WILLIAM J. MCCLELLAIV, OF ATTLEBORO, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO FREEMAN- DA'UGHADAY 00., OF CHARTLEY, MASSACHUSETTS, A CORPORATION OF MASSA- CHUSETTS.

COLLAR-HOLDER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. MoCLunnan, a citizen of the United States, residing at Attleboro, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in C01- lar-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to collar holders more particularly adapted for engaging the opposite edges of a soft or unstarched collar, to hold them in position about the neck scarf.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved holder of this character preferably formed of one piece of metal, which is simple and inexpensive in construction and whereby the fabric engaged thereby will be gripped and securely held in position.

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detail description is taken in con nection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming part of this specification, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views and wherein Figure 1 is a front view illustrating a collar holder with my improved holder in position thereon.

Fig. 2 is a plan view, illustrating the holder as cut from sheet stock before the gripping arms are folded back from its edges.

Fig. 3 is a view of the under side of the holder showing the two pairs of spaced apart parallel gripping arms.

Fig. 4: is a perspective View of the under side of the holder bar, showing the two pairs of gripping arms.

Fig. 5 is a side elevation of my improved holder.

Fig. 6 is a section on line 66 of Fig. 5.

With reference to the drawings 10 designates the front bar of my improved collar holder on each side of which, and integral with its opposite edges is formed a pair of gripping arms 11, said arms being adapted to extend in opposite directions and each toward its free end of the bar. These arms Specification of Letters Patent.

are'formedintegral with the edges of the bar by cutting the whole from sheet stock, the arms being then folded downwardly or toward the under side of the bar into the position illustrated in Fig. 5, and their free ends 12 are preferably spaced from the adjacent end of the bar sufliciently to form an open mouth 13 to permit the ready entrance of the fabric thereinto, the bar itself being preferably slightly resilient to yield to the entering fabric and cooperate with the arms to bite the goods therebetween.

It will be noted by my improved construction that the arms of each pair lie parallel with each other and are spaced apart thereby providing a double grip at each end of the holder; also by spacing these arms apart the fabric is forced down between them providing a further gripping and holding effect.

By my improved construction the whole device is formed of a single piece of metal by first being cut from sheet stock and then by folding the arms beneath the bar portion. The device is very simple and practical in construction and effective in its operation.

The foregoing description is directed solely toward the construction illustrated, but I desire it to be understood that I reserve the privilege of resorting to all the mechanical changes to which the device is susceptible, the invention being defined and limited only by the terms of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A collar holder comprising a bar having a pair of oppositely extending gripping arms formed integral with and folded downwardly from the side edge of said bar, each arm cooperating with its end of the bar to grip the fabric between them.

2. A collar holder comprising a bar having a pair of oppositely extending gripping arms formed integral with and folded downwardly from the side edge of said bar to set in a plane at right angles to that of said bar, each arm cooperating with its end of the bar to grip the fabric between them.

3. A collar holder comprising a flexible bar having a pair of oppositely extending relatively rigid gripping arms formed integral with and folded downwardly from the side edge of said bar to set in a plane at right angles to that of said bar, each arm cooperating with its end of the bar to grip the fabric between them.

4. A collar holder comprising a bar having a pair of oppositely disposed spaced apart gripping arms formed integrally with and folded downwardly from opposite edges of said bar at each end thereof to set in a plane at right angles to that of said "bar, each pair cooperating with its end of the bar to grip the fabric thereagainst.

5. A collar holder formed of a single piece of resilient sheet stock having a pair of oppositely disposed spaced apart gripping arms formed integrally with and folded downwardly from opposite edges of I wardly relative to said bar to form an entering space to guide the fabric to be gripped between them.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature;

WILLIAM J. MoOLELLAN.
