(54) HEAT SEALABLE/FUSIBLE TEXTILE ASSEMBLY AID (71) We, VILENE LIMITED, - Ellis- tones Lane, Greetland, Halifax, and H.G.
GRAHAM & SON LIMITED, Camcol House, Station Road, Morley, Leeds LS27 8JS, both British companies, do hereby declare this invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed to be particularly described in and by the following Statement: The present invention relates to textile assembly aids and in particular to improved fusible tapes.
Many textile assemblies require the joining together of two textile sheets as for example a hem. Conventionally this may be carried out by stitching but in many cases it is required that the stitching should not be obvious as for example in the case of the bottom hem of a trouser leg. In such cases it is usually necessary to use expensive "blindstitch" machinery.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an aid for the joining of textile sheets.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an improved method of joining together of textile sheets.
The present invention provides a fusible tape comprising two strips of tape each coated on one side with a heat-activatable adhesive material, the strips being joined each along one edge to the other with the coated sides of the two strips facing in opposite directions away from each other. Conveniently, the strips are joined together by stitching of a narrow overlap, preferably uncoated face-to-uncoated face, so that slightly more than half of each side of the resulting fusible tape is coated. If desired the two single sided strips required for the fusible tape of the present invention may be obtained by splitting longitudinally a single length of single-sided tape.
The fusible tape of the present invention may be affixed to textile sheet material in the same way as conventional fusible tape viz. by heat pressing with the consequential advantages of speed and obviation of the need for expensive stitching machinery. A further advantage provided by the present invention is that, the tape having an uncoated strip portion behind each coated portion, good flexibility is obtained in the textile sheets joined by the tape, which would not be possible if for example the whole of each side of the tape were to be coated with fusible material.
Advantageously one or both edges of the fusible tape of the present invention may be gimped to provide a less positive demarcation line at said edge, which has the advantage of providing a less prominent and more gradual transition from a fabric portion to which the fusible tape has been fusedly attached to an adjacent fabric portion. This advantage is particularly beneficial when delicate light-weight fabrics are employed.
In the present context 'gimped' is used to describe a zig-zag serration in an outer side edge of the fusible tape. The gimping may be formed in any conventional manner, for example, by cutting or shearing. The shape of the outline of the gimping and its depth relative to the width of the fusible tape may be varied according to the requirements of the intended use of the fusible tape. Conveniently though the side edges of the individual teeth of the gimped edge are inclined at an angle of about 45" to the longitudinal axis of the fusible tape. Advantageously the depth of the gimping is of the order of 25%of the width of the fusible tape so that in the case of a tape 60mm wide the gimping extends some 15mm into the tape.
The fusible tape of the present invention may be used to join textile sheets in various ways as illustrated hereinbelow.
In a further aspect the present invention provides, a method of making a hem com prising insertion of a fusible tape of the present invention as described hereinbefore, between the main part of the outer fabric and an inner lining and/or portion of fabric joined to a free edge of the main part of the outer fabric, at or close to said free edge to form a hem assembly and heat pressing said hem assembly.
In another aspect the present invention provides a method of joining a first textile sheet to a second textile sheet comprising location of a fusible tape of the present invention as described hereinbefore with the coated portion of one side adjacent the first textile sheet and the coated portion of the other side adjacent the second textile sheet to form an assembly and heat pressing said assembly.
The following examples illustrate some possible applications with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a schematic cross-section of a raincoat or jacket hem with facing and lining; and Figure 2 is a schematic cross-section of a raincoat or jacket hem or a lined curtain hem.
In Figure 1 there is shown the hem of a coat or jacket in which the main part of the outer fabric 1 has attached to its free edge 2 by a stitched plain seam 3, a first edge 4 of a band 5 of outer fabric turned back behind the outer fabric 1. and an inner lining 6 having its free edge 7 attached by a stitched plain seam 8 to the second edge 9 of the band 5. The hem which conventionally would be finished off by blind stitching of the band 5, e.g. at its second edge 9, to the main part of the outer fabric 1, is completed by a fusible tape 10 of the present invention which comprises a narrow strip 11 of one-sided fusible tape which is stitched 12 uncoated face-to-uncoated face, along edge 13 to the edge 14 of a broad strip 1 S of one-sided fusible tape.The fusible tape 10 is disposed between the band 5 and the main part of the outer fabric 1, with the coated face 16 of the broad strip 15 adjacent the band of fabric 5 and the coated face 17 of the narrow strip 11 adjacent a part 18 of the main part of the fabric 1 which part 18 is opposite the lining 6, so that when the hem is heat pressed the narrow strip 11 adheres only to the main part of the outer fabric 1 whilst the broad strip 15 adheres only to the band of fabric 5 and optionally to the lining. By this means the main part of the outer fabric 1 is effectively connected to the band 5 and the lining 6 by the stitching 12 of the fusible tape thereby retaining maximum flexibility in the hem.
Figure 2 shows another type of hem in which a band 25 adjacent the edge 29 of the main part 21 of the outer fabric is turned up behind the main part 21 and is joined by stitching 28 in a plain seam to the edge 27 of the lining 26. The fusible tape 30 comprising two narrow strips of one-sided fusible tape 31 and 35 joined together along one edge of each uncoated face-to-uncoated face, by stitching 32 are located between the main part 21 and folded over band 25 by stitching 39 along the line of the stitching 32 of the tape 30 attaching the tape 30 to the free edge 29 of the outer fabric beyond the plain seam stitching 28.The tape 30 is disposed with one coated face 37 adjacent a part 38 of the main part 1 of the outer fabric opposite the lining 26 and the other coated face 36 adjacent the band 35 of outer fabric so that when the hem is heat pressed the coated faces 36, 37 of the strips 31 and 35 adhere to the band 25 and the main part 31 of the fabric, respectively.
