PARASOL-LINING AND THE METHOD OF APPLYING THE SAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 250,063, dated November 29, 1881.

Application filed October 5, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEVI L. GANS, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Linings for Parasols and Methods of Applying Same, of which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to provide a liningforparasols which maybe easily, cheaply, and strongly applied, which economizes material, and which shall serve as a substitute for the lining commonly employed.

The invention consists in strips of fabric which are attached to the under side of the parasol-cover by paste, sewing, or other suitable means at the places and in the manner hereinafter set forth.

Parasol-linings have hitherto been formed of fabric cut into gores and sewed together, as are the similar parts of the cover. Thislining is attached beneath and completely covers the under side of the parasol. When the cover of the parasol extends over the ends of the frameribs, and thus forms short curtains or flaps, the lining is similarly arranged, and the double fabric then produces a richer and more ornamental effect, especially when the lining is of a different material or different color from the cover. I find that this effect can be obtained by the use of a lining which does not extend entirely over the under side of the cover, andl3 and O are strips of lining material ofequat width. The absolute width ofthcse strips with relation to that of the cover fabric, and consequently, as will be seen hereinafter, t0 the depth of the gore, I do not fix, as this will, in large measure, depend upon the value of the lining fabric used and the judgment of the manufacturer. It should be undcrstood,however, that I limit myselfto such width of strips that the combined width of the two strips shall not equal the depth of the covergore measured from apex to outer edge. One edge of each strip is piukcd or otherwise prepared to prevent fraying and improve the appearance. The strips are then attached to the cover fabric, near the edges of the same, by'a line of sewing, or bypaste or other fastening applied at or near the pinkededges of the strips, which edges, as shown in'Fig. 1, are turned toward each other. The outer edges of the strips are left free, so that the strips form flaps.

By the aid of a suitable pattern the goreshaped pieces which unite to form I the cover are cut from the fabric A, as indicated by the dotted lines a b, a c, d c, d e, 850., each gore be ing a triangle, as a c b, a c (I, d e c, &c. The outer edges, b c, a d, c 0, 850., of the gores may he cut in curved shape, as shown, or left straight. It will be evident that in this way both lining and cover strips are cut simultaneously and in a manner involving very little waste. The outer edge of each gore is then pinked, both lining and cover being pinked at the same time, whereby the serrations or indentations of the pinking in both are caused accurately to correspond. The completed gore is shown in Fig. 2, D being the double-pinked outer edge.

It remains only to sew the gores together in the usual way to form the cover and. apply them to the frame. The lining-strips B then come together to form a nearly circular patch inside the 'parasol, and the strips 0 meet to form the continuous-edge lining, all as shown in Fig. 3.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In combination with the cover of a parasol, a lining-strip of fabric attached at the under side and near the outer edge ofsaid cover, substantially as described.

2. In combination with the cover of a parasol, a lining-strip of fabric attached at the un der side and at the center of said, cover, substantially. as described.

3. A parasol-lining consisting of two strips of fabric applied to the under side of the cover, third, the uniting of these gores to form a parasubstantially as described. sol-cover, substantially as described.

4. The method of producing a parasol covering consisting in, first, the attaching of the LEVI GANS' 5 lining strip or strips to the cover fabric in the Witnesses:

piece; second, the cutting; out of the mate- P. BENJAMIN, lials thus combined in the shape of gores; and, EUGENE BAUTA.
