SOFT FOLD-COLLAR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 13, 1921.
Application filedlarch 4', 1918. Serial No. 220,119.
To all UP/LOWu if may concern:
Be itknown that l, ir-manor: T. VmoHr, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Troy, county of li-ensselaer, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Soft Fold-Collars, of which the Following is a specification.
Reference may be had to the accompanying drawings, and the reference characters marked thereon, \lllCll form a part of thls specification. Similar characters refer to similar parts in the several figures therein.
This invention relates to various kinds of collars having certain members which are to be worn soft or not stitily starched.
The principal objects of the invention are to provide simple and easily applied means, whereby such a soft member of the collar may be held in proper position in use; to provide means whereby such a soft member of the collar can be supported in different forms at (.lifi'erent times at thewill of the user, and to provide a common means for supporting such a soft member of the collar and at the same time connecting it with. an adjacent member of the collar.
Other objects will appear in connection with the following description.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a. front view in perspective of asoft fold collar embodying my Invention. 1
' Fig. 2' is a crossfsection of the same taken on the broken line 2-2 in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a plan 'view of a broken-away end-portion of the collar with the top opened out flat.
Fig. 4 is a view of the stiffening member.
Referring. to the drawings wherein the invention is shown in preferred form, 1 is the band, and 2 the folded-over soft fohLeoIlar.
I have shown the band formed of an inner facing-ply, 3, and an outer facing-ply, 4, and the top formed of an inner facing-ply, 5, and anouter facingply, 6. I
The hand and the folded-over top -may' he made in the usual manner ofas many plies as desired,
, The hand may be provided with the usual buttonholes. 7, whereby the band may he atpliahle two-pron tached by means of buttons or studs to theneekband of a shirt, not shown.
For the purpose of the present description, it will be understood thatrthe foldedtop, of a .bers and over top of the collar is soft or unstarehml. The band also may be soft or unstarehed.
In carrying out my invention, I form a hole, 8, in the inner facing-ply of the top. 2. and insert through said hole the legs, 9. of a two-pronged stiffening-member and spread said legs or prongs between the plies of the top, 2, thereby providing the top with a supporting means whereby it can be held in proper form in use.
This stiffening-member is preferably provided with a head, 10, which is not insertet l through the hole, 8, but serves as ameans for retaining the spread-apart prongs, S), in proper position.
The head, 10, is in the form of a button, and is adapted to engage a buttonhole, 11, formed in the band, 1, and to thereby hold the folded-over top of the collar closely to the band in use.
I have shown the huttonhole, ll, formed through only the outer facing-ply, 4, of the band, but for certain purposes of the in-' vention it is immaterial whether it be so formed or be formed through all the plies of the band. By forming the buttonhole, 11, as shown, the head, 10, of the stifl'eningmember is prevented by the inner facingply, 3, of the band from coming into contact with the neck of the wearer.
For certain purposes of the invention. the stiffening-member,9, may be made of either resilient metal or pliable metal. If made of resilient metal, its normal form will be with the legs or prongs spread apart, as shown in Fig; 2, and as indicated by dotted l nes in Fig. 4, the prongs being held together so that their ends may be inmitted to spread apart to their normal extended or separated posit-ion as the stifl'eir ing-member is pushed in between the p ies.
I prefer, however, to make the stiffeningr'nemher of pliable material such as soft brass or the like, whereby the prongs, 9, can be readily bent to hold the part of the collar containing the stiffening-member in such form as the wearer may desire. Thus the pointed ends of the folded-over top may be not only stiffened by a stiffeningmember applied as above described, but the form and sition of the pointed ends may be ehangeti by the user by simply bending the pliable mugs of the stiffcning-mem have shown at the left-hand side of Fig.1, the pointed end of the top supported in this manner in a slightly curved upturned form.
The preferred Construction shown and de- 5 scribed enables me to employ a common means for both stiffening the end of the folded-over top, and for securing said end' naoaeso top, said pro What I claim" as new and desire'to se-- 1. The" combination with a wfold-collar having a band and a soft folded-over tap,
of supporting members iorthe ends of e v ,one end of the top, of a supporting member "folded-over top, said supporting members being made of inelastic material relatively stifi as compared with the material of which Zinfdabrid one of'the-facing-plies of which %the folded-over' top is made, and suiiiciently 'ipliable to be readily bent to desired shape. "a; 2. ,The combination with a collar having a soft member formed of a plurality of plies -.is provided with 'a hole; a two-pronge E'SHP'pOrting member;' the prongs Of WlHCl fare insertible through said hole and spread between the plies of said 'memher, said prongs being substantially inalinement with 1- leash other. 1- v ,EL The combination with $15 innerfacingsply ofgwhich' is provided with ahole nearoneend ofthetop, of a two- 1 pronged supportin member, the prongs of I a iold collar '-ihavinga hand, and'iasoft folded-over top a formedofa plurality of plies offabric, the
being substantially in salinement with eac other."
4; The combination with a fold-collar having a hand provided with a buttonhole, and a soft folded-lover top formed or a plurality of plies of fabric, the inner facingply of which is provided'with a hole near one end ofthe top, of a supporting member insertible through said hole in the top between the plies oi the top, and having 'a button-head adapted to engage said buttonhole in the hand of the collar,
5. The combination, with a fold-collar having a band provided with a 'huttonhcle, and a soft folded-over top formed of a plurality of plies of fabric, the inner facingply of which is provided with a hole near insertihle through said hole in the top bestifi :as compared with the material of which the folded-over top is made and suifieiently pliable to be readily bentto desired shape,
,and having a 'hntton-headjaadapted toengage said-lbuttonhole in the band.
6. The combination with aflcollarhaving a member provided with a buttonh'ole and an adjacent soft. member formed of a plur-ality of lies-of fabri the inner facingplyof which is-providedwit-ha hole, of a stiffening-member insertible through said -hole' between said plies and having aproj ecting head engageable with theihuttonhole in said first mentioned member. 5
