PADZJING- FUR THE COVERING OF FLATWORK IRONERS.

Application filed July 21,

To all whom it ma/y concern.

Be it known that l, WILLIAM l. WEAVER,

a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Camden, State of 5 New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Padding for the Covering of Flctwork Ironers, of which the following is a specification.

In fiat work ironcrs wherein on endless apron is employed to effect the propulsion end ironing of Hot work, it is essential and desirable to employ .in conjunction with such endless apron, a sheet of paddingor textile fabric for the purpose intended, which should possess certain characteristics, since it is essential that the inner plies of the fabric be loosely bound so as to form a spongy core whilethe outside plies must be more firmly bound and yet at the some time so woven as to permit an easy flexure of the isbric as e whole, which must have sufiicient strength to resist any tensile strains to which it may be subjected in use in passing over the rolls or colenders of the, flat work ironer.

To the above ends my invention consists of a novel construction of multiply pudding or' fabric in which the layers or plies oi the fabric are so joined, that the outer plies ofthe fabric will be firml bound, while the inner plies will be less rmly bound so as to form a spongy core or interior, t geby producing o {Esbric or pudding which: is

especially adopted to the purpose named.

For the purpose illustrating my inv'cntion, I have shown in the accompanying drawing a, form thereof which is at present preferred by me, since it will give in practice satisfactory and reliable results, although it is to be understood that the various instrumentalities of which my invention consists can be variously arranged and oranized and that my invention is not limited to the precise arrangement and organization of these instrumentalities as herein shown and described.

ignated the warp threads from top to bottom of 1;; novel fabric as A, B, G, D, E, F, G and and the filling or wefts between said warps, as 1 to 18 inclusive, the position of said filling'with respect to the warps being readily understood fromthe drawings, the fillings 1, 5 and 18 being positioned be tween the warps G and H. The filling 2 is positioned between the worm E and F.

The fillings 3, and ore positioned between the warps A and B. The fill v 4 is positioned between the warps D and The fillings 6 and '8 are positioned between the warps H and F. The filling 'Z is 'posi tioned between the warps G and F. The fillciln 9 is positioned between the warps C an between the. warps A and C. The fillin 12 is positioned between the warps C on B. The filling 14 is positioned bet-ween the warps E and F. The fillin 15 is positioned between the warps Eond- The fillin 16 is positioned between the warps D on E. The filling 17' is positioned between the warps D and (3. 7

It; will be apparent from the foregoing that the fillings 1 and 2, 3 andl' and 5, 9 and 10-, 8 and l2, l4 and 18 and lfi and 16 are positioned in substantially vertical align". ment. 1 t

The filling 7' is in staggered position with respect to the fillings 6 and 8, and the fillings 8 end 12 are in staggered position with respect to the fillings 11 and 13.

It will be apparent from the foregoing that a four ply fabric constructed in accordance with my invention will have the outer plies firmly" bound together while the inner plies will be less firmly bound, so as to form a spongy'core or interior especially adapted for thepurpose stated.

It will be understood novel fabric onpadding which I have produced, I

n will be evident to thoseskllled 1n the outside plies are firmly bound, while the in nor plies are less firmly bound, forminge; spongy core having the reqcomparatively uisite tensile strength, the whole padding,

I are aware thetchanges may he made in W preobicing this invention by those skilled in the art, since it is evident that the plies of the fabric may be inereesed or diminished or oizherwise associated to form-a fabric result ing in the principles of. invention. f l Claims: 1
