Abstract

A ribbon combination for holding the ends of a plurality of laths in a grid-like arrangement comprises a row of pouches which are open to at least one side. The ribbon combination, is manufactured as a combination of ribbon parts (3 and 4) which lie essentially flat against each other which ribbon parts are joined to one another in a suitable manner. The first ribbon part (3) consists of a shrinkable material (e.g., cotton material) and the second ribbon part (4) consist of a non-shrinkable or less shrinkable material (e.g., nylon or pre-shrunken cotton material). The ribbon combination is then subjected to a shrinking process. By this, the pouches which were flat beforehand, comprise now a shrunken pouch bottom and a pouch part arching over the bottom. The ribbon combination is very easy to manufacture and comprises a constant length, independent of whether lath ends are inserted in the pouches or not.
The ribbon combination can easily be stitched on to a lattice apron or a mattress cover with the shrunken ribbon part lying flat thereon.

Claims

1. A ribbon combination with a first ribbon part (3) and a second ribbon part (4) lying substantially against each other and being joined to one another in such a manner, that together they form a row of pouches being open at least on one side, the row extending over the length of the ribbon combination, character-ized in that the first ribbon part (3) is shortened through shrinkage relative to the second ribbon part (4), so that the first ribbon part (3) forms a pouch bot-tom in every pouch and the second ribbon part (4) arches over the pouch bot-tom.

2. A ribbon combination in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the first ribbon part (3) consists at least partially of a material which has been shrunk under predefined conditions and the second ribbon part (4) consists at least partially of a material, which under the predefined conditions is either non-shrinkable or else less shrinkable than the material of the first ribbon part.

3. A ribbon combination according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the first ribbon part (3) consists at least partially of shrinkable cotton material and the second ribbon part (4) consists at least partially of a non-shrinkable or less shrinkable synthetic fabric.

4. A ribbon combination in accordance with claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the second ribbon part (4) consists at least partially of pre-shrunken cotton material and the first ribbon part (3) consists at least partially of non-pre-shrunken cotton material.

5. A ribbon combination according to one of claims 2 to 4, characterized in that the two ribbon parts (3 and 4) are woven with warp threads and weft threads and that the warp threads of the first ribbon part (3) consist of a shrinkable material and the warp threads of the second ribbon part (4) consist of the non-shrinkable or less shrinkable material.

6. A ribbon combination in accordance with claim 5, characterized in that the warp threads of the first ribbon part (3) consist of cotton material and the warp threads of the second ribbon part (4) consist of nylon material.

7. A ribbon combination according to one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that it is manufactured in a single weaving process and that it comprises alternating over its length single-layer sectors (2) and double-layer sectors (1), wherein in the single-layer sectors the two ribbon parts (3 and 4) are integrated in each other and in the double-layer sectors (1) the two ribbon parts are separate from one another.

8. A ribbon combination in accordance with one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the two ribbon parts (3 and 4) are two ribbons having been manufac-tured independently of one another and being stitched together to form the row of pouches.

9. A ribbon combination according to one of claims 1 to 8, characterized in that the second ribbon part (4) is narrower than the first ribbon part (3).

10. Use of a ribbon combination in accordance with one of claims 1 to 9 for fixing laths in a grid-like arrangement.

11. Process for manufacturing a ribbon combination comprising a first ribbon part (3) and a second ribbon part (4), the two ribbon parts lying against each other and being joined together to form a row of pouches open at least on one side, the row of pouches extending over the length of the ribbon combination, char-acterized in that the first ribbon part (3) which consists at least partially of a material being shrinkable under predefined conditions and the second ribbon part (4) which consists at least partially of a material being non-shrinkable or less shrinkable than the material of the first ribbon part under the predefined conditions are positioned flat against each other and are joined to one another to form a row of pouches being open at least on one side, and that the two joined ribbon parts (3 and 4) are subjected to the predefined conditions.

12. Process in accordance with claim 11, characterized in that the two ribbon parts (3 and 4) are manufactured and joined to one another in a single weaving process.

13. Process according to claim 11, characterized in that the ribbon parts (3 and 4) are woven separately and are then stitched together.

14. Process in accordance with one of claims 11 to 13, characterized in that the first ribbon part (3) consists at least partially of cotton material and that, for the shrinking process, the ribbon combination is washed at a predefined tempera-ture and thereupon is dried under tension.
