GEORGE H. TAYLOR, OF NEYV YORK, N. Y.

BEADED RUCHING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent/N0. 463,651, dated November 24, 1891.

Application filed June 8, 1891. Serial No. 395,475. (No specimens.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. TAYLOR, a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Beaded Ruchings, Trimmings, &c., of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improved ruching, trimming, and the like, having beads set along the edge or face, said beads being attached to the fabric by an undulating thread that is secured to the face of the fabric, as hereinafter fully explained.

My object is to construct a beaded ruching or similar trimming, so that the beads may be securely retained in place no matter at what place'the trimming is cut. Heretofore the beads were so held that when the bead-retaining thread was out several beads dropped off.

My invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a face view of my improved beaded ruching. Fig. 2 is a face View of a modification thereof. Fig. 3 is a top view, partly in longitudinal section on the line 3 3, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a cross-section on line 4 4, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a cross-section on the line 5 5, Fig. 2.

Similar letters refer to similar parts.

A is the body of the ruching or fabric.

1) b are beads which are held by a thread d. This thread d is undulating, as shown in Figs. and 2, its main portion being placed on the fabric A, While the loops may project beyond the edge of the fabric to retain the beads. The undulating body of the thread dis secured to the fabric A in suitable manner. Two modes of fastening it are shown. In Figs. 1, 3, and 4 it is shown retained between two thicknesses a a of fabric that constitute the body A and that are united by means of gum or paste.

In Figs. 2 and 5 rows of stitches o c are shown for confining the undulating thread d to the body A, which body may be in one or more thicknesses. The end of each loop is completely concealed in and protected by the head which it. carries. Yet each bead can freely turn on the loop which carries it. By means-of the undulating thread d, whose body extends to a greater or less extent over the face of the fabric A, the beads are properly retained and none will drop off nor slide on the thread cl, even if the fabric is cut at any place between beads. The beads to which I here refer have each but a single aperture. Ruchings and trimmings thus decorated with beads are manufactured in long strips and sold to customers in shorter lengths, and it is essential that the beads on the pieces thus cut off shall remain in place.

Having described my invention, what I claim is 1. As a new article of manufacture, the trimming herein described, the same consisting ofthe body fabric A, the undulating thread d, resting on the face of said body fabric, and the beads b, that are held in and conceal the loops'of the thread cl, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The trimming herein described the same consisting of the body fabric A, made in two thicknesses a a, of the undulating thread d, confined between said thicknesses and forming loops, and of beads 19, held in and concealing the said loops, and of means, substantially as described, for uniting said thicknesses a a and securing the undulating thread (1 thereto, all combined, substantially as herein shown and described.
