US Patent No. 2,486, granted March 12, 1842, to Clinton Grey Gilroy of Great Britain (assignor to Jeremiah Wilbur) for a power loom for weaving figured and other fabrics. The specification describes take-up rollers and cloth roller tension, a warp-beam friction brake with a weighted lever, a "weft puller" used with an eccentric-driven Jacquard, card protectors on the Jacquard cylinder, a shuttle with a brush and tension wire, a picker-staff regulating iron, and a weft-break stop motion. It ends with eight claims and includes two sheets of patent drawings.
