page_text: I, ERNST MITTELSTEN-SCHEID, Manufacturer, of 52, Diekerstrasse, Barmen, in
the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
:
With previously known dress protecting manufactures with velvet top edge the
great disadvantage has been that the attachment border together with the threads
necessary for sewing it on were left perfectly exposed and were subjected by the
trailing of the dress to considerable wear, necessitating a frequent renewal of the
dress protector without allowing of the complete using up of the actual protect
ing edging.
To obviate this difficulty is the object of the present invention which differs
from all previously known dress protector edgings in that besides the actual velvet
wearing border there is a second velvet protecting border for the attachment border
and stitching, and that the previous wear of the exposed attachment border is
entirely obviated.
In the accompanying drawing an example of the invention is shown in which
Figs. 1 and 2 represent a form of the invention in top view and side view and Fig. 3
represents the use of the new dress protecting addition on a dress skirt wherein a
shows the actual dress protecting addition, 6 the protector against the wear of the
attachment border and the fastening stitching, c the sewing band and d the skirt.
The double-velvet dress protecting border shown as an example on the drawing
is produced in the loom and the plush edges a and b represent brush-plushes.
The production can however be effected by the band process or by the crocheting
machine and the plush edges a and b formed by cord plush or chenille plush. In
any case the shape, size or width of the two plush edges may be alike or different
and the band between the edges may be as desired.

I, ERNST MITTELSTEN-SCHEID, Manufacturer, of 52, Diekerstrasse, Barmen, in
the Empire of Germany, 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:

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
A protecting border for use in connection with velvet dresses, in which the
fastening thread is prevented from being injured by the result of the trailing of
the dress, by covering the fastening band c by means of a repetition 6 of the velvet
edge a upon the other side of the fastening band.
