Definitions

  • FIG. 1 A block diagram illustrating an exemplary computing environment in accordance with the present disclosure.
  • This invention relates to improvements in waistbands for articles of wearing apparel as, for example, mens trousers and ladies skirts and pantaloons. In particular, it has reference to a frictional element on the inside of the waistband having as its main purpose the retention of the tail portion of a shirt blouse, or the like where the same is tucked into the nether, overlapping garment.
  • the principal object of the invention is to provide, on the interior surface of a waistband of the general character mentioned, one or more, preferably continuous ridges comprising comparatively resilient, frictional thread, such as raw rubber formed into generally overlapping loops or convolutions disposed entirely on the interior face of the waistband to present to the shirt, or blouse, a somewhat narrow or restricted area of contact of highly frictional character.
  • Another object is to provide frictional means in accordance with the foregoing which may be incorporated with the waistband by conventional, production type, sewing machines in an economical and reliable manner.
  • a further object is to provide frictional means of the character aforesaid which, although disposed on only one face of the fabric of the waistband, is non-ravelling so that if, during wear or cleaning, a portion of the loops is injured or broken, the remainder thereof will continue unaffected in its function.
  • An additional object resides in providing frictional means as aforesaid which utilizes so-called cut rubber, either natural or synthetic, which will present, as active portions thereof, a plurality of comparatively sharp corners, thereby to enhance the gripping action thereof.
  • the invention does not comprehend an elastic waistband per se, that is one which is longitudinally extensible but the principles of the invention may be incorporated with a waistband of that general class. Neither does the invention comprehend the incorporation of the frictional elements of the invention by weaving in a manner such that the rubber is included as warp threads woven into a ground, or woof, of conventional textile yarns or vice versa, whereby bights of rubber are caused to protrude from the base fabric. Nor does the invention comprehend the inclusion of the frictional means as stitches or loops of rubber penetrating a base fabric.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in somewhat magnified form, a plan view of the frictional means of the invention incorporated with a strip of material forming the inner waistband of an article of wearing apparel;
  • FIG. 2 is a cross section of FIG. 1 taken on the lines 22;
  • FIG. 3 is a somewhat diagramatic showing to indicate somewhat more explicitly the nature of the stitches employed for the illustrated embodiment
  • FIG. 4 is a cross section taken substantially on the line 4-4 of FIG. 1 to show the relationship of an anchoring stitch with the rubber thread;
  • FIG. 5 is a cross section taken on the line 5-5 of FIG. 1 showing another transverse aspect of the rubber thread.
  • the invention comprehends the combination with a strip of waistband material of a superficial line, or parallel lines, of loops formed from a thread comprising comparatively resilient, frictional material such as natural rubber (latex) or synthetic rubber such as neoprene applied to the interior surface of the waistband, as worn, in overlapping convolutions.
  • a strip of waistband material of a superficial line, or parallel lines, of loops formed from a thread comprising comparatively resilient, frictional material such as natural rubber (latex) or synthetic rubber such as neoprene applied to the interior surface of the waistband, as worn, in overlapping convolutions.
  • cut rubber which is obtainable commercially as a continuous length on a bobbin or spool, and which is rectangular in cross-section, e.g. square.
  • Other polygonal cross-sectional configurations are suitable so long as there is desirably presented a plurality of relatively sharp corners.
  • rubber I intend to encompass both natural and synthetic rubber, as well as other materials of a rubberlike character, which possess substantial resiliency, i.e. rebound, together with a friction surface, and yet which are sufliciently flexible to allow the ready formation thereof into the desired overlapping convolutions.
  • a single ridge longitudinally continuous of the waistband provides a very acceptable result for most applications but I do not exclude the employment of a plurality of ridges.
  • Waistband material for wearing apparel in general consists of a woven fabric cut into strips from a bolt of raw material which has been cut on the bias.
  • the waistband material also generally includes two or more super-imposed layers of strips of fabric of a number and character dictated by the style and end use of the garment, assembled by any conventional stitching method and supplied to the garment maker in rolls, although the invention may be embodied in a single layer of such base fabric.
  • the waistband material per se, forms no part of the invention; and it may be stated, also, that such material is not noticeably stretchable in the direction of its length.
  • the frictional means of the invention may be incorporated with the waistband material at the same time as the several layers thereof are sewn together, or such means may be incorporated thereafter at the pleasure of the manufacturer.
  • a base fabric e.g. a piece of waistband material 10, as previously described, but which, for simplicity and clarity of exposition, is illustrated as a single thickness.
  • This result is desirably obtained by the use of a sewing machine which will form convoluted loops in substantially overlapped relation, the rubber being fed from a source of supply, e.g. a cone-shaped package and the simultaneous anchoring of such rubber loop formations to the base fabric by stitches 12 of conventional thread, eig. cotton or nylon.
  • the anchoring stitches 12 need not themselves be elastic.
  • a sensible ridge may be formed having the desired function.
  • One mode of achieving the desired construction is to utilize a sewing machine capable of forming a double lock stitch, as shown diametrically in FIG. 3.
  • This figure is not to be regarded as a true representation of the physical nature of the convolutions but is included simply to assist in understanding the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • Various other loop formations may be availed of except that the double lock stitch is readily run on machines presently available, and has the important advantage of being nonravelling.
  • the anchoring stitches where looped toengage the rubber, pass through the base fabric. Again the tension of the locking, or anchoring, stitches may be easily regulated to obtain this result.
  • FIG. 1 shows the anchoring loops exemplificatively as a single thread the same may, obviously, be in multiple.
  • the ridge of rubber loops is of comparatively small area and not constrictive in'a longitudinal direction. Accordingly, the flesh of the wearer is not'subjected to pressure as is the case with elastic waistbands presently available which frequently result in wheals.
  • the shirt, blouse, or other garment which is tucked into the lower garment may be satisfactorily prevented from sliding or working upwardly by the use of the invention provided, of course, that the waistband is properly fitted to the wearer. where the waistband is a poor fit and is then gathered, for example, by a male drawing his belt more tightly, the
  • a waistband for incorporation-with an article of apparel to provide implemented frictional engagement of the article with another article of apparel worn in overlapping relation therewith comprising a flat-lying base fabric having an outstanding ridge consisting of unstressed convolutions of non-circular rubber thread twisted on its 4.
