MULTIPLY I lfl"1313133570YEN FABRIC FOR COLLARS AND CUFFS.-

Application filed August 15,1921. Serial No. 492,500.

Tocll whom it mayconcem:

Be itknown that I, FRANK B. Twmmo, a citizen of the United States, residing at Troy, in the county of Rensselaer and State 5 of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Multiply Interwoven Fabrics for Collars and Cuffs, of which the following is'a specification.

For many years collars have been made of a plurality of separate plies and fillers, each aply being out according to the desired-pattern, and the plies then associated andstitched" together at their edges, so that the various piles and fillers are connected to;

gether only at their edges along the lines of stitching. j The neck band and the fold over top portion of the so called turn down 001- lar are then connected together by means of rows of stitching. f

This method of manufacturing a collar necessitates many handlings of the various plies, consequently there are many manufacturing operations incident to collars as; heretofore made, each operation adding to the cost of manufacture.

One of the objects of my invention is .to reduce, very materially, the number of operations necessar to produce a collar. A further ob ect of my invention is to produce a soft fold over collar from a single piece of multiply propriate thickness or stiffness. A further obi'ect of my invention is to produce a soft fo d overcollar from a single thickness of multiply interwoven material of appropriate stiffness or thickness, having a narrow thickenedcross sectional area extending/fnthe direction of the warp threads.

invention consists further of a multi- 40 ply interwoven fabric for h'avin woven therein; additional warp threa s in acoxn'paratively narrow zone.

My'invention consists further .in' a multiply interwoven fabric for collars and cuffs" consisting of two panels connected inte grally by a comparatively-narrow portion havingan increased number of warp threads. orgthe purposes of illustrating my ininterwoven fabric, of apcollars and cuffs,

" one panel forming the neck portion, another vention have shown the fabric in the drawing as being madein the shape of an elongated strip just sufficiently Wide to enable one to cut a collar lengthwise therefrom, but, of course, it will beunderstood thatrthe fabric may be woven any suitable width from which collars may be out economically.

In the drawings. Figure 1 is a top plan view of' the fabric embodying myv invention.

Figure 2 isa vertical section on the line 22 of Figure 1, on a larger scale- The multiply interwoven fabric-is woven according. to the regular practice now in vogue in weaving multiply interwoyen fabrics, the only change in the weaving of the fabric being thatat a predetermined point the operatorintroduces a greater number of warp threads for a predetermined width in the formation of the fabric,-whereby the cross sectional area of the fabric is increased in thickness in the direction of the warp threads in a comparatively narrow zone so. that after the collar is cut from my improved fabric with the panel 1 asthe neck band and the .panel 2 as the fold over top portion, the increased thickened zone 3 funcl, tions as 'a guide line for the folding of the collanm The edgesof the collar, after being cut from'the. fabric, may be finished in any man-' ner found most desirable by the manufacturer. I

I do not claim herein the collar made from the fabric as that constitutes the subject matter of another application for atent filed by meaAugust 15, 1922, Seria No. 492,499. g y WhatIclaimis:" 1 I A multiply interwoven fabric for collars-.- comprising panels interwoven in one piece,

the turn down portion of the collar, and a comparatively narrow zone having an'increased number of war threads, the edge of said zone defininglthe old line of the collar.
