UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GOTTLIEB ALBERT GRUPP, or HEUBACH, GERMANY;
EDGE BINDING FOR COCONUT-FIBER MATS.
Application filed .Tune 21, 1925, Serial No. 117,488, and in Germanir September 25, 1925.
The present invention relates to an edge binding for woven and plaited mats such for example as coconut iber mats of the kind used as door mats, mats for gymnasiums 5 and the like. Mats of this kind are manufactured by weaving or plaiting, and the edge binding at the ends of the mats is formed by stopping back or drawing into the inatthe warp threads which project at each end of the mat. This edge binding causes therei'ore a loss of about l5 to 20 om. on all the warp threads of each mat as they serve merely to bind the mat and furthermore the drawing in of the binding warp threads is a particularly wearisome and time wasting operation. The greatest disadvantage of this edge binding as hitherto employed is however that it is by no means durable. On the contrary it works loose as $0 a rule even after a short time so that the weft threads lose their hold and the mat quickly becomes useless. f
The present invention consists in an edge binding formed 'from a U-shaped metal clamp, which is a'ixed to the ends of the mat to be protected by riveting. The clamp is provided on both limbs with inwardly and rearwardly pointing teeth, which enter the mat and securely clamp the strands. It may be conveniently made of steel so as to prevent its bending.
According to this invention the metal clamp may also be provided with a. loop or eyelet for hanging the mat up and with revolving handles which have hitherto been wanting on mats of this kind or could only be plaited on to the mat with diculty.
The advantages of the new edge binding are that in the manufacture of the mats it is no longer necessary to leave long warp threads protruding at the ends of the mat. On the contrary the mats may be woven in the form of an uninterrupted or continuous band and simply be cut on therefrom in the desired lengths. Neither a loss of warp threads nor any interruption in the work of weaving is therefore caused. The application oit' the metal clamps to the mat is considerably more simple `than the production of the edge binding by drawing in the ends. of the warp threads as hitherto practised. y
The ready punched and bent clamps are drawn over the ends of the mat to be protected and pressed down on the mat in a press, the rivet holes punched through and `edges bound by metal clamps according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a plan view of a clamp opened out flat,
Figure 3 shows the clamp in cross section as applied to a pile mat and Figure 4 is a perspective view of the clamp.
The new edge binding consists of a U- shaped metal clamp a, the limbs of which are provided with inwardly bent teeth turned inwards and backwards towards the bottom of the clamp. These clamps are pushed on to the end of the coco-fiber mat c and closed by the pressure of a press, whereby the teeth Z) of the clamp penetrate into the mat so that the warp threads CZ and the weft threads e are firmly gripped or clamped between the teeth. Rivets f prevent the clamp from springing open and connect it firmly to the mat. To enable the clamps to lit properly smooth edges la, must be woven at both ends of pile mats.
The clamps may also be provided with Y eyelets z' for hanging the mat up or with handles 7c pivoted to the mat. This latter provision is particularly necessary for mats for gymnasiums in which case the mat may applied to the underside of the mat longitudinally or diagonally and be attached to the two binding clamps and secured between them say by rivets to the mat itself.
As is plainly shown, particularly in Figs. 2 and 4, each of the teeth Z9 has a mat-penetrating portion in the kform of a slender,
`be strengthened by hoop iron which may be the met, and said clamp having teeth provided at its lnouth, which `teeth have mat penetating poi-tions in the forni of slender, needle-like points, and are gradually :1nd increasingly widened toward their bases, so
that the edges of the `teeth ure curved to pro-` vide co1d1eeeiyi1ig spaces between adjacent teeth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signa- 20 ture.
