COMPOSITE TUCKED FABRIC.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 16, 19115.

Application filed July 12, 1967. Serial No. 383,393.

Few York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Composite Tucked Fabrics, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a new article of manufacture especially adapted to be used in the manufacture of ladies wearing apparcl.

It consists of the novel arrangement of two or more fabrics preferably of different materials, one over the other, attached to gether by means of tucks made in both materials; the outer material forming the outer casing or covering for the tuck, while the under or inner material forms the inner shell or lining of the tuck. It will thus be seen that while there is a tuck in each of the fabrics they are so arranged that they form but one composite tuck which is made by a single row of stitching.

In the drawings forming part of the application and in which like letters repre; sent like parts, Figure 1 shows the under or reverse side of my composite tucked fabrics, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross-section taken through the line 22 of Fig. 1.

In the drawings, forming the under or inner side and B represents the fabric forming the top or outer side, which in the form of my invention shown in the drawings, isof net, although any other desirable fabrics could be used. In the preferred form, however,

of my invention it is desirable to use a fab' ric for the top or outer side which will permit the fabric of the under or inner side to be seen through it, or to at least permit of the color of the under fabric to'be seen through it.

The fabrics to be used having been selected they are placed one upon the other and secured together by means of a single A represents the fabric row of stitching D, which forms the com posite tuck C made of the two fabrics. As seen in Fig. 2, when the tucks C are made by the single row of stitching D, the tuck in the fabric A lies within the tuck in the fabric B, thus forming a composite tuck made of the two materials.

'In the drawings 1 have shown my invention in the form of a waist front, in which it will be noted that the tucks on the right side lie over toward the right, while the tucks on the left side lie over toward the left. Of course my invention is not limited to this, as the tucks may be made in any form or in any desired arrangement or at any distance.

In the manufacture of my composite tucked fabrics many unique designs may be made by using fabrics of different colors and arranging the tucks so as to form pleasing effects in the use of the same when niade into wearing apparel.

What I claim asmew and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. As an article of manufacture, a composite fabric composed of two fabrics held together by parallel tucks formed in both fabrics on one side only, the outer fabric being of such a nature that it will permit the under fabric to be seen through it.

2. As an article of manufacture, a composite fabric composed of two fabrics different in color, said fabrics being held together by parallel tucks formed in both fabrics on one side only so as to form a composite fabric, the material of the outer fabric being of such a nature that it will permit the material of the under fabric to be seen through it.

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

CHARLES C. MORGAN.
