Application October 2, 1937, ASerial No. 167,080

1 Claim.

This invention relates generally to a fabricated multicolored strand band, but more specifically to a Woven and unravelable composition of multicolored and variegated strands of yarn from which the user can readily detach a length of any individual strandv singly without snarling the fabric and thus causing the unravelling of the weave.

The main object of the invention is to provide a fabrication of multicolored and variegated strands of yarn for sewing purposes fabricated into the form of a woven band member wherein provision is made to prevent the unravelling of the weave and for effecting easy accessibility for the choice and withdrawal of any one particular strand. Another object of the invention resides in the provision of a yarn supply made up of strands of dierent colors and materials in the form of a permanent, lasting and attractive band fabric, the terminals of which are fringed and disposed in fan formation.

A further object of the invention resides is the provision of an article of the above nature 25 which may be used by tailors. dressmakers, housewives, and ofiice workers, as a-substitute for carrying a stock of spools of yarn of various colors and materials.' Moreover, the article takes up very little space, may be carried in a handbag, and is capable of being folded, wrinkled and washed like any other fabricated material.

These objects and other incidental ends and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear in the progress of the disclosureand as pointed out in the appended claim.

Accompanying this specification is a drawing showing a preferred form of theinvention and wherein corresponding reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

In accordance with the drawing:

Flgure I is a view in perspective illustrating a preferred form4 of the fabricated yarn composition..

Figure 2 is a magnified view of form of bows D and E. 'I'he terminals of body A.

,g outside of bows D and E are fringed as at F and one of any one v of the strands making up the weave of Figure 1.I

G, the said fringes F and G being disposed in a fanlike formation resulting from the constrictions of the bow members D and E. The purpose of the constrictions on the body A is to prevent the unravelling of the woven strands when the 5 article is manipulated for use and when it is crumpled and uncrumpled for storing and handling.

' The weave shown in Figure 1 is preferably accomplished by utilizing groups of strands such as the groups indicated by numerals I0 to 24 inelusive, the strandsY of each group being preferably of the same color and strands of any predetermined groups being of such yarns as cotton. rayon, silk, wool, worsted and the like. The fabric is either knitted, woven or braided in pattern which utilizes each group of strands as single thread, the most practical pattern being one which facilitates the individual removal of the strands from any group. The pattern shown in Figure 1 is a simple braided one. but any other pattern is feasible which facilitates the removal of the strands as above said.

The strands of each of the groups i0 to 24 are woven, braided o`r knitted with the strands ofeach group arranged side by side and substantially in the same plane so that the resulting fabric is dat or bandlike to prevent snarling when any particular strand is removed from the body A. The fanlike and fringed end formations F and G facilitate the grasping and removal of any one Y particular strand of any group. In order to remove a strand any end is grasped by the finger at the tip, the body A being held by the other hand on the further bow. After the strand is with- 3,-, drawn, the user grasps the body A at the bows E and D to straighten body A out in the event that any snarling has taken place. After the body A has been so straightened out, it retains the strength and integrity of its original condition. When a large quantity of strands have been withdrawn from body A. a latticelike appearance will result, but it should be remembered that no matter how many strands are left in body A, it will be impossible for them to separate until each one is separately withdrawn from beyond the bows D and E. Numeral 25 in Figure 2 merely represents a typicalstrand in cross section, this strand being made of any yarn and color of yarn.

The constrictions in the ends of body A which effectuate the fanlike terminals bring about a pleating at the points of constriction which, in addition to serving a mechanical function, serve to present an ornate and finishing touch to the product. The color patterns which body A may assume are unlimited because of the fact that various groups of speciilc coiors and specific yarns may be intertwined in various pattern formations.

I wish it understood that minor changes and variations in the weave, knit, braid, color and yarn patterns, together with minor variations in the constrictions and fringing of the body of the invention, may all be resorted to without departing from the spiritof the invention and without 10 departing from the scope of the appended claim.

I claim. As an article of manufacture, a household, oice and travelling sewing and mending tie com-i -prising groups of ilexible yarns vstrands of approximately equal lengths, .the strands of each group lying in side by side relation and substantially in the same plane, and the groups themselves being intertwined to form a at fabricated band, constricting means inwardly spaced from each of the ends of the band to maintain the integrity of the intertwined formation oi' the intermediate portion of the band, said means also causing the portions outwardly thereof to assume 1o a fan-like formation whereby each strand is readily accessible for independent withdrawal.

DAVID GOLDMAN.
