Improvements in the Manufacture of Braces or Trouser Suspenders.
I, WOLF ROTHSCHILD, of Barmen, in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of braces:
Brace ends are often made having two "tabs" in which are button holes, con-
nected by a single cord and this cord is arranged so that it is free to run through a
passage in a coupling piece which connects the brace end with a buckle or otherwise
connects it with the shoulder strap of the brace. Such brace ends are however
liable to become detached from the brace, the tab being pulled through the passage
in the coupling, I prevent this by causing the tabs to be connected by two separate
cords passing through separate passages in the coupling. I may produce such brace
ends by weaving them in one piece, but with two cords in lieu of a single cord. I
cominence by weaving a band suitable for the tab or end in which a button hole is
to be formed and I produce the button hole in the process of weaving; the shuttle
then passing only half across the band and the two sides of the band being woven
separately with selvages in the middle of the tab as well as at the sides." After
weaving in this manner for the length of the button hole 1 again weave with a
shuttle passing across from side to side of the band. Having thus produced the tab
or part in which is the button hole I proceed to produce two cords to connect the
tab at one extremity of the brace end with the tab at the other extremity. I now
weave with the warp threads divided into two separate sets each set weaving with
its own shuttle to produce a cord, preferably a hollow or tubular weaving nearly
circular in section; or the cord may be more or less solid. When the two cords
have been worked to a sufficient length I produce another tab in the manner already
described.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Braces or Trouser Suspenders.
I, WOLF ROTHSCHILD, of Barmen, in the Empire of Germany, 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
This invention has for its object improvements in the manufacture of braces.
Brace ends are often made having two "tabs" in which are button holes, con-
nected by a single cord and this cord is arranged so that it is free to run through a
passage in a coupling piece which connects the brace end with a buckle or otherwise
connects it with the shoulder strap of the brace. Such brace ends are however
liable to become detached from the brace, the tab being pulled through the passage
in the coupling. I prevent this by causing the tabs to be connected by two separate
cords passing through separate passages in the coupling. I may produce such
brace ends by weaving them in one piece. I commence by weaving a band suitable
for the tab or end in which a button hole is to be formed and I produce the button
hole in the process of weaving; the shuttle then passing only half across the band
and the two sides of the band being woven separately with selvages in the middle
of the tab as well as at the sides. After weaving in this manner for the length of
the button hole I again weave with a shuttle passing across from side to side of the

Dand. maying this produced the tab or part in which is the button hole proceed
to produce two cords to connect the tab at one extremity of the brace end with the
tab at the other extremity. I now weave with the warp threads divided into two
separate sets each set weaving with its own shuttle to produce a cord, preferably a
hollow or tubular weaving nearly circular in section, or the cord may be more or
less solid. When the two cords have been worked to a sufficient length I produce
another tab in the manner already described.
In order that my said invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect will proceed to describe the drawing hereunto annexed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING.
The drawing shows a brace end made in accordance with my invention, together
with the coupling piece which serves to connect it with the shoulder strap of the
brace.
с
The tabs aa at the extremities of the brace end are connected by two cords b
and c and these as will be seen pass through separate passages in the coupling
piece d. This construction renders it impossible for the brace end to be pulled
through, and so to become detached from the coupling piece which is liable to occur
when the tabs of the brace end are connected by a single cord.
I weave these brace ends in continuous lengths and afterwards cut them apart.
I bind the cut edge as is seen at a².
The tab is woven as far as the button hole as a single flat band. Then the two
sides of the tab are woven separately and selvages are produced in the middle of
the flat band. Thus the button hole is produced. Afterwards the tab is completed
by weaving another portion of single Hat band as at first. Then the weaving is
again divided into two parts and these parts are made to form the cords and e.
Preferably the cord is shorter and contains more warp threads than the cord c.
The weaving of these cords is so conducted that they are formed circular in section
and more or less hollow or tubular. When the cords have been produced to a
sufficient length, the method of weaving is again changed to produce a flat band as
at first. Two tabs end to end are then woven as before and again cords b, c are
made and so the weaving is carried on continuously.
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 1
claim is :-
1. A brace end substantially as described consisting of two tabs a a connected by
two separate cords and c which pass through separate passages in a coupling
piece as herein set forth.
2. The method substantially as described of producing brace ends by weaving
tabs a a and cords and c continuously and in one piece; the weaving being so
conducted that first a single flat band is produced; then two flat bands side by side
separated by selvages to form a button hole; then again a single band; afterwards
two separate cords circular in section then flat band single and divided to form
another tab and so on as herein set forth.
