Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
C. O. CROSBY AND HENRY KELLOGG, OF HAVEN, CONNECTICUT.
IMPROVEMENT IN DOUBLE FRILLINGS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 38,289, dated April 28, 1863.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it knownthat we, C. O. CROSBY and HENRY KELLOGG, of the city of New Haven,
in the State of Connecticut, have invented aV new article of manufacture, which we term Double Frilling, and thefollowing,takenin connection with the drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
In the drawings, Figure lis a plan ofa piece of frilling, and Fig. 2 is an edge view of the frilling cut intwo longitudinally along the center thereof.
This article of manufacture is made from ribbon or narrow strips of fabric with or without selva ges and either hemmed or unhem med on the edges. We prefer to make it of thin muslin with both edges hemmed.
The article can be made most conveniently on a trilling-machine, an application for a patent on which is now pending; but it may be made by other machinery or by hand.
In order to make the article we take a narrow strip of a suitable fabric and hem both edges thereof. The whole fabric is then plaited up into regular and narrow folds, as shown in Fig. 2, and these folds aresecured in place by two lines of stitching running parallel or nearly so with the length of the finished article. By this Vconstruction a center line of folds, plaits, or frills, each held in place by stitching, runs through the center of the article, these plaits lying flat one upon the other, and outside ot' this center the plaits expand or open gradually, giving the appearance shown on the drawings.
When the machine invented by us is used, these plaits or crimps are made by an automatic crimper, are folded flat as fast as made by a smoother, so as to have a welldefined edge to each crimp or plait, and are held in place while the two seams are sewed through them by stitching mechanism.
When the article is made by hand, the crimps may be made by a knife or two knives, and the plaits should then be ironed down to define their edges, which are held in place by starch or gum applied previously and hardened by the iron, and then two seams should be sewtd lengthwise, so as to secure them in place.
We prefer to make the article by machinery, knowing that when so made itpresents a much handsomer and more regular appearance, and that it can bemanufactured much more cheaply by machinery than by hand.
The essential characteristics of the article are, that it is made of one piece, that it has in the center a line of crimps, each with a welldefined edge sewed down, so as to lie flat, and held in place by at least two longitudinal seams, and that beyond the seams, and on each side ofthe center, project two frills composed of crimps gradually opening ont from each other as they extend from the seam to the edges of the finished article.
The article is useful as an edging or trimming for dresses and similar articles, and may be used whole or cut longitudinally through the center. More than two rows ot'seams may be used, but the article musthave at least two rows of stitches, as a b c d. rlhe center of the article is shown ate e and the expanding crimps of the edges at ff. We sometimes intend to vary the crimping by making the crimps of different lengths, or to leave short spaces in the fabric uncrimped.
We claim as ot' our invention- The articlev of manufacture called double frilling,7 having the essential characteristics substantially as herein described, or, in other words, made of one piece with a center line of crimps or plaits, each with a welldefined edge secured in place and held iiat and smooth by at least two longitudinal seams, with two frills composed of crimps extending outward from such seams, the crimps or plaits outside ofthe seams gradually expanding to the edges of the completed article.
In testimony whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names.
C. O. CROSBY. HENRY KELLOGG.
