SAMUEL KOPS, F NEW YORK, N. Y., SSIGNOR TO KOPS BROS-, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

ELABIIG WEBBING.

To all whom it m4/y concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL Kors, a citizen of the United. States, residing at the borough of Manhattan,- eity, county, and State of-New York, .Llave invented an ImF proveme'nin-Elltstic Webbing, of which the ollowmg isI a slpecication. Elastic web ing Afor various uses is parallel sided and of predetermined widths Within certain limits and the width of said webbing .limits the length of the line of sewing or connection of the same to an article of su port, consequently the strainis not distripbuted over as large an avea as is desirable and if the elastic webbing were as wide as is desirable for distributing the strain, any connecting devices or metallic vparts attached thereto would4 be unnecessarily wide, large, clumsy andexiensive.

-Il'i t these objections by making the elastic web bin tapering and 1n view of -the fact that the ad ustment re uired of any fastening device is comparative yslight, the varying width ol' the elastic webbin for this amountof. adj ustment is negligibgle.

haveV discovered that given or predetermined lengths of elastic webbing suliicient for the desired article or use can be woven as described.

tapering so that the vwidth at .the wide part is almost double the width at the narrow part. I have also discovered that these tapering portions or lengths can be made continuous and reversed, that is, in a continuous strip in which the wide and narrow parts follow one another in snc-cession. y In other words, in which the respective tapering parts follow ono anotherrin successive and reversed positions with the narrow ends together and th(` wide ends together, the continnous strip being adapted to.be severed either at the uarrowest parts or at the widest. parts, or at b oth places into separate elastic and non-elastic members as desired and according to the oliice to be performed by the same and also severed at any of said )laces I have also discovered that the weaving can be chanl ed as shown and described in Letters' atent #875,439, granted to me December' 31, 1907, and in which I have shown and described elastic. portions woven under tension at substantially the elastic limit oi' the completed web bing and adjacent parts that are woven with out tension or under normal conditions.

e device of my invention I overcomeY Reissued J une 8, 1909.

I prefer to employ in connection ,with the tapering strip for the 4resent application, sectlons that are forme between the wider ends of the tapering strips which are woven continuous with said strips and under normal conditions without tension so that while the taperin strips may be cut at the intersection of t e narrower arts, the said sections woven under norma conditions may be centrally cut so as to constitute parts to be sewed into the corset or other garment, or said parts may be severed at the narrower parts only according to the oiiice to be performed by the sec tions when so severed.

In the drawing, Fi ure 1 is la plan representing a strip of eIastic and non-elastic webbing adapted to be cut up into various lengths. Fig. 2 is a severed or broken plan view of a hose supporter length according to my invention. Fig. 3 is across section at the dotted line .1', r, of Fig-l. 2, and Fig. 4 is a cross section at the dotted line y, y, Fig. 2.

Referring to F ig. 1, a.y re iresents between the lines 2, 2, a length o elastic webbing woven under tension and at substantially the elastic limit of the completed webbing as usual in this art and which length is tapering between-maximum and minimum 'widths;

the minimum width or nari-cwest place beingT represented by the dotted line 3, which indicates the possible line of severance or division. The elastic webbing between the lines 2 is of suflicient length for the elastic portion of two hose supporters.

The sections l) l) are interposed betnf'cen the sections (t ny at the wider ends of the elastic sections; said sections b being short in their length in proportion to thc length ol: the seew tions (l- (1. '.lhese sections b b are woven in a normnl condition and without te] sion; they are substantially entirely non-`elnst c with the elastic strands of 'normal proportions and because ol their weaving withoulL tension. the warp threads are taut and the weft threads of the weaving are close together, compact JU and solid; the elastic strands of' full propontions without tension being helder pinched by andv between the woven strands.

Each length or section b `woven without adapted to be cut up substantially at theren-y ter along the dot-ted line 4. The continuous woven strip illustrated in Fig. l is thus adapted to be cut up into lengths' or sections tension and yunder normal conditions is 1.05

. at the dotted lines 3, at the narrower. porlil) Fig. 3 shows in cross section the elastic` strands and the weaving through the section ay woven under tension, or inother words, the elastic partsJ and Fig. 4 shows in section the elastic strands and the parts woven under normali conditions without tension, or` in other words, the'non-elastic arts.

ln Fig. 2 with the fabric have shown a clamp c, a loop d, a plate e and a hook f connected to the elastic ortion of the strip and going in connection therewith to form a complete hose supporter structure. The section or in other words, the non-elasticpart is adapted to be sewed to or into a corset or other garment at the desired place of attachment, to be sold for attachment to a corset or` v a corset-waist, or other article' of apparel.v

-By the non-elastic part the elastic strands are held in the threads rmly, in reality pinched so that the strands in the part a, when put under tension have a suitable .anchorage in their continuous portions that are held in the art b soit-hat their elasticity is even througliout; there being ne risk of these elastic threads breaking or pulling down into the channels of thc elastici'part a..

In attaching the elastic webbingl toa place of support or anchorage by threads which pass conditions or .without tension, that is, the part or section b, the threads pass through a part in which there is no Oive or stretch; the

i fabric being rigid. There orea rigid part of the webbing is connected to a rigid part of the garment or other part to which the webbing is attached and t e pull is upon the portion cb woven under tension from the part woven without tension, with .the result that there is no breaking of the elastic strands or pulling out of the fabric.

I claim as my invention I.

1. An elastic webbing consisting of a fiat strip formed narrow at one end and wide at the other, said strip being woven undertension and a part forming a continuation thereof from the wide end of the webbing woven under normal conditions without tension, the narrow end being adapted for connection with parts of a supporting device and the wide end to be sewed or otherwise secured into position for use.4

2. An elastic webbing consisting of a flat strip formed narrow at one end and wide at the other, said strip being woven under tension and a part forming a continu ation thereof from the wide end of the webbing woven under normal condition without tension in which the elastic strandsoi normal cross sectional area are held firmly in position,' the narrow end of the elastic fabric being adaptthrough the part woven under normal.

ed for connection with the engaging parts of a supporter device, andthe wide non-elastic end adapted to be sewed to a garment or other apparel in position for use.

3. An elastic webbing formed oi a continuous strip of series ofalternating sections, one series of alternating' sections being formed of predetermined length and tapering between maximum and minimum widths, and interparts, woven under normal conditions with: out tension, either or all of the sections of the to form a tapering webbing fdrthe desired use.

4. A length of elastic webbing adapted to be cut up land comprising alternate sections of predetermined length and' tapering throughout their length between maximum and minimum widths, which are loose woven or with s aced weft threads and adapted to yield un er tension and alternate short sections tight woven, or with close weft threads' length of webbing adapted to'be severed at respective sections. v

5f. An elastic webbin formed of a continu'- ous strip of seriesof a ternate-sections,y one series of alternate sections,` being formed vof other series of alternate; and intermediate sections woven under'normal conditions without tension, each of said'sections being tapering between maximum and minimum widths and the said strip being adapted to b e severed through-any one or more sections.

6; An elastic webbin formed of a continuous stri series o alternate sections being. formed of elastic webbing wovenunder tension and the other series vof alternate and. intermediate sections woven under 'normal conditions without tension, each of said sections being tapering between maximum and minimum widths, and the continuous strip of any desired width or inclination of taper.
