Claims.. or. 15091) U 'My invention relates to new and useful improvements in a receptacle of textile fabric and the method of making the same, which receptacle is adapted for use as a pillow cover, pillow case,

5 hand bag or other article.

One of the objects of the invention is. to produce a device of this character in which the obverse and reverse sides of the article will be 0 the same material and design.

Often it is impossible to obtain two sides of an article of this kind from a piece of fabric, due to the shape and size of such piece and if only one of the sides is obtainable there isconsiderabl'e waste. Therefore another object of this; invention is to fashion a piece of fabric into a plurality of sections of regular form with practically no waste and then secure said sections together in a manner that the two sides of an article are produced from the piece of fabric. 1

Another object of the invention is to assemble the sections so that a part of each forms a portionof both the obverse and reverse sides of the receptacle.

Another object of this invention is to produce an article of the kind mentioned by employing a certain method that is effective and that can be readily performed.

A further object of the invention is to use fabrics having a striped pattern or striped effect and to arrange the sections so that the stripes of one section are at an angle to the stripes of adjacent sections giving the appearance of the stripes: of each section intercepting the stripes of contiguous sections, thus forming an attractive and pleasing effect to the eye.

A still further object of my invention is to produce an article of manufacture of unique construction in which the finished article is without a seam about the edge between the front and back sides. This reduces the amount of labor to make a device of the kind described over that necessary to construct an article of the same character in the regular way and which will have the obverse and reverse sides arranged as herein set forth.

With these and other objects in View, this invention consists of the details of construction and combination of elements hereinafter set forth and then specifically designated by the claims. 50 In order that those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains may understand how to make and use the same, I will describe its construction in detail, referring by numerals to the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a receptacle in a tenal z r strip-a1: area; and the terms used herei'nare to distended -6iiditidii,

constructed in accordance mm invention. I I I Fig. 2 arses view of we sections stitchedtdtiire, these two sections producing one-half of the article shown Figs. I and 4.

Fig; 5 perspective view df' a modification.

In carrying out my mvenmoaas embodied in Figs. 1- and 4, inclusive, I employ four sections I i); l l l 2 aln'd l3 of striped textile fabric and by striped fabric I mean that which is woven with the stripes in it, or which has stripes printed thereon; or' where the effect is produced by securing" strip's 'ot fabric; braid or corded or other material to the foundation cloth. In other words, my invention contemplates the use of mabe so construed.

The four sections 10, ll, l2 and I3 are all true squares of exactly the same size andin the course of making a receptacle M, the section I0 is super- 1 imposed on the section II with their right sides innermost or against each other and the stripes of one section are at right angles to the stripes of the other section. These sections are then secured together along two adjacent edges, as by stitches I5, which leaves section ID with two free edges l6 and I! and section II also with two free edges IB and l9.

In a similar manner the section I2 is superimposed on the section 13 and they are secured together along two adjacent edges, as by stitches 20, which leaves section I2 with two free edges 2| and 22 while the section I3 has two

free edges

23 and 24.

The two halves of the receptacle thus produced and illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3 now can be folded so that each half produces a right angle triangle in which the free edges of each section coincide and one of the free edges of each section aligns with a free edge of the other section to constitute the hypothenuse of the triangle. While thus folded, the edges l6 and I8 are secured to the

edges

22 and 24 respectively and the, edges l1 and l 9 are attached to the edges 2| and 23 respectively, as by stitches 25. In one of the seams is left.

'g'e'ther with one section slightly turned back and. simmering one step the course of manurac- In the modification illustrated in Fig. 5, each of the

sections

28, 29, 30, 3|, 32 and 33 are of diamond shape and four of these sections are arranged in pairs and secured together along two adjacent edges, then a third section is secured to one of the sections of each pair thus providing two These halves are then folded complete halves. on the short diameters of their respective sections and free edges of said halves secured together.

'Ihe article thus formed is now turned right side out to complete the receptacle 34 in which each section provides a portion of the obverse and reverse sides of the receptacle, and the border edge 35 is created by the folds in the short diameters of the several sections and the stripes of contiguous sections run at angles to one another, be ing intercepted by the seams between such sections.

Of course I do not wish to,be limited to the exact details of construction herein shown and described, as theymay be varied within the limits of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, "what I claim as new and useful is 1. In a device of the kind described, a plurality of rectilineal sections of striped textile material, each folded on a line between two of its corners to produce a triangle figure, and the edges of said sections secured together to form a receptacle in which the obverse and reverse sides thereof are identical and in which the border edge is without a seam.

2. In a device of the kind described a plurality of rectilineal sections of striped textile fabric having their edges secured together so that the stripes of one section are at an angle to the stripes of contiguous sections and said sections folded on lines between corners common to each pair of adjacent sections whereby one part of each section forms a portion of the obverse side and another equal part forms a portion of the reverse side of a receptacle.

3. In a device of the kind described, a plurality of uniform square sections of stripedmaterial, each folded along a diagonal line and said sections secured together along their edges with the stripes of each section positioned at right angles to the stripes of contiguous sections, one-half of all of the sections forming the obverse side of a receptacle and the other half of all of said receptacle without a seam along the border edge.

4. In a device of the kind described, a plurality of uniform diamond shaped sections of striped material, each folded along its short diameter and said sections secured together along their edges with the stripes of each section positioned at angles to the stripes of contiguous sections, one- 7 half of all of the sections forming the obverse side of a receptacle and the other half of all of said sections forming the reverse side of said receptacle without a seam along the border edge.

5. The method of producing a receptacle in which the obverse and reverse sides will be of the same material and pattern, the same being formed from a piece of striped textile fabric that cannot be cut into two areas equal to the dimensions of the sides of the receptacle; consisting of cuttingthe piece of fabric into uniform sections, then stitching the edges of a plurality of said sections together to form a half of the receptacle, then stitching the other sections together along their edges to form the other half of the receptacle, then folding the sections forming each half along lines between their corners and finally stitching the two halves together so that a border edge is provided without a seam and the stripes of each section are positioned at angles to the stripes of contiguous sections.
