#7779141 777M ATTORNEY$ Patented Mar. 31, 1931 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE WILLIAM SCHMIEDEL, OF OSHKOSH, WISCONSIN, ASSIGNOR TO DELTOX RUG- COMPANY, OF OSH KOSH, WISCONSIN, A. CORPORATION OF WISCONSIN RUG AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME Application filed March 13, 1930. Serial No. 435,471.
This invention relates to improvements in rugs and the method of making the same.
It is one of the objects of the present invention to form a rug composed of yarn mounted on a durable fabric base or backing and constructed in such a manner as to provide a thick, soft and luxurious Wearing surface which is extremely attractive in appearance and which will afiord high resistance to abrasive action.
Afurther object of the invention is to provide a yarn rug which is very novel and attractive in appearance and simulates to some extent the so-called hopked rug.
A further object of the invention is to provide a yarn rug which may be made very easily and at a minimum of expense.
A further object of the invention is to provide a rug and method of making the same which is slmple, expeditious, and well adapted for the purposes described.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists of the improved rug and method of making the same, and its parts, steps, and combinations as set forth in the claims, and all equivalents thereof.
In the accompanying drawing in which the same reference characters indicate the same parts in all of the views:
Fig. l is a plan view of a fragment of a strip of yarn braid such as is used in the improved rug;
Fig. 2 is a sectional view through adjacent strips of yarn braid secured onto a backing or base in a looped or folded arrangement;
Fig. 8 is a sectional view showing the material of Fig. 2 after the individual loops or folds have been cut and form threads removed;
Fig. 4 is a plan view thereof g Fig. 5 is a sectional view showing an alternate manner of securing the yarn braid in looped or folded arrangement onto a backing; and
Fig. 6 is a sectional view illustrating how the yarn braid is secured onto its backmg when the yarn braid is in relatively wide sheets instead of strips, as in Fig. 1.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing it will appear that the numeral 8 indicates an elongated strip of yarn braid preferably formed in a loom of an individual strand or strands of yarn 9 woven into the, form shown in Fig. 1 over and under certain form threads 10. The edge portions of the braid have woven or stitched therethrough threads 11 which serve to correctly hold the edge portions of the woven yarn.
A backing or base of the desired length and width is provided and said backing may be preferably composed of several plys or thicknesses of canvas, as indicated by the numerals 12. As shown in Fig. 2, strips of yarn braid 8 are laid, juxtapositioned longitudinally along the top surface of said base or backing and each strip of braid is looped or folded longitudinally, as shown, and has its opposite side edges secured to the backing by longitudinal lines of stitching 13 extending along the side edges thereof and through the plys of the base or backing. The bottom surace of the base or backing may then be covered by another ply or layer 14 of canvas or the like which is secured to the layers 12 by stitching 15 encircling the entire base or backing and extending through all of the layers of the same. v
The next step is the removal of the form threads 10, after which each longitudinal loop or fold of each strip of braid is cut or severed centrally, longitudinally along its top portion. The cutting operation frees the strands of yarn with the result that the finished rug, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, has its top surface in a matted condition formed of a plurality of closely positioned tufts and rows of yarn. This arrangement results in a rug having a soft, thick top surface which will wear extremely well and which is attractive in appearance, resembling very closely in appearance and feel, the so-called hooked ru s.
l lvhile the operation of longitudinally cutting the loops or folds of the yarn braids has been described as being performed after the yarn braids have been secured in looped position on the backing, it has been foundto be very practical and expeditious to longitudinally, medially cut or split each strip of yarn braid prior to its being secured to the base or backing. When this is done, each half of each cut or split strip is secured by stitching along its outer edge to the base, leaving the severed edges free and when the severed edge portions are brushed or pushed upwardly slightly, the same result and appearance is attained as is shown in Figs. 3 and 4:.
In Fig. 5 an alternative manner of securing the strips of yarn braid onto the base or backing is illustrated. In this form each strip is longitudinally looped and then the adjacent edge portions are folded upon themselves at right angles to the upstanding looped portions and said adjacent edge portions-are secured to the backing by stitching 13' extending through both edge portions of'the strip and through the layers of the backing, as shown.
In some instances the braided or woven yarn is formed in relatively wide sheets or mats rather than in narrow strips, as in Fig. 1. In this event each sheet or mat is ruffled or looped in parallel rows transversely of the mat and is then applied to the base or backing 12 (see Fig. 6). Lines of stitching 11 are run longitudinally along each side of each loop, thereby securing the braid mat to the backing and leaving the longitudinal rows of cut or uncut loops free and upwardly extending. The ultimate result, as to appearance, is the same as that shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
From the foregoing description it will be evident that a novel, attractive and durable rug is provided in a very simple, commercially practical and expeditious manner.
What is claimed as the invention is:
1. A rug, comprising a base fabric portion,
a plurality of longitudinally folded and looped strips covering the top surface thereof, each strip being formed of transverse rows of yarn and each strip having been cut centrally longitudinally, parallel lines of stitching securing the outer edges of the strips to the base fabric, said outer edge portions of the strips being juxtapositioned, and a backing secured to the under-surface of the base fabric and covering said linesof stitching.
Q. The method of forming a rug, which consists in providing a piece offabric, then providing a piece of material formed with transverse strands of yarn, and then securing the material in parallel lines and along one edge to the piece of fabric, the freeends of the yarn being permitted to extend upwardly from the piece of fabric and in close proximity to each other to form a pile.
3. The method of forming a rug, which consists in providing a piece of fabric, then providing a piece of material formed with transverse strands of yarn, then securing the material in parallel lines and along one edge to the piece of fabric, the free ends of the yarn being permitted to extend upwardly from the piece of fabric and in close proximity to each other to form a pile, and then attaching a suitable backing to the piece of fabric to cover the lines of securement between the fabric and the yarn material.
4.'The method of forming a rug, which consists in providing a piece of fabric, then providing strips of material formed with transverse strands of yarn, then folding the strips of material transversely of the strands and securing the side edge portions of the strips in parallel lines to the piece of fabric with the lines of stitching extending transversely of the yarn strands, and then cutting the yarn strands along the lines of fold.
5. The method of forming a rug, which consists in providing a piece of fabric, then providing strips of material formed with transverse strands of yarn, then folding the strips of material transversely of the strands and securing the side edge portions of the strips in parallel lines to the piece of fabric with the lines of stitching extending transversely of the yarn strands, then cutting the yarn strands along the lines of fold, and then attaching a suitable backing to the piece of fabric to cover the lines of securement between the strips and the fabric.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
WILLIAM SCHMIEDEL.
