CHARLES L. KNOWER, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

APPAREL-BELT.

Application fried April 1,1915. seriai'ivc. 18,434.

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES L. KNownn,

a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have 1nvented certain new and useful Improve ments in Apparel-Belts, of which the folf lowing' is a specification.

' facing ply ture.

My invention relates to improvements 1n apparel belts, and method of making the saine.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide a stitched belt construction in which the stitching is wholly concealed.

A further object of my invention is to provide a 'construction and method of-operation by which stitched tubular belts may be cheaply and easily manufactured, whether made of a sing'le leather piece, or multiple strips, of leather or leather and fabric.

In the drawings whereinv I have illustrated belt constructions embodying my invention Figure 1 is a perspective view of a fragment of a belt in process of manufacture. Fig. 2 is a similar view of a modified form of belt. Fig. 3 is a transverse section through a belt of the construction illustrated in Fig. 1 in the course of manufac- Fig. 4 is a similar view through a form of belt as indicated in Fig. 2.

Referring to the form of construction shown in Fig. 1, 10 indicates the facing layer and 11 a backing layer of a one piece tubular belt, the two layers or plies being connected at a fold l2. The edge 13 of the backing ply 11 is laid upon the rear surface of the facing ply 10 so that a border 14 of said l0 projects beyond the edge 13. his border is preferably skived to a very thin edge as best indicated in Fig. 2. The edge 13 is blind-stitched to the front layer 10, preferably by a single row of blindstitches 1S that pass through the edge portion of the backing ply 11 and into and out of the back face of the facing kply 10. In the form of construction shown in Figs. l and 3, I have illustrated the blind stitching as of a well known form lin which the edge is overseamed by the overcasting of a bight of thread in connection with the formation of each stitch, such form of seam being' capable'of commercial production upon the Lewis blind stitch sewing machine. Other forms of blind stitching' may, however, be employed if desired and in this particular myjiiivention is not restricted to the parn ticular pverseaming form of stitch. When Specification of Letters Patent.

1 the spirit of my invention,

Patented Dec. 26, 1916.

the two layers are thus stitched together the adhesive bearing" surface of the border 14 is turned over the blind stitching completely to overlie and cover the same'as illustrated at the right of Fig. 1 and by the adhesive body 16, of a suitable glue or cement,fthe skived border is stuck fast to the rear surface of the backing ply. The resultant belt is strong, firmly joined and neat and attractive in appearance, presenting externally no evidence of the stitching and yet having its two plies fiXedly united quite independ-y ently of the gluing' or cementing material 16.

As illustrated in Fig. 2 the facing ply 10 may be wider than the belt to provide skived borders 14 projecting at both edges beyond 4an independent backing ply 11; blind stitching 18 may secure both edges of the backing ply to the facingply, and both borders 14 may be rolled over and glued. In this way a cheaper belt than that shown in Fig. 1, may be made, as the stock may be of narrower width than that required for a belt constructed as shown in Fig. l, and also the cover or finishing ply may be made very thin. If desired the backing ply 11 may be of webbing or other suitable fabric or a very cheap grade of leather, and the two border strips 14: may be so proportioned ythat when they are folded over and glued they completely cover the back of the belt, although in an all-leat-her belt the borders need be no wider than is necessary to cover the stitching.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that changes in details of construction may be made without departure from of the appended claims.

Having described my invention, what I claim is 1. A multiple ply, stitched, apparel belt having a cover ply and a backing ply, said backing ply blind stitched to the cover ply to leave extending beyond the edge of the within the scope backing ply a border portion of the cover e ply and said border portion lapped around and secured over the blind stitching.

2. An apparel belt comprising multiple plies, a backing ply being superimposed on a facing ply to leave the border of said facing ply extending beyond the side edge of said backing ply, a series of sewed stitches, blind in the facing ply and exposed on the back of the backing ply, securing said plies together, and an adhesive body securing said posed thereon7 border portion o the facing ply in position lapped around the edge and back of said backing ply and covering the stitches.

3. A multiple ply stitched apparel belt comprising a Jfacing ply .and a backing ply narrower than the facing ply and superimleaving a border of facing ply extending beyond each side of the backing ply7 a series of sewed stitches securing the two plies together and extending along each edge of the backing ply, said stitches being blind in the outer surface of the faoing ply, and exposed only on the back sur- CHARLES L.
