i Application filed January 15, 1912. Serial No. 6714851.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that: I, JOHN H. BENTLEY, acit'izen of the United States, residing at Midland Park, in the county of P'assaic and State of New Jersey, have Iii'ivented certain new and useful"Improvements in llciixkwcar and the Like and Methods of Manufacturing the Same, ofwhich the following is a specification. 4 I f This invention relates to the manufacture of neck wear and the like, and it is directed partly to the structural formation thereof and partly to the forming of an integral. lining, the principal objects being to simplify andcheapen the manufacture as well as to produce anarticle of the character named which shall present a better appear ance andretainsuch appearance more per fectly than others of its kind nowin use and in other respects be superiorto them.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 i is a plan View of a piece of fabric which is first woven'in accordance with-this inven-. tion, to he afterward cut into sect1ons; Fig.

2 shows one of said sections after it has been cut from the piece; Fig. 8 shows the finished neck tie; Fig. 4 is an end new of one of the sections, after being cut from the piece; Fig. 5 an end View of the finished tie; and, Fig. 6 a magnified sectional view onthe line a7w of Fig 1.

The warp threads of the piece a inFigzl extend in the direction of the arrow A ad-j joining said figure and the weftthreads in the direction of the arrow B.

The goods is woven so as to form alter-" nating transversely extending single-ply strips Z) and double-ply strips 0 (Fig. 4),

this being accomplished by any of the well known methods. involving separating the Warp threads from time to time into upper and lower groupsand interweaving independent weft with the thusdivided groups of warp threads. It will be understood that the sides cl; (Z of the piece shown in Fig. 1 are both preferably the sclvages thereof, the ad- Vantage of which of course is that 'when the articles are formed from the piece as herein, after described their ends will be of a nonfraying character. The double-ply strips are hollow from end to end. Having thus formed the piece a it iscut transversely into as many sections as there are two-ply pore tions 0, the cutting beingv preferably so effected as to leave a wide flap'e along one sideof thetwo-ply .portion 0 and ajnarrow Y flap f along the other side thereof. 'llhe drawing illustrates one of these sections with its component portions in propf; pro- 'ior-tion to produce a neck tie of the four;

iii-hand or scarf type (when shapedlf'fui t-ner, is-hereinafter specified) and "it"wiill be understood that in producing the piece z plish the cutting out of the several sections as economically aspossible.

l Haring produced sections such as are shownin Fig. 2, they are turned inside out, Figs. 3 and 5, the lines 9 where the two portions 0 merge into the single-ply portio b-becoining the edges of the finished article'; the flaps e and f are laid flat between the plies of the two-ply1 portion 7)., and thus become the lining of the tie. When the section is thus turned inside out it tends to as; surne the flattened disposition shown in Fig. 5, but of course it will usually be pressed so asto insure uniformity in its flattened shape and give it the desired finish. I

In weaving the piece a I prefer to reduce the number of warp threads employed between the lines C and D in Fig. I relatively to those employed to theright and leftof said lines, whereby to make the portion of the finished tie between'the lines, and which forms the neck band of the tie, thinner than the remaining portions, forming the ends of the tie. This is illustrated in Fig. 6 where the warp threads 2', in one of the ends of the tie, are more numerous than the warp threadsy In the neck band thereof; It in this figure designates the weft threads.

The width of the neck band .portionof the finished product 1113 also he'less than thatfof' the ends, this being accomplished by reducing; the ,width of each two-ply por- 'tion in Fig.1, between the lines G and D. and correspondingly increasing the width of each single ply portion. hen the neck portion of the tie is reduced in this manner it is preferable to cutaway one of the flaps as the flap la in Fig. 2, on the line. is in said figure so as to reduce the material of the flap to only what is needed to form the lining.

Having thus fully described my invention...

what I claim. new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is ,1. The herein-described elongated andv tubular woven article of manufacture formed narrower 1n asu ltable length thereof than, in an adjoininglength a11d ha v ing.

enveloped thereim oppositely disposed are "the work will be planned so as'to acco1n-..

gral longitudinal flaps, one of said flaps be ing wider than the other in the first i ained length of the article and the other flap Wider than the first flap in the other or narrower length of the article, substantially as described.

as that of the article in the wider length thereof and one being approximately of the samewidth as the article in the narrower length thereof, substantially as described.

The-herein described method 01" forming an artiole of manufacture of substantially the nature described consisting in the following, to Wit: firstweaving an elongated piece of goods having a long tud nal twoplyqportion and a longitudinal SHIglSPlY flap at one side, 01: the two ply portion, the two-ply portion being narrower for a suitahlelength'ot the piece, andthe flap wider for same length of the piece, than in an mes es adjoining length of the piece; then cutting away the part of the flap corresponding to the narrower part of the two-ply portion along av longitudinal line relatively near the latter, and finally turning the two-ply portion inside out, thus bringing the flap within the two-ply portion, substantially as described.

4. The herein-described elongated and hollow two-ply Woven article of manufacture having the warp threads thereof extending transversely of the article and the weft threads extending: longitudinally thereof and having the Warp threads in a suitable length of the article less numerous than in an adjoining len rth thereof, said article being narrower in the first-named length than in the other length, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN H. BlflNTLEY.
