Abstract

116,090. Heusen, J. M. van, (Assignee of Morgan, J. L.). May 22, 1917, [Convention date]. Fashioned fabrics, looms specially designed for. -Double collars of multi-ply fabric are made by weaving, under the same tension, the outer and inner folds in such a way that the outer fold is longer than the inner one, whereby the collar takes a permanent curvilinear set when folded. The intermediate edge fold portion is also woven under the same tension, but with less warp threads, so that is weakened. The fabric for making the collars is woven by taking the warp and binder threads from rolls 1, over guide-rolls 2, through spacing-frames 3, around guide-rolls 4, through thread-supporting loops of the heald frame 6, and through a reed 7 carried by a beam 8. The completed fabric is carried over a skew guide-rod 10, and between tapered tension rolls 11, 12, to the take-up roll 13. The rolls 11, 12 produce the required uniform tension on the threads, whereby the greatest length of thread is on one edge, the length gradually diminishing towards the other edge. Fig. 5 shows a cross-section of the fabric, wherein the weft threads 17 of the three-ply fabric are connected by binder threads 21, 22, and the warp threads 20 of the intermediate layer are omitted at the centre so as to form the weakened edge fold portion 23. The weakened edge may also be produced by omitting warp threads from one of the outer layers, or from one of the outer layers and also from the intermediate layer. The collar is stamped out of the fabric, bound, and finished in the usual way. Specifications 110,942, [Class 142 (iv), Woven fabrics &c.], and 116,092 are referred to.
