UNITED STATES HANS LIEDTKE, 0F HAMBURG, GERMANY.
METHOD OF MENDING FABRIC ARTICLES.
Application letl May 2, 1927, Serial No. 188,410, and in Germany June 3, 1926.
This invention relates to a method of mending fabric articles and particularly knitted fabrics which are subjected in use to more or less stretching or distortion by r-eason of the nature of their material.I Q
The improved method consists in utilizing a patch of the same material as that of the article being mended and applying this patch to insure a cementitious adherence to the fabric in a manner to avoid and remove any cement material throughout the area of the hole or opening being mended to thereby provide a patch which will, when in place, be a substantial continuation both in appearance and character of the original material. n
The patch used in the improved method is of a material which in weave and color resembles and has substantially the same characteristics and may of course be of the identical material with that of the article being mended. This patch is repared by applying to one surface and t roughout that surface a thin layer of cementitious material, as for example a rubber solution. The edge of the hole or opening in the garment to be mended is trimmed to present a smooth edge and the garment is reversed and placed with its outer surface upon an appropriately formed hard surface between which and the garment there is interposed a layer of flannel or woolen cloth. The patch is then applied on the then upper surface of the garment which is the inner or reverse side thereof, the cement coated side of the patch being of course applied next to the fabric of the garment.
A heated element, as a hot iron, is then passed over the unimpregnated side of the patch, sutiicient pressure being applied to cause the patch to adhere firmly to the garment. The heat and pressure of the iron causes the cementitious material on the patch within the hole or opening to pass through and into the underlying flannel or woolen material,'while at the same time this cement firmly unites the patch and garment beyond the hole or opening.
The garment is then reversed and the patch will be found to be in firm adherence to the garment, united therewith particularly close at the edges of the hole or opening, while that portion of the patch within the outline of the original hole or opening is entirely free of the cementitious material.v
The patch is thus substantially invisible and as the material of the patch is of the same texture and characteristics as that of the garment being mended, the patch will respond to all stretching and other action of the material exactly in accordance with the action of the material of the original garment. Thus, the patch, if correctly applied to insure a firm adherence, is practically as strong as the garment and there is no tendency to displace the patch incident to un equal resiliency of stretching ofthe garment and patch. l
The method is particularly important in connection with mending stockings or the like which, as well known, stretch more or less when applied and generally relax this stretching when not in use.
The method may be carried out as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure l is a sectional view of a portion of the article to be mended.
Figure 2 is a sectional view showing the article applied on a support ready for securing the patch. l
Flgure 3. is a similar view showing the patch applied and the article slightly removed from the support.
Figure 4 is a broken plan view of the article with the patch applied.
As illustrated, the article, say a stocking having a hole 2, is reversed and applied over a more or less rigid support 3 having a covering 4 of flannel or the like. The patch 5, which may be shaped to correspond with the shape of the hole but of greater dimensions, 1s coated on one side as with a layer 6 of rubber cement. The patch is applied over the hole on the reverse side and the article drawn smoothly over the former 3 and heat and pressure applied as by a hot iron. The cementitious material is thus caused to adhere to the fabric of the article l while'the cement at that portion of the patch within the outline of the hole is deposited upon the flannel covering 4 of the support 3. As the article is removed from the support, it will be found that the face of the patch within the outline of the hole 2 will be free of any cementitious layeras indicated at 7 in Figure 3, while the cementitous layer, which was previously on the patch Within the outline ot' the hole 2, has been deposited on the iannel coveringl L ot' the support 3, as in- 5 dicated at G in Figure 3.
What I claim to be new is:
A method of monding holes or openings in hosiery or like fabrics, consisting in applying the cemented side of a patch of like material to the reverse side of the article by 10 means of a heated pressure element, and
'utilizing an absorbent material beneath the be mended by the heated pressure element. 15
In testimony whereof I alx my signature.
