SERVIETTE 0R CATAMENIAL SACK.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 2, 1920.
Application fi1ed June 22, 1918. Serial No. 241,375.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL BOTTOMLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and usefuLImprovement in Serviettes or; Catamenial Sacks, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in a serviette or catamenial sack, with particular reference to a) sack embodying a pad and a tubular casing therefor formed by securing the selvages of a length of fabric with a draw string.
The principal object of the invention is to incorporate the draw strin in the selvages of the casing so that it w1ll easily andconveniently be found when it is desired to pull the string from the casing.
A further aim resides in alternately weaving the draw string into the selvages for a distance and then floating it so that the floated portions may readily be grasped to "pull the string.
woven or large mesh strip of fabric that is folded longitudinally and has its edge portions or selvages secured by the draw string The pad 3 of absorbent material is disposed within the tubular casing and when it becomes necessary to remove the pad the same is accomplished by pulling the string from the casing.
In the case of ordinary draw strings the ends are difiicult to find and pick up. To overcome the objections to the ordinary draw strings, I weave the draw string at spaced points, as at 4, in to the selvages whereby to provide free and unattached.
In Weaving, the yarn or draw string is carried into the loom so as to be incorporated with the casing in the following relation. The draw string is first woven into the material of the casing at one end for a distance of two inches. The string'is then floated, that is, not woven into the material but left free thereof, for a distance of three.
inches. It is next woven into the fabric selvages a distance of twelve inches, a distance preferably as great as the length of the absorbent pad, again floated three inches and then woven four inches, floated three inches, woven twelve inches, floated three inches, woven four inches and so on throughout the length of the tube woven in the loom. The continuous length of casings is then severed midway of each length of the four inch weave so that each casing will have two inches of Woven draw string at each end beyond the floated portion and a twelye inch weave intermediate the floated" portions. Thus, the casings can be very cheaply and expeditiously manufactured or woven on a loom.
The pads are inserted in-the casings in a manner somewhat similar to the filling of sausage skins, the long woven casing with its incorporated draw string being gathered over the nozzle of a machine adapted to force the pads into the casing at predetermined. or regular intervals as the casing is drawn from off the nozzle. I
The draw string which is preferably colored so as to readily distinguish it from the fabric, is wholly for the purpose of destroy? ing' the pad and casing separately. The floated portions permit the fingers to quickly find and grasp those portions of the draw string for pulling the string out from the casing whereupon the latter may be laid open and the pad contents destroyed.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is-- A bandage comprising a pad, an enveloping casing formed of netting having a pair of arallel threads along and adjacent each of 1ts opposite edges, said threads being of greater diameter than the body threads of the netting and said edges being brought together to form the enveloping casing. in In testimony whereof I have signed my such a manner that the threads connecting name to this specification in the presence of said parallel threads will be intermeshed, two subscribing witnesses.
and a drawstring passed through said inter- SAMUEL BOTTOMLEY. 5 meshed threads, parallel with said enlarged Witnesses parallel threads, thus defining the seam and ADA E. HAGERTY,
the positionof the drawstring. J. A. MILLER.
