IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED NUBIAS AND VEILS.

Speciiicaton forming part of Letters Patent No. 145,977, dated December30, 1873; application filed October 31, 1873.

To all whom ,it may concern:

Be it known that I,Jo1-1N W. TUTTLE, of Watertown, of the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Nubias, or, in other words, a Combined Nubia and Veil 5 and do hereby declare the saine to be fully described in the following specification and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure l is a perspective view of the article; Fig. 2, a transverse section of it. Fig. 3 ex liibits it as applied to the head, neck, and face of a person.

It is a nubia or knit scarf, made or provided with a veil iiXed to one edge and to the ends of it, the veil usually being of the same material as the nubia, and knit or formed with it.

The way I make the article is to form the nubiav and the veil in one piece of netting or knitting of the proper length and width, after which it is to be folded lengthwise at one-third of its width, the part folded down on one-half of the rest being at and along its edge fastened or sewed to the portion upon which it is directly folded, and constituting therewith, and when finished, the nubia, the rest or remaining third of the piece of knit fabric being over or carried across, and so as to cover the face.

-In the drawings, A denotes the nubia or knit scarf or tippet, and B the veil, C C being the tassels at their connected ends.

I claim- As a new manufacture, the knit scarf or nubia A,1nade or provided with the veil B projecting from one edge of it, the two being lapped upon each other, andy-connected and gathered at their next adjacent ends, all substantially as shown and described.

J. W. TUTTLE.
