BANDEAU.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 20, 1906.

Patented June 16, 1908.

Serial No. 331,330.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, RUTH J. NIoHoLs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Stillwater, in the county of Payne, Oklahoma, have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Bandeau, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to bandeaux and the object of the invention is to provide a bandeau in which only two rows of stitching are required and which can be made very quickly and cheaply.

The invention consists of the novel features of construction hereinafter set forth, pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bandeau as constructed by me. Fig. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the motive construction, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of an end portion of a bandeau showing the first step in the manufacture of the same. Fig. 4 is a similar view showing the second step, Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of an end portion showing the final step. Fig. 6 is an enlarged end view of the lower portion of a bandeau ready for use.

In these drawings A represents the buckram, and B a facing of velvet or velveteen, and C a ribbon wire. In forming the bandeau, the facing B is laid upon the buckram A and the ribbon wire C is then laid along the facing one edge of each of the three coinciding with edges of the other and they are secured together by a line of stitching 2, as shown in the drawings.

The facing B which was originally placed face down upon the buckram is then folded over the ribbon wire C and over the adjacent edge of the buckram A and laid across the opposite or outer face of the buckram and the upper edge of the velveteen is then secured by a line of stitching 1 to the buckram.

It will be obvious that the wire ribbon C is entirely inclosed upon both sides by the facing B, and that two rows of stitching 1 and 2, complete the bandeau. By means of this manner of construction, there is a considerable saving of both material and labor. The materials used are in strips of considerable length and are cut transversely to form the bandeau after the materials have been stitched.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and Letters Patent, is

1. A bandeau comprising a relatively stiff material, a flexible material secured to the outer face of the stifl material by a row of stitching adjacent the upper edge of the flexible material, the flexible material being carried under the lower edge of the stiff material and folded upon itself upon the inner desire to secure by side of the stiff material, and ribbon wire held in said folded portion of the flexible material and stitched thereto.

2. A bandeau comprising a strip of relatively stiff material, a strip of facing, and a strip of ribbon wire, the ribbon wire and the lower edge of'the flexible material being stitched to the lower edge portion of the stiff material and the upper edge of the facing being stitched to the outer face of the stiff material, the flexible material being folded over the inner face of the ribbon wire and over the lower edge of the stiff material.

3. A bandeau comprising a strip of buck ram, a strip of facing, and a strip of wire ribbon, the three being connected by one row of stitching adjacent the lower edges of the facing and the buckram, the facing and wire ribbon being stitched to the lower edge portion of the buckram, and the facing being brought over the wire ribbon and under the buckram and then over its outer face and secured to said outer face, by a row of stitching extending along the upper marginal portion of the facing.
