Abstract
A garment suited for a young child comprises cuffs which are devoid of any hem at their distal end and which have hidden side seams. A pouch overlays the cuff at the distal end; the pouch is invertible over the cuff end to enclose an appendage such as a hand or foot of the wearer within the cuff. When the pouch is not inverted, the cuff may be turned back to expose the appendage.
Description
CONVERTIBLE CUFF/EXTREMITY COVER
FOR WEARING APPAREL
FIELD OF INVENTION
s This invention relates to wearing apparel. It particularly relates to wearing apparel which is convertible between a first mode wherein a limb appendage such as a hand or foot will be exposed from the apparel, and a second mode in which the appendage is enclosed.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Infant's sleepers which are in a sense convertible are known in the art. The garment includes sleeves on the outer surface of which at the distal end thereof is provided a pouch. The pouch is formed by a layer of material overlaying the front or the back of the sleeve, which layer is stitched into the side seams and bottom hem of the sleeve, and accordingly, the pouch has a blind-bottom.
The pouch is invertible over the end of the sleeve so as to close the sleeve end and thereby prevent the hand of an infant from projecting beyond the sleeve end. When the pouch is inverted in this manner, it tends to reduce the length of the sleeve, and to bunch up several thicknesses of 212~86G
FOR WEARING APPAREL
FIELD OF INVENTION
s This invention relates to wearing apparel. It particularly relates to wearing apparel which is convertible between a first mode wherein a limb appendage such as a hand or foot will be exposed from the apparel, and a second mode in which the appendage is enclosed.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Infant's sleepers which are in a sense convertible are known in the art. The garment includes sleeves on the outer surface of which at the distal end thereof is provided a pouch. The pouch is formed by a layer of material overlaying the front or the back of the sleeve, which layer is stitched into the side seams and bottom hem of the sleeve, and accordingly, the pouch has a blind-bottom.
The pouch is invertible over the end of the sleeve so as to close the sleeve end and thereby prevent the hand of an infant from projecting beyond the sleeve end. When the pouch is inverted in this manner, it tends to reduce the length of the sleeve, and to bunch up several thicknesses of 212~86G
material into the sleeve end. Since the sleeves of the garment must be made sufficiently long to accommodate the hands of the infant within the sleeves when these are closed by the pouches, it follows that the hands will not tend to project beyond the sleeve ends when these are uncovered, and the s garment as a whole tends to be oversized and not to conduce to the comfort of the infant. While the sleevcs could conceivably be rolled back on the garment so as to expose the infant's hands, this would also expose the hems and seams, and would present an unattractive appearance.
It is an object of this invention to provide improved wearing apparel which is of use for more controllably and more attractively converting between one mode in which a limb appendage is covered and another mode in which the limb appendage is uncovered.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one aspect of this invention, an item of wearing apparel comprises a tubular cuff for fitting about the distal end of thelimb and its appendage, which cuff includes a pouch at its distal end. The cuff is structured so as to be easily turned back, so as to uncover the appendage and cover the pouch. When the cuff is turned down, the pouch 3 21 248~
is exposed, and is invertible over the distal end of the cuff so as to close theappendage within the cuff, whereby the cuff will function as a bootie or a mitten.
The pouch at the bottom thereof is ~nit~rily formed with the cuff, whereby the S bottom is devoid of any hem. When the pouch is inverted over the cuff end, the length of the cuff is essenti~lly unaltered, and m~teri~l is not bunched up into the cuff.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the cuffs are layed-up by folding two strips of m~teri~l, which are sewn together at seams along their lon~ih~ n~l sides and then inverted to totally enclose and hide the seams.The folds of the strips of m~teri~l define the ends of the cuffs; accordingly, the cuffs are devoid of any hems or exposed seams, and present a smooth, stitch freesurface for contact with the infant's skin and an attractive appearance when turned back.
G~rment~ incorporating the cuffs about leg openings or arm openings can be made more form-fitting in co~-p~ on to the prior art convertible g~rmtont~, and will controllably cover the hands and feet of an infant when this is desired, or expose t~hem when desired.
