Application'fikd July 26, 1928. Serial No. 295,523.
My invention relates. to metallic mesh fabric of the .fishscale or coat-'of-mail l-Ieret-ofore the use of this type, of mesh fabric was limited in use to very few articlcs, and even in the arts, wher'einit had utility lts application was limited to employment only in conjunction with" articles peculiarly constructed for its incorporation. The edges of the fabric were so unevemiunsightly, and excessively flexible as not to be utilizable in the construction of bracelets, bands, girdles, belts, anklets, and-the like; and even when used in. the construction of mesh bagsspecialconstructionof thefjaws f the latter was required to conceal orattach thev edges of the mesh fabric thereto.
The essential objects of my invention are to enable this type of fabric to be universally used in the construction of articles similar'to and including allthose above referred to and others, and withoutthenecessity of concealment of the edges or anyspecial construction of any article to which the fabric is to be applied, to render the fabric ,sightly; and to effect these-ends in a -structure inexpensive to make. andpossessingthe To the above ends essentially my invention consists in suchparts and in such icolnbinations of parts as fall within thescope of the appended claims.
In the accompanymg drawings which form a part of this specificationz Figs. 1 and 2 are a front elevation and a side elevation respectively of fabric of the coat-of-mail type embodying my invention; Figs. 3 and 4, sections of the same on lines 33 -1-4t respectively of Fig, 1;'

viewof an unbent of, v
' 22. In Fig. ,8 two of theunits are shown Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the views.
The mesh fabric strip or piece 14, which isofa flexible character, is composed of par allel rows of thin metal ring links. 15. Between the rows of ring links are alternating rows of flat cruciform links or plates 16, each of which has fourcorner prongs 17 ,rearwardly bent into loops 18 and converg-- ing at the rear oft-he plates. Two prongs or loops of each cruciformlink loosely engage two rlnglinksofan upper rowofthe latter, and its two opposite prongs or loops similarly engage two ring links of a lower row of the latter. Thus all four edges of the fabric piece 14 are composed exclusivelyofring links 15 disposed adjacent each other with no portions of the cruciform links p'roj ecting therebetween.
It will be noted that each. edge of the fabric piece 14, formed the ring links 15,
constitutes. a series of annular projections presenting an unsightly broken outline .or
raw edge, andthatjthes'e edge links are so unsupported as to readily collapse. 4 i Y My fabric is completed byiapplyin'g to one or more edges of the piece a series of binding units 20 of a.structnre'pecuharly adapted to firmly adhere: to and stiffen the marginalseries of rings without depriving the margin of adequate flexibility, and at the same time affording a, substantially straight edgie for thepiece. Each unit is substantially transversely lJ-sha 'ied and is bent up from the flat pliable metallic blank comprising, as shown in- Fig. 5, a broad body portion 21 provided at one end with laterally and longitudinally directed diverging or'oblique fingers orprongs 22. In this instance the opposite end ofthe substantially rectangular body is curved as at 23. In applying the units to the marginal rings the fingers 22.are passed th'rough a nd folded over. two ad acent rings 15 so that the rings are enclosed in the resultant diverging loops or folds 21.- Thebentprongsare shown in detail in Figs. 6 and. 7. The formation ofjthe unit is continued by transversely bending the body 21 intermediate its length to form a fold 25 and a tongue portion 26 which is clamped over uponand-against'the fingers partially engaged. The widths of the units units are slightly spaced sufficiently to permit flexibility of the piece along its bound margin. The folds 25 are in longitudinal alinement along the piece, and thus form a .sightly edge. j
In Figure l the units 20 are applied to one edge only of the mesh fabric. In Fig/9 the units are applied to two opposite edges, and in Fig. 10 they are shown applied to all four edges. It is obvious that the units may be applied to as many edges of the mesh as may be demanded by the particular use for which the mesh fabric is desired. hen it is desired to apply the units to all four edges, as shown in Fig. 10, an improved effect is attained by attaching to the corner, units 29 bent up from a blank such as shown in Fig. 11 having a substantially rectangular body 30 with one corner preferablytruncated as at 31, and a diagonally disposed finger 32 extending from the opposite corner. The linger 32 is bent into a loop 33 enclosing a corner ring, and the body 30 is folded back along the broken rectagular lines 34 so that the resultant tongues or tongue portions 35 forms rectangular folds 36 and engage or overlapthe bent finger lVithout departing from the spirit of my invention other modes of applying the principle thereof may be employed instead of the one explained, change being made as regards the construction herein disclosed, provided the means stated by any of'the following claims or the equivalent of such stated means be employed.
I claim 1. In a metallic mesh fabric, parallel rows of ring links, parallel rows of cruciform links alternating With the rows of ring links, bent prongs upon the cruciform links engaging the adjacent ring links, and a se-- ginal row of ring links, and bent fingers upon the bodies loosely engaging the marginal row of links.
In a metallie mesh fabric, parallel rows of ring links, parallel rows of cruciform links alternating With the rows of. ring laks, bent prongs upon the cruciform links engaging the adjacent ring links, and a series of binding units comprising bodies provided with intermediate folds and tongue portions, and loops upon the bodies opposite the folds and engaged by the tongue portions and engaging a marginal row of ring links. V
4. In a metallic mesh fabric, parallel-rows of ring links comprising uninterruptedly arranged links adjacent each other, parallel rows of cruciform links alternating with the rows of ring links, bent prongs upon the cruciform links engaging the adjacent ring links, and a series of binding units including diverging integral loops for the reception of the adjacent ring links.
