TEXTILE FABRIC.

Application fled Qctober 4, 1027. Serial Io. 223,900.-

, My invention relates to a new and useful textile fabric and relates more particularly to a woven fabric which wil have the appearance and general characteristics of hind crocheted fabric used in hats and the li e.

The object'of my invention is to provide an inexpensive loom-woven textile fabric so constructed as not'only to have the salient o appearance and structural characteristics of hand crocheted fabrics of hats, but which will also possess the same inherent qualities j of resiliency and body that hand chrocheted fabrics ssess.

With the above objects in view, my invention consists broadly of the provision of a composite weft thread comprising a core strand, a relatively stifi body strand wrapped loosely around said core strand in generall spiral formation and a binder threa wrapped around said core thread and said body thread thereby to bind the latter to the former at intervals, and suitable warp threads interlaced with said weft thread to produce a fabric of novel structure and characteristics.

' With the above objects in view, my invention consists more particularly in forming a fabric of three sets of warp threads of any 80 suitable material, such as cellulose and a composite weft or filling thread formed by a novel combination of cotton, artificial straw and artificial silk, suitably twisted.

For the purpose of illustrating my inven- 36 tion I have shown in the accompanying drawings one form thereof which is at present preferred by me, since the same has been found in practice to give satisfactory and reliable results, although it is to be understood 40 that the various instrumentalities of which my' invention consists can be variously arranged and organized and that my invention is not limited to the precise arrangement and organization of the instrumentali- 4 ties as herein shown and described.

In the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters represent like parts:

Figure 1 represents a somewhat diagrammatic-plan view, on a greatly enlarged scale,

of the fabric of my invention.

Figure 2 represents a somewhat diagrammatic plan view, on a further enlarged scale, of the composite or filling'weft ofZm'y novel fabric. I f

To form the fabric of my novel construction I provide the loom with two sets of heddles, one set of heddles to form the shed and aset of doup heddles to carry a doup war The regular harness is threaded with mere y two sets of warp threads 1 and 2,'of a cellulose such as viscose, of a character known as artificial straw and thedoup heddles are threaded with a similar viscose or artificial straw thread 3. The filling or weft thread 4 is formed of a taut strand 5 of cotton or other vegetable fibre, around which is loosely wrapped in a generally s iral manner a relatively stiff thread 6, pre erably of viscose or other cellulose, and around which is also wrapped in a generally spiral formation the relatively tight binder thread 7 of artificial silk, and in a direction opposed to the direction of the thread 6. The resilient composite filler thread 4 is thereb given a bulky andgenerally spiral body, w ich when interlaced with the two sets of regular war threads 1 and 2 and the set of doup warp t reads 3, in the manner shown in Figure 1, will produce a firm fabric having the appearance and general characteristics of hand crocheted fabric.

From this fabric hats of any desired shape may be formed with or without suitable buckram or net frames. A fabric of this novel construction may be suitabl sized or blocked if additional stiffness is esired'.

It is to be understood that the term cellulose is used to include the various chemically produced cellulose threads, such as the regenerated cellulose threads as for instance nitro-cellulose, viscose, as well as threads resulting from the cupramonium, as well as the thiocyanateofrocesses and also any other chemical y pr uced threads ,or filament, lsnkeah as the cellulose acetate filaments or the The term artificial silk is used as definitive of-the physical characteristics or appearance embodiment to be considered in all respect:

asillustrative and not restrictive, reference being had to the appended claims rather than to the foregoing description to indicate the scope of the invention.
