Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed September 30, 1911. Serial No. 652,090.
Patented Mar. 10, 1914.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RICHARD MI'iLLER, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at Norwa-lk, in the county of Fa-irfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Umbrella-Coverings, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to fabric coverings for umbrellas and the like, and more particularly to a novel binding or edging for fabrics of this description.
The invention has for its object the production of an edging or tape of improved wearing qualities and appearance, and one, moreover, which materially reduces the cost of production of the fabric as a whole.
These and other objects of my invention will be hereinafter set forth and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings which form a part hereof and in which like reference characters des1g nate like parts throughout the several views:
-Figure 1 shows a Width of fabric of the character in question before the same has been severed preparatory to forming my novel tape thereon. Fig. 2 shows a fragment of such fabric after it has been severed from the body of the material, and Fig. 3 shows a section of the novel tape, drawn to an enlarged scale.
In the manufacture of th better grades of umbrella coverings it has been common heretofore to weave the covering in narrow looms and of just the width required, the weft threads being turned at the edges around the outermost warp threads in the usual manner; an edging or tape like weave being provided along the res ective lateral edges of the fabric, which e gings are by reason of the turned weft threads quite well adapted to Withstand wear. For convenience and cheapness of manufacture, however, it is preferable to weave the covering fabric of two or more times the width required; but this entails severing the woven material lengthwise with consequent cutting of the weft. Further the taped edge would,
- 5- in the absence of the provision of a band of tape-like material through the body of the fabric, be found only upon one edge of the severed strips. In order therefore to provide an edging for the other side of the fabric it is necessary .to weave a tape-like band or bands lengthwise directly through less some means be the body f the fabric, which bands when the material is cut may present substantially the same appearance as the true edgin formed by the loom. Now as the we threads must be severed in the manner above stated, these supplemental edgings, formed from the intermediate bands, will ravel unprovided for guarding thereagainst, and I have found that a sightly and exceedingly durable binding may be formed in the manner which will now be described, having reference to the drawings.
In F 1g. 1 have shown a double width of fabric of the type in question formed in a wide loom, the body of the fabric being designated 1 and belng provided with finlshe -selvage edges 2 during the course of the weaving. Selvage or tape-like bands 3 extend, in this instance, substantially centrally and longitudinally of the sheet, which bands are woven to have substantially the same appearance as the selvage ed es 2. Between the bands 3 is a belt or section of fabric 4 which may, if desired, be woven in analogous fashion to the body parts 1, this section 4 preferably having a width at least equal to the combined widths of the bands 3, or in other words, the width a of the band 4 is double the width b of the band 3, and the width b of a band 3 is preferably the same as that of a tape 2. After the fabric has been woven it is severed longitudinally thereof, in this instance along the median line of the belt 4. At this stage of the process of manufacture the fabric will appear as shown in Fig. 2; the severed portion 4 of the band 4 being shown at the right hand ed e of the fabric strip. The narrow band 4 is now folded over upon the band 3 in the manner shown in Fig. 3, as for instance by passing th strip or sheet of fabric through suitable rolls, and the folded parts 3 and 4' are firmly secured together by means of adhesive material 5. Thin rubberized paper or fabric forms a very convenient adhesive material for this purpose, a strip of this substance of approximately the width I) being introduced between the folded edge 4 and the band 3 when the edge 4 is being folded over upon said band 3; the material being heated sufficiently to render the rubberized fabric adhesive while pressure is being applied upon the folded portions of the fabric. In this way a taped side,
edge, broadly is integrally united to the body of the fabric 1, and which when viewed in the direction of the arrows presents substantially the same appearance as the taped edge 2; but the taping 6 is even more substantial than the said e ge 2, and it is practically impossible for it to ravel, no free weft ends being exposed at the fold 7.
As viewed from below, the fabric, for all intents and purposes, appears to be of uniform Weave from the body 1 to the extreme edge or told 7, for since the fabric is thin the inwardly directed edge 8 of the band l will scarcely be noticeable. The covering thus produced is attractive in appearance, durable, and may furthermore be produced at a minimum of expense since the cost of the extra width of material 4: which is folded over is but slight, and the operation of adhesively securing said. material while folding the semen: practically inconsiderable The appearance of the tape or edging is also improved when viewed from the inwhen the umbrella is raised, since tape constructed in accordance with the present invention is more dense, and opaque to light, than woven tape as heretofore constructed,
designated 6, is made which 1&89357 Having describedmy-invention, I claim:
1. A fabric for umbrella coverings comprising a woven fabric having selvages and a pair of tape-like bands woven therein, said fabric-being adapted to be severed termediate said pair of bands and having a strip of fabric attached to each of said bands,
like edge.
2. As an article or manufacture, a fabric for umbrella coverings having a sellvageand a plurality of tape-like bands woven therein, said fabric being adapted to be cut into determined widths with tape-like bands spaced from each material between theband and the severed said strips being adapted to be folded over the bands to form a smooth salvageof the severed edges, the
edges being adapted to be folded over and adhesively secured to the band to form 'a selvage like' edge of suiiicient strength "to prevent the tearing of the fabric when stretched.
in Witness whereof, I subscribe my signature, int-he presence of two witnesses.
