Application May 2, 1933, Serial No. 668,938

12 Claims.

This invention relates to cloth, usually silk, for the manufacture of matching handkerchiefs and tie sets, and to the method of decorating such cloth to permit the separation of handkerchiefs and ties to match, from the same piece of goods.

It has heretofore been found difiicult to produce so-called white handkerchiefs having a design thereon, to match with the desired accuracy, the color and design of a tie with which the handkerchief is sold, to make a tie and handkerchief set. Diiiiculties have been experienced, for example, in the matching of the decorating material such as ink or chemicals to produce the desired color. Difficulties have also been found in the unwarranted expense resulting from comparatively short runs in that the decoration of the handkerchief and of the tie have required separate operations at excessive cost. It has also been found impractical to discharge the colors on sufiiciently large areas of colored goods to produce white handkerchiefs.

My invention therefore contemplates the formation of the handkerchief portion and of the tie portion of the set on the same piece of goods, so that the handkerchief portion may later be severed from the tie portion and made up into finished handkerchiefs by well known ,hemming operations, and the tie material may likewise be cut up independently or at the same time, if desired, to produce the tie parts which are later assembled in the usual manner, but the handkerchief having, nevertheless, a substantially white portion body, or center, together with a colored design. My invention further contemplates that the design or decoration of the white handkerchief exactly matches the design or decoration of the tie, due to the novel method of coloring-the handkerchief portion at the same time and with the same ink-and from the same roller as that with which the tie portion is colored.

- My invention further contemplates the provision of an integral piece of goods containing both tie and white handkerchief material with precisely matching designs thereon. My invention further contemplates the provision of a simple and efiicient method for producing my novel goods, and for producing the matching colored ties and white handkerchiefs. In what fol-' lows, itwill be understood that by the term white, I mean either white or a solid color.

The various objects of my invention will be clear from the description which follows, and from the drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a plan view of a fragment of a piece of mynovel goods, showing in dash-dot lines where the goods may be cut to form ties and handkerchiefs. V

Fig. 2 is a similar view of a handkerchief having a modified design imprinted thereon and adapted to be made from my new goods and by my new process.

Fig. 3 is a similar View of a handkerchief having. a modified imprint thereon.

Fig. l is a front elevation of the handkerchief printing portion of a roller by means of which my new goods may be imprinted and my new process may be carried out.

It is customary in the trade to cut ties from goods about 24 in width, and to make handkerchiefs about 14" in width. In that practical embodiment of my invention which I have illustrated by way of example, I therefore prefer to print the handkerchief portion 11 and the tie portion 12 on a single piece of goods 10 about 38" in width though it will be understood that ny invention is not limited to this size and is adapted to print larger or smaller widths, depending on the sizes of the handkerchiefs and ties to' b e produced from the goods 10.

The goods are fed and passed through the printer, dried, and rolled in the usual manner so that these operations need not be described in detail except to say that the printing rollerhereinafter mentioned cooperates with the usual roller to properly print and feed the goods continuously.

However, the tie portion 11 is printed throughout or fully with the design 13, but the handkerchief portion -12 is printed only at the desired areasas 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 1-9, 20,'and 21, to produce a handkerchief 22 having a white body portion or center 23, and a colored clecoratedborder, it being understood that the goodslO operated upon is preferably though not necessarily, originally white.

It will further be understood that for the handkerchief decorated areas 14 to 21 inclusive, may be substituted the border'24 or the-pattern 25 in the form of a spaced border, or any other border or design which may be founddesirable, but which leaves the body portion 23 of the handkerchief substantially in its original, preferably White, color. 4

In carrying out my invention, a printingroller 26 somewhat similar to the decorating rollers heretofore inv general use is used, but said roller is substantially modified, as will now. be explained. The tie printing portion 27 of the roller is of the usual construction, the design being engraved thereon-by the usual methods so as to printcontinuously, and to repeat the design throughout the length of the goods in the tie portion 11. The handkerchief printing portion 28, however, is recessed, cut away, or depressed so as to leave the unmutilated printing surfaces 29 to print the design portion 14 of one handkerchief and the portion 18 of the adjacent handkerchief.

