An Improved Cased Bodice Steel for Dresses, Costumes, and other
Garments.
ARTHUR NICHOLSON and JOHN HALL, Silk Manufacturers, Leek, Staffordshire,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in cased steels and bones for use in dresses,
costumes and other garments. The casing or tubular web is woven with double
selvages on each side, that is instead of the casing or tubular web being made with
one selvage on each side as heretofore, the upper and lower cloths are kept apart
and two selvages formed on each side of the tubular web or casing. The steel or
bone is fastened inside the aforesaid casing or tubular web by means of an adhesive
preparation of isinglass. The casing or tubular web is cut down and each side
folded separately over the ends of the steel or bone, instead of the casing or
tubular web being folded to the back of the steel as before, so that now two
thicknesses of material are exposed to the friction of the ends of the steel
or bone.
In the accompanying drawing the tubular web or casing C has two selvages A
on each side. To the inside of the tubular web or casing C the steel or bone B is
fastened by means of an adhesive preparation of isinglass. D and E shew the
parts of the tubular web or casing cut down for the purpose of folding each side
separately over the ends of the steel or bone: E shewing one side of the casing or
tubular web turned over the end of the steel or bone from back to front, aud D the
other side of the casing or tubular web cut ready for turning over from front to
back. Thus when the ends are separately turned over and secured by stitches, or
by eyeletting as heretofore, two thicknesses of material are exposed to the friction
of the ends of the steel or bone.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
An improved cased steel or bone for dresses, costumes and other garments,

steel or bone B being fastened inside the tubular web or casing C by means of an
adhesive preparation of isinglass, and the cutting down and double folding of the
web or casing, each end D and E separately over the ends of the steel or bone, so
that two thicknesses of material D and E are exposed to the friction of the steel
or bone, substantially as described and shewn in the drawing.
These features forming a novel and distinctive cased steel or bone for use in
dresses, costumes and other garments.
