METHOD OF ATTACHING SEPARATE BQRDERS TC HOUSEI-IOLD LINENS.
Application filed March 14, 19 23.
To all whom it may canoe m:
Be it known that I, Eynrinn FLORENCE JOHNSON, subject of theKing of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at ForestHills Gardens, Long Island, New York, have invented new vand useful Improvements in Methods of Attaching Separate Borders to Household Linens, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates generally to household linens, such astable and bed coverings, napkins or the like, and has specific reference to an article of manufacture and a method of producing the same by attaching separate borders thereto and by forming at the corners thereof what are generally known as miter-corners.
In the needlework art it has long been the practice to form a border by folding a marginal strip of the material back upon itself to the desired depth, thereafter turning under a small edge and stitching it longitudinally thereof to the underlying botyportion. Hem-stitching or other similar embroidery is generally included along the stitched edge of the border. To change the direction of the straight band or border to form a miter-corner, the'band is cut at an abrupt angle, sacrificing a triangular piece, and thereby bringing the cut edges together and a line of stitching is run along the diagonal joint. This method of making borders is very satisfactory under general conditions, i. e. where the body and border are made of an integral piece of material, but when the condition arises where the border is to be of a color diiferent from that of the body portion, the marginal strips must nee essarily be stamped or dyed before the border is folded. The process of applying color to this marginal strip is more or less complicated and may only be performed under certain conditions, and as there are but few operators skilled in the art, production is curtailed and the cost of the finished article necessarily increased. V
lVith the foregoing in mind it is the principal object of my invention to employ a method of attaching a separate border to a center body portion of the material and to join and fold the abutting ends of the border at the corners to give the general appearance of a miter-corner. I accomplish this result by a method hereinafter described which gives to the border all of the characteristics of the regularly made folded border Serial No. 625,1(59.v
without sacrificing durability of construction or neatness in appearance.
The present invention is illustratively exemplified in the accompanying drawings, in which, Figure 1 is a fragmentary view of one corner of a cloth showing a finished border as it appears according to my invention; Figure 2, is a View similar to Figure l with parts shown broken away to disclose the fold of the border at the corner to form the miter; Figure 8, is a sectional View taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1: and Figures 4 and 5 are perspective views or the corners of the article showing the ends of the borders attached together and the method of folding the same to produce the miter-joint; Figure 6 is a substantially sectional view on the lines 66 of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawing, lOdenotes the body or center portion of material having a hem-stitched marginal line 11 disposed between the body portion and a narrow border 12.
The border proper, designated 13, is attached to the narrow border 12 and comprises a separate strip of material 13, 13 etc., for each edge of the body portion 10, each strip being formed by folding a single straight piece back upon itself along a longitudinal center line 14 and thereafter turning in the free edges, as shown in Figure 8. The folded pieces are attached to the narrow border 12 by placing the folded free edges of the border on opposite sides of the narrow border 12 and along a line coincident with the outer edge of the hem-stitching 11. A line of stitching 15 is then run along the inside edge of the border 10, an operation which attaches both free edges of the border together and to the narrow border 12. At the corners the border strips 13, 13 etc., are cut off perpendicularly and project beyond the intersecting points of the lines of emstitching 11 a distance equal to their width. The opposite ends of each border strip are designated a and b, respectively. The two perpendicularly cut ends a and b of adjacent borders 13 and 13 are then brought together so as to lie parallel to one another and to slightly overlap, whereupon a line of stitching 16 is run through the two pieces, as clearly illustrated in Figure 4. The next step consists in causing one of the ends, designated a, of a border strip 13, i. e. at the line of stitching 16, to be disposed between the layers of material of the other folded '7 border piece 13, so as to bring the said end a againstthe folded longitudinal edge 14 of the said other strip 13, which projects at right angles thereto Asthe end isbeing placed in position the attached ends, designated b, of the other border piece 13 Will follow the end av and in doing so the layers of material Will fold back upon themselves along a diagonal line extending from the intersecting pointof the hem stitching '11 to the vertices of the right angle corner. The operation is completed by runnlng a line of stitching 17 along-this diagonal line of the 'miter-corner. V e g 7 It will be apparent in view of the method;
fold,,therebyfirmlyattaching the sections of the miter-joint together and giving the finished appearance of the "regularly" made of'attaching and mitering borders described above, that such borders may not-only be made up of separated strips of colored-ma}- terial, but may be further brought into contrast With-the center or body portion 10 by employing materials of different texture and design, the latter feature is particularly Vufacture of napkins or analogous articles,
tially as described." 7 V r g 3. As a new'and improved article of manwhich consists in attaching separate strips of longitudinally folded materiahto the edges "of a center piece of material, there after attaching the adjacent {rends f of'the' strips together, and then folding the layers of one strip back upon themselves-and along V i a diagonal line to cause thejend of the other strip'tobe disposed betweenthe foldedends and against the line of'the' longitudinal foldof thefirst strip.
2. A method of attaching'lborders, and
mitering the corners of thesame in the'man-" eufacture of napklns or analogous art cles,
as claimed iiiclaiin'l wllichfurther consists the corner to each other and, to the interposed portion of the other strip.,:s'ubstan ufacture, a bordered articleghavingt-he bor der thereof made ofysepa-rate str ps vof mathe reof'and the inner edges attached to the body on oppositesides thereofi'the said strips projecting beyondthe corners of the body and being attached together at-their ends at each corner, onestrip being folded inwardly along a'diagonal lineand the end of the other strip projecting din-a1 fold of the'firststrip.
