Improvements in Woven Fabrics for Shirts, Drawers, and the like...
I, AUGUST TRAUTVETTER, residing at Ludwigsdorf, near Neurode in Silesia,
in the German Empire, 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 :-
My invention relates to the employment of a new body-clothing wearing
material for shirts, drawers and the like, consisting of an entirely or partially
perforated (thus practically speaking "porous ") woven principal or main tissue-
and several thicker threads lying upon it and woven together with the same, but
separated from each other, which threads, being of a single or of a conjoined
structure, keep the said principal or main tissue from coming directly into contact
with the body of the person clothed with the same, and thus cause that the surface
of the body is surrounded by an air-space, which, insulating against the influence of
the outside temperature, may circulate through the perforations or pores of the
principal or main tissue.
For the better understanding, a drawing is added to my description, showing
various manners, in which the new clothing-stuff may be woven.
In this drawing the Figures 1 and 14 demonstrate a diagonal position of the thick
threads separated from each other on the surface of the main-tissue; the
Figures 2 and 24 show a simple position of said thick threads lying separated upon
the main-tissue in the direction of the warp-threads or of the shoots of the same
and combined to it by some of its weaving-threads crossing the said separated thick
threads, and the Figures 3 and 3^ demonstrate crossed positions of the separated.
thick threads in the direction of the warp-threads and of the shoots of the main-tissue,
combined to the same by some of the weaving-threads crossing the thick threads
lying on the surface.
Fig. 1, 2 and 3 present top-views and Fig. 1A, 2A and 3^ lateral sections of the
tissue in question to the Figures 1, and 3.
In all figures the same parts are indicated by the same letters, the signification
of which are the following:
a significates close-worked parts and 6 perforated-worked parts of the principal
or main tissue, c indicates the thick threads separated on the surface of the latter
named tissue, and finally d represents those threads of the principal or main tissue
wich combine the thick threads c to same.
The main-tissue may be of any desired structure or designe, provided that it be
partially or entirely perforated or porous-woven.
As for the thick threads c separated on the surface of the main-tissue, I prefer
to choose the same of a loose spun structure, and to arrange same not verry far from
one another in order to attain that these threads not only produce a space of the
insulating air round about the body of the person wearing under-garments of
the described tissue-stuff, but that also their capability of absorbing transpiration
comes to effect, so that a person wearing body-clothing made of such stuff keeps
free from sweat during high temperatures, and consequently during sudden change
of temperature or in a current of air. would be much less subject to catch a cold
than those wearing body-linen made of stuff that has so far been usual.
A shirt made of the tissue described above, possesses therefore all those pleasant
peculiarities which are attributed to a woollen shirt worn underneath a shirt of stuff
woven in the usual manner, and offers besides the advantage of rendering possible a
slow changement of air on the surface of the skin, because the air surrounding the
same, as explained in the beginning of this description, can circulate through the
openings or through the pores of the principal or main-tissue.

page_text: invention and in what manner the same
Having now described the nature of claim is :-
is to be performed, I declare that what
1. The employment of a tissue for body clothing, as shirts, drawers and the like,
on the side of which surrounding the body of the person wearing the under-
garments, in order to form an air-space over the body, separate thick threads are
placed and combined to the principal or main tissue by some weaving threads of
the same.
2. The employment of a tissue as referred to under No. 1 for body-clothing,
provided with numerous small perforations in the principal or main tissue so
that the same leaves easily escape the evaporation of the person wearing the
body-linen.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two
subscribing witnesses.
