DESIGN FOR THE ORNAMENTATION OF SKIRTS, LlNlNGS, 800.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No.1'7,810, dated October 25, 1887.

Application filed September 5, 1887. Serial No. 248,907.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, AUGUST HILDI, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and original Design for Surface Ornamentation of Skirts, Linings, and other Similar Articles, of which the following is a specification.

My design is for the surface ornamentation [O of skirts, linings, and other similar articles; and it consists of the parallel lines of tangent circles and the intervening rows of lozenge shaped figures or parallclograms arranged and disposed all as will hereinafter more fully ap- I5 pear.

1n the accompanying drawing I have represented in a single figure a portion (containing all the elements) of my design as it appears when applied to or upon the article or goods, dotted lines being employed to indicate stitches, and these lines being arranged or grouped in accordance with my design, this illustration beingdccrncd suilicient for purposes of this specification.

For convenience of description the various parts of the design may be referred to as follows: A A A are circles located one above the other in parallel lines of any number and tangent to or touching each other, as will be observed. B B B are circles similar to circlcs A A A, and are similarly disposed, forming another vertical row parallel with the first. Any two rows are separated from each other by a distance near or about five times the length of one of the radii, in order that the intervening lozenge-shaped figures may be suitably proportioned. Any number of these vertical rows of circles may be added, and thus the design made to cover any desired extent of surface.

Between the circles A A are straight lines of stitching extending from the extremity of the horizontal diameter of one circle to corresponding points on circles in the next row, not extending horizontally, nor yet to the circle next to the one above or below that in the same level, but to the second one above or below, as shown, the arrangement being such as to form aseries of lozenges or parallelograms, as a b c d, touching each other and the circles in the manner shown. These lozenges will be varied in size by varying the size of the circles and the distance of the rows from Term of patent T years.

each other. Between any two circles in the same level (except at the bottom or margin) this arrangement affords two complete lozenges or parallelograms.

The description so far indicates the general principles upon which the lines and circles are grouped.

To increase the number of lines and circles in any given space, the same general arrangement is followed for the groundwork, a second series of lines and circles precisely like the first being employed, as indicated at the lower part of the figure, wherein, for instance,

a circle, as A, has its center located at the point of tangency of two circles A. The same arrangement is followed in each vertical row.

The cross lines between all the circles drawn, as before explained, form a series of small lozenges, as will be readily seen, and these fill the space between the vertical rows of circles.

The groundwork alone may constitute the whole design in any portion, or the duplicate thereof may be entirely employed. I prefer to employ both together, the lower part forming a heavy margin for the pattern, while the upper part appears lighter; but the upper and lower parts may be reversed, if desired.

This design is to be distinguished from one in which the groundwork or base includes rows of circles not tangent to each other, and also from one in which the lower or heavier 8 part shows only circles tangent and not intersecting each other, as illustrated herein.

1 do not broadly claim herein a design made up of vertical rows of circles and intervening lozenge figures; but,

Having nowfully described my design, what I do claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The design for the surface ornamentation of skirts, 850., consisting of the parallel lines of tangent circles and the intervening rows of lozengeshaped figures or parallelograms, under the arrangement substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

AUGUST HILDT.
