IMPROVEMENT IN REVERSIBLE CUFFS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 137,907, dated April 15, 1873; application tiled December 18, 1872.
To all whom 'it may concern: y
Be it known that I, LAVINIA H. FOY, of the city and county of N ew Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Reversible or other Cuffs 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the plied to a holding-button upon an extended' Wristband. Fig. 2 represents a side view of a section of `,a cui made in a somewhat different manner, but still embracing my said improvements. Fig. 3 represents a section on the line A B, Fig. 2; and Figs. 4 and 5 represent side views of other modifications of the cuit'.
To enable those skilled in the art to which my invention belongs to make and use the same, I will proceed to describe it in detail.
In the drawing, Fig. 1, the edges a a of the reversible or other cuff A are made to button together in the usual manner, but upon one side of the cuff a long slit or opening, b, is made, through which the holding-button ois passed, when the cuffl is turned to one side, thus bringing the button to one end of the slot or opening b, as fully shown in the drawing.
It will be seen that, owing to the length of the slot l, the culi'` can be easily buttoned to the Wristband shown in dotted lines, Fig. l, while, when the cuff is turned to the position shown, the button is not liable to slip through the opening, while the cud' is held in the desired position upon the wrist. The cuff is shown as it appears when applied to the left Wrist.
When the same cuff' is to be reversed, then it must be applied to the right wrist, 'where it will occupythe samerelative position, as shown in Fig. l. In other words, slit or opening b is made as shown in Fig. 1, must be changed from one wrist to the other when the cuffs are reversed. The same prin ciple of slots may be applied, as shownin Figs. 2, 4, and 5, whereby the same culi" can be worn in both positions upon the same wrist. y
In Fig. 2 a single central slot, b, is used, the
. sides of the slot being connected in the center the cuff, when the by a metal or other suitable fastening, d. In this case the holding-button c rests against the fastening d on one side when one end of the cuff is exposed, while, when the culi is reversed and worn upon the same wrist, the holding-button c rests against the other side of the fastening d. y
In Fig. 4 the same general results are pro duced, the only difference being that the sides of the slot are fastened in a different manner, a thread being used and applied to give an ornamental appearance, as shown at @,while the louter ends of the slot are formed wider than at the center, or wedge-shaped. By this form of slot the button o can be easily passed through the wide part f, while, when the cuff is turned to bring the button close to the fastening d, the sides of the slot clamp the threads by which the button is sewed to the Wristband, and thus the cud is retained securely in place. The wedged-shaped slot may be used when a single slot is used for the holding-button.
ln Fig. 5 two slots, b b, are shown in the cuff, the slots being formed out of line with each other. In this form of construction the cuff can be worn in both positions upon the same wrist, one slot being used when one end of the cuff is exposed, and vice versa.
It will be understood that the culi' is turned in both cases, so that the inner ends of the slots rest against the button-fastening when adjusted for use.
The cus may be made from linen or other suitable cloth, or from paper or other suitable materials turers.
It will be seen that my improved reversible or other cud' is simple in construction, while, at the same time, it can be easily buttoned upon and taken ofi of thewrist, while, at the same time, the slots or Openings render the cuff more yielding and easy of lit when in use.
The ends ofthe slots b may be made round ing where the button rests, similar to a button= hole in a coat. i
The practical merits and value of my ins/en tion are greatly increased by reason of the fact that my said improvements in cuii's are equally applicable to cuiis which are made not to reverse as well as those that are so made. For
instance, a very cheap and yet beautiful not as may be preferred by the man ufacA reversible cuff, having my invention applied thereto, may be made, the upper orfront end being of linen, while the other part, which is covered by the dress or coat sleeve, is made of cotton or other cheap material.
Having describedV my improved reversible or other cuff, what I claim therein as new and of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A reversible cuff, provided or made with one or more elongated slots or openings, b, for the insertion ofthe button, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. The combination, with a reversible or other cu, of a wedged-shapedslot, for the insertion of the button, as and for the purposes set forth.
3. The combination, with a reversible culi',
of a slot, b, for the insertion of the button, the edges of whichare united in or near the center, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
4. The combination, with a reversible cuff,
of a slot, b, for the insertion of the button, the edges of which are united or connected at the center y to form two wedged-shaped sections, substantially as shown in Fig. 4 of the accompanying drawing.
5. The combination, with a reversible cuff, of two slots, b b, for the insertion of the button, relatively arranged as shown in Fig. 5 of the accompanying drawing.
