To all wiwm't'taay coucemii Be itknowngthatl, Lou s KNEE, a citizen of the UnitedQStates, and residentof New York city, borough of Manhattan,' in the county of NewYork and State of New York, have iii*vented'cer'tain 'new and useful 1mprovements in Felt WeltsL an'd Methods of iaking Same for Gloves and the like, of

which the following is a specification. The object of my invention is to provide welts adapted to be sewed in the seams of V which. shall be strong and durable,

manufacturedand used, and cheap to manufacture.

1 then pointed out in the claims.

gloves and other articles of apparel and readily My invention comprises novel details of improvement and combinations of parts that will'be more fully hereinafter set forth and- Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein,

Figure 1 is a partly broken side view of a roll of fabric mounted on a core from which a series of welts are to be out while on the core;

' Fig. 2 is a partly broken side view illustrating a completed series of welts on the core; 7

Fig. 3 is an end view of a portion of Fig. 2; r

Fig. 4 is a detail perspective illustrating a portion of several welts upon the core, and

Fig. 5 is a sectional view illustrating the manner of attaching the fabric on the core to be wound for making the welts.

The numeral 1 indicates a core shown in the form of a tube, which may be of paper,

pasteboard or the like, adapted to support a series of welts side by side. In making the welts a strip of fabric, such as felt, of suitable width and length, indicated at 2 (Figs. 1 and 5), is first wound upon core 1, the inner end of such strip being suitably secured upon the core, as by winding the end portion of the strip around the core and gluing the parts together, as indicated at 3, whereby a fabric roll is mounted upon the core to a suitable diameter according to the length and thickness of the fabric. By preference, the felt, before being woundupon the core, is first treated with a suitable coating preparation a, such as by applying.

' port the latter side by side.

Specification or Letters latenti Patented June 26, iil iltt hpplication fil ed December 20, 1916. Serial No. 137,950.- v r o strengthen the latter and render it the more winding of paper, indicated at 4, the overlapping ends-5 of which paper are glued together. The roll of covered fabric thus formed is then cut transversely by suitably --spaced slits/7, to produce welts 6 of suitable width located in series side by side upon the core, but the. core is not out through whereby it remains within the series of welts to sup- The fabric may be cut through the inner winding that is upon the 'core (Fig. 5), but without cutting through the core, upon any well known cloth cutting machine adapted for such purpose. Vf-hen, the roll} is cut to form the series of welts, the paper covering a will also be correspondingly cut but will remain surrounding each coil of welt, so that each convolution of fabric on the core forming a welt will be retained by the paper covering from unwinding.

When the welts are to be used, the core 1, carrying the series of welts 6 that are located side by side thereon, may be placed uppn any suitable support or spindle, and then the welts may be drawn or unwound from the core successively as required, the covering 4 on each welt first being removed therefrom to permit access to the free end of the welt, the coverings on the several unused welts retaining the latter from unrolling until used.

My improved welts, when made of felt convolutions as described, maybe of considerable continuous length, and are adapted to be sewed in the seams of gloves, mittens and analogous articles of apparel, in a well known manner of applying welts to such articles, and said welts may be rapidly ap- Said welts are economically manufaetured owing to their extended lengths, and are much cheaper than leatli'er welts which have been sewed the seams of gloves, mittens and the like.

It will be apparent that since a series of may all at once 'be placed with the core upon a support or spindle, to there remain until all the welts are used, thus reducing the handling'of welts to a m n m m,

compared with that required where each -welt is supplied as a single unit, serving thereby to reduce the cost in using welts.

Having now described my invention what I claim is 1. As a new article of manufacture, the

combination of an integral core, with aseries of independent \velts comprising single fabric convolutions side by side upon said core.

2. As a new article of manufacture, the combination of an integral core, with a series of independent welts comprising single fabric convolutions side by side upon said core, and bindings secured around said welts.

3. As a new article of manufacture, the combination of a core, with a strip of felt wound thereon and slit transversely ap proximately to the core, the core being um severed. I

4. As a new article of manufacture, the combination of a core, with a strip of felt wound thereon, a binding secured around such winding, said binding and winding beingslit in spaced relation transversely to the core, the core being'unsevered.

5. The method of making fabric welts consisting in winding a strip of fabric upon a core, winding a binding covering upon said wound fabric and securing the binding thereon, and slitting said binding and the fabric transversely approximately to the core without cutting through the core, providing a series of welts wound side-by side upon the core.
