CHARLES SUTIER GASKILL, OF WILMINGTON, DELAWARE.
VEILING.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLns S. GAsKILL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wilmington, in the county of Newcastle and State of Delaware, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Veiling, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to veiling such as is usually worn by ladies over the face and head.
Veiling, as commonly found on the market, is in the form of a netted fabric wound into a bolt, from which the merchant cuts a piece of any length desired by a purchaser. Such veiling, is, like any other fabric, formed perfectly fiat, so as to lie in a plane surface throughout its width. Such plane surface, however, cannot possibly conform to the shape of the features of the wearer, particularly as regards the chin. Great difficulty is experienced, therefore, by the wearers of veils, in causing the lower edge thereof to remain down over the chin in proper position, and also not to hang below it in a point. Recourse is had to many kinds of expedients to overcome this difliculty, probably the most familiar being that of twisting that part of the veil below the chin into a knot, and tucking this knot inside the veil. But such a method is unsightly, as well as unsatisfactory. It has even been proposed to provide a drawstring in the lower edge of the veil, under the chin, but the puckered appearance thus produced is highly objectionable.
The object of the present invention, therefore, is to provide a veil having a permanent set or curve adjacent the lower edge thereof so shaped as to readily conform to the chin of the wearer. Veiling made in accordance with my invention adapts itself perfectly to the curve of the chin, and lies smooth without puckers or wrinkles.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is vie-w illustrating the appearance of my improved veil in use. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through a bolt of veiling made in accordance with my invention, and showing the special form on which it is wound; and, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a piece of such veiling after having been cut from the bolt.
Referring more particularly to Fig. 1, veils as usually worn extend over the face Specification of Letters Patent.

and partly over the head of the wearer, and have their ends secured together at the back as indicated at A, as by means of a suitable pin. It will be noted that the distance from A to B, the front edge of the hat, is very much greater than the distance from A to D, which indicates the point at which the veil encircles the throat. The distance from A to C, the chin of the wearer is much greater than from A to D, and may be nearly as great as that from A to B. In order to cause the veil to conform to the shape of the chin, therefore, it is evident that the lower edge of the veil must be shorter than the upper edge, since the radius AD is less than the radius AB. This result may preferably be accomplished by reducing one edge of the veiling during the netting process or, in other words, drawing it more tightly than the body portion or other edge of the fabric.
Referring to Fig. 3, l designates the body of the veil, 2 the upper edge, and 3 the lower edge. It will be seen that the lower edge is much shorter than the upper edge, and has been drawn in to such an extent as to cause the lower portion of the veil to assume a cupped or curved form, as indicated at L.
In manufacturing my improved veiling, a special netting machine is provided which is arranged to gather or reduce the fabric adjacent one edge, and the veiling, as it comes from the machine, is wound upon a special block or form 5, having one end 6 tapered or conical so as to be of less radius than the other end. By this means the upper edge 2 and body portion 1 of the veiling lie in a plane surface and assume a cylindrical shape in the bolt, while the lower edge 3, which has been reduced, is wound upon the tapered end of the block or form, and the curved portion at thereby preserved in its proper shape. When a portion of the fabric is unwound from the special form shown in Fig. 2, and cut off, it will present an appearance somewhat as illustrated in Fig. 3.
Referring again to Fig. 1, that part of the veil extending from C to the upper edge corresponds substantially to the body portion 1 of Figs. 2 and 3, while that portion extending from C to D corresponds sub stantially with the curved portion 4 of the other two figures. It is also possible in certain fabrics, to produce the deslred curved effect adjacent one edge by Wetting and stretching over a suitable form, but the method above described of reducing the fabric along one edge throughout its length during the netting process, is preferable.
It will thus be seen that I have produced, as a new article of manufacture, a piece of veiling which is so shaped as to conform perfectly with the chin of the wearer, and which will lie smooth without wrinkles or other objectionable features, and it is thought that the many advantages of my invention will be readily appreciated by those familiar with such matters.
What I claim is As an article of manufacture, a piece of netted veiling having the lower side edge thereof permanently cupped during the process of manufacture, so as to conform smoothly to the shape of the chin of the wearer.
In testimony whereof I afix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
