19 Claims.
One of the objects of this invention is to pro- .vide a generally fiat relatively wide elastic fab-,
of forming a fabric of threads which are shrunk after being woven, by which arrangement I may obtain a more elastic and thinner material than where the threads are shrunk prior to weaving.
f; A further object of the invention is the pro- This invention further consists in the method of forming an elastic fabric which, after being taken from the loom, is in an inelastic state and is rendered elastic by treatment in the finishing process.
with these and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features in the construction and method of forming the fabric as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawing: Y
Fig. l is a top plan view of a fragmental portion of the fabric showing at its upper portion the fabric as it comes from the loom, and at its lower portion the fabric after it has been finished and shrunk.
Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view of the strands of fabric showing their interweaving relation.

as corsets or the like, to provide thin material, and
it has been usual in the formation of such material to use elastic and non-elastic threads which will contract upon being taken from the loom in which they are woven under tension, and I have found that by weaving the unshrunk threads, which extend at right angles to and also in the same direction as the elastic threads-and using some sizing in these threads that the fabric will not contract any appreciable extent upon being taken from the loom until they are treated in a manner, to shrink the threads and remove the sizing from .them, whereupon the elastic threads are permitted to contract and every thin fabric is produced which is desired for the purposes above stated the same being either flat or otherwise depending on the arrangement of the elastic threads; and the following is a detailed description of the'present embodiment of this invention illustrating the preferred means by which these advantageous results may be accomplished.
With reference to the drawing, .for the sake of convenience, I will designate one component set of threads 10 as warp threads and the other component set of threads 11 as weft threads, although these threads may be interchanged for convenience or the obtaining of different weaves.
In the weft threads there is provided a pair of yarn or relatively non-elastic threads 12 alternating with a pair of relatively elastic threads 13, each of which may be formed with a rubber or latex core 14 and a covering 15 of a textile material usually of the same material as the non-elastic thread 12. In this manner of positioning the elastic and non-elastic weft threads, the elastic threads are sufliciently close together so that when contraction occurs the fabric will remain substantially flat or in a single plane.
One convenient form of weaving is to cause weft threads to extend alternately-under and over groups 16 and v1'7 of warp threads which I have here illustrated as three threads included in each group, and when in woven condition, as illustrated in Fig. 4. the elastic and non-elastic threads will be related as there shown when taken from the loom. The non-elastic threads 12 as well as warp threads 10 contain a sizing or gum which causes the fabric to be relatively stiff so that when the fabric is removed from the loom with the elastic strands 13 in stretched condition this fabric will not appreciably change but will remain stiff with the rubbers or elastic threads in the stretched condition which they assume in passing through the loom. This invention has to do primarily with silk or rayon threads, although other materials may be used and the gum or sizing is that usually present in the working of this material. It will also be understood that the elastic threads fabric which is woven on a loom substantially forty three inches wide will contract to a width of substantially twenty four inches after being finished and shrunk, although it will be realized this dimension is merely illustrative and not any way confining as to the invention herein disclosed. I
The elastic threads may be of rubber or latex and the non-elastic threads may be twisted to different degrees with their corresponding binding effect as disclosed in the copending application here and above referred to, where a high twist of the relatively'non-elastic threads is disclosed. The fabric thus formed may be used in undergarments and will stretch and snugly fit the body whichis desired in many uses of the same.
The foregoing description is directed solely towards the construction and method illustrated, but I desire it to be understood that I reserve the privilege of resorting to all the changes to which the fabric is susceptible, the invention being defined and limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
