TROUSERS-PRESS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 11 1,1915.
Application filed June 5, 1915. Serial no. 32,360.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL R. COHN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Trousers-Presses, of
which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to devices for holding pressed trousers in shape while hung in a closet, or stored in a suit case or trunk, and it is an improvement over the structure disclosed in Patent No. 1112922.
The present invention has for its object to provide a novel and improved device of the kind stated which will be more eflicient in retaining the garment in shape, and to this end the invention consists in a combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed.
In order that the invention may be better understood, reference is had to the accom panying drawing in which- Figure l is a plan view of the device unfolded; Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device folded; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the device partly folded and applied to the garment, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a fastener employed in connection with the device.
Referring specifically to the drawing, the device comprises a sheet of heavy card board or similar light and stiff material. The sheet is divided by a central longitudinal crease 5, into two similar sections 6 and 7, respectively, which are foldable on each other. The section 6 has a short integral flap 8 at its outer edge. At the junction of the flap 8 with the section 6 is a crease 9 to enable the flap to be readily folded between the sections 6 and 7. The shape of the sections 6 and 7 corresponds to the shape of a trouser leg, and they are provided with a transverse crease 10 corresponding to the position of the knee portion of the trouser leg.
To apply the device the garment is folded and laid flat on the section 6, with the waist portion far enough above the top edge of the section to enable the flap 8 to be folded over the section 6 and between the trouser legs at the crotch after which the section 7 is folded over the flap. The garment is now located between the sec tions 6 and 7 and the flap 8 extends between the trouser legs at the crotch. The flap serves to keep the crotch portion of the garment fiat and inproper shape, and also acts an additional support for the garment when it is hung or placed in a vertical position. The top edge of the flap has a concave curvature to fit snugly under the crotch.
At the top of the sections 6 and 7, and adjacent to the crease or line of fold 5, is a recess 11, and the free end of the flap 8 has a top tongue 12 adapted to be tucked into this recess after the flap is folded over under the crotch, as hereinbefore described, whereby it is securely held in this position. The flap is slightly longer than the section 6 for the purpose of assuring a positive lock of the tongue, and the latter being long enough to protrude from the recess 11 as shown in Fig. 2.
The meeting edges of the sections 6 and 7 are held together by fasteners 13 carried by the section 7. Each of these fasteners comprises a shank having at its outer end a side hook which is slipped over the edges of the sections, the shank being pivoted to the section 7 so that the hook may be applied and removed. These fasteners may be carried by both sections and applied whenever necessary, and they securely hold the sections in folded position.
The folded sections 6 and 7, with the garment therebetween, may be further folded on the lines 10, and the protruding waist portion of the garment tucked in between the folded parts, when the garment is to be shipped or stored in a trunk or box.
The shape of the top edge of the flap 8 makes the latter higher at its ends, which serves to keep the garment straight and in the center of the device, and the locking tongue 12 effectually prevents the flap from sagging under the weight of the garment.
The device provides a simple and efficient press for the purpose stated, and it can be easily and cheaply manufactured.
I claim 1. A trousers press comprising opposite foldable sections, and a crotch-engaging flap at the outer edge of one of the sections and foldable inward between the sections.
2. A trousers press comprising opposite foldable sections, and a crotch-engaging flap on one of the sections and foldable inward between the sections.
3. A trousers press comprising opposite foldable sections, and a crotch-engaging flap on one of the sections and foldable between the sections, the flap at its top edge'being higher at its endsthan intermediate said ends.
4. A trousers press comprising opposite foldable sections, acrotch-engaging flap on one of the sections and foidable between the sections, and a locking tongue at the free end of the flap, one of the sections having a recess to receive and hold the tongue.
5. A trousers press comprising opposite foldable sections, a crotch-engaging flap on one of the sections and foldable between the sections and fasteners engageable over the meeting edges of the folded sections, said fasteners being pivoted to one of the sections.
' In testimony whereof I afiix my signature CHARLES Conn, H. G. BATCHELOR.
Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents.
