I, WOLFF ROTHSCHILD of Barmen in the Empire of Germany Manufacturer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
According to this invention brace ends are formed of lengths of woven fabric having
their upper portions made of elastic weaving with longitudinal warps of india rubber
thread tied in in any ordinary way of weaving elastic fabrics and having their lower
portions where a button hole is to be formed in them made of inelastic fabric containing
no elastic thread and with the button hole formed in them in the weaving.
To form these ends a length of elastic fabric is woven in any ordinary way with the
inelastic outer warps woven in a twill of any desired pattern to give the required
elasticity to the fabric and with the india rubber thread led straight down the fabric
as is usual in the manufacture of elastic fabrics and near the lower end wherein a
button hole is to be formed the weaving is changed to straight weaving to tie the
rubber threads and hold them securely. When a narrow band of such weaving has
been formed of sufficient length to securely hold the portion of rubber thread woven
into it the rubber warps are cut and a plain inelastic weaving is continued for a
distance without the rubber warps and in this portion a button hole is formed in. the
weaving. The extremity of the brace end beyond the button hole may be cut off to a
rounded form and bound over with suitable binding.

page_text: 1, WOLFF 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:-
According to this invention brace ends are formed of lengths of woven fabric having
their upper portions made of elastic weaving with longitudinal warps of india rubber
thread tied in any ordinary way of weaving elastic fabrics and having their lower portion
where a button hole is to be formed in them made of inelastic fabric containing no
elastic thread and with the button hole formed in them in the weaving.
To form these ends a length of elastic fabric is woven in any ordinary way with the
inelastic onter warps woven in a twill of any desired pattern to give the required
elasticity to the fabric and with the india rubber thread led straight down the fabric as
is usual in the manufacture of elastic fabrics and near the lower end wherein a button
hole is to be formed the weaving is changed to straight weaving to tie the rubber
threads and bold them securely. When a narrow band of such weaving has been
formed of sufficient length to securely hold the portion of rubber thread woven into it
the rubber warps are cut and a plain inelastic weaving is continued for a distance
without the rubber warps and in this portion a button hole is formed in the weaving.
The extremity of the brace end beyond the button hole may be cut off to a rounded
form and bound over with suitable binding.
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 :-
1. Brace ends made of one piece of woven fabric the part where the button hole is
formed being inelastic and the other part elastic.
2. The process of weaving brace ends substantially as described.
