COMPOSITE ELASTIC BANDS FOR GARMENTS INCORPORATING SUCH BANDS Filed June 1l, 1959 /nvmor JOHN EDWARD LY/IAM States atent 3,07 8,469 'COMPGSITE ELAST IC BANDS FOR GARMENTS INCRPORATING SUCH BANDS John Edward Lynam, Mapperley, England, assignor to Automatic Braiding Company (Nottingham) Limited, Nottingham, England Filed `lune 11, 1959, Ser. No. 819,686 Claims priority, application Great Britain .lune 21, 1958 3 Claims. (Cl. 2-338) This invention concerns improvements in composite elastic bands and particularly composite elastic bands which are adapted to be attached to a garment as a prefabricated part or incorporated in the garment during manufacture as an integral part. The principal location at which such bands may be used is at the waist, for example as supporting bands in pajamas, briefs, shorts and like garments, but it will be appreciated that they may be employed as constricting bands at edge openings of garments as required, or for constricting without supporting.
This invention provides a composite elastic band which is capable of being stretched elastically from a relaxed condition and particularly a band in or for a garment, comprising a core of at least one ribbon of elastic A(i.e. rubber, natural or synthetic) and a textile coveringr sheath at least partly enclosing it wherein over at least a substantial part of the width of the core and at regions closely spaced lengthwise of the core the latter is stuck to the sheath and in the relaxed condition of the band the material of the sheath is tensioned in the widthwise direction of the band and is puckered or gathered in the lengthwise direction of the band by the adhered core.
The invention also provides a composite elastic band which is capable of being stretched elastically from a relaxed condition, comprising a core of at least one ribbo-n of elastic (rubber) and an enclosing sheath consisting of a strip of textile material folded round the core with its edges disposed at one face of the band and extending lengthwise thereof, which core and sheath are stuck together over at least a substantial part of the width of the core and at regions closely spaced lengthwise of the core.
Preferably the edges of the sheath substantially abut or overlap, and it is also preferred that these edges be stuck together. It is however within the scope of the invention so to arrange matters that there is a gap between the edges of the sheath.
In one construction according to the invention lthe core occupies substantially the full Width of the sheath. In an alternative construction it occupies less than the full width of the sheath and the latter presents at least one marginal or intermediate portion unoccupied by the core.
The sheath may be made ofinextensible fabric or extensible fabric. Of the latter, knitted fabric is Preferred and it is also preferred that the wales shall extend widthwise of the band although they may extend lengthwise of the band. Interlock fabric or a suitable warp knitted fabric may beused.
In manufacture it is necessary to enclose the core in the sheath while the core is extended. If the sheath is made of extensible fabric it may be applied while in unstretched, or in partially stretched, or substantially fully stretched, condition provided that the core is stretched to a still greater extent so that when the composite band is relaxed the adhered core tensions the sheath widthwise of the band and puckers or gathers it in the lengthwise direction of the band. The resultant composite band is capable of being stretched lengthwise without an accompanying undesirable reduction in width and the puckering or gathering of the sheath in the relaxed condition gives the band an attractive appearance and a desired bulk; these features render the band particularly suitable for use in garments for example as a waist band or other constrictive band at an edge opening or at any other desired location.
In order that the invention may be better understood reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of one composite band according to this invention, the sheath being partly removed to disclose the core, and
FIGURE 2 is a section on a larger scale taken on the line 2-2 in FIGURE l.
FIGURE 3 is a similar perspective view of a further band, and
FIGURES 4 and 5 are elevations of still further bands.
FIGURES 6, 7 and 8 are sectional views similar to FIGURE 2 but showing modifications, while FIGURES 9 and 10 are sectional views illustrating, to some extent diagrammatically, ways in which a band according to this invention may be incorporated in a garment.
Referring to FIGURE 1 the composite elastic band therein illustrated comprises a core consisting in this example of a single thin and initially flat ribbon 10 of elastic (rubber) disposed within a covering or sheath 11 constituted by a strip of fabric folded round the core to closely embrace it. The ribbon may with advantage be 1% wide by 1;/76" thick although these dimensions may be varied somewhat. 'I'he sheath is made of interlock fabric with wales extending widthwise of the band. It consists of a wide strip of fabric, wider than the ribbon It), which completely covers one face of the ribbon and is folded round the two edges of the ribbon and completely covers the other face of the ribbon at which last mentioned face the marginal parts 11a, 11b of the fabric overlap. The overlap may occur at any desired location in the width of the band and the overlapping material parts are desirably stuck together by adhesive indicated at 12 in FIGURE 2.
