Abstract

116,092. Heusen, J. M. van, (Assignee of Morgan, J. L.). May 22, 1917, [Convention date]. Fashioned fabrics, looms specially designed for. -Double collars of two-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 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 complete 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 two-ply fabric are connected by binder threads 21. The warp threads are shown at 18. Between the two layers is a layer of filling or gut threads 20, which, however, are omitted at the fold, so as to form the required weakened part. Fig. 8 shows another way of forming the weakened portion in a two-ply fabric, the gut threads 33 being omitted, and the upper and lower plys being combined into a single ply having double the number of warp and weft threads. The collar in both cases is afterwards stamped out of the cloth, bound, and finished in the usual way. Specifications 110.942, [Class 142 (iv), Woven fabrics &c.], and 116,090 are referred to.