The foregoing objects and aspects of the invention, together with other objects, aspects and advantages thereof will be more apparent from a 1~
~ 2124866 consideration of the following description of the preferred embodiment thereof taken in conjunction with the drawings annexed hereto.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Considering the drawings in detail, and initially with reference to FIGS. 12 - 14, an infant's sleeping garment of the prior art includes a body portion B with arms A which taper towards their distal ends, which ends are open to permit an infant's hands to project therethrough. Arms A are made ~ ~.4~
up from front and back portions of generally identical dimensions, which portions are joined together at each side along their length at seams S. A
strip of material M folded end to end overlays the back portion of arm A
adjacent the distal end, the free ends of the strip being joined to the free endof the back portion of the arm at a hem H which circumscribes the open end of the arm. The strips of material M are also joined to arms A at seams S, to form with the arms pouches P, the entrance of each pouch facing away from the distal end of the associated arm A. As seen in Fig. 14, the pouch P may be inverted over the end of arm A to close the end. However, this has the effect of shortening the length of the arms A, and of bunching up material within the ends of the arms.
With reference now to FIG. 1, an infant's garment constructed in accordance with the invention is identified generally therein by the numeral 20. Garment 20 includes a body portion 22 with leg portions 24 extending therefrom which taper towards an opening 25 at their distal end. Each of the leg portions 24 is provided with a tubular cuff 30, the left hand cuff being shown in its up-turned position, and the right hand cuff fully extended. The cuff 30 when downwardly turned extend between ends 31, 33 and has a length L which is approximately equal to twice the length of the foot of the -average infant for whom the garment 20 is intended, and when the cuff is upturned to the position of the left hand cuff of the garment of FIG. 1, the foot of the infant will normally project beyond the open end of the cuff. When the cuff 30 is in its extended position, it will normally cover the foot without s requiring that the leg of the infant be ret,acled into the leg portion 24 of the garment 20. With reference to FIGS. 8 - 10, each cuff 30 has associated therewith a pouch 32 which in its normal position, seen in FIG. 9 permits the cuff to be turned back, and which in its inverted position, seen in FIG. 10 closes the end of the cuff.
Cuff 30 is constructed from two strips of equal width material 40, 42, respectively having a pair of free ends 40F, 42F, which strips are considered to have an outer surface and an inner surface, and where the description warrants a differentiation, the letters "O" or "I" may be appended to the numerals.
Strip 42 has a length of 3L, and is folded end to end with the outer surface facing outwardly at a first fold 44; the forward one third 45 of this folded strip is then over-folded, i.e. is folded back upon itself at a second fold 46 whereby the overall length of the doubly folded strip is equal to L.
Strip 40 has a length equal to 2L, and is folded end to end with the inner A.
21 2~866 surface facing outwardly at a fold 48 so as to envelope folded strip 42 therein,with the free ends 40F, 42F of strips 40 and 42 superposed. The resulting multi-ply lay up is seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, and is seamed at each longitudinal side 40S, 42S at stitched seam 50 to form a closed end cuff 30A. Closed end cuff 30A is inverted to form an open ended, inside out cuff 30B seen in FIGS.
4 and 5. A leg portion 24 of garment 20 is passed through the inside out cuff 30B and is joined to the free ends thereof at seam 56. Following this step, the inside-out cuff 30B is rolled downwardly over itself to form cuff 30 in its normal configuration in which it extends from leg portion 24.
With reference to FIG. 11, the formation of cuff 30 in the manner described above will be seen to enclose seams 50, so as to provide a smooth, stitch free finish along both the inside surfaces and the outside surfaces of the cuff 30. The formation in the above manner further serves to form associated pouch 32 which comprises the over-folded end portion 45 of 15 the second strip 42. The arrangement provides a continuous passage between pouch 32 and the interior of cuff 30, devoid of any hem, and the inversion of the pouch to close the distal end of the cuff has a negligible effect upon the length of the cuff, and does not bunch-up material within the cuff.
While the material from which cuff 30 is formed is not critical, it is preferred that it be a fine jersey knit oriented so as to be more sl,etcl,able about the circumference of the cuff than along its length. A non-slip finish or layer 60 may be applied to the surface of pouch 32 which is outermost S when the pouch is inverted to close the cuff end.
It will be apparent that many changes may be made to the illustrative embodiment while falling within the scope of the invention, and it is intended that all such changes be covered by the claims appended hereto.
