TOWEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 752,033, dated February 16, 1904. Application filed November 12, 1902. Serial No. 130,937. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK CLEWLEY, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Towels, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists of a towel formed of a knitted fabric with openings therein at intervals and constructed of longitudinallyextending threads, which are alternately divided and spread to the right and left and united by transversely r extending threads, forming pieces of fabric with spaces or openings between them.
Figure 1 represents aperspective view of a towel embodying my invention. Fig. .2 represents a face view of a portion thereof on an enlarged scale. Figs. 3 and 4 represent, on enlarged but different scales, portions of such towel.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.
Referring to the drawings, A designates a towel which is composed of the body portion B and end or fringe portions C. The towel is formed of longitudinally-extending threads D and transversely-extending threads E E, which are knitted together to form first the body portion B and end or fringe portions C. In the body portion are spaces F at intervals, so that the towel is alternately a close and open fabric. In making the towel Iknit the fringe portion of the threads D and E, producing separate fringes. Then the threads D of each fringe are divided in series, some being passed to the right, as No. 1, and some passed to the left, as No. 2. Then the threads D arecontinued, passed alternately to the left and right. Then Nos. 1 and 2 are knitted by threads E E, producing what I may term a block G of fabric. Some of the threads D of the adjacent fringe are passed to the left, as No. 3, and some to the right, as No. 4. Then the threads D are continued, passed alternately to the left and right. Nos. 3 and 4 are now knitted by threads E E", producing what I term block H, it being noticed that as the threads D have been separated and diverted to the right and left, as above stated, a space F is left between the blocks G H.
Several blocks with the intervening spaces F, as above, are formed throughout the body,
while for the side edges of the towel the threads D of the outside fringes are each composed of only a number of such threads, as 5, and
threads E are knitted with the same.
The form of stitch is shown in Figs. 3 and 4 of the drawings, those in Fig. 3 being very greatly enlarged and a portion of the threads shaded, so as to clearly distinguish between the vertical threads D, which are in the form of a continuous warp-chain of knitted threads and the transverse threads E, by which the parallel chains are united. It will be seen that a plurality of the warp or filler threads E engage with and unite a group shown as four of the Weft-chains D, leaving aspace be- Various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention, and I do not, therefore, desire to be limited in each case to the same.
Having thus described my invention, whatI claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is
l. A knitted towel having a weft-thread formed into continuous chains of knitted loops and a warp consisting of a plurality of series of filling-threads, each series uniting groups of the weft-chains to produce alternate closed blocks and open spaces.
2. A knitted towel havinga weft consisting of continuous chains of knitted loops united into groups by a series of warp or filler threads, the chains being alternately deflected to the right and left by the shogging of the filler-threads, whereby alternate closed blocks and open spaces are produced.
FRANK CLEWLEY.
