, My invention relates to braids and refers more particularly to a braid wherein the weave is alternately upset to produce a wave 1 One object of my invention isto'provide a braid wherein the threads are alternately upset out of alignment with each other;

. Another object of my invention is topro vide a braid that has'a wave like effect in appearance.

, A further object of my invention is to provide a braid that is alternately upset from the edges to the central portion so as to produce a wave like effect inthe material. A still further object of my invention is to provide a braid first made up of a straight warp and a diagonal woof and then upsetting the warp alternately toward" the edges so that when thus upset the warp will give a wave like effect.

It is well known in the art that braids of different kinds have been produced but none of them have ever been made that produce the effect of this unique arrangement of the weave. a V

r I attain these objects bywthe means illus-.

The weave shown in Figuresjl and 2 is I diagonal and made up ofthe cross threads or woof only, but it is obvious that other cross weaves could be used toproduce a similar effect.

This braid. is first wovenas shown in Fig:

ure. lwherein the threads 1 and-2 cross each the braid, providing 1930. Serial No. 437,079.

at 6, 8,10 and lQigas shown in Figure, 2 and when thus alternately pushed out there will be formed at 13a wave like arrangement of'threads substantially in the center of the braid as clearly seen in Figure 2, where-5 in. the angular spacing of the weave indi' cates the displacement of the threads.

It is: obvious that many variations of this offsetting method may unique effects produced.

Theweave shown in Figures 3 and'et is be usedand various madeup of the. diagonal or cross threads warp.f i

Havingthus illustrated and described the j 5 preferred embodiment of my invention, I" do not wish to limit myself tot-he exact construction or arrangement of 'partsshown, since. it is evident that modifications be made therein, without departing from the'spirit of theinvention or scope of the claims, Iclaim: r r
