Application February 1, 1932. Serial No. 590,216
l1 Claims.
This invention relates to fabrics and particularly to terry fabrics.
In producing patterns outlined in terry loops difficulty is encountered when the fabric has a 5 soft weave and long pile, such as is suitable, for example, for high grade towels, because the outline of the pattern is not crisp and ciear.
The present invention meets this difliculty in all cases where it is practicable to weave, as a background or zone for the pattern, a cross stripe or cross border of a different texture from the body of the towel.
In weaving a towel, for example, if the pattern is in a cross-border, that cross-border l5 would be of a different weave. rIerry suitable for towels is so-called three pick (i. e., three shots of filling for each row of terry loops) and this is used in the body of the towel, but in the cross border area a four pick weave is used. This gives a closer harsher pile, particularly so if the take-up be reduced to tighten the weave, that is, increase the density of the fabric. In the border area I prefer also to shorten the pile.
The invention produces a particularly desirable article when applied to cross borders on towels. Not only does it improve the denition of the pattern and produce a sort of panel effect, but also it somewhat stifens the end portions of the towel, so that the towels hang better and keep their shape better. Thus the use of the invention is highly desirable even in the absence of any pattern.
The invention can be better understood by reference to the accompanying drawing, in
which:- Fig. 1 is a face View of a towel according to my invention.
Fig. 2 is an edge View of a portion of the towel, somewhat enlarged.
To avoid confusing the drawing no attempt to illustrate a pattern in the border has been made. While the invention may be used merely to improve pattern characteristics, where the pattern is expressed wholly or in part in terry, the invention is generally available, so that the presence of a pattern is not material. Moreover, various methods of producing patterns are well known, some of the resulting patterns being all terry, others terry on plain weave, and s0 on. With all these, the invention may be used to improve the pattern characteristics of the terry in the border as compared to the terry in the body of the goods, but the method of producing the pattern is not aifected materially.
In the drawing is represented a terry towel (Cl. IBB-$96) having a selvage l, a hemmed, plain woven end 2, a main portion 3 of three pick terry, cross borders 4 of four pick terry, and end portions 5 also of three pick terry. Obviousl57 the cross borders 4 might be at the extreme ends, in which 60 case the portions 5 would disappear. In the three pick terry areas 3 and 5, the terry loops are preferably longer and the ground Weave is preferably looser.
While I prefer to use three pick and four pick terries, as those are in most common use, the invention contemplates broadly the change of weave by changing the number of picks per row of loops regardless of the number of rows of loops per inch.
For certain cases satisfactory results may be had by concurrently shortening the pile and tightening the weave without changing the character of weave, or by changing the character of weave and tightening the weave without changing the height of pile, or by changing the character of weave and shortening the pile without tightening the weave. The best results are, however, secured by changing character of weave, shortening the pile and tightening the weave.
The present application is limited to the fabric or article, which may be produced on various looms, more or less automatic in character. A loom especially developed for the purpose is described and claimed in my copending application Serial No. 590,215, filed February l, 1932.
What is claimed iszl. A terry fabric having adjacent terry areas, in one of which there are more picks of filling per row of terry loops than in the other.
2. A terry fabric having adjacent terry areas differing in weave, one area having a four pick weave and the other a three pick weave.
3. The fabric dened in claim 1, further characterized in that the heights of pile are different in the two areas. y
4. The fabric defined in claim l, further characterized in that the heights of pile and closeness of weave are both different in the two areas.
5. A terry fabric having adjacent terry areas, in one of which areas the pile is relatively high `10() and the ground fabric relatively loosely woven, and in the other of which areas the pile is lower and the ground fabric more tightly woven.
6. A terry fabric having adjacent terry areas in one of which areas the pile is relatively high and the weave is three pick, and in the other of which areas the pile is lower and the weave has more than three picks per row of terry loops.
'7. A terry fabric having adjacent terry areas in one of which the ground fabric is relatively y loosely woven and the weave is three pick, and in the other of which areas the ground fabric is more tightly woven and the weave has more than three picks per row of terry loops.
8. A terry fabric having adjacent terry areas, in one of which the pile is relatively high, the ground fabric is relatively loosely woven and the weave is three pick, and in the other of'which the pile is lower, the ground fabric is more tightly Woven, and the weave has more than three picks per row of terry loops.
9. The fabric defined in claim 8 further characterized in that the weave in said other area is four pick.
