Description
y 1 J. v. MOORE ONE'PIECE SEMISOFT COLLAR Filed May 18, 1927 Wad/e- Wm:
Patented July 16, 1929.
UNITED STATES ATET FFHCE.
JOHN V. JVIOORE, OF IPAWTUCKET, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOB, TO MOORE-FABRIC COM- PANY, 0F PAWTUCKET, RHODE ISLAND, A CORPORATION OF RHODE ISLAND.
ONE-PIECE SEMISOF'I COLLAR.
Application filed May 18,
This invention relates to a semi-soft collar of the type in which the. entire collar is woven as a single piece of single ply fabric.
It is the general object of my invention to provide a semi-soft collar which may be woven as .a single piece of straight fabric but which will assume a desired curvature and set on finishing.
To the attainment of this object, I provide a collar in which the face or fold portion is woven of well shrunken or mercerized warp threads, while the band portion is woven with unshrunken warp threads.
A further feature of the invention is the provision of an improved folding portion between the face and band portions of the fabric, by which the line fold will be definitely defined.
My invention further relates to arrangements and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter set forth and more particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
A preferred form of the invention is shown in the drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a plan view of a portion of my improved fabric;
Fig. 2 is a cross section thereof, taken along the line 22 in Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional View of the folding portion, taken along the line 3-3 in Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings, I have indi cated a fabric from which my improved collars may be formed, comprising an outer or r face portion 10, a band portion 11, and an intermediate folding portion 12. The fabric is of single ply construction and is woven with straight warp threads and straight filling threads throughout.
The warps used in the outer or face portion 10 are preshrunken before weaving, such shrinkage being accomplished by a mercerizing process or by any other convenient r method.
1927. Serial No. 192,443.
and becoming shorter, while the face portion remains substantially unchanged in length.
The intermediate portion 12 may be woven with either shrunken or unshrunken warps and is preferably woven with an unbalanced weave, as indicated in Fig. 3. In that figure, I have shown a three-up and one-down weave, that is, a weave in which each warp thread IV is floated on the upper or, outer surface of the fabric for three picks, and is then looped under a single pick of filling F. The outer face of the fold portion thus comprises a soft flexible structure, While the inner face of the fold portion has a firm and much less flexible structure. Such an unbalanced weave naturally tends to define a fold in the fabric, with the relatively firm inner structure on the inside of the fold. On the other hand, the face portion 10 and band portion 11 are preferably woven with a balanced weave, causing the fabric in these portions to remain flat and straight.
The details of the fold line structure and the combination of balanced weaves in the face and band portions, together with an unbalanced weave in the fold line portion are not claimed herein as they form a portion of the subject matter of my prior application Serial No. 125,545, filed July 28, 1926, and Serial No. 127,124, filed August 4, 1926.
By weaving the fabric of the proper width, the band of the collar may be formed with a selvage edge as indicated at 14, but the ends of the collar and the edge of the face or fold portion will be cut with unfinished edges and may be thereafter provided with a suitable binding or otherwise finished asmay be desired.
Having thus described my invention and the advantages thereof, I do not wish to be limited to the details herein disclosed, otherwise than as set forth in the claim, but what I claim is:
A one-piece semi-soft collar comprising. a face portion, a band portion and a folding portion all woven integral, said face portion being Woven with pre-shrunken warp threads and said band portion being woven with unshrunken warp threads, whereby the collar is given a curvilinear set by finishing said fabric, the weft threads being unshrunken.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto afiixed my signature.
JOHN V. MOORE.
