S. D. GILKERSON. REINFORCING AND SHAPE KEEPING CARD FOR CLOTHES. AiPLIGATION FILED AUG.14. 1911 1,021,593, Patened Mar. 26, 1912.
SOLOMON DAVID GILKERSON, 0F WINNI?EG-, MANITOBA, CANADA.
REINFOBQCING AND SHAPE-KEEPING CARD FOR CLOTHES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 23, 1%12.
Application filed August 14, 1911. Serial No. 644,030.
To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, SOLOMON DAVID G11.- KERSON, of the city of Winnipeg, in the Province of Manitoba, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Reinforcing and Shape-Keeping Cards for Clothes, of which the following is the specification.
My invention relates to a card insertibie particularly within coats prior to the coats being placed in boxes for delivering purposes, and the object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive and eflicient device which will effectually prevent the coat from shifting within the box and becoming wrinkled or creased, a particular feature being that the shoulders are kept from being flattened down.
\Vith the above object in view the invention consists essentially in the arrangement and construction of parts hereinafter more particularly described and later pointed out in the appended claim.
Figure 1 is a plan View of the card as it appears when in use prior to the coat being finally folded in the box. Fig. 2 is plan view of the card. Fig. 3 is a side view of the same.
In the drawing like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.
1 represents a past-eboard box as is customarily used for delivering a suit of clothes. F
2 represents a pasteboard or other suit able thin card of a size which will allow it to pass into the box when it is fitted into the coat 3 as later explained. The card is out so as to presenta shape similar to the back of a coat, it having four corners cut away to present edges 4:, 5, 6, and 7, the edges 4 and 5 corresponding to the shoulder seam of the back of the coat, while those 6 and 7 correspond to part of the side seam thereof. The sides 8 and 9 of the card intermerliate between the edges 4, 6, and 5, 7, respectively, corresponding with what is calledfthe back arms of the coat back.
10 is a tab or flap extending from the top of the card and designed to enter what is termed, the neck gorge, of the coat.
When the article is used it is inserted within the coat with the sides 8 and 9 entering the arm holes, and the tab 10 extending more or less at right angles from the .55 body of the card through the collar of the coat. The coat with the inserted card. is then placed in the box as shown in Fig. l, with the coat collar appearing between the tab 10 and the side of the box so that the coat collar is kept in the natural position through the combined. efi'ort of the tab and the side of the box. The coat sleeves are folded to the front as shown, after which the tail of the coat, or that which extends geyond the box, is turned upwardly into the v Just after the card is inserted within the coat the usual trousers and vest of a suit of clothes are placed on the upper face of the card beneath the coat lapels and within the shoulder pads, so that when the cover is finally placed on the box and the box is shipped or delivered. the coat cannot shift in it and become wrinkled or creased as is customary where no card is employed.
It is to be noticed that there is simply enough clearance left between the edges of the card and the walls of the box to allow the coat, with the inserted card, to be placed .snugly in the box.
'If it is considered advisable by the merchant to turn the coat inside out when packing .to preserve the front so that in event of accident the lining only will be damaged, the card is inserted within the reversed coat in the same manner as above described, but in this case the sides 8 and 9 enter the reversed arm-holes.
What I claim as my invention is:
A shape keeping card for coats having at the top a projecting tab, adapted to be folded back at right angles to the body of the card and adapted to bear against the side of the containing box so as to hold the 95 collar of a coat fitted on the card in the up;
right position, and having edges inclining downwardly from opposite sides'of the tab and corresponding "to the slope of the shoulders of the coat, straight side edges for straight lower edge "for determining the point of fold of the bod stantially as described. 7
Signed at Winnipeg, in the Province of y of the coat, sub- Manitoba, this 28th day of July 1911.
SOLOMON DAVID GILKERSON.
