ROBERT Gr. TAYLOR, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
ADJUSTABLE TABLE-TOP COVER.
Specifioati of rs Patent. Patented :Mmi. 21), 191"? Application filed March 1, 1916. Serial No. 81,439.
To all whom. it may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT GRAY TAYLOR,
a citizen of the United States, residing at.
Chicago, in the-county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and use similar tables and which will effectually protect the finish of the tops while the tables are being moved from place. to place or being shipped, and it is one aim of the invention to so construct the cover that it may be applied to table tops of various-sizes and readily adjusted so as to effectually protect the top both as concerns the upper surface thereof and also the rail or edge of the top.
Another aim of the invention is to provide a table top cover of the class described embodying a draw string whereby the cover may be tightened or drawn about the table top after application thereto and to provide a novel hem arrangement for housing the said draw string.
Another aim of the invention is to so arrange the draw string that the same may be drawn very tight without likelihood of tearing the hem within which it is housed.
Another aim of the invention is to so construct the cover that the same will present a soft and smooth surface to the table top and to provide the cover with a lining so built up as to efl'ectually prevent marring of the topwvithout rendering the cover so thick as tobe bunglesome.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the. cover applied to a table top.
Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of a portion of the cover removed from the table top.
Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view through the marginal portion of the cover removed.
Fig; 4 is a fragmentary perspective sectional'view of the reverse side of a portion of the cover, the hem being opened to illustrate the construction and thereof. I
The table top cover embodying the present invention is preferably made up. from three thicknesses of material, the upper or outer arrangement thickness or ply being indicated by the numeral l and being of heavy drill or duck, the intermediate ply 'or thickness-being indicated by the numeral 2 and being preferably of heavy felt, and the under or inner -ply or'thickness bein 'indicated by thenumeral 3-and being of heavy canton flannel, this latter thickness being so arranged that 1ts nap surface or side will be presented to the table top when the cover isapplied to the top. The several thicknesses or plies are united to each other by lines of stitching indicated atv L and these lines of stitching 'are preferably arranged in two series extending parallel to each other and-the lines of stitching of the two series intersect each other and preferably at right angles, as clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.
By thus uniting the plies or thicknesses of 7 material comprising the cover the several thicknesses are prevented from becoming relatively displaced or .from becoming bulged.- The several thicknesses are also united by a line of stitching 5 extending concentric to the margin of the cover and 4 intersecting all 015 the linesof stitching 4 as will be apparent by reference to Fig. 4,
of the drawings. v
The hickness 1 projects at its marginal portion beyond the margins of the thicknesses 2 and 3"as clearly shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings so as to provide one side 6 of the hem in which the draw string above re ferred to is housed. A suitable piece of material 7, which may be of the same kind as the thickness 1, is united by the-line of stitching 5 at its innerfmarginal portion to the first mentioned thicknesses and with its said inner marginal portion lying immediately below the margin of the thickness 3. The outer edges of the portions 6 and 7 are turned in and united by a line of stitching 8 which serves to close the hem, this hem being indicated specifically by the numeral 9. By reference to Fig. 1 of the drawings it will be observed that the lines of stitching 4 extend beyond the line of stitching 5 and serve to unite the portion 6 of the thickness 1 to the outer marginal portions of the thicknesses 2 and 3 but that'the lines of stitching portions of the thicknesses 2 and 3. The
the draw string through a single eyelet the said ends may be drawn tightly without likelihood of the portion 7 of the cover be ing torn which, however, would probably occur if the draw string were led through two eyelets arranged in spaced relation with respect to each other. It will also be understood that the cover may be applied to table tops of various diameters and to tops supported upon pedestals of various sizes and 1 that when applied toa table having a relatively large pedestal the marginal portion of the cover may be drawn tightly about the pedestal with the draw string lying between the portion 7 and the under ply 3.
Having thus described the invention, What is claimed as new is:
l. A cover for table tops and the like comprising a body portion having an inner ply provided with a soft nap surface to contact the surface of'the table, an outer ply of heavy material, an intermediate ply, the said body portion having a marginal hem one side of which is formed by the marginal portion of the outer ply, the marginal portions of the inner and intermediate plies extending within the hem and all of the said plies being united adjacent their margins by a line of stitching extending in spaced relation to their outer edges and by lines of stitching radiating from the first mentioned line of stitching, and a piece of material securedat its outer marginal portion to the margin-of the outer ply and at its inner marginal portion secured by the first mentioned line of stitching.
2. A cover for table tops and the like comprising a body portion having an inner ply provided with a soft nap surface to contact the surface of the table, an outer ply of heavy material, an intermediate ply, the said body portion having a marginal hem one side of which is formed by the marginal portion of the outer ply, the marginal portions of the inner and intermediate plies extending within the hem and all of the said plies being united adjacent their margins by a line of stitching extending in spaced rela tion to their outer edges and by lines of stitching radiating from the first mentioned line of stitching, and a piece of material secured at its outer marginal portion to the margin of the outer ply and at itsinner marginal portion secured by the first mentioned line of stitching, all of the said plies being united throughout the intermediate or body portion of the cover by intersecting lines of stitching.
3. A cover for table tops and the like comprising a body portion consisting of an inner ply, an outer ply, and an intermediate ply, the said body portion having a marginal hem, one side of which is formed by the marginal body of one of the plies, the marginal portions of the other plies extending within the hem and all of said plies being united adjacent their margins by a line of stitching extending in spaced relation to their outer edges and by lines of stitching extending from the first-mentioned line of stitching, and a piece of material secured at its outer marginal portion to the margin of the first-mentioned ply and at its inner marginal portion secured by the first-mentioned line of stitching.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
