sAn'IE n. KALrus, OF'BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA.

1 0 all whom "it may concern Be it known thatl, SAuin E. Kanrus, a citizen' of the United States, andaresident of Berkeley, county of Alameda, and State of Californim.have invented a certain new and useful Reversible Gulf, of which the that form of cuff of my invention which I have selected for illustration in the drawings accompanying and forming part of the present specification.

Referring to said drawings:

Figure 1. is a perspective view of the cuff" of my invention in extended position, a part thereof being broken away to disclose the construction.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the cuff in its first position.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the cuff in its second position.

Fig. 4 is a perspective View of the cuff in its third position.

.he cuff of my invention is composed of three members, each of which, at different times, serves as the wearing surface. '1 he members are soft and pliable so that they may be readily folded over to present the, desired wearing surface. The member 2, which constitutes the wrist band, is preferably provided with a lining 3 interposed between the inner and outer faces 4 and 5. The lining: is stitched to the material of the inner face by the lines of edge stitching 6 and the line of cross stitching 7. T he line of stitching" 7 lies below the line of fold of the cuff and extends only through the lining and the material of the inner face, so that the stitching is not visible at the fold or at the outside surface 5 of the band. The lines of edge stitching 6 terminate a short distance from the line of fold, for

reasons that will be hereinafter apparent.

Specification of Letters Patent.

\ REVERSIBLE corn.

'1 The material forming the inner surface i of the'band extends beyond the'fold a distance, preferably somewhat less than the width of the band, and the material forming the o'utersurface 5 is similarly extended. Thev extension 8 of the inner piece is then folded back on the line of the fold and piece of material, of the same size as the two extended pieces is laid over and stitched to the extended pieces by the edge stitching 12, the stitching terminating a short distance from the line of fold, So that the band will not be sewn'to the extended portions. These extended portions form the fold cuffs 1 l15 and may be folded to lie on either side ;of the wrist band. The cuff 14% is provided adjacent the opposite edges with button holes 16 for the reception of a cuffbutton and the cult l5 and band 2 are similarly provided with button holes 1'Z 18, the bllttOHd10l8S 16-1718 on both sides of the cuffs and bands being equally spaced from the line of fold, so that when the cuff is folded and the edges brought together, the six button-holes will register. The band 2 is preferably made wider than either of the cuffs 14l5, so that when. the cuff is laid out for ironing, the seam between the band and the shirt sleeve 19 will not underlie and produce a ridge on the fold cuff members.

The cull presents three wearing surfaces, and may be readily folded to present any desired surface. When first worn, both cuff members 14 and 15 folded to overlie the band, as shown in Fig. 2, end ll then presenting the wearing surface. When this surface becomes soiled, the cuff member 14.

-is folded to lie within the band as shown in Fig. 3, and cuff 15 presents the wearing: surface. When this becomes soiled, the cult member 15 is folded to lie within the band as shown in 4, and the outer surface 5 of the band 2 then becomes the wearing surface. The button-holes register in all p0sitions of the cuff members and the cuff offers a presentable appearance at all times. The two layers of fabric which form the cuff members 14: and 15 are sewed together only at the edges so that no stitching occurs along the fold nor adjacent-the fold on any of the wearing surfaces.

I claim:

1. The combination with a shirt sleeve, of a wrist band permanently attached thereto, two flexiblecuii members extending from the outer end of said wrist band, each of Patented Mar. 19, 1918. dipplicationiiled October 1917; Serial No. 198.485.

. outer layer of fabric permanently attached thereto, integral extensions of said layers rejecting beyond the end of said band, .L ayer of fabri overlying said extensions and stitched thereto at the edges only, forming two separate flexible cuff members each of which is adapted to be folded inwardly or outwardly on the wrist band, a button-hole adjacent each edge of each cuil member at the same distance from the end of the wrist band, and a button-hole adjacent each edge of the wrist band at the same distance from the end of the band as the button-holes in the cull members.

3. The combination with a shirt sleeve of a Wrist band composed of an inner and outer fabric and an interposed lining, a line of stitching securing the inner fabric only. to the lining adjacent the outer end of the wristband, integral extensions of said layers projecting beyond the outer edge of the band, a layer of fabric overlying said extensions and secured thereto at the edges only by stitching, forming two separate flexible cufi' members adapted to be folded bac on either or both sides of the wrist band, the lines of stitching being arranged so that the stitching does not occur on the outside of the cufi adjacent the fold in any position of the and members and button holes in said cuff members and wrist band.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at San Francisco, California, this 8th day of October, 1917.

SADIE E. KALFUS.
