BABY'S Application filed September 15, 1921. Serial No. 500,759.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL M. Mosns, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State of Ore on, have invented anew and Improved Ba ys Nightgown, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates especially to nightv gowns for babies and infants wear and it has for its primary object to provide a gown which will not be liable to come open at the neck and chest and expose the child to drafts and cold.

In the drawings:

Figurel is a perspective view of a night gown embodying my invention, in use.

Figure 2 is a detail perspective v1ew of the upper part of the garment, the same being tied shut at the neck with the flap untied and bent back to show the slit in the body of the garment.

Figure 3 is a detail face view of the garment before the flap is sewed on.

Figure 4 is a detail face view of the flap.

Figure 5 is a pattern view of the body of the garment when out out.

In the drawings in which like numerals and letters of reference indicate like parts in all of the figures, 1 represents the body of the garment, 2 the sleeves and 3 the neck opening.

The body of the garment is made in one piece, forming a back and a front when folded over, and sewn together at the edges, as at 15, in the usual-manner.

The front of the garment is slit down from the neck opening 3 to a point 5, forming a slit 4, and the edges of the neck openin and slit 4 are preferably reinforced by suitable embroidery. as indicated.

Where the upper edges of the slit 4 come together, they are provided with tie tapes 6 and 7 8 is a flap of triangular form, one edge 9 of which is sewed to one edge of the body of the garment along the slit 4 and is projected over and sewed at 10 to the body of the garment below the slit.

The free edges 1111 of the flap 8 preferably form a right angle, and are reinforced by embroidery or the like in the same manner as the edges of the neck opening 3 and slit 4. At the point of the flap the same is provided with a tie tape 12 and the body of the garment at a suitable point 13 is also provided with a tie tape 14 to cooperate with the tape12 to tie the flap over, as shown in Figure 1 of the drawings, thus effectively covering the slit 4.

The bottom of the body of the garment may be provided with the usual draw string 16. as indicated.

In lieu of the tie tapes 6, 7, 12 and 13, buttons or snap fasteners of the usual kind may be employed, as will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art.

By my construction of garment, it will be seen that the infant can be quite fully protected against exposure of the chest by the garment coming open at the neck. Should perchance the fastening 6'6 become loos ened, the fastening 12-13 will be sufiicient to hold the garment closed over the slit.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and advantages of my invention will be clear to those skilled in the art to which it appertains.

What I claim is:

An infants garment comprising a front and a back and sleeves all in one piece and including a neck opening, the said garment front being slit from the neck opening a predetermined distance downwardly, a triangular flap sewed to the garment adjacent one border of the slit thereof and extending the full length of the said slit and being adapted for extending over the said slit. the free portion of said flap substantially constituting a right angle, tie tapes fastened one to each of the two neck points formed by the slit and adapted to be tied to close the top of said slit, a tie tape secured to the point formed by the substantially right angled flap portion, and a tie tape secured to the body of garment at a point adjacent the .slit and on the side opposite that to which the flap is sewed. the latter tie tapes being adapted to be tied to close the slit throughout its length, the said flap extending from that edge of the garment to which it is sewed across below the slit and being sewed at this place to the garment.
