German Reich patent no. 312851 (class 86c, group 8) issued 17 June 1919 to Ellen Struve, née Gleiche, of Berlin-Friedenau, for a hand-weaving device, patented from 8 May 1917. The warp is a single continuous thread run in a zigzag over two rows of rollers inside a small housing, so a long warp and a long piece of cloth fit in a compact device. Sheds are formed by two combs with alternately long and short slots, carried on pivoting double-lever pairs worked by cords and pedals, and warp tension is adjusted by raising or lowering one roller row. The scan includes the description, the single patent claim, and a sheet of drawings (Figs. 1-3).
