PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Manufacture of Open Worked Elastic Bands and Elastic Insertion
Pieces.
I, MARIE KIRCHNER of Solesianergasse, Vienna, Austria, Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the production of open work elastic bands and elastic
pieces as distinguished from the usual closely woven work. In carrying out the
invention the elastic, say india rubber, threads or cords, are covered over by
spinning or weaving round them a suitable material in the same way as electric
conducting wires have insulating material worked upon them and with a similar
kind of machine or with a braiding or like machine. The elastic threads or cords
thus isolated from each other are knitted, or woven, or worked in a bobbin frame
to produce plain or pattern open worked bands or insertion pieces and so that the
warp may be of the said elastic threads whilst the woof may be of inelastic
material or vice versa. Insertion pieces say for the sides or instep of boots and
shoes, braces, stockings, garters, etcetera, are made in a similar manner but of the
required shape and size instead of in band form and the pieces thus knitted or
woven are edged or braided round with a stronger elastic or inelastic thread.
Dated this 6th day of August 1895.

Manufacture of Open Worked Elastic Bands and Elastic Insertion
Pieces.
I, MARIE KIRCHNER of Solesianergasse, Vienna, Austria, Manufacturer, 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:-
Elastic bands and insertion pieces have hitherto been produced by weaving
together elastic threads. This method does not allow of the same being made
with open places or perforations as the desired elasticity would thereby be lost.
These closely woven bands and insertion pieces present the disadvantage that they
bear full against the surfaces to which they are applied and obstruct perspiration
from the skin with the consequent disagreeableness of feeling.
This invention relates to the production of open work elastic bands and elastic
pieces as distinguished from the usual closely woven work. In carrying out the
invention the elastic, say india rubber, threads or cords are covered over by
spinning or weaving round them a suitable material in the same way as electric
conducting wires and with a similar kind of machine or with a braiding or like
machine. The elastic threads or cords thus isolated from one another form the
material for the production of open work elastic bands and elastic insertion pieces.
The isolated elastic threads or cords are knitted, or woven, or worked in a bobbin
[Price 8d 1

page_text: frame to produce plain or pattern open worked bands or insertion pieces and so
that the warp may be of the said elastic threads whilst the woof may be of inelastic
material or vice versa or both warp and woof may be of elastic isolated material.
Insertion pieces say for the sides of boots, shoes, braces, stockings, garters, etcetera
are made in a similar manner but of the required shape and size instead of in band
form and the pieces thus knitted or woven are edged or braided round with a
stronger elastic or inelastic thread or cord.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what
I claim is :-
1. A process for the production of open worked elastic bands and elastic
insertion pieces from isolated elastic threads or cords in which process india rubber
or other elastic threads or cords isolated from each other like electric conducting
wires are combined together by weaving, knitting, or working in a bobbin frame or
the like to produce a plain or pattern open worked elastic band or insertion piece
whereby either the warp, or the woof, or both, may be formed of said isolated
elastic threads or cords, substantially as described.
2. In the production of open worked elastic bands and insertion pieces in
accordance with Claim 1 the provision along the edges of elastic or inclastic
reinforcement simultaneously worked into the same for the purpose of at once
producing the article ready for use with strengthened edges or border substantially
as described.
3. The production of open worked elastic bands and insertion pieces from
isolated elastic threads or cords and with their edges strengthened by subsequently
working therein elastic or inelastic threads or cords, substantially as described.
Dated this 6th day of May 1896.
