Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 30, 1913.
Application filed March 14, 1910. Serial No. 549,361.
T 0 all whom it mag concern:
Be it known that I, WALLACE BRADLEY TYRRELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Delavan, county of Walworth, and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Seams for Sewed Articles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in knit garments, and it pertains more especially, among other things, to the device for reinforcing and strengthening the seams and other parts of the garment which are subject to the greatest strain, whereby the liability of such garment becoming stretched out of its normal shape is avoided.
My invention is further explained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in wh1chto the seams of a garment.
Like parts are identified by the same reference numerals throughout the several views.
1 and 2 in Fig. 2 represent the respective fabrics as they are arranged, preparatory to securing them together by a series of stitches 3. When the fabrics 1 and 2 have been thus secured together, as shown in Fig. 2, the marginal edge 4 is trimmed down on a line in close proximity to the series of stitches 3, when the fabrics are separated, as shown in Fig. 3. \Vhen this is done, a piece of tape 5 is placed upon the marginal edges of the fabric, which has previously been stitched together as shown in Fig 4, when said tape is stitched to the respective fabrics 1 and 2 by two series of stitches 6, 6. The tWO' series of stitches 6, 6, are simultaneously formed by a sewing machine, which is provided with two needles and adapted to form both series of stitches atthe same time. Simultaneously with forming the sc- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of ries of stitches 6, 6, a piece of yarn 7, preferably ofjthe same color as the fabric is automatically carried backward and forward across the tape in a zigzagdirection, as shown in Fig. 5, with every stitch of the series 6, 6, whereby such zigzag yarn is secured in place above the tape and whereby the tape is practically covered over and obscured from view. The tape 5. is preferably made of a strong, non-elastic strip of cloth, which when thus secured to the garment, prevents the same from stretching at the points where it is subjected to the greatest strains, while the zigzag loops of yarn 7 practically obscure the tape from View, whereby the garment is given a neat and finished appearance' While my invention thus far described pertains to the manner of securing the tape to the garment above the seams, it is obvious that if desired, the tape may be secured to the garment at any intermediate point between the seams or to garments in which there are no seams, whereby the garment at such point is prevented from being stretched and drawn out of its normal symmetrical shape and whereby the garment is much more durable than it would otherwise be when subjected to the usual strains of wear. "While for brevity of description, the reinforcing member 5 is referred to as a tape, it will be understood that any narrow strip of non-elastic fabric may be substituted therefor and that the same will come within the scope of my claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In a seam for garments, the combination of two pieces of fabric secured together at a distance from their edges by a series of stitches forming a seam, the marginal edges of such fabric being folded over upon itself in opposite directions, a reinforcing tape located above and upon said folded marginal edges, a continuous series of zigzag loops of yarn formed transversely to and upon the upper surface of said tape and extending in opposite directions past its respective edges, and a plurality of longitudig I J 4 1,074,580
