PROTECTOR-FOR LAUNDRIED SHIRTS, (ALLFI4EXIBLE.)

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 22, 1913.

Application filed August 17, 1912. Serial No. 715,688.

To all whom it may concern.

7 Be it known that I, NATHAN J. GOODMAN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Protectors for Laundried Shirts, (All-Flexible,) of which the following is a specification containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying ,drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates to improvements in protectors for laundried shirts,and the ob ject of my invention is to construct an allflexible protector for laundried shirts in the form of a tube or slip, constructed of a single piece of material which is doubled upon itself and its free margins united only at their central points in order to form the tube or slip having anaextremely wide mouth at both of its ends to facilitate the insertion of the shirt, and to provide the tube or slip with an integral sealing flap in order that it will conform inwidth to the shirt to prevent the shirt from dislodging from the tube or slip.

With the above purposes in view my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more full described, pointed out in the claims and il ustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a p an of the complete protector in an open condition; Fig. 2 is a plan of the protector insa folded and pasted condition to form an open-ended: tube or slip; Fig. 3 is a plan of the rear face of the protector in condition as when used; Fig. 4 is a plan of the front face of thecomplete protector showingthe shirt therein; Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation taken on the line 55 of Fig. 2; and Fig. 6 is a sectional elevation taken on the line 6-6 of Fig. 3.

Referring by numerals to the accompany drawings: 7 designates the backsheet of mg the protector and 8 the front sheet of the protector, whichji's an integral part of the back 7. Formed in the free side margin of the front sheet 8 there is a marginal openin 9 at a goint about the longitudmal center 0 the sai margin. On either side of the opening 9 are the marginal openings 10.

11 designates an adhesive strip; which is.

secured to the front face of the sheet 8, so that (portions of its adhesive face will be expose through the marginal openings 9 article.

the shirt or article which is to be wrapped, andthe width of the front and back is necessarily greater than the width of the shirt or article.

After the device has been formed, as described and shown in Fig. 1, the same is folded, as shown in Fig. 2, and the portion of the adhesive strip 11 throughthe opening 9 is adhesively secured to the margin of the back 7 between the openings 12, thus both of its ends and for a consi length at its free margins in order to erable form a tube or slip having extremely wide mouths introduction of the shirt or After the shirt has been placed 1 to facilitate the within the tube or slip the sealed margins are jointly folded over the back of the acksecured to the back by through the openings 10 and 12.

If onlya temporary scaling is desired one onlyof the last mentioned exposed portions of the strip may be secured to the back 7,

and the remaining ones of the said 0 enings are left in reserve for subsequent sea ings.

Among the advantages resultin from such a shirt protector there are an a l-flexible protector shirt to occupy a minlmum of space, a protector which will adapt itself to shirts of different widths, a protector which may be readily sealed and a protector which will permit of a ready inspection of the shirt without destroying or breaking the package.

I claim:

1. An all-flexible protector -for shirts, comprising a front and back having their margins united throughout their engths e length of the front and back is substantially the length of which is exposed" forming a slip open at permitting of the folding of a age in the form of a flap 13, and the ap is 7 means of the portions of the adhesive strip 11 which is exposed on one side and their opposite margins united at one oint only in order to form an open-ended tube or slip, and means for furt er sealing the margins which are secured only at the one point.

2. An all-flexible shirt protector, .com prising a front and back formed from a single piece of material and folded on a median me, the free margins of which are provided with registering openings, one of said margins being sealing strip secured to the last mentioned margin in position to expose a portion-thereof through said openings;

3. An all-flexible shirt protector, compris-" ing a front and back formed from a single piece of material and folded on a median line, the free margins of which are provided with registering openings, one of said margins being provided with an opening between the last mentioned openings, and a sealing strip secured to the last mentioned margin in positlon to expose a portion thereprovided with an opening b tween the last mentioned openings, and a 7 "each of its ends of through said openings, whereby to form a 15 tube or slip havm a maximum opemng at for the admission of ;:the shirt, and whereby the package may be sealed at one or more points, substantially as shown and for the purposes stated. v

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
