Description
~L222iO~
The present invention generally relates to novel wearing apparel and, specifically, to a hand or arm covering such as a mitt or sleeve of coat.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The difficulties of inserting the hands or arms of infants or invalids into mitts and coat sleeves are well known to many people. In the case of mitts, the problem resides in placing the hand in an open position within the mitt with the thumb in a thumb stall. In the case of sleeves, the difficulty resides in maintaining the arm relatively straight and undersleeves in position as the arm is moved along the sleeve. The present invention seeks to provide a construction which considerably facilitates application of a mitt or sleeve to the hand or arm of the wearer.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The aforementioned problems are believed to be overcome by the present invention. The article of clothing of the present invention is constructed to assume two configurations, one of which is substantially planar and open and the other of which is substantially tubular with a closed end. Releasable fastening means are provided to maintain the closed, tubular configuration.
Thus, in the case of a mitt, to apply the mitt to the hand of a wearer, whether infant, invalid or otherwise, the mitt is simply laid outside surface down in the planar configuration on a support surface, such as a table, lap or the like, the hand is placed centrally of the blank in an open condition, with the thumb inserted into a thumb stall if same is provided, and the sides of the blank are wrapped around the hand and secured together. The forward or free end of the tubular configuration thus formed is then closed.
lZ2Z102 Generally, therefore, the present invention provides an aricle of clothing such as a mitt, sleeve or the like, which is transformable between a planar, open configuration and a closed, tubular configuration. The article comprises a blank of flexible material having a pair of lateral edges, a forward edge and a rearward edge. Releasable fastening means are associated with the lateral edges and the forward edge for releasably securing the lateral edges together after the blank has been wrapped around an appendage and releasably closing the forward end.

~222~02 DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The present invention will be described ~ith reference to a mitt. However, as more fully explained laterl the present invention is equally applicable to other forms of 5 ! clothing. The mitt 10 of the present invention is comprised of a generally rectangular blank of flexible material, preferrably multi-layer as explained later, having a pair of opposed lateral edges 12 and 14, a forward transverse edge 16, a rearward transverse edge 18, an interior surface 20 (FIGURE 2) and an exterior surface 22 (FIGURE 3). The mitt further includes releasable lateral edge fastening means 24 and releasable forward transverse edge fastening means 26.
The mitt is thus arranged to be transformed from the planar or open configuration shown in FIGURES 2 and 3 to the tubular or closed configuration, shown in FIGURE 1, in which the lateral and forward edge fastening means have been fastened.
Lateral edge fastening means 24 are preferrably comprised of a strip of velcro~ 30 secured to inside surface 20 adjacent and parallel to lateral edge 12 and a strip of velcro~ 32 secured to outside surface 22 adjacent and parallel to lateral edge 14 so that, when installing the mitt, lateral edge 12 is simply brought into parallel overlapping relation to lateral edge 14 and pressed thereagainst. However, it is to be understood that fastening means 24 may alternatively consist of a zipper, snaps, buttons and the like.
~Z22102 Fasteniny means 26 serves to close or seal forward edge 16 onto itself after the mitt has been wrapped around a hand of the wearer and velcro strips 30 and 32 have been secured together. Fastening means 26 preferrably comprises a drawstring 34 which extends through a channel 36 formed parallel to forward edge 16 by a hem 40 in the forward end of the blank and held thereat by a line 42 of stitching.
Drawstring 34 emerges from channel 36 via conventional eyelets 44 and 46 secured to the material in known fashion.
It will be understood that other forms of fastening means 26, including snaps, zippers, buttons, velcro and the like, may be utilized if desired without departing from the spirit of the invention.
As previously mentioned, the mitt may be of multi-layer construction and may include an outer protective and water-proofed layer 50 comprising, for example, a polyester cotton quilting mat, an intermediate, insulating layer 52 comprising felt, batting or knitted wool, and an inner layer 54 comprising a synthetic fleece, fur, terry cloth or knitted wool. The mitt is formed by cutting the three layers to the appropriate size and shape, folding the lateral edges inwardly on themselvesl as shown in FIGURE 2, and sewing in accordance with conventional practice.
Inner layer 54 may be formed such that its rearward transverse edge extends beyond the corresponding edges of the outer and intermediate layers so that it may be folded outwardly on itself and thereby form a cuff 60, as best shown in FIGURES 1 and 3-5. The forward edge 62 of inner layer 54 may be cut to form three arcuate portions 64, 66 and 68 (FIGURE 2) so as to simulate the shape in plan of a conventional mitt when the blank is in its tubular configuration.
~22102 Means is provided for sealing or closing the opening formed at the forward end of the mitt in the tubular configuration of the mitt. The means may be comprised of a tab 70 whose opposed ends are secured together, to form a tube 72, and which is secured to the mitt at one end of forward edge 16 as best shown in FIGURE 2. The roll is filled with material corresponding to that of the inner layer 54 and preferrably a strip of that material is extended into tube 72. FIGURE ~ illustrates tube 72 closing and sealing the opening formed at the forward end of the mitt in the tubular configuration thereof.
While the above described construction is quite adequate for young children, it is desirable to provide a thumbstall for older children and adults to permit grasping of articles. Any suitable thumbstall construction may be utilized and located at the desired position on the blank such as that indicated by dotted and dashed line 80. FIGURE
6 is a cross-sectional view of preferred thumbstall construction. The thumbstall includes outer and intermediate layers 74 and 75 formed of material corresponding to that of layers 50 and 52, respectively. Layers 74 and 75 are constructed in the form of truncated, oblique cones or frustums whose bases are sewn to the periphery of an opening 76 formed in outer and intermediate layers 50 and 52 of the mitt but not in inner layer 54. The material of layer 54 is gently forced and stretched into the interior of the thumbstall. This construction obviates the need of a seam in the inner layer and is thus more confortable than conventional thumbstalls.
.
It will be understood that the above described mitt may be secured to or made integral with the sleeves of a coat. As shown, FIGURE 7 illustrates a portion of the length of the rear transverse edge 18 of a mitt secured to the end of a sleeve of a coat. It will be understood that the entire rearward edge of the mitt may be secured to the sleeve about the periphery of the hand opening.
lZ;2Z~02 A still further modification of the mitt of the present invention is to provide tabs 82 and 84 at the opposed ends of rear edge 18 of the mitt so that the remote ends of the mitt may be secured together in use or so that two mitts may be secured together by means of a string extending through the sleeves of a coat as is generally well known.
Alternatively, the aricle of the present invention may constitute the entire sleeve of a jacket, coat or the like with rear edge 18 secured to the shoulder portion of the jacket. The rear edge 18 could be permanently secured to the jacket or selectively, partially or totally, detachably secured thereto by means such as velcro strips, zippers, snaps and like fastening devices. Such arrangements still further facilitate the dressing of children and invalids.
It will be understood that various other modifications and alterations may be made to the invention without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
