25 Claims. (Cl. 139423) This invention relates to improvements in puckered fabrics.
In one embodiment of my invention, I provide a fabric comprising an upper layer of cloth and a lower layer of cloth. Either the lower warp threads or the lower filler threads, or both, are elastic and are held in stretched condition during the weaving of the cloth. The upper layer of cloth and the lower layer of cloth are joined together at selected points. As an example, and without limitation thereof, certain of the upper warp threads may be interwoven at selected points along their length with lower filler threads.
It will be apparent from the above that when the elastic threads return to their normal unstretched condition, upon the completion of the Weaving of the fabric the upper layer of cloth is puckered in the intervals bounded by the points or areas at which it is joined to the lower layer of cloth. It is possible to produce a variety of designs in the upper layer of cloth by varying the manner in which it is interwoven with the lower layer of cloth, thereby varying the manner in which the upper layer is puckered.
An important advantage of this invention is that novel ornamental puckered patterns may be produced in the fabric, with the elastic threads being substantially concealed from view when the fabric is viewed fromabove.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, in conjunction with the annexed drawings, in which certain preferred embodiments are disclosed. However, the embodiments shown are only illustrative of the large variety of designs which may be made in accordance with this invention.
A first embodiment of the invention isshown in Figs. 1-3. In this embodiment, the lower filler or lateral threads are elastic, and certain of the warp threads of the upper layer of cloth are interwoven with the lower layer of cloth at longitudinally spaced points, the corresponding interwoven points of said warp threads being laterally alined. When the elastic threads contract, the upper layer of cloth puekers between the interwoven intervals to form longitudinally spaced, laterally extending ridged or puckered areas. I

2,749,947 Patented June 12, 1956 ice First embodiment In this embodiment, I provide a fabric which has a lower layer of cloth comprising lower longitudinal warp threads 20 and lower lateral filler threads 21. The threads 20 and 21 maybe interwoven in any suitable selected regular pattern. In the pattern illustrated, warp thread 20a passes over a filler thread 21a and under a successive filler thread 21b; and a successive warp thread 2% passes under said filler thread 21a and over said filler thread 21b. The fabric of this embodiment also has an upper layer of cloth comprising upper longitudinal warp threads 22 and upper lateral filler threads 23. These warp threads 22 and filler threads 23 may be interwoven with each other in any suitable selected regular pattern. In the pattern illustrated, warp thread 22a passes over a filler thread 23a and under a successive filler thread 23]); and a successive warp thread 22b passes under said filler thread 22a and over said filler thread 22b.
The upper layer of cloth floats above the lower layer of cloth, except that certain of the upper warp threads 22 are interwoven at periodic intervals along their lengths with the lower filler threads 21. In the pattern illustrated, I select for such interweaving laterally spaced sets of three successive threads 22b for such interweaving. This is clearly shown in Fig. 7. As is clearly shown in Fig. 6, at periodic intervals along its length, each said selected thread 22b, instead of being passed directly under an upper filler thread 23a, is dropped so that it is passed under a lower filler thread 21b. Optionally, the corresponding intervals at which the respective selected threads 22b are,
interwoven with the lower filler threads 21b are laterally alined, as is shown in Fig. 5. These intervals give the effect of small openings 24 in the upper layer of cloth.
As, a result of the above-described construction the fabric is divided into a plurality of longitudinally extending, laterally spaced zones or bands 25 in which the upper layer of cloth is unconnected to the lower layer of cloth. Between the bands 25, the upper layer is connected to the lower layer at the points 24, which are sufficiently close together laterally to minimize puckering of the upper layer between the bands 25.
In this embodiment, the lower filler threads 21 are preferably elastic threads of any suitable type, such elastic threads being well known in the art. For example, the threads 21 may be made of rubber covered with fabric. While the fabric is being woven, tension is exerted along the axis of each thread 21 so as to maintain said thread in a stretched condition. For example, each thread 21 may be stretched to a length a third or more greater than its normal length. During weaving, the upper layer of cloth is substantially smooth.
After the fabric is woven, the tension on threads 21 is relaxed, and they resume their normal length. As a result, the bands 25 are laterally contracted.
Preferably, said bands 25 are sufficiently narrow so that only one upward pucker is formed in each band 25. As a result, a plurality of longitudinal ridges are formed in the upper layer of cloth, each said ridge being formed in a band 25 and extending the full length of the fabric. This is clearly shown in Fig. 5. Intermediate the bands 25, the excess of the upper layerof cloth tends to move Second embodiment In this embodiment, the warp threads of the lower layer of cloth are elastic.
Fig. 4 corresponds to Fig. 2, except that in this embodiment, the inelastic lower warp threads 20 of Fig. 6 are replaced by elastic warp threads 30, and the elastic lower filler threads 21 of Fig. 6 are replaced by inelastic filler threads 31.
It will be apparent that in this embodiment, it is possible to obtain a fabric in which there are longitudinally spaced, laterally extending zones or bands, each said band being puckered to form a lateral ridge therein.
Third embodiment In this embodiment, the warp threads and the filler threads of the lower layer of cloth are elastic.
The upper layer of cloth of Figs. 5 and 6 is' substantially the same as in Fig. 2. The lower layer of cloth is the same as in Fig. 2, except that the inelastic lower warp threads 20 of Fig. 2 are replaced by elastic warp threads 40.
In this embodiment, unlike the embodiment of Figs. 1-3, I prefer not to interweave successive upper warp threads 2217 with the'lower filler threads 2" Instead, as may be seen by contrasting Fig. 6 with Fig. 3, I prefer to interweave spaced individual threads 22b with the lower filler threads. Otherwise, the fabric of this embodiment is woven in substantially the same manner as in the embodiment of Figs. 1-3;
As will be seen from Figs. 5 and 6, the contraction of the elastic threads 21 and 40, upon completion of the weaving, divides the fabric into rectangular areas in which the upper layer of cloth is puckered both longitudinally and laterally.
It will be apparent that I have invented a fabric which comprises an upper layer of cloth and a lower woven layer of cloth comprising a set of warp threads and a set of weft threads, at least one of said sets of thread being all elastic and being maintained in stretched condition during the forming of the fabric. During the forming of the fabric, the two layers of cloth are joined at selected points which are spaced in: the direction of length of said elastic threads, whereby to produce a puckering of' the upper layer of cloth upon permitting the elastic threads to resume their normal length.
I have disclosed a number of specific embodiments of my'invention, in each of which the upper layer of clothalso comprises a set of warp threads interwoven with a set of weft threads. It will be apparent that my invention includes a fabric in which selected remaining threads of either of said layers extending in either of said directions are respectively interwovenat selected points thereon withrespective threads of the other layer extending inthe other direction.
The disclosed embodiments all show a fabric inwhich said selected remaining threads are selected from one set of threads of the upper layer. However, the invention is clearly not limited to such a construction.
thelower warp threads, the lower filler" threads, or: both, may be elastic. The manner in which the selected upper set of threads is interwoven with the lower" layer of cloth determines the type of pattern. which will be produced upon contraction of the elastic threads.
It, will be apparent that while I have disclosed preferred' embodiments of my invention and have indicated various changes, additions and omissions which may be made. therein, numerous other embodiments of my invention, as well as-other changes, additionsand omissions, may be madewithout departing from-the scope and. spirit of the invention.
