PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Under Garment of Felted Woollen Net.
I, HENRI CLEMENT, of Cuarnens (Canton de Vaud), in Switzerland, Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved under garment, specially adapted for wear
by sportsmen, and composed of a woollen net, characterized on the one hand by
the peculiar arrangement or disposition of the web, and on the other by its being
felted; the said manufactured article being very smooth and agreeable for wear.
The accompanying drawing shews, on an exaggerated scale, the arrangement or
disposition of the yarn or threads in said net, the meshes of which are, in reality,
about half an inch in width.
According to this invention, the weft threads A are crossed by two series of
chain threads B and B', the threads B being arranged or disposed as usual, but the
thread or threads B¹ passing after each mesh of the net, from the one to the
opposite side of the threads B, thus forming a solid web which which is, moreover,
at once rendered quite homogeneous and very smooth by the usual process of felting.
The number of woollen yarns or threads forming either the weft or the chain may
be varied at will.
