UNITED STATES Patented July 19, 1904.
PATENT OFFICE.
FIBER STRIP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 765,238, dated July 19, 1904.
Application filed May 3, 1904. Serial No. 206,179. (No specimens.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ISAAC H. GOODMAN, of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fiber Strips, whereof the following is a specification.
Fiber strips are made by treating fiat slivers of fibrous material with a cementing material, such as glue, and when slit into ribbons and plaited are employed for millinery and dress trimmings. Such strips are usually made wholly of ramie fibers, wholly of silk fibers, or wholly of wool fibers, and although the ribbons or other trimmings formed from such strips possess considerable longitudinal strength they are disintegrated when subjected to slight transverse strains.
I have discovered that by properly mixing a vegetable fiber, such as ramie, with an animal fiber, such as wool, a strip may be formed having a greater capacity to resist transverse strains than a strip made of either material alone.
Whatever may be the nature of the fiber employed in the manufacture of such strips, the cementing material must be employed in very limited quantity, as otherwise the strip not only loses its luster, but is so brittle that it breaks when plaited. The quantity of cementing material being necessarily limited, as aforesaid, to insure the required pliability of such strips, their uses have been much limited by reason of their tendency to disintegrate under lateral strains. This is especially true of strips formed wholly of wool fibers,which do not readily receive the cementing material. Consequently a Woolen strip is exceedingly fragile under lateral strains, appearing to derive its strength from the mere interlacing and incipient felting of the fibers resulting from their crinkled form rather than from any adhesion due to the cement. On the contrary, ramie fiber is fluffy, (the same is true of other vegetable fibers,) and the fluff becomes entangled in the glue, so that there is considerable adhesion between parallel fibers. However, owing to the straightness of the ramie fibers they tend to lie parallel in the sliver, so that no lateral strength of a ramiegber strip is derived from interlacing of the hers.
I have discovered that as a result of the intermixture of a crinkled animal fiber with a straight or flufiy vegetable fiber I obtain a sliver to which the glue is able to adhere tenaciously, and the resulting strip while lacking the brittleness of the ramie strip possesses greater lateral coherence and strength than is possessed by either the all-wool or all-ramie strip.
I obtain further advantages as a result of such a mixture in that the ramie imparts to the strip the desired degree of resilience and luster, while the wool in addition to imparting strength is a cheaper material and makes the product less expensive than if it were composed exclusively of ramie.
In the practice of my invention I take about equal quantities of a vegetable fiber-for instance, ramie-and an animal fiber-for instance, wooland intimately intermix them. Then a flat sliver of the mixed fiberssay six to twelve inches in breadthis led through a drum containing a heated solution of glue. After passing between rollers by which the glue is expressed the flatly-pressed strip is finished by being dried.
It is to be understood that I do not desire to limit myself to the particular fibers above named or to the employment of equal parts of the different fibers in the mixture.
Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. A fiber strip, composed of an intermixture of animal and vegetable fibers united by an adhesive, substantially as described.
2. A fiber strip, composed of an intermixture of ramie and wool fibers united by an adhesive, substantially as described.
3. A fiber strip, composed of an intermixture of ramie and wool fibers, in approximatelyequal parts united by an adhesive, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name, at Philadelphia. Pennsylvania, this 2d day of May, 1904.
ISAAC H. GOODMAN.
