JULIUS IVI. REIS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

EMBROIDERY-FOUNDATION.

Application filed August 12, 1913.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIUS M. Rnis, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Embroidery-Foundations, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to embroidery forms and more particularly to embroidery foundations adapted to be secured to fabric and then embroidered over. In the manufacture of such forms or foundations it is found necessary to include certain parts or lines to tie together various parts of the design so that the form will not be easily broken, which parts or lines are adapted to be cut away after the form is secured to the fabric so as to leave the design in its proper form.

The main object of the invention is to provide such parts or lines with suitable characteristics to indicate that they are to be cut out and not embroidered.

The invention will be more clearly understood from the detailed description given below taken in connection with the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this specification.

In the drawing. Figure l .is a plan View of an embroidery form for the letter A without my improvements, and Fig. 2 is a similar view of an embroidery form of the letter A embodying my invention in one form, while Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate modifications.

Referring to Fig. l, the form is provided with a part or line 3 which connects or ties together the parts 4 and 5 of the form. As this part is made integral with the rest of the form there is nothing to indicate that it does not form part of the design of the letter to be embroidered. Accordingly as copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 12, '1915. Serial No. 784,318.

shown in Fig. 2, I provide the part or line 3 with integral irregularities such as circular projections 6 which indicate to the person doing the embroidery that this line or part is not to be embroidered but is to be cut out after the form is secured to the fabric. Of course, indentations may be made in the parts 3 for the same purpose as illustrated in Fig. 3, but I prefer the pro jections as characteristics. Also instead of using such irregularities the part or line 3 might be differently colored as indicated in Fig. 4 for the same purpose, but this arrangement is not preferred as the coloring entails considerable extra expense and several other practical difiiculties.

Having fully and clearly described my improvements, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. An embroidery form or foundation adapted to be secured to fabric and embroidered over, in which parts which do not form part of the design and are adapted to be cut away, are provided with irregularities such as integral projections or indentations to indicate that they are not to be embroidered over.

2. An embroidery form or foundation adapted to be secured to fabric and embroidered over, in which parts which do not form part of the design and are adapted to be cut away, are provided with characteristics to indicate that they are not to be embroidered over.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JULIUS M. REIS.
