9 Claims.
The subject of this invention is a new decorative material having many varied uses in the clothing and allied trades. Generally speaking, it is an ornamental, helically wrapped, cord-like material adapted to be sewed or otherwise secured to garments or to cloth or other backings for the production of decorative designs and special effects. It may be used as a trimming material or it may be used to completely cover the surface of a suitable backing, resulting in the production of a fabric of novel appearance.
According to the invention I provide a suitable core which is characterized by the fact that it is very flexible, yielding, soft and resilient. It is also of such a consistency that it can be easily penetrated by a sewing needle. In making this core I use a fibrous material, such as cotton, wool, silk or synthetic fiber, which may be in a variety of forms and still provide the aforesaid properties. To this core I apply a wrapping which completely covers it and constitutes the decorative surface. This wrapping is wound about the core more or less helically, the direction of wrapping lying substantially in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the core and being done in such a manner as to produce a certain amount of overlapping of the turns of the wrapping. Preferably the core and the Wrapping should be of the same color.
In order to illustrate my invention, I have shown'in the drawing a number of embodiments thereof from which a better understanding of the construction of my decorative material may be had. Since it is impossible, however, to produce with pen and ink an exact representation of this product, the drawing is to be taken as merely suggestive of the appearance, which is more fully described in the specification.
The several figures of the drawing illustrate constructions of my decorative material which differ with respect to the make-up of the core. Each figure shows a short length of the material with a section of core as yet unwrapped. In Fig. 1 the core is of roving, in Fig. 2 of a soft yarn, in Fig. 301? spirally-twisted textile. fabric and in Fig. 4 of filled tubular fabric.
The material produced in accordance with the present invention has in itself a unique appearance resulting from the type of wrapping material used and the manner of its application. When this decorative material is sewed to a backing it is additionally susceptible of use in producing different effects, varying with the manner in which the sewing operation is performed. For example, this decorative material may be applied to a backing so as to completely cover the same in a manner similar to that described in my Patent No. 2,115,967, which describes the making of an imitation fur. In that patent curled round chenille is stitched to a cloth 5 back in an irregular pattern, the stitches being applied so as to depress parts of the chenille and produce an irregular surface. My present material is capable of being used in a similar way in place of the chenille, producing a fabric 19 having a somewhat diiierent but very attractive appearance. By varying the number and position of the stitches by which the decorative material is held to the back the effects can be varied substantially. The novel fabric just described is the subject-matter of my co-pending application Serial No. 334,109, filed May 9, 1940, and is therefore not claimed herein;
Describing the invention more in detail, the material, as indicated, comprises a core and a 20 wrapping and in some cases may include a tension-resisting element to prevent stretching. Referring to Fig. 1, the core ii] is wool roving. An appropriate size for general application would have a diameter of from to inch. This is a particularly advantageous core material for several reasons. It is very soft and light. The natural characteristics of the wool fibers make it very resilient. The curly surface fibers, as well as the outwardly exerted pressure supplied by the resilience of the wool, tend to keep the turns of the wrapping from slipping.
Around the core ill a wrapping It is applied, by any suitable winding machine, so as to completely cover the core. ing is preferably made of a multi-fiber yarn having only a very slight twist or even no twist at all. For example I have used a rayon yarn made up of over a hundred continuous filaments and having a twist of roughly one turn per linear 40 inch. Similar yarns of glass, natural silk, or other synthetic fibers are equally suitable.
In applying the wrapping it is done in such manner that the core is but slightly compressed.
In View of the compressible nature of the core this results in the wrapping being somewhat loose. The turns of the wrapping are caused to overlap for complete coverage. By reason of their looseness and overlapping they are free to slip somewhat on one another producing an irregular surface appearance. The lack of twist in the fibers of the wrapping gives the wrapping as a whole a soft glossy appearance.
In applying the wrapping it may be found desirable not to wrap it directly around the core This wrapping or wind- 35 I alone, for that may unduly compress the core. To avoid this the core may be temporarily augmented with a parallel rod or wire around which the wrapping takes place and which is withdrawn as the wrapping progresses. Or the core may be fed through a hollow mandrel around which the wrapping is done in such fashion as to progressively slip off onto the core.
Fig. 2 shows a material as in Fig. 1 except that the core I2 is a twisted soft yarn of wool or the like. Since roving, yarn and similar materials are subject to elongation and attenuation under tension and since this would result in separation and undue loosening of the turns of the wrapping, I have provided a simple means for preventing such elongation. By running a strong thread l3 (Fig. 1) parallel with the core and underneath the wrapping, any pull on the finished material will be taken up by the thread, which is relatively unstretchable. A similar thread I4 appears in Fig. 2, in which it is shown as threaded through the yarn l2 at intervals. If desired this tension thread may be tied or otherwise secured to the core at intervals prior to application of the wrapping.
In Fig. 3 the core i5 is a tubular member formed by spirally wrapping a fabric strip [6 upon itself. In Fig. 4 the core i1 is a fabric tube made by sewing theedges of a fabric strip together to form a rat-tail and then inverting the same to reverse the seam. The stitching is shown at N. This tube is shown as having a filling of yarn or the like 18. A similar filling may be employed in the core of Fig. 3 and, vice versa, the filling in the core it of Fig. 4 may be omitted.
Obvious modifications may be made in the specific constructions just described. For example it is not necessary to use a single piece of roving or yarn as the core, as shown in Figs, 1 and 2, as several parallel pieces may be used with equal success. I do not intend, therefore, to limit the invention otherwise than by the terms of the following claims.
What is claimed is:

A decorative wrapped cord-like material comprising a substantially cylindrical thick soft core of highly compressible resilient fibrous material and a wrapping consisting of a multi-fiber yarn having no more than a slight twist helically wound about said core continuously in one direction with sufficient overlapping to complete- 1y cover the core, said Wrapping being loosely applied to the core so as to compress the same only slightly.
2. A decorative wrapped cord-like material comprising a continuous soft core of tubular fabric which is highly compressible and resilient and a wrapping consisting of a multi-fiber yarn having no more than a slight twist helically wound about said core continuously in one direction with sufficient overlapping to completely cover the core, said wrapping being loosely applied to the core so as to compress the same only slightly.
3.
