TEXTILE FABRIC SIMULATING ANIMAL FUR AND IN THE METHOD 0] IPRODUCING SAME.

Application filed March 11, 1925. Serial No. 14,601.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, SIDNEY a citizenof the United States, and a resident of New York,'in the'county and State of New York, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Textile Fabrics Simmlating Animal Fur and in the Methods of Producing Same, of which the following is a specification. p

The invention relates to pile'fabrics made in simulation ofanimal fur so ornamented as'to resemble the pelts of animals sewn to-' gether, and a method of producing the same.

The objects of my invention are to provide a textile fabric with the appearance of pelts of animals sewn together, as in a fur blanket, said fabric woven in a continuous piece with a demarcation between the surfaces simulating the different pelts, said demarcations to be of a permanent character and offering possibilities for variation in color'.

The nature of my invention will appear sufficiently clear by noting the accompanying description and drawings; in which description and drawings I illustrate a preferred form of my invention, like reference characters indicating corresponding parts. Figure 1 represents a plan view of the surface of a pile fabric, with the furry hairs projecting from the back of said fabric and firmly embodied in the same, as in the skin of an" animah The lines clernarcation betw-eenthe pelts of the aniand the surfaces 1) represent thepelts of the'lf' animals. The fabric is chemically treated at the lines ai by dye or the like in such a way as'to diffei'entiate the surfaces so treated outlining the pelts, from thesurfaces representing the-pelts; as, for instance, a chemical-may .be Sprayedonthe goods on put on with a brush through a stencil to achieve the from the spirit .of my invention. Figure 2 represents thesamesurface after ure 3-represents a. cross-sectional view o the,fabr1c after it has been'ornamented, the dark portions at (1 representing the lines of demarcation between the pelt-s of animals. In reducing my invention 'to practice, I select different yarns for the pile of the fab-'. desire to I "figliiglbllat'e, and I select the yarn for the back BLU'MENTH-AL,

a. represent the plying the coloring medium or ame effect without departing of the goods and arrange picks in keeping with the yarn selected to simulate the fur of the animal.

After the pile fabric is woven, I dye the surface-of the pile or sometimes the goods in the line design representing the demarcations of the pelts peripheral to the inner areas representing the size and shape of the pelt that I am simulating. I sometimes do-this with an air brush spray, and

sometimes with a stenciland brush, or with a roller, which processes are well known to those skilled in the art, although said procthe number of the back of esses' have not'hitherto been used in combination with a formation of animal pelts representing fur blankets as described in my invention. Thisx-method of dyeing fabrics representing the joining of the pelts of animals is capable of considerable variation and may be combined with certain designs representing the heads or tails of the anima'ls, or with certain other colored portionswithout vention.

In addition to ornamentin'g the fabric as described to represent the peripheral portions of the pelts of animals and to give the effect of the pelts of animals sewn together departing from the spirit ofmy ininto a fur blanket, the innerareas of the pelts are also ornamented in different colors and designs further to resemble the animal I desire to simulate, or with fanciful animal designs. a

n will be evident that while i have made a straight narrow line intermediatethe areas representing the pelts of the animals, yet a =vignette or blending color effect could also be used, depending upon'the method of apupon the action of the coloring medium, parting from the spirit of my invention.

It will also be evident thatwhile I have described and illustrated my invention in a preferred form, ceed in theexact times dye the peripheral surface areas first and sometimes otherwise ornament the fabric in addition to the demarcation line referred to; and it is, therefore, not my desire to be limited as to any'particular method except as included in my claims, for. the

essence of my invention is the coloring of fabrics to resemble the pelts of animals sewn together as in a fur blanket.

without de-' it is not necessary to pro- I order specified, as I some- What I claim is:

1. A method of producing a fabric simulating a fur blanket comprising the providing of a pile fabric and coloring the same to resemble the pelts of animals sewn together.

2. A method of producing a pile fabric simulating a fur blanket comprising 'the providing of a pile fabric and dyeing the same in a design peripheral to surfaces resembling the pelts of animals.

3. A method of producing a pile fabric simulating a fur blanket comprising the-pro- I viding of a pile fabric, coloring the same in areas simulating the pelts of animals, and

chemically treating the fabric in a design peripherally adjacent to said surfaces simulating the pelts of animals, the whole having the appearance of animal skins sewn together as in a fur blanket.

'4. A method of producing a pile fabric simulating a fur blanket comprising the providing of a pile fabric and the printing thereon of designs resembling the pelts of animals with peripheral areas intermediate the said designs to simulate the shape of the pelts, the Whole having the eifect of pelts of animals sewn together as in a fur blanket. 5. A textile'fabric simulating a fur blanket comprising a Woven fabric With areas simulating the pelts of animals and a colored peripheral design adjacent to said areas and intermediate the same, the Whole having the appearance of animal skins sewn together as in a fur blanket.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name this 3d day of March, 1925.
