US Patent No. 47, granted October 11, 1836 to Conrad Kile of Philadelphia, for an improved loom for weaving cloth for stocks (neckwear stiffeners). The specification describes a concave breast beam cut straight and hollowed on the lathe side so a straight lathe and reed can be used, plus weighted cloth and yarn beams with ratchet and pawl. Three claims cover the breast beam, the related changes to other parts, and use of the loom for bias-shaped articles such as stock stiffeners, jackets and corsets. The first page is the patent drawing with side, front and top views.
