US Patent No. 6,806, granted October 23, 1849 to Erastus B. Bigelow of Clintonville, Massachusetts, for improvements in the power loom for weaving carpets and other figured fabrics with a Jacquard. It has seven sheets of drawings and a specification describing a Jacquard frame with its own shafts, driven from the loom and adjustable in height to suit the harness cords. It also covers overhead drive of the picker staffs and shuttle-box shifting for pendulous shuttle-box frames, and a reversing motion for the power loom. Four claims are listed, followed by a disclaimer dated Boston, September 11, 1863, that narrows the reversing-motion claim.

US Patent No. 169, granted April 20, 1837 to Erastus B. Bigelow of West Boylston, Massachusetts, for a power loom to weave coach-lace and similar figured fabrics. The specification describes the frame, warp beams, heddles and cams, a figuring mechanism using a pierced cylinder and wires, the shuttle drive, and pliers that shift the figuring wires. It also covers stop motions for a missed shuttle or exhausted weft, and ends with six claims. Three sheets of patent drawings (Figs. 1-12) precede the text.

US Patent No. 89,011, granted April 20, 1869 to Erastus B. Bigelow of Boston for improvements in jacquard power looms, used for weaving multi-ply carpets. It describes a mechanism for raising and lowering the jacquard machine to adjust harness-cord height, a cam-driven system for operating the trap-boards and pattern cylinder, cam-operated journals for the harness, and a ratchet-and-pawl mechanism for shifting shuttle-box series governed by the jacquard. Six sheets of drawings (Figs. 1-7) precede the specification and claims.
