ADJUSTABLE SHIRT-SLEEVE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 27, 1914.
Application filed February 27, 1912. Serial No. 680,248.
To a7! 107mm t may concern.'
Be it known that I, LOUIS BAUER, a citi- Zen of the United States of America., residing in New York, in the borough of the Bronx. county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Shirt-Sleeves, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improvement in devices for adjusting the length of sleeves of shirts, shirt-waists, boys waists and similar garments, whereby the length of the sleeve may be shortened at will, either for baring the arms in the summertime or for drawing back the cuft's sutticiently out of the way for greater freedom in working, or washing the hands, etc., the adjusting of the sleeves being accomplished in such a way that the folds formed in the sleeves are not objectionable to the sight when the coat is removed while the adjusting-means themselves are applied to the sleeves at a comparatively small expense, so as to increase the usefulness of the shirt without increasing the cost of the same.
In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts, Figure 1 represents a frontwrth my improved sleeveshortening device, one sleeve being shown with the fasteners in disconnected position and the other sleeve with the fasteners connected with each other for shortening the sleeve, Fig. 2 is a front-view of the sleeve shown with the cuff in raised position so as to bare the arm, and Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are respectively a horizontal section, on line 3 3, Fig. l, a vertical sect-ion on line 4-4, Fig. 1, and a horizontal section on line 5-5, Fig. 2.
Referring to the drawings, a represents the sleeve of a shirt, shirt-waist or other garment. To the upper portion of each sleeve at some distance below the shoulder of the shirt is a plied a plurality of ballmembers b, pre erabl three of the usual garment fasteners, wliich are so arranged that two of them are laced in front and one at the back of the sleeve, but all at about the same distance from the shoulder of the shirt. At some distance below ythe ballmembers the sleeve a is provided with the socket-members d' of the garment-fasteners, which. are laterally at the same distance from each other as the ball-members so that the sleeve can be readily folded between the members of the garment-fasteners and the socket-members connected with the ballmembers whereby the length of the sleeve is shortened the distance between the ball and socket-members of the fasteners and the sleeves are brought higher up on the arms so as not to interfere with the free motion of the hands in working or when washing the hands, the cuffs being thereby drawn sufliciently out of the way so as to prevent their soiling while washing. By folding the sleeve in upward direction and connecting it at a plurality of points, an even fold or bight is formed between the fasteners which renders the shortened sleeves not objectionable to the sight. The ball and socket-members of the fasteners are sewed on to the sleeve or applied thereto by machine in the usual manner, which is quickly accomplished, preferably before the sleeves are sewed on to the shoulders of the shirt. In thin fabrics, such as shirt-waists, it is preferable to use an underlay, but for stronger fabrics, such as bosom-shirts and the like, such an underlay is not required, as there is no strain exerted on the fasteners when the sleeves are in their shortened or adjusted position,
W'hen it is desired to bare the arms, especially in the summer-time, which is a habit with many persons, the entire sleeve is reversed and folded upward and attached to the upper ball-members b of the garmentfasteners by means' of'one or more socketmembers e which are applied to the inner edge of the wrist-band or cutl" e of the sleeve. The cuff and lower part of the sleeve bein split or open as usual, the sleeve can be reversed while on the arm and the cuff in reversed position can be slid laterally over the sleeve and made to embrace it as shown in Fig. 2. This shortens the sleeve to nearly one-half of its length` and permits the barin of the arms While holding the wrist-ban or cuil' in position on the upper portion of thesleeve.
It is not intended to limit the application of t-he sleeve-adjusting device to any particular arment, though it is preferably used wit shirts of all kinds, as by my improved sleeve-adjuster the objectionable elastics and other devices heretofore used can be dispensed with. Owing to the cheapness of the ball and socket-fasteners shirts can be supplied with the sleeve-adjuster without increasing the price of the same,
while the adjusting device has-the advantage of keeping the cutis clean during work or of permitting the baring of the arms in warm weather.
It is obvious that in place of arranging the ball-members of the fasteners in an upper row and the socket-members in a lower row,and on the cuii,the position of the members may be changed and the socket-members placed in the upper position on the sleeve and the ball-members below the same and on the cutf.
I claim:
An adjustable cuiedshirt sleeve adapted to be shortened in normal position of the cuff or further shortened in reversed position thereof comprisin a sleeve and split cui in one structure, t e sleeve being provided above the elbow with an outwardly facing tener, below the elbow' with a complementary member of said fastener also facing outward, said members being adapted to engage after a transverse fold between them, and the split cuff being adapted to surround in outturned reversed position the upper portion of the sleeve and being provided on its outer normal face with a fastener member also complementary to said member above the elbow.
In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
