WAISTBAND FOR GARMENTS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. s1, 1907.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB KAPLAN, of Utica, in the county of Oneida and State of New York,v have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Waistbands for Garments; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the lettersl of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.

The object of my present invention is to provide an improved construction of waistand for arments (more particularly trou sers) Whic can be made rapidl on sewing machines ofordinary and well own construction. y

Figure 1 shows in section the band and canvas stiffening sewed Atogether in one of the early operations of constructing the band; Fig. 2 shows in cross section the band sewed tothe body of the garment and the canvas stili'ening piece turned in a succeeding operation. Fig. 3 shows in cross section the band, canvas stiffening and the lining with its skirt in the relative position which the' parts assume when the lining is being stitched to the band. Fig. l shows the same as Fig. 3 after the lining has been turned substantially into its normal completed po completed ,sitiorL- Fig 5 shows in cross section the and in connection with a portion of the material of the body of the garment. Fig. 6 shows a plan View of the sewing or stitching which secures the lining to the; upper edge of the band, laid out in plan view. 1g. 7 shows in combination perspective and cross section fronrthe inner side the complated band. A

Referring to the reference'letters and fig.- ures in a more particular description, 1 indicates the strip of material which constitutes the band and which, in the case of trousers, is of the same material as the body 2 of the trousers. In the iirst operation thore is stitched to the band 1 the canvas stiiiening 3, which is a stri of material somewhat wider than the widt of the band. This stitching is the ordinary-through and through stitching of the overlapping edges of the twoparts 1 and 2, and is indicated by 4. After the material has been prepared as shown in Fi 1, the band 1 is stitched yto the body 2, wh` e the two parts are laid together face to face; then after being folded into the position shown in Fig. 2 'the canvas stiifening 3 is stitched to` the garment by aline of stitches indicated at 6. The lining 7, which is a strip of thin material of suflicient width, is then stitched to the edge of the band 1 by a cross stitching or zigzag machine, producing the character of stltch shown at 8. stitching is done while the band with its stiifening and the body of the lining lay out This fiat in the same plane as shown in Fi s. 3 and v 6, and the' edge of the lining p iece wi l preferably have been turned as indlcatedat 7a and the two edges fed to the machine, abutting against each other, as shown in Fig. 3.

Prior to the stitching of the band lining 7, it may be provided with a skirt 9 of folded material stitched thereto, as indicated at 1'0, if preferred. After the sewin at 8 has been performed, the lining 7 Wil be turned inwardly into the-position shown in Figs. 4 and 'i 5 and the skirt 9 be preferably tacked at intervals, as indicated at 11, t'o the body of the garment by blind stitches, which do not show through the garment, and which last mentioned operation is performed by hand v work.

ln the 4construction-of band herein shown, all the sewing is accomplished by machine except the tacling at the point 11, which is a comparatively small,l amount. Also, the work when finished exhibits the uniform stitch incident to machine work and eliminates the defective stitching 'of hand-work,

inner face of the band around the upper edge of which strip the inturned upper edge of band is folded, and said inturned edge sewed to the stilfening and the stiifening sewed to the garment along the line of the seam between the band and the body, and a strip of lining applied to the inner face of stiening nature, in presence or two Witnesses, this having a folded upper edge formed by an 24th day of Mey 1907. outward turn ofthe lining material, said edge stitched by cross seein stitches to the upper JACOB KAPLAN' 5 edge of the band and tacked at its lower edge, Witnesses: l

substantially as set forth. GEO. E. RENDELL,

In witness whereof, I have affixed my sig- SARAH E. CLARK.
