German imperial patent no. 350034 for a shedding device for hand-weaving apparatus, filed by Gertrud Witte of Bern, Switzerland. It describes open-topped combs with alternating short and long slots that guide the warp threads, with many combs mounted on a rotating drum or above an endless cam band so that different weave bindings (plain weave, 4- and 5-end twill) can be brought into working position quickly. The text covers comb variants, a three-part adjustable comb for varying warp spacing, lever and bracket operation, and suitable comb materials. The patent claims and one sheet of drawings (Abb. 1-9) are included.
