GARMENT.
Application filed-"April 2s, 1923. Serial No. 634,825.
To all whom it may concern Be it knownthat I, A ELIA P. DUTTON, Jr, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Garments, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. 7 r
The present day styles in womens garments, particularly waists, blouses, and dresses of various kinds, demand sleeves of a long and loose design, or sleeves having 7 trimmings of a trailing or pendant nature,
and it has been found by experience that although such sleeves are attractive in ap pearance, they possess, from a practical standpoint, disadvantages, in that they are constantly dragging over objects which they encounter upon movement of the wearers arms thereby becoming a cause of annoyance and irritation.
This dragging of the sleeves is particularly annoying during the playing of card and other games in that it tends to disarrange the cards or other game'pieces.
The object of my invention is to provide a garment sleeve, which, while possessing all ofthe length and looseness demanded by the styles, is, nevertheless, capable of being shortened temporarily during the performance of various acts, such. as the playing of games, without in any way detracting from its stylish appearance; this shortening tend-.
ing to enhance the comfort and convenience of the wearer. V
To this end' the invention consists in a body garment having sleeves adapted to be turned back or doubled upon themselves, and cooperating means on the sleeves and on an adjacent portion of the garment for maintaining the sleeves in Such turnedback position, as I will proceed now to explain and finally claim.
In the accompanying drawings illustrating the invention, in the several figures of which like parts are similarly designated, Figure 1 is aview of. a blouse having sleeves embodying my invention, one of same being turned back. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view of one sleeve in full length position. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but showing the sleeve turned back.
.The garment illustrated is of more or less' sleeves Qhavin-g loose or. flowing ends 3 slit or vented as at 4. V
lVhen the sleeves are in the position illustrated at the left of Fig. 1 and in Fig. 2, they fall approximately to the wrist of the wearer in graceful flowing lines or drape, but when in this position they have the disadvantage, above mentioned, of dragging over objects, to the annoyance and inconvenience of the wearer.
To avoid this inconvenience the sleeves may be turned back or doubled upon themselves, as shown at the right of Fig. 1 and in Fig. 3, and held in such position by cooperating means on the sleeve and shoulder. such as a loop 5 and button or the like 6,respectively. l/Vhen in this position the end'zof the slit or vent 4 lies under the armpit of the wearer and the lower edge 8 of the sleeve drapes gracefully over her upper arm, as shown, the sleeve being in this manner shortened to approximately elbow length, and so retained.
As above pointed out, the blouse illustrated is of conventional Chinese design, and this effect is enhanced by a trimming of braid 9 and Chinese beads or tokens 10, and the members 6 also may be Chinese beads.
The beauty of the garment may be enhanced by a contrasting of colors, when the sleeves are turned back, by providing a sleeve lining of a color different from that of the sleeve itself; and the loop 5 may be supplemented by a decorative arrangement of braid, as shown at 11.
It will thus be seen that I provide a gar- Inent well suited to the purpose for which it is designed, and withal sacrificing nothing of beauty to utility.
Obviously, in garments of a type or style with which the use of buttons or beads and loops at 6 and 5, respectively, would be incongruous or unsightly, snap fasteners or other so-called invisible fastening devices might be substituted therefor; and other changes might be made in the style and formation of the garment without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the following claims.
7 lVhat I claim is 2- 1. In a body garment, a sleeve adapted to be turned back upon itself, and cooperating means located adjacent to the lower edge of said sleeve and on the shoulder portion of said garment respectively for maintaining said sleeve in turned-back position, the lower portion of said sleeve when turned back sition, said vents' adapted to underlie the V draping over the ripper arm of the wearer. armpits of the Wearerand permit the lower". 2. In. a body garment, sleeves provided portion of the sleeves to, drape over the. with vents at their lower portions and upper arm. 7 p 5 adapted to be turned back upon themselves, In testimony whereof I have hereunto set 1 V "and cooperating fastening means on the my hand this 26th day of April; A.
