Improvements in Bindings and Facings for Garments.
I, AARON MOSES WEBER, Manufacturer, of 44, West 27th Street, New York
City, United States of America, 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:―
My invention relates to improved dress bindings and facings, and the object
is to provide a double binding for garments.
The invention therefore consists in an outer and an inner binding, so that
when the outer binding is worn out it can be cut off clean to the edge and there
will still remain the inner binding, giving the same finish to the skirt as it
had before.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings; in which
Figure 1 is a front view of a portion of a garment provided with my improved
double binding; and
Figure 2 is a cross section of the same.
To make the double binding, I first preferably take a bias strip of either
plain or rubber treated material suitable for a skirt binding and wide enough
to make a binding and a facing, this being indicated in the drawing at A. The
strip is secured at its upper edge to the fabric to be protected, and on its lower
edge which extends below the skirt material I form a roll or coil and if desired
may insert a cord at a. This is preferably stitched on in a manner so that the
stitches will not show, and it will be seen, forms a finished binding and facing.
I then secure over this inner facing or binding by stitching above the fold line,
a strip of rubber treated velvet or other suitable material, so as to cover the
first binding, forming a second binding and facing, this being indicated at C.
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 herein described binding for garments and the like, comprising a strip
of material provided on the inner lower edge with a fold or roll and having an
outside cover binding stitched over the first binding, forming a double binding,
the whole being secured to the garment whose edge is to be covered.
2. As an article of manufacture, a double binding, and facing, composed of
an inner strip secured at its upper edge to the fabric to be protected and having
in its lower end a fold extending below the lower edge of the skirt material,
and a second strip folded around the fold at the first strip, the whole being
secured to the garment to be protected, substantially as described.
3. As a new article of manufacture, a binding for garments and the like.
comprising a strip of material adapted to be secured to the garment. and pro-
vided on its lower inner edge with a fold or roll, and a second strip of material
enclosing the fold or roll of the first strip and secured to the fist strip above
the fold line, whereby the outer binding may be removed when worn, and yet
leave a new binding at the bottom of the garment, substantially as described.