It is an object of this invention to provide improved wearing apparel which is of use for more controllably and more attractively converting between one mode in which a limb appendage is covered and another mode in which the limb appendage is uncovered.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Considering the drawings in detail, and initially with reference to FIGS. 12 - 14, an infant's sleeping garment of the prior art includes a body portion B with arms A which taper towards their distal ends, which ends are open to permit an infant's hands to project therethrough. Arms A are made ~ ~.4~
up from front and back portions of generally identical dimensions, which portions are joined together at each side along their length at seams S. A
strip of material M folded end to end overlays the back portion of arm A
adjacent the distal end, the free ends of the strip being joined to the free endof the back portion of the arm at a hem H which circumscribes the open end of the arm. The strips of material M are also joined to arms A at seams S, to form with the arms pouches P, the entrance of each pouch facing away from the distal end of the associated arm A. As seen in Fig. 14, the pouch P may be inverted over the end of arm A to close the end. However, this has the effect of shortening the length of the arms A, and of bunching up material within the ends of the arms.
With reference now to FIG. 1, an infant's garment constructed in accordance with the invention is identified generally therein by the numeral 20. Garment 20 includes a body portion 22 with leg portions 24 extending therefrom which taper towards an opening 25 at their distal end. Each of the leg portions 24 is provided with a tubular cuff 30, the left hand cuff being shown in its up-turned position, and the right hand cuff fully extended. The cuff 30 when downwardly turned extend between ends 31, 33 and has a length L which is approximately equal to twice the length of the foot of the -average infant for whom the garment 20 is intended, and when the cuff is upturned to the position of the left hand cuff of the garment of FIG. 1, the foot of the infant will normally project beyond the open end of the cuff. When the cuff 30 is in its extended position, it will normally cover the foot without s requiring that the leg of the infant be ret,acled into the leg portion 24 of the garment 20. With reference to FIGS. 8 - 10, each cuff 30 has associated therewith a pouch 32 which in its normal position, seen in FIG. 9 permits the cuff to be turned back, and which in its inverted position, seen in FIG. 10 closes the end of the cuff.
Cuff 30 is constructed from two strips of equal width material 40, 42, respectively having a pair of free ends 40F, 42F, which strips are considered to have an outer surface and an inner surface, and where the description warrants a differentiation, the letters "O" or "I" may be appended to the numerals.
Strip 42 has a length of 3L, and is folded end to end with the outer surface facing outwardly at a first fold 44; the forward one third 45 of this folded strip is then over-folded, i.e. is folded back upon itself at a second fold 46 whereby the overall length of the doubly folded strip is equal to L.
Strip 40 has a length equal to 2L, and is folded end to end with the inner A.
21 2~866 surface facing outwardly at a fold 48 so as to envelope folded strip 42 therein,with the free ends 40F, 42F of strips 40 and 42 superposed. The resulting multi-ply lay up is seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, and is seamed at each longitudinal side 40S, 42S at stitched seam 50 to form a closed end cuff 30A. Closed end cuff 30A is inverted to form an open ended, inside out cuff 30B seen in FIGS.
4 and 5. A leg portion 24 of garment 20 is passed through the inside out cuff 30B and is joined to the free ends thereof at seam 56. Following this step, the inside-out cuff 30B is rolled downwardly over itself to form cuff 30 in its normal configuration in which it extends from leg portion 24.
With reference to FIG. 11, the formation of cuff 30 in the manner described above will be seen to enclose seams 50, so as to provide a smooth, stitch free finish along both the inside surfaces and the outside surfaces of the cuff 30. The formation in the above manner further serves to form associated pouch 32 which comprises the over-folded end portion 45 of 15 the second strip 42. The arrangement provides a continuous passage between pouch 32 and the interior of cuff 30, devoid of any hem, and the inversion of the pouch to close the distal end of the cuff has a negligible effect upon the length of the cuff, and does not bunch-up material within the cuff.
While the material from which cuff 30 is formed is not critical, it is preferred that it be a fine jersey knit oriented so as to be more sl,etcl,able about the circumference of the cuff than along its length. A non-slip finish or layer 60 may be applied to the surface of pouch 32 which is outermost S when the pouch is inverted to close the cuff end.
It will be apparent that many changes may be made to the illustrative embodiment while falling within the scope of the invention, and it is intended that all such changes be covered by the claims appended hereto.