At least one face and preferably each face of the ribbon lll is stuck to the sheath 11 over a substantial part of the width of the ribbon and at regions closely spaced lengthwise thereof. In the arrangement illustrated in FIGURE l the adhesive is disposed in closely spaced transverse lines or stripes 13. In other arrangements it is disposed in dots 14, FIGURES 3 and 4, or dashes 15, FIGURE 5. Any desired pattern arrangement of lines, dots, dashes (or any combination thereof) may be employed. It is preferred however that basically the areas of adhesive shall form transverse (and continuous as in FIG. 1 or discontinuous as shown -by way of example in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5) lines or narrow stripes which are separated but closely spaced in the lengthwise direction of the core.
In the manufacture of the composite band, the ribbon 1d is drawn from a supply thereof, tensioned, and while stretched to an appropriate extent has the adhesive applied to it and the sheath material wrapped round it, the sheath material being in unstretched condition or stretched to a desired extent and its overlapping edges being stuck together. The applied sheath is held on the stretched ribbon for a sufficient time to permit the adhesive to take effect before the composite band is permitted to relax. As the -band relaxes the ribbon 10 tends to expand widthwise. This widthwise expansion is resisted by the sheath material along the adhesive stripes 13 with the result that at these regions, since the ribbon is unable to expand widthwise, it thickens up. Between the stripes 13 the ribbon adopts a corrugated form as shown in FIGURE 2. The lengthwise contraction of the ribbon 19 also causes the sheath to be gathered or puckered in the lengthwise direction of the band, the degree of puckering being proaerea-ee portional to the ditference in stretch between the sheath and the ribbon when the sheath is being applied around the ribbon.
As the adhesive is applied in what are essentially closely spaced transverse lines the puckering will be in the form of regular transverse ridges or tintes as shown in FGURES 1, 2, 4 and 5 but it will be understood that other pattern arrangements of adhesive will produce other forms of puckering.
instead of the marginal parts 11a, 11b of the sheath material having an overlap as shown in FlGURES 1 and 2, they may be arranged substantially to abut as illustrated in FlGURE 3. The abutting marginal parts may be stuck to the face of the ribbon by a longitudinally extending stripe of adhesive 16. Although in FIGURE 3 this arrangement is illustrated in conjunction with spots of adhesive, it is applicable to any of the constructions herein described and illustrated.
instead of the core consisting of a single ribbon it may consist of a plurality of ribbons with their adjacent edges abutting, or spaced apart to leave an intermediate portion in the width 4of the sheath which is unoccupied by the core. In FlGURE 6 the use of two such ribbons 10a, 11?!) is illustrated. A plurality of such core ribbons may be employed in conjunction with any pattern arrangement of adhesive and in conjunction with overlapping or abutting marginal parts of the sheath.
In FIGURES 1-6 the core occupies the full width of the sheath 11. FIGURES 7 and 8 illustrate constructions in which the core 10 occupies less than the full width of the sheath and the latter presents at least one marginal part indicated at 11C which is unoccupied by the core. Even although in such a construction the sheath does not closely embrace both edges of the core it is tensioned widthwise of the band because it is stuck to' the core in the manner already described and is likewise puckered or compressed lengthwise of the band. This puckering or compression dies out in the part 11C which is not occupied Iby the core. This part may be employed in attaching of a band to the fabric of a garment or to any other material. FIGURE 8 illustrates the fact that the overlapping margins 11a, 11b may occur in this part 11C.
FIGURE 9 illustrates one manner in'which a composite lband according to this invention may be secured to a garment. For the sake of neatness that face of the band at which the edges of the sheath occur is presented to the garment fabric 17 and the edge portion 17a of this fabric is turned over and down so as to lie against that face, the fold in the garment fabric being substantially coincident with an edge lof the band. The band is sewn to the garment fabric by as many lines of stitching as is desirable,
four lines 18a, 18h, 18C and 18d being illustrated in FIG- -URE 9. Since this gure illustrates the use of a tworibbon core there are two rows of stitches for each of the ribbons 10a, 10b. It will be understood that the band is sewn to the garment fabric while in the longitudinally stretched condition, the garment fabric being desirably either unstretched or incompletely stretched so that when the band is permitted to relax the garment fabric is puckered.
In the modiiied arrangement shown in FlGURE 10 the marginal part of the garment fabric 17 is sandwiched between the aforesaid face or the composite band and a covering strip 19 which has its marginal parts 19a, 19h turned inwards for the sake of neatness. At least one row of stitches extends through the main or outer portion of the covering strip 19, each such marginal part 19a or 1%, and the composite band. in FGURE 10 two such rows `of stitches through each marginal part 19a or 19h are illustrated.
