METAL FABRIC.
Application fi led January as, 1924. Serial No..es9,5s7.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it lmown'that I, IRVING R. LEDERER, a citizen of the United States, residing at t V Providence, in the county of Providence and I State of Rhode Island, h'aveinvented cer tain new and'u'seful Improvements in Metal Fabrics, of which the following. is a specification. 1
This invention relates to an improved con-fl struction of metal fabric; and has for its objectto-provide a narrow metal fabric having a flexible body portion formed-of intermeshing wire or strands and bordered by a flexible member which is attached to the margins of the fabric in such a' way as to prevent its strands from raveling.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a face view representing one construction of fabric in which the strands are woven together with their ends secured to marginal links to hold them in proper position in the fabric;
Fig. 2 is a face view showing the fabric which is formed by intermeshing helical coils of wire, the ends of the coils being con nected to a chain construction which forms the margins of the fabric Fig. 3 is a sectional edge view approximately on line 33 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a detail showing a single helical coil, a plurality of which may be interlocked or interwoven to form the fabric.
It is found in the construction of narrow metal fabrics which are usually made of precious metal and more particularly adapted for use as bracelets, chains, belts and many other purposes, that unless their edges are formed with a selvage by bending the wires in some way to lock the strands from becoming disengaged from each other, that it is desirable to secure a strip or member along this unfastened edge to perform the function of a selvage; and to accomplish this in a simple and practical way which will not destroy the flexibility of the fabric, I have soldered to the marginal edges of the fabric the links of a metal chain which pertime provides a fabric which is extremely handsome and attractive in appearance and serves many useful purposes; and the following is a detailed description of one con.- struction of fabric by which these advantageous results may be accomplished With reference to the drawings, 10 designates the body of the fabric which in Fig. 1,
is shown as being constructed by weaving strips .or strands of wire 11 together. The
flexible do not detrimentally affectthe flexibility of the fabric.
In other instances the wire fabric is constructed by intermeshing or interweaving helical coils such as coils 14 shown in Fig. 4, to form a fabric such as that shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the coils of such a fabric having a tendency to work endways when the fabric is flexed if not locked in the fabric, and in order to lock these coils in the fabric without bending the ends of the coils, I have soldered a chain to the edges of the fabric,
which effectually secures the coils in their proper positions therein and at the same time does not detrimentally afiect the'flexibility of the fabric.
This fabric when constructed of these coils must necessarily have a substantial thickness and in the attaching of the links of the chain to this fabric, I have preferably set these links at right angles to each other, as illustrated in Fig. 3, and attached the opposite edgesof each adjacent link to the opthereto to form the desired finished surface 1 on the face of the fabric.
The strands of these fabrics may be made of any of the precious metals, the combinations of the different colors of the precious metals rendering the fabric handsome and attractive in appearance; and the border.
formed'by the chain performs the function of locking the strands in their proper positions and at the same time materially adds to the attractive and novel appearance of the fabric.
The foregoing description is directed sole- 1y towards the construction illustrated, but I desire it to be understood that'I reserve the privilege of resorting to all, the meehanical changes to which the device is sus-" ceptible, the invention being defined and limited only by the terms of the appended claims. a g m I claim:
-1. An article of manufacture "comprising a flexible metallic fabric body, and a flexible edging-formed of connected links, a portion:
of each link being permanently secured to a. contiguous portion of the edge of the fabric body.
2; An article of manufacture comprising a flexible metallic fabricbody, and a flexible edging formed of connected links, one edge the fabric body,
of each link being permanently secured to a contiguous portion of the edge of the fabric having a body portion of intermeshing strands of Wire, and a chain having its alternate links arranged substantially at right angles to each other in cross-section, said links being soldered alternately to the opposite edge to its thickness.
In testimony whereof I affix my sig- IRVING R. LEDERER.