Similarly, the unmutilated roller surface 30 prints the area 15 of one handkerchief and the area 19 of the adjacent handkerchief. In the same manner, the unmutilated roller portion 31 prints the handkerchief design areas 16 and 20, While the roller portion 32 prints the handkerchief design area 21, and the roller portion 33 prints the design area 17. Between the various areas 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33, the roller is cut away or recessed as at 34 so that the roller does not, on the recessed portion, take any ink and therefore does not come in contact with the goods and fails to print any design thereon.

It will be understood that the various handkerchief printing surfaces 29 to 33 inclusive of the roller may be shaped as desired to print numerous other designs such as the handkerchief designs 24 and 25, ina manner which will now be obvious to those skilled in the art'.

The goods 10, after being suitably fully printed in the tie portion 11 and at the desired areas of the handerchief portion 12, is out on a line 35.

running preferably longitudinally of the goods and forming the juncture between said portions, to separate said portions 11 and 12. Or suitable tie patterns as 36 and 37 may be superimposed upon the tie section 11, and the tie portion cut up before the severing cut on the line is made, if desired. Similarly, the handkerchiefs imprinted on the section 12 may be separated by suitable cuts on'the preferably transverse severing lines 38. The completion or assembly of the individual ties and handkerchiefs may then proceed in the usual manner, which need not be described in detail, being well known in the art. I prefer, however, to so proportion the ties and handkerchiefs that the same number of ties and a handkerchiefs are obtained from a given yardage of goods.

It will be seen that I have provided goods adapted to be printed continuously and in one operation with colored tie material and white, decorated handkerchief material precisely matching each other, that the designs on the resulting handkerchiefs and ties cannot fail to match, that onlyone roller and one operation is necessary to print both the ties and the handkerchiefs with the resulting substantial economies in time,'labor and material.

It will further be understood that while I have used the term printing in the production of the desired designs on the goods, I mean by this term any method by which such designs may be produced and which are well known and which may be other than what is narrowly includedin the term printing. p s

' While I have shown and described certain 5 specific embodiments of my invention, it will be the juncture of said portions to an edge of the goods, and adapted to be severed by transverse cuts into handker'chiefs free of any pattern over the major portion of its area, .the lesser part of said handkerchief portion being decorated repeatedly at spaced intervals with the same ink as the tie portion to match accurately in color, shade, and design, the decoration of the tie portion, and to leave a substantial part of spaced central areas the handkerchief portion undecorated, and thereby being adapted to produce white or uncolored handkerchiefs, the decoration of the handkerchief portion merging into the decoration of the tie portion.

2. An integral piece of goods fully decorated all-over and throughout the length of a predetermined portion of its width, said portion being thereby adapted to be cut up on the bias into ties, and partly decorated with the same ink and design to match precisely in shade, color and design for the remaining portion of its width at repeated spaced intervals whereby said remaining portion is adapted to be cut up by straight transverse cuts into partly decorated handkerchiefs perfectly matching the ties produced from the fully decorated portion and free of any decoration in their central parts.

3. Combined white handkerchief and tie goods of straight unpatterned weave comprising a completely decorated tie portion'of sufficient width to permit ties to be cut therefrom on the bias and a partly decorated and partly white integral handkerchief portion adapted to be severed from the tie portion along a longitudinal line and adapted to be further severedfat spaced intervals along parallel transverse lines to produce approximately the same number of white handkerchiefs as ties and matching the ties, said partly decorated portion precisely matching the completely decorated portion in 'color, shade and pattern, and comprising rectangular imprints forming a border on the handkerchiefs, and part of the decoration of the partly decorated portion merging with the decoration of the tie portion.

4. Combined handkerchief and tie goods comi prising a fully decorated tie portion of sufficient width to produce tie goods from which ties may be cut on the bias, and a white handkerchief portion integral with but of less width than the tie portion, said white handkerchief portion being decorated only on the areas corresponding to the borders of the finished handkerchiefs with the identical decoration on the tie portion and having blank central areas between the decorated areas, the pattern of the inner decorated areas merging with the pattern of the decorated tie portion. I I 5. Combined woven silk handkerchief and'tie goods for the production of matching handkerchief and tie sets comprising a tie forming area running throughout the length of the goods and throughout more than half of its width, a design in color in said area, a handkerchief forming area running throughout the length of the goods and of the remaining width of the goods and meeting the tie forming area on a longitudinal line of the goods forming an unmarked severing line between said areas, and a design on predetermined portions only of the latter area identical in color and shade with the design on-the tie forming area and merging therewith and arranged around spaced predetermined areas of the handkerchief forming portion to leave said lastmentioned spaced areas blank or undecorated.

