FABB'IC.

Application area mich 20,l 1924. serial no. 700,888.

To all'fwhom z't may aoncernr Be it known that I, OscAR LIoN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, 5 in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Fabric, of

which the following is a full, clear, and

exact description.

This invention relates to fabrics and has for an object to provide an improved fabric known on the market as chifl'on and presents a structure having improved Stiffening members at spaced intervals. i

Another object of the invention is to' provide a fabric of a chiffon type with Sections formed of a material adapted to absorb a greater quantity of finishing liquid than'the other part so as to present a stifer construction when dried.

In the accompanying draw'ing- Figure 1 is a plan vlew of a small portion of a piece of fabric disclosing an embodiment of the invention.

Figure ,2 is an enlarged fragmentary Sectional view through Figure 1, approximately on line 2-2.

Fi re 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 but showmg the fabric be'fore it is treated with a finishin liquid.

In pro ucing chiifon to be used in forming bows for funeral bouquets and other similar purposes, a Silk rlbbon has been heretofore provided, which is provided near its opposite edges with closer woven Sections in order to present a pleasing appearance and at the same time somewhat stifl'en the article in order that it will remain in Shape an appreciable time. As the flowers must be `moistened from time to time, the ribbon also becomes moistened and looses its Shape. In forming the ribbon, thesame may be made in one continuous strip or may be madel of any desired width and divided up into separate ribbons with tightly woven Sections on each side of each separate ribbon cut or torn from the original piece of fabric. In the present invention, the fabric is woven 'in the usual manner so as to provide a body 1- of fabric of usual construction and ornamental Sections 2 on each side of the ribbon. Heretofore, the entire piece of chiifon was made from Silk whereas in the construction shown in Figure 1, the .body section 1 is made fro1`n Silk while the; various warp threads 3 forming the principal part oflthe Sections 2, are formed from cotton. These cotton threads 3 are preferablyof the same size as the warp threads 3' used in the section 1.

iDuring the manufacture of the chifl'on, it ma be made of a certain width as shown 1n igure `1 or may be made in any' desired width with the Sections 2 distributed so that the finished piece of fabric may =be cut or torn into strips or separate ribbons and each 05 strip or separate ribbon will appear as shown in Figure 1. Either before or after the fabric has been cut or torn into strips or separate ribbons, it is passed through a finishing machine which applies finishing fluid thereto in order to give it the desired feel and the desired stiifness. Where all parts of the fabric are of Silk, there will be an equal .absorption of the finishing fluid but where the Warp threads 3 of section 2 are formed of cotton, there will be a greater absorption by these cotton threads.

When the fabric is dried after the finishing operation, the cotton Warp threads 3 will be somewhat larger than the other Warp threads of |the fabric as indicated in Figure 2, said extra size being caused by the extra amount of finishing fluid absorbed. This extra supp' of finishing fluid will cause an extra sti ening of the Sections 2 and will results in causing the finished article vto remain in the formation of a bow or other structure even though subjected somewhat toA moisture by lreason of the extra quantity of fluid in the threads 3. It is, of course, evident that the ribbon could be made of any width and that the Sections 2 could be madel of any width and any number used without de arting from the spirit. of the invention.

at I claim is:

1. A strip of fa'bric formed with a plurality of Stifl'ening Sections, and a finishing fluid arranged thereon, said stifl'ening sections being formed of material capable of absorbing said finishing` fluid to a greater extent than 'the remaimng material.

2. A piece of fabric formed with a body 'of Silk and ornamental reinforcing means of material capable of absorbing finishing fluid to a eater extent than Silk, and a coating of finishing fluid arranged on the silk body and on the ornamental reinforcement.

3. A fabric, comprising a silk'body,`stifening and reinforcing members of cotton, and a finishing fluid covering the entire fab- 0 ric, said members of ootton absorbing said finishing flud to a greater extent than the Silk body.

4:. A fabrc, comprisng a Silk body, re-

5 inforcing Sections arranged on each side of the body formed of cotton, and a coating of finishing material arranged on the body' and the ootton reinforoing members, said finishinfl' coating being of a material capable of bemg absorbed to a greater extent by cotton 10 than by slk Whereby the cotton reinforcing members Will present a stilfier construction than the Silk body.
