same, whereby its strength and durability are increased.

It also consists of a waterproof or repellent facing on the body of the protector, as will be hereinafter described. 1

Figures 1 and 2 represent elevations of opposite sides of a piece of skirt-protector embodying my invention. Fig. 3 represents a vertical section on line a; so, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 represents a detailed view showing the threads forming the bottom of the protector and anumber of weft-threads, particularly illustrating said weft-threads passeddoubly around said bottom threads. Fig. 5 represents a vertical section on line m 00, Fig. 4. Fig. 6 represents a vertical section on line y y, Fig. 4..-

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a skirt protector which is composed of the head B, the bottom 0, and facing D, the latter being stitched or otherwise secured to said head and consisting of a piece of waterproof material adapted to besecured to a a thick and heavy body of a strong and durable nature, it being formed of a number of threads 0, as warps below the warps proper, employed to form the head B and weftthreads E, which are continuous of those woven with said warp-threads properin producing said head B. As the weaving of the head progresses the weft-threads thereof are passed around said bottom threads 0 and again run around said threads, forming a double winding of the weft-threads around said threads E, as shown in E, after which the weft-threads are returned to the head B and, furthermore, woven with the warpthreads, thus continuing the formation of the head, the weft-threads being again extended to the threads 0 and passed around the same and doubled, as before, thus uniting the threads 0 with the head B and doubly increasing the winding of the weft-threads around said threads 0, completing the bottom Oof the protector and reinforcing, and consequently vastly strengthening, the same. As there is a plurality of threads E E, which constitute the binders of the protector proper and head, said protector proper is thereby rendered compact, While the threads 0 are completely enveloped and so removed from exposure and direct contact with the.side-.

The lower portion of the facing D is turned up, forming the fold F, which rests upon the head and causes said portion to be flush with the protector proper, C," so that the latter is protected against severe Wear, especially in front, While the bend of said facing strength- .at the bottom of said head, said protector conparallel warp-threads and a Weft common to A both portions and having a plurality of wind- 10 I ings about said bottom warp-threads for each sisting of a longitndinally-extending thread and binding weft-threads which are continuous of the weft-threads of said head, said bindingthreads having a plurality of windings around said bottom thread.
