Abstract: 6985. Gardiner, W. C. March 22. Tubular fabrics; double and multiple fabrics; twills. - In fluid-transmitting tubular hose or fabric having a twill or broken - twill surface, wadding-wefts a, Fig. 2, are introduced between the wefts c of the twill surface and are bound in by the warp floats forming the twill surface, and not by special binding-threads. The wefts a are thinner than the wefts c. and prevent the warp floats from being forced between these wefts. A smooth interior surface is thus produced requiring less rubber than usual. The wadding-wefts may be used in a multiple-ply fabric, as shown in Fig. 4.
