FRINGE AND METHOD OF MAIUIN'G.
I Application filed September 1, 1922. Serial No. 585,728.
Be it known that -I, RALPH Hrnonfmrr, a citizen-of the United States: residing at Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and State of Illinois, have invented certain new. and useful Improvementsin Fringe and Methodsof Making,of which the following is a, specification.
.ThlS invention relates to textile" fringes 1 of the'general character employed for ornamental purposes and aims to provide a novel textilefringe and an improved method of one whichw inakingsame.
Fringes of this general character have heretofore, as far as. I am aware, been woven. My present invention, however, aims to provide a knitted fringe which will be strong and durable, as well as attractive in appearance, which will possess the elasticity inherent in knitted structures, and which is not resentin-woven fabrics, and i be relatively soft and flexible and ---which can be economically manufactured. V v
Other objects and advantages of this 1nvention should be. readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference 'to the following description when considered iruconnection with the accompanymg rawm Referring to tdfe drawings;
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary face view of a fringe fabric made in accordance with my invention;
Fig. 2is an edge view thereof;
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 on an enlarged scale; and
Fig. 4 is a similar further enlarged A fringe manufactured in accordance with my invention is knit on a flat bed machine, the needles on the opposite beds beutilized in predetermined SGXZEIGHOB, as wi be explained. The fringe fa ric comprises two or more knitted strips, indicated generally on 1 the drawin by reference fragmentary view still "characters 5 and 6, the strips being spaced more knitted webs, and for purposes of illustration, I have shown the strlp 5 as com- 6 comrising three webs while the stri p b d number prises but one we Any desire one or more webs, each consisting opposed plies, the webs bfilng Joins of webs,- however, may be incorporated in a strip which forms the body or fabric portion of the fabric from an edge or edges of which the unknitted yarns 7 project.
In knitting the fringe and starting at one side of the machine, a. predetermined number of needles on one bed are operated in sequence to produce the ply 8, the opposed needles on the opposite bed remain idle during this operatlon. The yarn is then carried across to the opposite bed where it is acted upon by a series of needles on that bed to produce the ply 9, the o posed needles on the first bed remaining i le during this operation, whereupon the yarn is returned to the first bed and knitted to produce the ply 11 and is then knitted by one or more needles operating in alternation from the opposite beds to form a chain or binding stitch 12. The yarn is then floated a re determined distance alon the beds, pro ucing the unknitted yarns whereupon at a predetermined distance from the stri. 5 a chain or binding stitch 13 is produce and then the ply 14 is formed. This operation is continued across the machine, producing alternate knitted; strips and floating yarn portions, each of any desired width, the strips comprising as many webs as may be desirable. Upon the return course the same needles are utilized, thus adding another course to each of the plies 14:, 11, 9 and 8 in succession, and the yarn may be carried back and forth across the machine and lmit into these plies as many times as may be desirable before changing. I have found, however, that for practical purposes four courses knit in each web before changing produce a very satisfactory structure.
When a change is desired the needles which were previously utilized are held idle while the opposed needles which were reviously idle are thrown into operation, l'he yarn is, therefore, first knitted to form the ply 15, then crossed over to the opposite bed to form the ply 16, thence back forming the ply 17, then incorporated in the chain 7 12, then floated to the next where the ply 18 is knit, and so on across t e machine, the yarn being knit alternately by needles on t e opposite beds and being caused to float between the knitted stri s.
The knitted strips, there ore, comprise of two together or other stitch formations. A fringe fabric thus formed comprises spaced double ply knitted strips each consisting of one or more webs, the strips being connected by floating yarns. These yarns are then cut at any desired point between adjacent strips, leaving the yarns attached at one end to a knitv ted strip and free at the other en d'so as '724, filed September 7, 1922.
to form the fringe proper.
Viewing F1 g. 1, the yarns may be out along the line a, at intermediate the knitted strips, producing at the selvedge of the fabric a single edge fringeand between the selvedges a plurality of double edge fringes. If preferred, however, the yarns may be cut close to one edge of each strip, thereby producing a series of single edge'fringes; The fabric strips themselves and the method of producin the same are not claimed herein as the fahric per se forms the subject'matter of my co-pending application, SerialNo. 585,-
I claim: 7
1. A knitted elastic fringe consisting of a knitted body comprising, a. plurality of interlocked knitted plies, and a fringe at each edge thereof formed by the yarns of the body extending innnknitted condition beyond said edges. 1
the strips and adapted to be severed between the strips.
4. A fringe fabric comprising, a plurality of knitted strips spaced apart and connected together by the yarns of which the strips are composed extending in unknit condition between the strips and adapted to be severed so as to project freely fr'omtheedgesof the strips.
5. The method of making a knitted-fringe which consists in alternately knitting double ply fabric strips and floating the yarns of which the strips are formed to thereby produce knitted strips connected by floating yarns adapted to be severed so as to thereby produce individual stri s of fringe.
6. The method of ma ing a knitted fringe, which consists in knitting double ply fabric strips, interlocking themarginal stitches of' the plies of each stri floating the yarns between the strips an severing said float-- ing yarns.
