* UNITED STATES CORNELIUS L. SHADER, OF GREEN ISLAND, AND JOHN E. FALLE, OF TROY, NEW YOR PATENT; OFFICE.

SHIRT-NECKBAND.

Specification of Letters latent.

Application filed July 16, 1920. Serial No. 396,753.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, CoRNELrUs L. SHADER and JOHN E. FALLE, citizens of the United States, and residents of Green Island, in the county of Albany and State of stitched thereto can not become readily ri ped at its ends.

*urther; the invention embodies a neckband which is formed from a single blank folded in such a manner as to produce a neck-band and may be manufactured with a saving of material and labor.

It is a further purpose of the invention to provide a neck-band which when starched and ironed will not cause the plies of the same to adhere but which will space the plies at a point where the rear collar but ton is inserted so as to facilitate the engagement of the collar button therewith.

With the preceding and other objects as become apparent from the following disclosure the invention consists in the blank follded and stitched in a manner to be hereinafter specified and illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein,

Figure 1 is an elevation of the blank from which the neck-band is formed;

Fig. 2 is an elevation of the blank after it is folded longitudinally at its center;

Fig. 3 is a similar view of the blank.- after the second folding operation;

Fig. l is an elevation of the blank folded on the broken line shown in Fig. 3 and the tongue thereof being inserted in the slot in the body of the blank;

Fig. 5 is an elevation of the blank after the same has been completely folded in the manner disclosed in Fig. 4;

Fig. 6 is an elevation of the blank folded on the broken line shown in Fig. 5;

Fig. 7 is an elevation of the completed neck band after the same has been stitched;

F1g. 8 is an enlarged transverse sectional viewtaken on line 8 8 of Fig. 2;

F1g. 9 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken on line 99 of Fig. 3;

Flg. 10 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken on line 10'10 of Fig. 5;

F1g. 11 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken on line 1l -1l of Fig. 6; and

F1g. 12 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken on line 12-12 of Fig. 7.

Referring in detail to the drawings, wherein like characters designate like parts throughout the several views, the numeral 5' designates an elongated blank of fabric from which the neck-band is fashioned and is formed'with a substantially rectangular tongue 6, at one of its longitudinal edges. centrally of its ends.

In fashioning thev neck band the blank 5 is folded upon its longitudinal center along the broken line 7 as illustrated in Fig. 2. The blank is then creased adjacent one of its longitudinal edges along the dotted line 8 to assume the position indicated inF ig. 3. The opposite longitudinal edge of the blank is folded upon itself along the line 9 and the tongue 6 folded along the longitudinal line 6 and inserted through the longitudinal slot 10 formed in the blank 5 at its center. This manner of folding the blank affords a pair of parallel plies of double thickness and between which the neck of the shirt is positioned for stitching thereto. After the blank has been folded in this manner to afford the superposed parallel plies the free longitudinal edges of the same and its opposite transverse ends are folded inwardly to aflord a marginal beading 11 which serves to lock the folded parts together as disclosed in Fig. 5. After this operation the blank is folded longitudinally along the longitudinal center line desigone of the plies engaged beneath the longitudinal bead formed upon the free edge of that ply'carrying the tongue 8, these parts being then hemmed alon the beaded edge as indicated at 13 in Fig. 7 securing the nated at 12 and the-longitudinal bead of point where the rear collar button will be positioned, thus the operator may readily separate the plies at either side of the tongue for the insertion of the collar button. Moreover this tongue serves as a pad for this collar button to prevent the same from pressing against the wearers neck.

The shirt-neck indicated at 14 is inserted between the plies of the neck-band and these plies stitched along their free edges to the opposite ends of the tongue 8 from which points the shirt-neck is stitched directly to the tongue.

It is to be understood that the form of our invention herein shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure and protect by Letters Patent of the United States, is:

l. A neck-band for shirts including a blank folded longitudinally to afford a pair of plies for the reception of the neck of the shirt, the blank being provided with a longitudinal slot centrally of its ends, and a tongue carried by one edge of the blank and insertible through the slot to space the plies at one point.

2. A neck-band for shirts including a blank folded longitudinally to afford a pair of plies for the reception of the neck of the shirt, the blank being provided with a longitudinal slot centrally of its ends, a tongue carried by one edge of the blank and insert ible through the slot to space the plies at one point, the free marginal edges. and the ends thereof being formed with a bead, the head of one ply being positioned behind the bead of the other and the parts stitched along such beads.

3. As an article of manufacture, an elon; gated fabric blank formed with an outstanding tongue at one of its longitudinal edges and further provided with a longitudinal slot in transverse alinelnent therewith, the blank being folded longitudinally adjacent its opposite longitudinal edges to afford a pair of plies of double thickness, and a tongue folded upon itself and inserted through the slot to dispose the tongue between the plies, the plies being formed with longitudinal beads at its free longitudinal edges and at its transverse ends and the bead of one ply engaged behind the bead of the other ply, and said beads stitched together, a shirt-neck inserted between the plies and the latter stitched at their free edges to the opposite ends of the tongue from which points the shirt-neck is stitched to the tongue, the latter spacing the plies at this point and also serving as a pad.

CORNELIUS L. SHADER. JOHN E. FALLE.
