- SHIRT-ENVELOP.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 30, 1912.
Application filed January 4, 1911. Serial No. 600,822.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE \VonomoirAM, citizen of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shirt-Envelops, of which the following is a specification. p
This invention relates to wrappers and more particularly to that class of wrappers especially designed to house and protect shirts and similar articles of wearing apparel after the latter have been laundered.
The object of the invention is to provide a wrapper, the construction of which is such as to prevent soiling of a shirt, either when kept in stock or in the course of delivery to the owner, while at the same time admitting of inspection of the contents of the wrapper so-that the nature and style of the article housed therein may readily be determined.
A further object is to provide a wrapper including a back section having a strip of relatively thin translucent material permanently secured thereto and covering one side thereof so as to form a. garment receiving pocket gradually decreasing in size from one end of the back section to the other.
Further objects and advantages will appear inthe following description, it being understood that various changes in form,
proportions and minor details of construetion may bc'rcsorted to within the scope of the appended claims.
For a full understanding of'the invention and the merits thereof, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shirt wrapper constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same; i Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view, showing the garment receiving pocket open and in position to receive a shirt; Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view'taken on the line 44 of Fig; 1 and looking in the direction of the arrow, the front section of the wrapper being shown in full lines in normal position, and in dotted lines in distended position to permit the insertion of a shirt;
* Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1 and looking in the direction of the arrow; Fig. 6 is'a longitudinal sectional view, partly in perspective, showing the manner of housing the shirt within the garment receiving pocket.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all views of the drawings by the same reference characters.
The wrapper comprises an elongated back section 5, preferably formed of cardboard or other relatively stiff material, said section being of sufficient length'to form a support for a shirt of standard size, and having its opposite longitudinal edges disposed parallel with each other and its ends arranged at right angles to said edges, as shown. Ex-
- tending across the front face of the back section 5, is a strip of relatively thin and preferably translucent material 6, such as tissue paper, which. latter forms a housing for a shirt or other article to be protected. The opposite longitudinal edges of the front section 6, are permanently secured to the rear face of the back section 5, by folding the materialcomprising said front section inwardly over the adjacent longitudinal edges of said back section to form wedge-shaped attaching flanges 7, which flanges are glued or otherwise fastened to the back section. The intermediate portion of the front section 6 is spaced slightly from. the front face of the back section 5 to form an intermediate pocket 8 adapted to receive a shirt, the
opposite ends of the material forming the front section 6 preferably terminating short of the'adjacent ends of the back section 5 so as to facilitate inserting the shirt within the pocket, and also to form extended portions or lips 9 at the opposite ends of the pocket which prevent damage to the shirt when throwing the wrappers containing the shirts into a delivery wagon or otherwise handling said wrappers.
It will here be noted that the front section 6 gradually increases in width from one end of the back section to the otherend thereof, the excess material being extended laterally beyond the" adjacent longitudinal edges of the back sections, as indicated at 10, thus to produce a pocket gradually decreasing in depth, so as to conform to the shape of a shirt and thus permit the shirt to be readily inserted. in the pocket w-ithout danger o tearing the front section 6, or without causing the formation of wrinkles or folds in the garment.
The material forming the upper end of the front section 6 is preferably folded inwardly to form a reinforced edge 11 to assist in preventing tearingof the front section when inserting a shirt within the pocket or removing said shirt therefrom.
Attention is here called to the fact that 1 displacement thereof. It will also be noted that the back section 5 is substantially concavo-convex in cross section so that the material comprising the front section 6 will be retained in position thereon without wvrinkling, this concavoconvex formation of the back section also facilitating the insertion of the shirt within the pocket when the opposite longitudinal edges of the back sec tion are grasped in the hand and slightly flexed as shown in Fig. 6 of the drawings.
In using thewrapper, the small or thin end of a laundered shirt is inserted in the mouth of the pocket 8, and a slight longitudinal pressure exerted on both the shirt and lower end of the back section, which causes the shirt to extend approximately half way within the pocket, after which the wrapper is placed on end and the longitudinal edges of the back section slightly flexed which allows the shirt to drop by gravity until it is entirely housed within the pocket, the front section 6 at the contracted end thereof, by frictional engagement with the thin end of the shirt, serving to retain the shirt within the pocket and effectually prevent accidental displacement thereof during transportation orshipment. Theffront sections 6 being permanently attached to the back section, the pocket is always in position to receive a shirt, thus dispensing with the employment of locking tongues, flaps and similar auxiliary fastening device which are necessary and now in general use for securing the outer section to the inner section.
It will of course be understood that the wrappers may be made in different standard sizes, and if desired, the front section 6,
measure instead of being translucent, may be made of opaque material without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A wrapper comprising a relatively stiff back section and a relatively flexible front section, the front section being secured at its rear edge portions to the corresponding edge portions of the back section, the portion of the front section between its outer edge portions being of greater width at one end than the said back section, whereby to afford a pocket between the sections tapering from end to end.
v2. A wrapper comprising a relatively stiff back section and a relatively flexible front section, the front section being secured at its lateral edge portions to the corresponding. edge portions of the back section, the portion of the front section between its at tached edge portions being of greater width at one end than the back section at the corresponding end and at its other end being of substantially the same width as the back section at the corresponding end, whereby to afford a pocket between the sections tapering from end to end.
3. A wrapper comprising a relatively stiff back section and a relatively flexible front section, the front section being securedat its lateral edge portions to the corresponding edge portions of the back section, the portion of the front section between its at tached edge portions being of greater width at one end than the back section at the cor responding end and at its other'end being of substantially the same width as the back section at the corresponding end, whereby to afford a pocket'between the sections tapering from end to end, the said-front section at its end edge portions being unattached to th back section. i
In. testimony whereof, I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
