PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Woven Covering for the Bones or Steels of Ladies'.
Dresses.
We, JOSEPH CASH, SIDNEY CASH and THOMAS ARNOLD CASH all of
Hertford Street, Coventry, in the County of Warwick, Ribbon, Frilling and
Trimming Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as"
follows:-
"
This our invention relates to an improved woven eased galoon, and our invention
consists in the new article of manufacture hereinafter described and set forth.
.7
Our improved galoon is to be used for the covering of the bones or other
material that may be employed in the making of all descriptions of ladies bodices
or other garments.
Hitherto the bones have been covered with a flat galoon or ribbon which
necessitated the easing of the same after the bones had been covered.
"
Our improved galoon is woven in a loom of several spaces having the warps
specially weighted to produce an "eased or puckered effect. It will thus be
understood that the galoon presents a full appearance being puckered and when
used for the desired purpose will prevent the necessity of the subsequent easing of
the same.
The new galoon will be found also better for the purpose for which it is intended
to be used, being more flexible and also tend to prevent the ends of the bones or
steels forcing out from the covering material.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Woven Covering for the Bones or Steels of Ladies'
Dresses.
We, JOSEPH CASH, SIDNEY CASH and THOMAS ARNOLD CASH, all of
Hertford Street, Coventry, in the County of Warwick, Ribbon, Frilling and
Trimming Manufacturers, 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 our invention relates to an improved woven covering or galoon for the bones
or steels of ladies' dresses, and our invention consists in a new article of manufacture
hereinafter described and set forth.
Our improved galoon is to be used for the covering of the bones or other
material that may be employed in the making of all descriptions of ladies' bodices
or other garments.
Hitherto a flat galoon or ribbon has been used for covering the bones or steels.
of bodices, and it has been necessary to ease or pucker this galoon or ribbon by
hand, in the process of covering the bones or steels.
Our improved galoon is woven in a loom of several spaces having the warps
specially weighted to produce an "eased" or puckered effect. That is to say that
some of the warp threads are more heavily weighted than others whereby a goffered
or puckered effect is produced in the ribbon. In order to effect this the warp for
each ribbon is divided into two or more sets of threads which are subjected to
different degrees of tension, the tension upon the threads at either edge being
Din Q17

the threads in the middle of the fabric. This causes the centre
upon
of the fabric to be puckered in the process of weaving. It will thus be under-
stood that the galoon presents a full appearance being puckered and when used
for the desired purpose will prevent the necessity of the subsequent easing of the
same.
The new galoon will be found also better for the purpose for which it is intended
to be used, being more flexible and it will also tend to prevent the ends of the bones
or steels forcing out from the covering material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
A ribbon or galoon for covering bones or steels in ladies' dresses the warp
threads of which ribbon are subjected to unequal tension during the process of
weaving substantially as described.
