned, as indicated at-2,\so-that the twisted 4cord. lengths are arranged side byside and extend back and forth across lthe rug. Y'Blnder or warp 'strips 3-of untwistedmrag Ielements are woven back Aand forththrough the -twlsted r'ag c'o'rd lengthsy 1, thewtwisted Ilengths. 1 remaining substantially y'iiat and straight while the, untwisted 'rag strips 3 are woven `back `and forth around the same v toholdthem together. The bodyof the rag is thus composed of the twisting rag cords 1 and the untwisted 4rag strips 3 merely serve `to hold the twisted cord members 1 together.
' tions of the sections of the side pieces are held in an adjusted position by bolts 11, and the length of the frame can thus be increased or decreased, as desired. Adjustment is thus made for making a narrow rug or a wide rug, since the width of the rug is determined by the length of the frame. Each end of the frame is formed ywith spaced cross bars 12 and 14:, the outer cross bars 12 providing convenient handles for manipulating the frame, while the inner cross bars 14 are each provided with a series of notches adapted to receive the shanks of twisting hooks 15. These hooks are formed with collars 16 engaging the cross bars 14:, and also with handles 17 by means of which obvious that the hooks can be readily insert- Vcord which has sufficient tensile strengthto 'holdfthe parts' together, and which at the sameV time provides'` an excellent `body or ed in position within the lateral notches of the cross bars, or removed therefrom, as
may be desired. As the successive lengthsy the cord elements in the'rug to be givenV substantially vthe same degree of twisting.
l A rug of uniform texturev and thickness can thus be formed without diiculty. After the length ofY twisted rag cord has been given Vthe finishing touches, the end thereoff is looped around the particular twisting hook and the length of the cord element increased by twisting successive rag elements into'the same until another cord element has been completed, when the operation is re eated vat the opposite end of the frame. s the successive cord elements are completed, the untwisteol binder orwrap strips 3 of ragV Yelements are woven back and forth through vthel completed cord elements, the lengths of the binder strips 3 being increased by tying or securing additional rag elements thereto,
,as maybe necessary. The frame may have a` comparatively narrow width, since the twisting hooks can be shifted in the notches of the cross bars 14 and the frame advanced fas the weaving of the rug proceeds. The` width of the rug is thus determined by the adjustment of the two frame members, while the length of the rug depends upona number of twisted rag kelements l which are formed and woven into the rug. The comy pleted rug isreversible, different colors may 1 e worked into the same to providek an attractive `design or color scheme, vand all stitchingor sewing of the rags is avoided.
Having thus described the invention,V
what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A frame for-weaving rag rugs includ-V `1ng end bars eachof which has a series of notches therein, and twisting hooks/iitted removably inthe notches, `said Atwisting hooks being interchangeable andV formed Vwithvhandles for rotating the sameso that Vthey can beused 'to twist `successive 'lengths lof twisted rag cords.
A frame for weaving rag rugs including side pieces formed in' overlappi @and adjustably connected sections, said 'rame being also formed with opposed endv bars formed with corresponding lateral notches strands ofragl'cord elements. Y
