Description
1366- 1952 J. GILETTI I TROUSER CURTAIN Filed March 31, 1952 IN V EN TOR. JaH/v 6/1. 577/ y Patented Dec. 2, 1952 TROUSER CURTAIN John Giletti, New York, N. Y., assignor to Roxy Bias Binding, Inc., Brooklyn, N. Y., a corporation Application March 31, 1952, Serial No. 279,528
1 Claim.
This invention relates to trouser curtains.
Broadly, it is an object of the invention to provide an inexpensive trouser curtain which has a tuck substantially along the longitudinal medial line of the curtain running parallel to the upper and lower edges thereof and formed by folding over the middle of the inner facing along the longitudinal medial line and stitching the same to make a permanent tuck.
Trouser curtain is the generally accepted term used in the mens and bo-ys trouser industry for the material of the inside of the waistband of the trouser. In view of the volume of trousers manufactured, it is important to provide a trouser curtain of inexpensive construction. In the better class of trousers, it is an accepted custom in the industry to have a stitched pleat flap along the middle portion of the trouser curtain. However, in the less expensive trousers, such a pleat does not appear. Trouser curtains with the stitched pleat flap in the better class of trousers are comparatively expensive. It is therefore of importance to provide an inexpensive trouser curtain which will provide the benefits and advantages of the more expensive stitched pleat trouser curtain in a trouser curtain of approximately the cost of trouser curtains now being used and manufactured for the inexpensive trouser industry. I have, therefore, provided a trouser curtain having all the advantages of the more expensive trouser curtain which can be used both in the expensive and the expensive trousers at a considerable saving in cost to the expensive trouser manufacturers, and approximately the same or a fraction higher in cost, possibly not more than one-half a cent, to the manufacturers of the inexpensive trousers.
For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference is had to the following description in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the trouser curtain prior to stitching into the trousers.
Fig. 2 is a rear view thereof, and
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken through line 3-3 of Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawing, numeral l represents a section of a trouser curtain comprising a strip of material ll, generally made of rayon, silk or cotton, and generally placed on the bias, and a strip of buckram l2, also on the bias. The material I I has a tuck [3 formed by folding over the material approximately along the longitudinal medial line (when the trouser curtain is sewn into the trousers) and which extends parallel to the upper and lower edge of the trouser curtain. The stitching 14 which forms the tuck does not pass through the buckram 12, as readily seen in Fig. 3. The upper end of the fabric II is folded a short distance, possibly over the upper edge l5 of the buckram 12, forming an in ner upper backing l! for the buckram and is attached to the buckram by stitching I6.
In attaching the trouser curtain to the trouser, the tailor either hand stitches or machine stitches the upper edge of the curtain to the upper facing of the waistband and the lower edge of the fabric II is turned over the buckram l2 and is then stitched either by hand or machine along such turned under lower edge to the inside of the trouser so that the tuck l3 falls substantially at the horizontal center of the trouser curtain, thus making a neat finish for the upper inner trouser waistband.
I claim:
'A trouser curtain comprising a relatively stiff backing strip, a facing strip of a width greater than that of said backing strip, one of the longitudinal edge portions of the facing strip being stitched to a longitudinal edge portion of the backing. strip and folded thereover to cover the line of stitching on one side of said backing strip, the body portion of the facing strip having a longitudinally extending stitched tuck formed therein along a substantial medial line, the fold of said tuck extending inwardly toward the backing strip, the stitching of the tuck extending through the fold of the tuck only, the other longitudinal edge portion of the facing strip extending beyond the corresponding longitudinal edge of the backing strip and adapted to be folded thereunder.
JOHN GILETTI.
