' -This improvement relates to an improved window channel and particularly to that type of channel intended for use with doors or windows of closed motor cars, such as with sedans and in similar uses. 1
There are many essentials demanded by the trade of a window guide adapted to general "It must be capable of continuous use in all kinds of weather and must not be affected injuriously by dust and must retain its attractive appearance under any or all these conditions and An additional requlsite is that the guide must be adapted to the usual and ordinary methods of assembly adopted by the trade, and it is almost a prime requisite that the guide device shall be such'that' one side can .be held at right angles to the base while the other side is held in line; w th the base so that the glass can be readily 1nserted and after the glasshas been positione the second mentioned side can be turned up. engaging position. This last requisite has almost barred from general use a metal channel it is impossible to adapt it to the foregoing line assembly. Likewise, felt guiding devices are objectionable because dust an water very quickly act injur ously upon the felt. It has long been recognlzed that 1t was desirable to devise a construction, retaining the advantage of the felt for the frictional contact with the glass, but having the metallic exterior efl'ect, suchzas to maintain an atthe best advantage.
tractive appearance and if necessary be wash able while still being adapted to line assemblv method described above.
The invention described herein has all the advantages just mentioned, a main feature being that the device has an outer flexible washable container and an inner felt con- V tact member, theouter memberhaving sides that can be manipulated to perml ready-as: sembly of the glass and insertion w thin the rabbet in accordance with the prac-tlsesmem tioned above. The character of the outside cover is such and its particular relation to the inside felt member is such that it'presents the smoothness of the outside surfaces almost equal to a metal cover,

'4 hug closely the to .paper strip while also presenting a maximum of flexibility for the side walls enabling it to part indicated in the following description and, in part rendered apparent therefrom in connection with the annexed drawings.
fully To enable others skilled in the art so to apprehend the underlying features hereof that they may embody the same in the various ways contemplated by this invention, drawmgs depicting a preferred typical construction have been annexed as a part of this disclosure and, in such drawings, like charac ters of reference denote corresponding parts throughout all'the views, of which Figure 1 is a plan view of the window guide, F g. 2 is a transverse sectional view'and Fig. 3 is a perspective-view showing the sides bent upto roper holding position.
Re erring-to the drawings, the outer cov- 1; the inner felt member is marked 2; the stitches for secur ing the felt to the outer covering are marke 3; the reinforcing strands for the outer edges of the cover or container are marked 4:- There is preferably employed a paper strip5 placed between the felt and. the outer coveringvfor the pur ose of assisting in the bending of the sides 0 the guide.
The outside cover as shown in Figs. 2 acter such that it can antageously with the interior contact member 2. The outer container 1 has its thin edges extendedbeyond the edges and the'edges of the container are bent back upon themselves in a way to form openings for the strands 4, ahd when the sides of the container are bent into proper holding position these strands surface of the felt as indicated in Fig. 3. oreover, the thin character of the imitation leather container is such that it is only necessary to stitch the felt to said container by two lines of stitches marked 3 to enable the felt and cover to be bent into channel form, thus avoiding the trouble and expense of cutting out grooves in the felt or forming the felt into strips spaced apart to form grooves. The inserted 5 is not essential to the operation but it may be used to assist of this device, as a straight edge for bending the sides of hannel.
the felt and cover to form a c In this way there ispresented a frictional contact guide or channel, wherein there is a flexible washable cover capable of containing the thick felt member, and stitched toand 3 is of a thin charbe combined most adthick. felt v gether in a way to enable the parts to be adapted to the commonly used line assembly method. I
The complete device presents somewhat the appearance of and the advantages of a device having'metallic sides; for the coating on the imitation member 1 is a film giving to the outside surface of the leather 2. glazed or glossy effect and yet the thinness of the container adapts it admirably to the character of a channel having bent up sides and to remove the injuriousefi'ects of rain and dust, it will only be necessary to wash the outside surfaces of the imitation leather.
Without further anal sis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the 1st of this invention that others can, by app ying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various utilizations by retaining one or more of the features that, from the standpoint of the prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of either the generic or specific aspects of this invention and, therefore, such adaptations should be, and are intended to be, comprebended within the meaning .and range of equivalency of the following claims.
Having thus revealed this invention, I
' claim as new and desire to secure the following combinations and elements, or equivalents thereof, by Letters Patent of United States 1- 1. In a frictional contact guide the'combination of a contacting felt member with an outer covering of a washable character, a plurality of lines of stitches for connecting the felt member and covering together, said lines of stitches forming the sole means for markin the lines upon which the sides of felt am? outer casing are bent up from the body portion thereof to form the guide.
2. As an article of manufacture a frictional contact guide made entirely of fabric comprising a thin outer covering of washable material, an inner felt member extending substantially from one edge of the outer cover to the other edge of substantially uniform thickness throughout, secured to said be folded upon the central portions; the
lines of stitches acting as hinges 'topermit the parts to be. folded into channel form.
3. As an article of manufacture a frictional contactguide made entirely of fabric comprising a thin outer covering of washable material, an inner felt member extending substantially from one edge of the outer cover to the other edge of substantially uniform thickness throughout, secured to said outer covering by rows of longitudinal stitches forming said felt into three portions of substantially the same thickness, and of such character that the side portions can be folded upon the central portions, the lines of stitches acting as hinges to permit the parts to be folded into channel form, re-enforcing strands for the outer edges of the outer cov ering and lying above the felt member when the parts are formed into channel form.
4. As an article of' manufacture a frictionalcontact guide made entirely of fabric comprising a thin outer covering of Wash-v able material, an inner felt member extending substantially from one edge of the outer cover to the other edgeof substantially uniform thickness throughout, secured to said outer covering by rows of longitudinal stitches forming said felt into three portions of substantially the same thickness, and
of such character that the side portions can be folded upon the central portions, the lines of stitches acting as hinges to permit the parts to be folded into channel form, reenforcing strands for the outer edges of the outer covering and lying above the felt member when the parts are formed into channel form, an insertable meniberbetween the lines of stitches for forming straight edges for the bending operation.
In witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name.
