NELLIE F. HURDEL, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
APPAREL.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 726,299, dated April 28, 1903.
Application filed February 27, 1899. Serial No. 706,978. (No specimens.)
To in whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, NELLIE F. HURDEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the borough of Manhattan and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Apparel; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will onable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the figures on the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to apparel, and is embodied in what in view of its function is termed a repair-section, the body of the same being a fabric having two laps or selvages at the end.
The invention is particularly applicable for socks, stockings, shirts, drawers, &c., for the purpose of making a ready repair when any portion of the same may wear out. The double selvage may be an integral part of the body of the apparel, or it may be made separate therefrom and secured thereto in any suitable and well-known way and of finer thread or material.
Shirts, vests, drawers, &c., become unfit for use from shrinkage and from wear at the wrists and elbows, ankles, and knees, and other parts of the same, which may be remedied with the separate repair-sections for apparel, the edges of which are provided with single or double selvages, or both, as herein described.
The separate repair-sections for shirts or any make of sleeves and drawer legs are made similar to the lower parts of the same and to extend from the wrist or ankle upward to any desired length and designated as a sleeve-tip and a drawer-leg tip, the top and bottom of which are provided alternately with the single and the double selvage or provided on one or both ends with the single selvage of the desired thickness or the double selvage, the width of one selvage being narrower than the other and the thickness of both being equal to orless than the body of the apparel-section.
To lengthen or repair a shirt or vest sleeve, the worn-out end of the same is cut off and thrown away and the raw edge of the remaining sleeve is placed between the double selvage edges of the new repair-sleeve tip, the narrower edge being on the inside of the old sleeve and the wider of the double selvage being on the outside of the same, and by stitching the selvages thereto with an ordinary needle and thread the repair can be neatly and quickly made. or the repair of the bottom of drawer-legs with the new drawer-leg tips is made the same as the repair of shirt-sleeves with the new sleeve-tip repair-section.
When the knee or elbow portions of the apparel are worn out, the elbow-band or kneeband, extending any length above and below the elbow portion of a sleeve or above and below the knee portion of drawers and stockings and provided with the single or double selvage on one or both ends of the same, may be applied thereto, as herein described, with satisfactory results.
Stockings and socks wear out at the foot first, as a general rule. I propose to make the foot and leg separate, and then to provide one of these parts, generally the foot, with the double-selvage edges adapted to receive between its double edges the other portion or leg of the stocking. Commercially it is intended to provide a separate foot with the double-selvage edges or a separate leg portion with the double selvage upon one or both ends or a separate knee portion with separate double-selvage edges, or any two or more of these separate portions may be sold with their edges united by sewing or otherwise, the united portions being provided, respectively, with double-selvage edges and a single edge between the selvages.
Where the goods are knit or woven fabric, the double or single selvage may be looped in separately with a finer or thinner thread, or it may be part and parcel of the apparel itself, thinned out by passing two or more loops through each succeeding loop or stitch of the selvage edge.
I prefer to make the combined thickness of the double selvage about equal to the body of the fabric to which it is attached, so that there is no undue thickness at the joint, which might occasion possible discomfort to the wearer. The shorter of the two selvage edges is designed to go on the inside of the apparel,
The lengthening ICO the deeper portion completely covering the union of parts and the shorter being secured on the inside, where so neat an appearance is not essential. The difference in the depths of the two edges facilitates materially the union of the parts.
My invention deals with knitted hosiery chiefly. When a section of the stocking is cut away for the purpose of applying my repair-section thereto, the raw edge of the cut stocking has a tendency to curl or become distorted. In joining the repair-section having a double selvage to the raw cut edge of the stocking it is therefore desirable to have the inner one of the double selvages narrower in width than the other, so that the cut edge of the stocking to be repaired can be more conveniently sewed or secured to the inner selvage in the preliminary fastening or basting, after which the deeper or outer selvage of the repair-section is united to the stocking in a neat and compact manner by having, in the first instance, the edge of the stocking secured to the narrower selvage. I prefer to make the separate sock-foot and stocking-foot portion and the separate knee portion with the double selvage, because my invention chiefly contemplates the repair of stockings now on the market, the intention being upon the repair of a worn-out foot or knee to furnish such separate foot and knee to the trade in all stock colors, shapes, and materials with the double-selvage edges, so that the old stocking may be cut olf at the foot or knee, as the case may be, and my double-selvage repair-section secured upon both sides of the raw edge of the cut-off stocking and secured thereto by stitching or otherwise, forming a quick, neat, and efficient repair at a saving of a considerable expense. The foot portion may have its separate double-selvage edges along the line of the vamp or immediately above or below the ankle or other place, as desired, and a like latitude may be observed with respect to the knee portion.
It is sometimes especially desirable that the combined thickness of the double-selvage edges should be less than the body of the fabric to which they are attached, so that when a single edge is inserted between them and secured thereto the combined thickness of the selvage edges and the thickness of the fabric between them shall not exceed the thickness of the body of the fabric to which the double-selvage edges are attached. This construction results in a joint that is not any thicker than the body of the stocking itself, so that no uncomfortable ridge results from the joint.
The drawings show a separable knee-band attached to the stocking, so that a stockingleg worn out at the knee can be cut away at that point and the knee-band inserted between the upper and lower portion of the stocking-leg. In such case, if desired, both edges of the knee-band repair portion may be provided with double-selvage edges.
Figure 1 represents a plan View of the stocking to which my invention has been applied. Fig. 2 is a detail view of a section of the fabric, showing the double-selvage edges formed or attached to the apparel. Fig. 3 is a similar detail view in which the doubleselvage edges are formed integrally with the body of the fabric. of the separate foot portion. Fig. 5 is a detail section of a portion of the knee-band. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a repair-section for the top portion of the leg or sleeve of an undergarment.
1 representsthe leg portion. 2 represents the foot portion. 3 represents the knee portion. The joints 4 between these portions Wherever made, as hereinbefore referred to, are provided the one with double-selvage edges and the other with a single edge secured between the double-selvage edges.
6 represents the deeper portion of the selvage edges and 7 the shallower portion thereof.
In Fig. 2 the selvage edges 6 and 7 are formed separably of the fabric of the apparel, and in Fig. 3 the double-selvage edges 6 and 7 are formed integrally with the fabric.
Where the word stocking is used, any kind of foot-covering is meant, such as socks and the like.
5 represents a knit ting-needle generally employed in forming the stocking portions with t the double-selvage edges.
In Fig. at is shown the stocking-foot 2, with the donble-selvage edges 6 and 7 thereon flattened out to more clearly show its construction.
In Fig. 5 is shown a separate detail, broken away, of the knee-band or elbow-band with the double-selvage edges 6 and 7 upon the opposite edges. I
In Fig. 6 is shown either a sleeve or leg tip 8, having my improved double-selvage edges 6 and 7 formed thereon. cable to all kinds of garments, such as undershirts, drawers, and the like.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. As an improved article of manufacture a repair-section for hosiery having a double selvage, the width of one being narrower than the other, and the thickness of both equal to or less than the bodyof the hosiery.
2. An improved article of manufacture, comprising a leg portion and a sock-foot repair section having a double selvage, the width of one of said selvages being narrower than the other, and the thickness of both being equal to or less than the body of the sockfoot, said leg portion being adapted to be secured between the double selvages.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
