WOVEN RUG.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 640,132, dated December 26, 1899. Application filed October 7, 1898. Serial No. 692,918. (No specimens.)
To tZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known thatV I, HARRY HARDWIGK, a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania., have invented certain Improvements in Woven Rugs and Like Fabrics, of Which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to the manufacture of rugs, table-covers, curtains, and like articles comprising a centerpiece with border, the object of my invention being to so weave the pieces of which such articles are made as to obtain the desired contrast of centerpiece and border Without that waste of yarn in the centerpiece which results from the present method of Weaving. This object I attain in the manner hereinafter set forth, `reference Y being had to the accompanying drawings, in
Which- Figure l represents a rug made in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating the ordinary method of making such rugs. Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are similar views illustrating my improved method of making the rug, and Fig. 9 is an enlarged vieuT of part of one of the strips of which the rug is composed.
The rug shown in Fig. l comprises a centerpiece l of simple pattern and coloring, and a border 2 of much more elaborate character both as regards pattern and coloring.
If the rug is composed of pile fabric, one or two colors of pile-forming Warp may be sufficient for the centerpiece, but a much greater number are necessary for the border, as many as eight or more different colors in the border being sometimes required. An ordinary rug of this character is composed of longitudinal side strips 3, having a border-pattern Woven thereon, and intermediate strips 4, each of Which has a central portion 5, woven with the desired pattern for the centerpiece of the rug, and end portions 6, woven with a border-pattern, so that when the selvage edges of the strips are seWed together a rug having the desired centerpiece and border Will be produced. The objection to this method of Weaving is the Waste of pile-warps involved in Weaving the strips 4, each of said strips having sets of pile-Warp each containing as many diiferent threads as are necessary for the elaborate pattern and coloring of the border; but as most of these Warps are unused in the central portion of the strip they are buried out of sight at the back of the fabric, thus causing a high percentage of waste of expensive yarn.
In carrying out my invention therefore I discard the usual plan of Weaving a borderpattern at each end of each ofthe center strips 4, and instead Weave center strips 4f,each having a center pattern throughout, and use four border-strips-that is to say, tWo longitudinal border-strips 3a and two transverse borderstrips 6a, the latter being either of a length equal to the full width of the rug, as shown in Fig. 4, or of a length only7 sufficient to fit between the longitudinal borders-strips, as in Fig. 3. When the transverse strips 6 are of the full width of the rug, they are Woven at p the ends with the pattern for the corner-pieces 7 of the border, and when the longitudinal strips are of the full length of the rug they are Woven with the corner-piece patterns 7 at the ends. By this means the center strips 4 need only have as many pile-forming warps as are necessary for the simple pattern and coloring of the centerpiece of the rug, the greater number of Warps necessary for the more elaborate pattern and coloring of the bordering being confined wholly to the border-strips, so that there is no waste of the yarn, as in the ordinary method of weaving. When this method of Weaving is adopted, the Warps in the transverse border-strips will run at a right angle to those in the longitudinal borderstrips. Hence in sewing the strips together to form the rug the inner selvage edges of the transverse border-strips will have to be united to the warp ends of the longitudinal strips if the rug is made as shown in Fig. 4, While if the rug is made as shown in Fig. 3 selvages of the transverse strips 6a Will be united to Warp ends of the central strips 4, and the Warp ends of said transverse strips tn will be united to selvages of the longitudinal strips 3a, and in order to facilitate this union the 9 Warp ends at each end of each of the Woven strips-are preferably interwoven with Wefts, so as to form a short heading 8, as shown in Fig. 9, whereby the proper joining together of the strips can be more readily effected.
IOO
Another method of carrying out my invention is that represented in Fig. 5. In this case instead of Weaving corner-patterns at the opposite ends of two border-strips, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4:, each border-strip has a corner-pattern at one end and overlaps at one corner of the rug the border-strip Which is at right angles thereto, and still another method of carrying out my invention is that represented in Fig. 6, in which case the corner-patterns are Woven in separate pieces 7 a, the inner edges of which are united to the ends of the border-strips in making up the rug.
