{ 
MR. JOSEPH. BOWYER’S (KIDDERMIN- 
STER), for a Methcd of working or ma- 
nufacturi ing of Carpeting. 
This invention consists in the -w orking 
and manufacturing carpetting for carpets 
with a floating ground upon a new prin- 
ciple, and in making it a more firm and 
durable article, differing very much both 
in quality and elegance from Brussels 
and pile carpeting. The eround-work is a 
firm and even body, which’ cannot be 
roved or pulled out by brushing and 
cleaning, or by the scratching of a dog or 
cat, or any other animal, as Brussels may. 
The pattern or figure is raised above the 
eppun d-work, and appears as needle- 
vork, although wove in the same kind of 
Joom or machine, and raised by wires the 
same as Br ussels or pile carpeting is; it 
may be,made both comber and point, 
and the whole is performed in the follow- 
ing jm: mye sr :— The pattern to be drawn 
‘with a plain or figured eround: the figures 
on the ground may consist of an num- 
ber to work under each other; > any 
other number of colours may be nk to 
work across the pattern as in Brussels or 
pile carpets, and red in and put into the 
foom, the same as Brussels or pile now 
in use, the ground excepted, which is net 
to bered in, or pitched up by the ree- 
dez-in, as the draw-boy or person usually 
employed 1 10 making of carpets need not 
draw or raise any part of the ground- 
work, unless the weaver wishes it to be 
done, for the puree of making 1t more 
_easy to himself. A chain, or warp, is to 
be prepared to.make a floating ground, 
which is to consist of double the number 
of threads now used in one ground frame 
for making of carpets, or the number of 
threads may be more or less, as may be 
thought proper. The chain so prepared 
is to be turned ona roll or beam, and 
worked under the frames, or any other 
part of the loom, as may by the weaver 
. be thought best; or it may be worked in 
one Or more I frames with bobbin and ball, 
and bobbm and anchor, or by any other 
means that may answer the same put- 
pose. The un der or binding part to con- 
sist of fax or hempen thread, or any other

like articie that may answer the same 
purpose. ‘The little harness to make this 
work to consist of five or more shafts: if 
worked with five, to be drawn in manner 
following, that is to say; two to work 
the linen or binding part of the ground, 
and one to work the colours that form 
the figure or flowers, or the one which in 
making the Brussels carpeting is called 
the pole shaft. The above may be 
worked with four ersixtreadles. If the 
weaver chooses to raise the floating part 
of the ground by his feet, he must have 
six treadles, or he may cause his draw- 
boy, or employ a person or machine for 
that purpose, to raise it for him. In that 
case four treadles will be sufficient, work- 
ed ascommon Brussels are., But if the 
“weaver raises the floating-ground bimseif, 
to be worked in the following manner :— 
In the first place, the draw-boy or per 
son employed for the purpose of raising 
the colours for forming the pattern, 
draws a lash, and turns up the sword; 
the weaver at the same time treads the 
outside treadle on one side, which raises 
one part of the floating ground, and 
throws in a sheot of worsted, woollen, silk, 
cotton, or any other like material that 
will produce the same eifect. He then 
takes lis toot off the outside treadle, the 
sword remaining up, puts im a wire- 
rod, or any kind of instrument capable of - 
raising a pile either for cut or drawn, 
The sword is then taken out. He then 
treads the secontl treadle, which raises 
the same part of the floating ground with 
one of the binding shafts, throws a bind- 
ing shoot of linen, or any other like ar- 
ticle that may be_ thought best for that 
purpose. fle then treads the third trea- 
dle that treads down the binding shaft 
only, which was raised by the last trea- 
dle, (or any other kind if he thinks pro- 
per,) which is the binder for that wire. 
He then proceeds, the draw-boy draws a 
fresh lash, he treads the outside treadle 
on the other side, and raises the other 
part of the floating ground, which was 
not raised before, and binds it with the 
two next following treadles in manner aa 
is above described. ;

culated for private faimiles, and for inns

taken with ease ta any part-of the house 
and yet possesses great power to press
