KNITTED TBIMMI'NG.

To all *whom it 'may concern: Beit- 4known thatI, SAMUEL N. GooDMAN, a citizen' of the United States,-;residing at Philadelphia, eountyof Philadelphia, and

State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Knitted Trimmings, of which the followingis a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.'

- The object o f'my invention is to produce i a knitted-trimming, more particularly of thelgsp'eiti known as Vedgings lfor lidiesim "epiiit for 'producingaditl'erent .or more atti" 'an h edgings vheretod n ally rxteridingf single row of chain ,'lfwhiehffadjoins.the ornamental portion Erf the design and v:between which and ,thelieadingor fsewing-on space is formed a "1'ibboxrspace or braiding space l; aud' third, transverselyextending pillar bars vuniti g theheading'and single row of chain y stitees'f adjoining the ornamental portion,

saitlpillaroars -being usually spaced apart andeach ,comprising one or more threads.

vantage is that. when the Garmentis in place, one' half of the pillar bars are concealed from view. Another disadvantage is that it requires considerable time to pass the ribbon over and under alternate pillar bars. Another disadvantage is that vthe edging presents substantially the same appearance on both sides. Another disadvantage is that when the garment is worn, the ribbon contacts with the body of the wearer.V .In my invention all thesedisadvantages aite` overcome. In knitting my improved I proceed in the ordinary way except that f ormabout one half the usual number-ffo f .A pillar bars and cover the ribbon space haelt'I of the pillar bars by knitting a fabric, preferably a line'web, the thieads of which are,' `at the longitudinal edges of the fabric, knitted in with, and held in place by, the longit'udinal rows of stitches bounding the ribbon Space.

The web consists preferably,'butlnot neces 75"' aarily, of the arrangmcnt of stitches well known in the art as a nubia-7 fabric. Vith such a construction, the ribbonA is threaded between the pillar-bars on the front and the web on the back, thereby 'fa- 8 0 cilitating the threadingr ofit in place. The pillar-bars, as `stated, maybe arranged at twice the usual 'distance apart and yet present. the saine al'ipearancc, when the edging is viewedfrom the front, as if theywere ar- 85 ranged the usual distance apart, or the pillar bars may be arranged the. usual distance apart and present, when viewed from the front, an appearance of being much elosertogether than in the ordinary edging, 'be- 90 cause none of them is concealed. Further, the edgingr presents entirely different. appearances when viewed from front and back. Finally, ,the web lon the back prevents the ribbon or braid from contacting with the body of the'wearer, which is an advantage of considerable importance. In the drawings:- Figure l is a plan view Y Showing the appraramze ot' the edging. Fig. is a detail plan tien' ot a part of the 100 edging shown in Fig. 1. Y

a and l; constitute a .double row of longitudinally extendingr chain stitches and l.- the `.tine. threads uniting rowsl .L and and forining with them the heading or sewing-on space, 'lhe thread forming the web o is passed back and f orth from one row o of' stitches to the other row bn being tied into place by the loops of the chain stitches in the manner well known to those skilled 1n transverse-warp machines, upon which the and so on in lsuccessive repeats, the saidY yarn being confined b the loops of the sev-- -web being bound edging is knitted.

d is the longitudinal row of chain stitches bounding theother edge of the ribbon space.

In the particular fabric shown in the drawings, another row of chain stitches e (forming part ofthe ornamental border) is provided` and the yarn f forming the plllar bars extends longitudinally from row' e in a curved direction to row d, thence across the ribbon space to row b thence back across vthe ribbonv space to4 row d, and thence` in a curved direction longitudinally to rowe,

eral chain stitches in t e manner well known in the Inthe particularfabric shown in the drawings,- still another row of chain stitches g (formm the outer margin ofthe ornamental border is provided, said chain extending longitudinally in a series of scallops. Loopsyh extend inwardly from the chain g at theintersection o f successive scallops'andare confined by the loops of chains The knitted web is composed of ne threads' looped together in the manner well known to knitters of nubia, the edges of the in b the loops of the chains bounding ther ibbon space.

representsaribbon which, as shown, is assed between the pillar bars f and the itted' web That" ortion of the particular `fabric l `hereinbe ore described which lies outside the chain d forms no part of the invention and is simply shown vbecause the yarn forming the pillar bars constitutes part of the design 'of this' portion ofthe fabric. It will be understood that this ornamental 'portion of the fabric. may be varied as' described, and

that the arrangement of transverse-threads across the ribbon space may'also be variedA as desired.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to protect by 'l Letters Patent is:

l. An edging for underwear, etc., comprising Itwo longitudinally extending rows of stitches forming between thema ribbon space, transverse threads uniting saidarows,

-and a knitted web also uniting said rows and forming between it and the transverse threads a ribbon-retaining pocket.

2. An edging for underwear, etc., comprising'a longitudinal plural row f stitchesv rows, a longitudinal row of chain stitches widely spaced froml the saidheading and forming between them a ribbon space, a knitted web extending across the ribbon space, and threads extending across the rib-y bon space and overlying the web and spa/.ced-v apart to form pillar bars, said web and pillar bar threads being united to the chainl stitches bounding the ribbon space.

In testimony of which invention, I have hereunto 'set my. hand. at Philadelphia, on

this 29th day of February, Q12. v SABIUEL N. GOODMAN.