In Weaving an ingrain fabric in accordance with my invention the center of the ru g may, as shown in Fig. 7, be Woven in one piece, as at 4b, instead of in strips and may have borderstrips Woven at each end of the same, as shown at 6", this being permissible Without Waste in the case of an ingraiu fabric, because in such fabric the pattern is formed by the weftthreads instead of by the Warps. In this case, however, the longitudinal border-strips Sb'will preferably be Woven with the Wefts running in a direction at right angles to those in the central strip 4b, so that the pattern in the strips 3b will be produced under the saine conditions and with the same facility as in Weaving the end borders 6l. It will be evident that in a fabric of this character, as Well as in a pile fabric, the border portions can be Woven With three or more patterning-threads in a setvhile the center portion can be'woven with one or two threads in a set, thus saving Waste of threads which must otherwise be hidden and useless.
In Weaving pile fabrics also the longitudinall borders 3 may be Woven in one piece with the centerpiece 4c, as shown in Fig. 8, Where the loom is Wide enough to permit it, a greater number of pile-wraps being used in the borders than in the center and the transverse borders 6c being separately woven.
The term edges of the rug as used in the claims means simply the sides or ends of the rug, the term edges being employed in order to avoid the use of alternative language in the claims.
Pattern-forming threads as used in this specification is a generic term, meaning in the case of a pile fabric the pile-Warps and in the case of an ingrain fabric the Wefts.
It will be manifest that the main object of my invention would be attained even if the centelpiece of the rug had throughout alimited portion of its extent as many patternforming threads as the borders-for instance, it might have a central medallion or other figure in which the larger number of threads would be used, but throughout the greater portion of its extent would only have one, two, or three pattern-forming threads, and such construction is therefore considered within the scope of my claims.
Each of the different constructions which I have described is distinct from that class of made-up rugs or carpets in which a centerL piece composed of ordinary strips of carpeting is combined with a border composed of bordering-strips joined by a miter-joint at the corners of the carpet or rug, for although in the latter case the longitudinal border-strips have pattern-forming threads running at a right an gle to those in the transverse borderstrips there are no corner-patterns and no attempt at a harmonious pattern extending throughout the border is possible,the patterns of the border-strips being out across diagonally and abutting against each other at the miter-joints in the corners, Whereas in all forms of myimproved rug the seams are parallel with the edges of the rug. Hence designed corner-pieces are provided for and a complete border with harmonious pattern results.
Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A woven rug or the like having a centerpiece and border-strips united byseams parallel throughout with the edges of the rug, the centerpiece having a less number of patternforming threads than the border-strips, substantially as specified.
2. A woven rug or the like having a centerpiece and border-strips united by seams parallel throughout with the edges of the rug, the centerpiece having a less number of patternforming threads than the border-strips, and the pattern-forming threads in the longitudinal portions of the border being at right angles to those in the transverse portions of the same, substantially as specified.
3. A Woven rug or the like having a centerpiece and border-strips united by seams par'- allel throughout with the edges of the rug, the centerpiece having a less number of patternforming threads than the border-strips, the pattern-forming threads {in the longitudinal portions of the border being at right angles to those in the transverse portions of the same, and -the border having at the corners, patterns distinct from those in the remaining portions of the border, substantially as specified.
4. A woven rug or the like having a centerpiece and border-strips united by seams parallel throughout With the edges of the rug, the centerpiece having a less number of patternforming threads than the border-strips, the pattern-forming threads in the longitudinal portions of the border being at right angles to those in the transverse portions of the same, and the border-strips having corner-pieces Woven at the ends of the same, substantially as specified.
5. A Woven rug or the like having a centerpiece and independ ent longitudinal and transverse border-strips united by seams parallel throughout with the edges of the rug, the centerpiece having a less number of patternforming threads than the border-strips, and the pattern-forming threads in the longitudi- IZO nal border-strips being atright angles to those In testimony whereof I have signed my in the transverse border-strips, substantially name to this specification in the presence of Io as specified. two subscribing Witnesses. 6.
