PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Créped Tissues
and Garments Made therewith.
A communication from CHARLES WERNER RUMPF, of Basle, in the Republic of
Switzerland, Manufacturer.
I, Alfred JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The present invention relates to new and improved tubular créped fabrics for
garments of every description. These fabrics are woven in a tubular section which
may either be variable or constant throughout.
Hitherto such garments or the main parts of them have been manufactured from
flat woven fabrics which required two longitudinal selvedges and consequently the
garment was necessarily made with longitudinal seams that is to say in the direction
of the warp of the fabric. These seams besides causing extra manual work and
cost gave rise to many inconveniences especially in connection with underclothing
such as is worn next the skin. By weaving these créped fabrics in tubular form
longitudinal seams are avoided while any cross-seams necessitated by the particular
form or cut of the garment may be made in the ordinary way. The said fabrics
may be woven either with a variable or constant tubular section throughout.
Dated this 8th day of August 1893.

Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Créped Tissues
and Garments Made therewith.
A communication from CHARLES WERNER RUMPF, of Basle, in the Republic of
Switzerland, Manufacturer.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, 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 :-
•
The present invention relates to an improved method of manufacturing tubular
créped tissues for garments of every description. These tissues are woven in a
tubular section which may either be variable or constant throughout.
Hitherto such garments or the main parts of them have been manufactured from
flat woven fabrics which required two longitudinal border-edges and consequently
the garment had to have longitudinal seams that is in the direction of the warp of
the fabric. These seams besides causing extra work and cost gave rise to many
inconveniences especially in connection with garments for underwear such as are
worn near the skin. In weaving these tissues in a tubular form no longitudinal
seams are required while any cross seams necessitated through a particular cut or
form of the garment may be made in the ordinary way. The said tissues may be
woven either in a constant or variable tubular section.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent and in what manner the
same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :--
1. Créped tissues in all kinds of threads and materials woven in the form of pipes
or tubes of variable or uniform section throughout their length.
2. The use of the tubular shaped créped tissues above described for making
garments.
3. The garments or parts of garments without longitudinal seams, that is to say
without seams in the direction of the warp made with the créped tissues above
described.
