US Patent No. 1,176,823, granted March 28, 1916 to Benjamin Elsaser of Boonville, New York, for a hand loom for household rug and rag carpet weaving. It describes a combination reed and harness with a vertically adjustable reed frame that holds two sets of warp threads, so the shed is formed without a separate harness mechanism. The warp and cloth beams are linked by spring-tensioned flexible connections on stepped pulleys. The text gives the specification and three claims; two sheets of drawings show the loom in side, plan, front and section views, with diagrams of the three reed positions.