6. The method of making combined tie and white handkerchief sets comprising providing a piece of white goods of sufficient width to permit the cutting of ties from part of its width and handkerchiefs from the remainder of its width, completely decorating the tie portion with a predetermined design in color, simultaneously decorating predetermined areas only of the remaining portion with the identical design color and shades to leave white areas, the predetermined areas and the tie portion being decorated with a pattern merging thereover, severing the goods longitudinally between said predetermined areas and the tie portion, cutting ties on the bias from the tie portion, and making transverse severing cuts in said remaining portion to form matching handkerchiefs having white centers.

7. The method of making combined colored tie and matching white handkerchief sets of a single piece of white material comprising fully coloring a predetermined area of the white goods with a design by ink of a predetermined color, and simultaneously coloring predetermined portions only of the remaining area of the goods with the identical design and with the same ink to leave spaced white portions forming handkerchief centers on said remaining area, and severing the goods on a predetermined longitudinal line, and again on transverse parallel lines of said remaining area.

8. The method of making a tie and handkerchief set comprising continuously feeding a piece of goods, applying a design all over that portion of the area of said piece of goods extending from one edge to a line beyond the longitudinal center line to form tie goods, and simultaneously applying the same design to match on the remainder of the goods between the other edge and said first-mentioned line at repeated spaced intervals to leave undecorated portions of the material and to produce handkerchief goods, severing the tie goods from the handkerchief goods, making bias cuts in the tie goods to form tie parts and making parallel transverse cuts in the handkerchief goods to form matching handkerchiefs.

9. A piece of silk goods adapted to be cut up to form two different, unrelated but precisely matching sets of articles, said goods having an all-over pattern thereon except at an edge portion thereof of predetermined width and having on said edge portion a border forming imprint of said pattern in the general form of a square, said imprint merging with the all-over pattern, said imprint being of precisely the same color- K ing, shades and design as said all-over pattern,

the goods inside of the square being blank whereby said portion when cut up into one set of said articles is blank or uncolored except at said border, and is provided with a border precisely matching the pattern of the other article.

10. A piece of silk goods of 38" width comprising a tie section of standard 24" width and having an all-over pattern thereon, and adapted to be cut on the bias to form ties the remaining 14 width having precisely the same pattern in color and shading thereon in the general form of a series of square borders with blank centers to permit the cutting up thereof, the inner edges of said borders merging with the all-over pattern by straight transverse cuts and a longitudinal cut into a handkerchief, whereby the handkerchief thus cut from the 14" width is provided with a border precisely matching the tie cut from the 24" 'width in color, shade and design, but is provided with an uncolored center.

11. Silk piece goods of straight unpatterned weave and of sufficient width to permit the severing thereof longitudinally into a full Width tie part from which bias cut ties may be severed and a full width handkerchief part severable transversely into straight out handkerchiefs, the tie part being imprinted with an all-over pattern merging into a border of the same pattern on that portion of the handkerchief part adjacent the tie part, spaced unprinted portions on the handkerchief part free of any pattern, and spaced printed patterned areas on the handkerchief part of the same pattern, shape and color as the tie part and said adjacent portion and in spaced relation to the said adjacent portion of the handkerchief part, in spaced relation to each other and surrounding said pattern-free portions, whereby said goods is severable into a plurality of matching tie and handkerchief sets.

12. Silk piece goods of sufiicient width to permit the severing thereof longitudinally into a full width tie part from which bias cut ties may be severed and a full width handkerchief part severable transversely at right angles to the edge of the goods into straight out handkerchiefs after the severing of the tie part from the handkerchief part, the tie part being imprinted with an all-over design, the handkerchief part being imprinted only in part with the same design and having parts thereof unprinted with said design whereby the handkerchiefs and ties severed from the goods precisely match each other as to design, color and shade.
