JOSEPH LUNER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
METHOD OF OBNAMENTING WEARING-APPAREL.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH LUNER, asubject of the Empire of Austria-I-Iungary, and resident of Chicago, in Cook county, State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Ornamenting earing-Apparel; and I do hereby declare that the following description of my said invention, taken in connection with the accompanying sheet of drawings, forms a full, clear, and exact specification.
This invention has general reference to improvements in the art of ornamenting shirt bosoms, shirt-waists and other articles of wearing apparel that are starched and laundried before being worn; and it consists in the novel and peculiar method. of producing ornamental designs on said wearing apparel when being laundried, as hereinafter first fully set forth and described, and then pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings already referred to, Figure 1 is a plan view of an article of wear, ornamented in accordance with my method of laundrying. Fig. 2 is a view of a portion of said article, drawn on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the same on line a: w of Fig. 2.
Fig. 1 represents a laundried shirt, shirtwaist or the like, the bosom A. of which has a series of plaits B, on which the ornamental design is produced. These plaits are, preferably, quite narrow, and close together, they being approximately one-eighth of an inch wide and of a sufficient number to produce a pleasing effect. In order to produce this ornamentation, the shirt or other article of l wear, is first starched and laundried in the usual manner, and then the plaits are raised to a vertical position, as shown at a in Figs. 2 and 3. This is best accomplished while the article of wearing apparel is still moist and Warm from having been ironed flat with a fiat-iron, by passing a blunt instrument, such as a dull knife or dull paper cutter underneath the fiat plaits and lifting them to the vertical position mentioned. This instrument must not, of necessity, be of metal, but it must be perfectly clean, and it needs not be heated as long as the plaits are still Warm and in a flexible condition, after which these vertical plaits are indented or crimped,

as illustrated at I), which may be done by pressing the blunt edge or back of a knife against the vertical plaits at the various places where the indentations b are to appear, or these indentations may be produced by means of a pair of crimping tongs such as women are in the habit of using for haircrimping purposes, applied to the vertically standing plaits, and, if desired, the portions of these plaits between the crimps may be slightly inclined, as indicated at c, which may be effected by touching with one of the flat sides of the knife or other tool, the edges of the vertical plaits between the indenta tions 6, and thereby slightly deflecting the vertically standing portion of said plaits from their vertical position, which will heighten the ornamental effect of the design.
I desire to call attention to the fact that my present method of ornamenting a shirt bosom by starching and ironing is applicable only to such shirt bosoms in which the plaits and folds and the portions between and adjacent to the plaits are flat, in contradistinction to a shirt bosom having ruflied plaits, or one in which the plaits as well as the folds between the plaits are crimped or ruffled in the process of sewing. A shirt of the latter class can never be ironed flat, owing to the gathered material in the plaits and the material adjacent to the plaits, while my method of ornamenting heretofore described is applicable only to flat shirt fronts.
A shirt ornamented as described, presents a highly artistic effect. The indentations, though preferably but slight can be easily seen, especially when viewed in artificial light, and they may be of any design adapted to the purpose and can be rapidly produced after this art of ornamenting has been acquired.
Having thus fully described this invention, I claim as new and desire to secure to me by Letters Patent of the United States The method of ornamenting starched and laundried articles of wearing apparel having a series of flat unrufl'led plaits and flat unruflled portions between and adjacent to said plaits as described, consisting in starching and flat-ironing the article to be ornamented, then raising said plaits to an approxnnately vertical position, then indentg fitness mg or crimping these vertical plaits to a hand in the preseiie of two subscribing vii predetermined ornamental design to be pro- I nesses. duced the portions between and adjacent to 1 1 T said ertical plaits remaining flat, as de- JOSEPH LULER' 5 scribed. I l/Vitnesses:
In testimony that I claim the foregoing MICHAEL J. STARK,
as my invention, I have hereunto set my A. G. PETERSON.
