Be it known that I, LOUIS N. D; WIL- LIAMS, aciti-zen of the United States, residing in Ogontz, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Knitted Fabrics, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of an improvement in the knitted fabric forming the subject of Letters Patent N 0. 709,734, granted September 23, 1902, to Robert W. Scott and myself asfassignees of David C. Bellis,.the objects of my present invention being to produce a; backing web which is better adapted for the production ofafieece than is the backing the tying together of a fine face web and a coarser backing web without marring the appearance of the face web.

same; Fig. 2 is a section on the line aa, Fig.1; Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but illustrating the backing fabric made with a coarser or heavier yarn than the face fabric, and Fig. 4 is a section on the line b b, Fig. 3. The fabric forming the subject of the aforesaid Letters Patent No. 709,734 compris d two webs, one overlying the 'other and united at intervals by a loop of the am of one webengaging the other web, an the fabric forrping the subject of my. invention i ar character, thus in Figs. 1 and 3 of the. drawing, 1 represents the face web and 2 the] back web, the stitches of the face web being shaded in order to more clearly distinguishthem from.. the stitches of the back web, which are. inshaded. The two webs are connected t.- intervals by loops 3 of the yarn of the backing web engaging with wales ofthe face web, this being a preferable 1 method of connection, since it detracts less' from the uniform appearance of the face webthan would 100 s of the latter engaging the. back we although the latter method of connection 'may, if desired, be

-- used without departing from the mam feature of my invention, or other modifications .of the t ing structure, such as illustrated in said Be patent, may be used if desired.

The essential feature of novelty in my resent invention is the formation of the acking web with tuck stitches, the back web shown in the drawing having the stitches Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed Dauemberl1.l906 Serial No. 347.275.

Figs. 2 and 4, in which it'will be observed that the stitches x which en+ gage the double yarns where the'tucking eater extent on the exposed face of the we than takes place are caused to project to a one overlying the other and united at intervals by yarn ofone web engaging the other Web, the back web being knitted with tuck stitches whereby certain portions .of the exosed face of said back web are projected beyond the remaining portions.
