PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Trimming for Millinery, Fancy and the like Articles,
and the Method of Producing the same.
I, EMILY WALKER HUNTER, of the Bull and Mouth Hotel, Briggate, in the City
of Leeds, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
The object of this invention is the production of a new kind of tumming, which
can be applied to millinery, fancy and the like articles in a variety of ways,
according to the fancy of the designer and the article to which it is applied
My invention consists in taking a stip of the material of which the trimming
18 to be made, and for which amongst others Pongee silk 18 admnably adapted,
and draw o pick out of the middle part of the stip, the threads running parallel
to the length of the strip. The strip 18 then doubled parallel to its length, and
filled, gathered, pleated on otherwise manipulated to form the timming, which
18 applied to the article according to the taste of the designer
The tumming thus shows two distinct surfaces, running parallel to each
other, the outer one consisting of a series of loops or threads at night angles to
the line or edge of the trimming, and an inn i surface of crossed or woven
threads, as in the material of which the trimming is made. The relative widths
of these distinct surfaces may be varied according to the taste of the designer
and the article to which it is to be applied.
The stup of material of which the tiimming 18 made, may be cut out of a
piece parallel either to the waip or weft threads, according to the direction
of the threads most suitable for diawing or picking out; or the stup may be
woven in the loom, by leaving out the corresponding width in the centie of
the strip of the waip or weft threads, according to the manner in which the
strip is woven in the loom, ie narroways in a narrow loom, or lengthways in a
wide loom.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Trimming for Millinery, Fancy and the like Articles,
and the Method of Producing the same.
I, EMILY WALKER HUNTER, of the Bull and Mouth Hotel, Briggate, in the City
of Leeds in the County of York, 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 object of this invention is the production of a new kind of trimming, which

page_text: can be applied to millinery, drapery, fancy and the like articles in a variety of
ways, according to the fancy of the designer and the article to which it is applied.
aly invention consists in making a strip of the material of which the trimming
18 to be made, and for which amongst others Pongee silk is admirably adapted,
and draw or pick out of the middle part of the stup, the threads running parallel
to the length of the strip. The strip is then doubled parallel to its length, and
filled, gathered, pleated or otherwise manipulated to form the timming, which
18 applied to the article according to the taste of the designer.
The trimming thus shows two distinct surfaces, running parallel to each
other; the outer one consisting of a series of loops of threads at right angles to
the line or edge of the trimming, and an inner surface of crossed or woven
threads, as in the material of which the trimming is made. The relative widths
of these distinct surfaces may be varied according to the taste of the designer
and the article to which it is to be applied
Instead of taking a comparatively narrow strip, a considerably wider piece
may be taken, and the longitudinal threads picked 01 drawn out in two or more
spaces running parallel to the length of the stup, and the material then doubled
or folded along the centie lines or thereabouts of such spaces.
The strip of material of which the trimming is made, may be cut out of a
piece parallel either to the warp or weft threads, according to the duection
of the threads most suitable for drawing or picking out, or the strip may be
woven in the loom, by leaving out the corresponding width in the centie of
the strip of the warp or weft threads, according to the manner in which the
strip is woven in the loom, ie narroways in a narrow loom, or lengthways in a
wide loom
The word "length" in the above is to be understood as referring merely to
a direction, which may be parallel to either the warp or weft threads of the
material or to either the shorter or longer sides of the strip or piece of the
material
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. The method of producing trimming for millinery drapery fancy and the
like articles consisting in taking a stip of the material of which the material
is to be made drawing or picking out the threads running parallel to the length
of the stip in one or more spaces running parallel to the length of the strip
then doubling or folding the strip along the centre line or lines or thereabouts
of such picked or drawn spaces and afterwards frilling pleating gathering or
otherwise manipulating the strip to any desired pattern or design substantially
as set forth.
2 The method of producing trimming for millinery fancy and the like
articles consisting in weaving the material of which the trimming is made in
such a manner as to form one or more spaces running parallel to the length of
the strip with the threads running parallel to the length of such space or spaces
left out and then doubling or folding the strip along the centre line or lines or
thereabouts of said spaces and afterwards frilling pleating gathering or otherwise
manipulating the strip to form the desired trimming.
3. Timming for millinery fancy and the like articles produced substantially
according to the method or methods claimed in Claims 1 and 2.
