METHOD OF MAKING- NECKBANDS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 2,

Applieaitionfiled 0ctobe'r 25, 1911. Serial No. 656,686.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that IQALBERT LION, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at the city of Baltimore, State of Mary- 5 land. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Blaking Neckbands, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a neck band having a front or end pocket for the back or base of the collar button and particularly to a method of producing the same.

The object of the invention is to provide such a neck-band having a pocket to protect the neck from the base of the collar button,

opened as for the purpose of inserting the stud after the shirt has been laundered. To this end I make the lining or walls of the pocket of a single piece of material. The seam is preferably located at the end of the hand and is identical with the seam which joins the ends of the strips of which the band is composed. It will be apparent that when the pocket is opened up, a continuous lining will otter greater resistance to enlargement of the pocket by ripping than would a pocketmade with a seam at each end. In the production of my improved neck band by the preferred method, the top edge of the lining strip issewed for one half its length to the top edge of the neck strip proper at one end. Then the other half of the top edge of the lining strip is sewed to a corresponding portion of the top edges of the reinforcing: neck strips. Next the lining 'is reversed and its bottom edge is sewed to the bottom edge of the first neck strip, the ed, res being" turned in.

toided so that the reinforcing strips are on one side ot the neck strip and the half of the lining. which has been sewed at. its top edge to the top edge of the reinforcing strips, is on the other side at the .lined end of the first neck strip. The lop edges of the neck no strips are then sewed wig-other. the scam thus formed avoiding the top @(lQ'C of the lined end of the first in .l. strip. seam is deflected iglmtnwzird so that the end edges of all the strips are stitched together.

The parts are then Then the I Next the band thus formed is turned inside out so that the first neck strip is on the one side and the reinforcing neck strips are on the other side, the lining being between.

A shirt band constructed in accordance with my method andembodying the teaturesof my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. a

' Figure 1 shows the lining sewed at its top edge to the top edge of'the neck strip proper. Fig. 2 shows the neck strip proper and the reinforcing neck strips with the lining, the top edges of the latter being sewed to the corresponding portions of the top edges of the neck strips, the lining being also shown in dotted lines in asubsequent position. Fig. 3 shows the neck band after the top edges of the strips and the and edges have been seamed. Fig. 4:- shows the completed neck-hand.

The neck-band of my invention consists of a neck strip proper 1, a pocket lining 2, and two reinforcing

neck strips

3 and 4.

The pocket, in its preferred embodiment, is

formed in the end of the neck-band and is open top and bottom. Itis between the neck strip pro-per 1 and the inner member 3 of the reinforcing neck strips. The lining or walls proper of the pocket are formed entirely of the lining piece 2 which is. folded upon itself between the strips, as I have related. the two end edges 5 and (5 of the lining piece 2 being engaged by the end seam 10 which joins the end edges of the

neck strips

1, 3 and 4. The end of the neck strip proper 1 is reinforced by the half of the lining 2. In this the butt-onhole 11 is worked.- The lined end of the neck strip, as thus constructed, is narrower than the neckband, its lower edge being above the bottom edge of the neck-band so that the pocket is easy of access from without.

In the practice of the preferred method of producing the neck strip, the top edge of one half of the lining member 2 is sewed to the top edge of the neck strip proper 1, and the top edges of the ends of the reinforcing strips 3 and 4- are sewed to the other half of the top edge of the lining member 2, the latter being folded upon itself between the net-k strips. The article in the stage of production which we have just described isbcst. illustrated in Fig. 2. Next the lining memher 2 is turned inside out and brought to the position shown by dotted lines X in the same figure, and one halfof the bottom edge is inturned and sewed at 16 to the bottom edge of the neck strip proper 1 which is also inturned. Then the parts are so placed that the reinforcing strips are on one side of the neck strip proper 1 lining, the top edge of which has been sewed to the top edges of the reinforcing

strips

3 and 4, is on the other side of the neck strip proper. In this position the top edges'of the strips are sewed together, the seam 15 avoiding the top edge of the lined end of the neck strip proper. The seam is then deflected downward to join the end edges of all the strips. Next the neck strip proper 1 is folded away from the reinforcing

neck strips

3 and 4 and the band is virtually turned insideout.-- Then the seam 12 is passed along the top edge of the neck-band below the seam which we have just described. The bnttonhole 11 is worked at any convenient point in the process, and the collar may be permanently, attached or buttoned.

In the production of the neck-band, it is within the scope of my invention to first sew one half the top and bottom edges of the lining strip 2 to the corresponding top and bottom edges of the end of the neck strip 1,

see dotted lines in Fig. 1, then turn the tube thus formed inside out, and if desired, to scam the top and bottom edges as at 13 and 14. Then the operation may be continued by sewing the top edge of the other half of the lining member 2 to the top edges of the reinforcing neck strips 3 and eeeding as before;

It will be apparent that the cost of my neck-band produced by either of the methods which I have described, will not be greatly 4, and proin excess of. that of the ordinary neck-band without the pocket, and that the pocket so constructed is not subject to the usual defects of collar button pockets in that it is not easily ripped in opening and is also easily opened.

I have thus described in minute detail a single embodiment of the article of my invention, and have also described two methods by which it may be produced, and have emphasized various details in order that the article which I produce may be clearly understood. However, the specific terms herein are used in their descriptive rather than in their limiting sense, and .the scope of the invention is defined in the claims.

and the portion 2 of the I claimv- 1. A method of making a neck-band end pocket which consistsin sewing one'half of the top edge of a lining member to the. top

edge of the neck strip proper near one. end, sewing the top edge of a reinforcing neck strip to the other half of the same edge of the-lining member, turning the lining member inside out, '5. e., upward about its top edge, and sewing the bottom edge of the first named half of the lining member .to the corresponding bottom edge of the neck strip proper, bringing all the strips into registration, so that the lined end of the neck strip proper is between the reinforcing neck strip and the free portion of the lining, i. 0., that part, the top edge of which is sewed to the reinforcing neck strip, sewing the top edges of the neck strips together avoiding.

the lined portion of the neck strip proper, sewing the end edges together, including the end edges of the lining member, then turning the neck-band thus formed inside out, 2'. e., folding over the neck strips so that they come one on each side of the band with the neck strip proper externally placed.

2. A process of pocket for the stud base which. consists in sewing half the top and bottom edges of a lining member to the top and bottom edges of a neck strip proper, and sewing .the top edges of reinforcing neck strips adjacent their ends to the other half of the top edge of the lining member, bringing all the strips into registration so that the lined end of the neck strip proper is between the reinforcing neck strips and the free portion of the lin- 'ing, 2'. e., that part, the top edge ofwhich is sewed to the reinforcing neck strips, sew-. ing the top edges of all the neck strips together avoiding the top edge of thelined edges of. all the neck strips, including the lining member, together, then swinging the neck strip proper about its top edge away from the reinforcing neck strips, and rotating it through a complete circular are so that the, surfaces of the strips which were previously turned outward are now inward, i. 0., turning the band inside out, and next sewing the top edges of the strips to hold them in this position.
