Be it known that I, JosUA SALZBERGER, a

New York city, borough of Bronx, in the county of New York and State of New, York, have invented certain new and useful 1 Improvements in Fur- Chenilles, of which the following is a specification;

My invention relates to improvements in chenilles, and more especially to that of fur ohenilles.

The object of my invention is to produce a fur chenille cheaply by using the discarded scraps of fur garment manufacturers. A further object is to be enabled to use said scraps no matter in what condition I they have been out, and adapt the same to be quickly made into fur chenilles at 'a minimum cost. w The invention consists in structural fea tures and arrangement of parts which will hereinafter be more fully described and par- .ticularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings where similar reference characters correspond to the same parts in the different figures; Figure 1 represents a series of disconnected sections of fur of uniform width; Fig. 2 represents the under side of the scraps shown in Fig. 1, fastened together; Fig. 3 shows, the fur side of the scraps secured together as shown in Fig. 2; Fig. 4 1s a View of the flex ble core used in making the chenille; and Fig. 5 is an elevation of a section of the finished chenille.

Referring to the drawings 1, 1 1 and 1 represent sections offur scraps which have been so trimmed as to be of uniform width, as shown in Fig. I. sewed together as shown at 2 or they may be attached in any suitable manner as by glue or paste, as shown at 3, or by small staples as at 4:. I wish it to be distinctly understood that I do not limit myself to the,

particular fastening means herein shown, but any other suitable expedients may be employed to secure the ends. It will be seen from Fig. 2 that I first form a tapev or strip offur of uniform width composed of aseries of connected sections of fur. After a tape 6 of proper length has been made, see Fig. 3, one end of this strip is fastened These sections are 7 by any suitable means one end of a flexible core 5 of any diameter, (see Fig.6), with the fur side outward. The end of the core 5 having the fur strip attached thereto is then so secured that itmay turn when the core is rotated. The fur strip is then.

spirally wound around thecore 5 by twistmg or turning the core, when the fur strip will become tightly and uniformly wrapped around said core, (see Fig. 5), with they backing of the fur adjacent to the core and the edges of said backing being contiguous and arranged spirally around the core, and when the proper length of tapehas been formed, its end maybe secured to the core by any suitable means. The. contiguous edges of the backing arranged spirally around the core are hidden from View by thefur overlappingthe edges, making the chenille appear as a continuous cylinder" of fur. These lengths, as will be readilyseen,

.can be made of anynumber of yards, and

by simply sewing together small pieces or sections of fur which have been discarded, by the furriers or garment manufacturers. If so desired the tape of fur may be secured to the'core by means of paste or other-ad'-' hesive material placed on the core, as shown for example at 7 in Fig. 5, before the tape is wound upon the same.

From the foregoing description will be I 1 seen that a, fur chenille can be quickly and cheaply manufactured by the utilization of 1;

scraps of fur which have heretofore been i wasted or discarded. It will also be understood that the chenille herein shown and described can be readily used in making fur garments, as for example, muffs, coats, stoles, and other similar articles, by sewing or weaving together the chenille herein shown and described. a

What 'I claim is 1- a v As a new article of manufacture a fur chenille consisting of a flexible core havlng a strip of fur withits backing of uniform backing spirally Wound adjacent upon said in presence of two Witnesses;

a strip of fur of uniform Width with its In testimony whereof I affix'my'signature core and the fur surface on the outside, the I JOSUA SALZBERGER. edges of the backing arranged contiguously Witnesses: 5 and spirally around the core, and the fur v W.
