Description
Patented Nov. 25, 1924.
UNITED STATES DENNIS C. OSHEA, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
GARMEN'I.
Original application filed July 16, 1921, Serial Nc. 485,2?6.
Divided and this application filed August l1, 1.922.
T all whom t may conce/m1,:
Be it known that I, DENNIS C. OSHEA, a citizen of the United Sta-tes, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of .i Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Garments, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to garments and more particularly to garments adapted to be worn by players of football andsimilar sports. This is a divisional application of my application Serial No. 485,270, filed July 16, 1921, and patented April 8, 1924, No. 1,489,784.
One form of garment embodying the features of my invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a View in front elevation` Fig. 2 is a view in plan of one of the reinforcing patches used on the garment, Fig. 3 is a view taken as indicated b y the line 3 of Fig. l, and Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view showing a modified form.
As shown in the drawings, indicates in general a garment, here shown as made of knit material or jersey cloth in the form of a shirt such as is ordinarily worn by athletes and commonly referred to as a jersey.
The back part of the jersey is provided 39 with a downwardly extending tail or liap ll, having buttonholes l2 at its end. The tail 1l is adapted to be folded around between the legs of the wear from the back to the front, so that its end may be buttoned on the buttons 13. The tail or flap 11 when so folded prevents the jersey from being drawn upward on the body of the player and also gives a supporting effect to the wearer.
On the outer surface of the garment are two symmetrically arranged reinforcing patches 20 adapted to cover the sides of the wearer, and each extending around the front and upwardly to cover the sides of the chest. One of these patches removed from the garment is shown in Fig. 2. Each of these patches is cut from a flat piece of nonelastic material in the shape shown in Fig. 2 and has three sectors removed from the edge to provide notches as indicated by 21. ll'hen the patch is applied to the garment, the edges formed bv the removal of the sectors 21 are brought together. By this means the patch 20 is given a certain fullness in its center, allowing it to bulge inwardly against the body of the wearer, as shQwn, in
Cil
Patent No. 1,489,784, dated April 8, 1924.
Serial No. 581,169.
Fig. il. The patches 2() are made of rubberized cloth or any other material having its outer surface tacky, sticky or adhesive. The fullness or bulging of the patch 2O permits it to conform more nearly to the shape of a football or similar object that might be held by the wearer. By this construction, it will be seen that the wearer of the garment is enabled to hold a football or similar object tightly against one of the patches 20 very securely. When so held. the bulging of the patch makes it Contact over a large part of its area with the ball, and its tacky or sticky surface makes it temporary adhere to the ball; so that the ball can be dislodged from the wearer-s grasp only with great diiiic-ulty. Fach of the patches 20 is preferably attached to the garment by sewing around its edge. If desired, it may be attached by pasting; and it may be additionally secured by pasting or otherwise fastening the entire area of the body of the garment itself, if desired. The garment itself being made of jersey cloth or other elastic or stretchy material, permits the bulging or curvature of the patches as described above.
In Fig. 4` I have shown a modified form in which the patch is attached to the jersey in a different manner. I have here indicated the body of the jersey by 10 and the patch by 20. This patch is cut from a flat piece of non-elastic material in the same shape as the patch 2() shown in connection with the preferred form. When the patch is applied to the garment, however, the edges of the notches caused by the removal of the sectors 2l', are not brought together as they are in the preferred form but are left open. By this construction, the danger of having the patch rip at the edges is considera-bly lessened; since the jersey cloth lying within the sectors when the patch is attached will permit a certain amount of stretching of the edge of the patch and without starting a rip,
While I have shown and described certain embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that it is capable of many modifications. Changes, therefore, in the construction and arrangement may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as disclosed in the appended claims, in which it is my intention to claim all novelty inherent in my invention as broadly as possible in view of the prior art.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
l. A shirt having a portion provided with a permanent` outer, tacky surface adjacent an arm of the shirt for adhesion with a ball held by the wearer.
2. A shirt of elastic material having a patch disposed against its outer surface havingnotches in its margin, the edges of said notches being' brought together to cause an inward bulging of the patch to adapt it to the shape of a ball or the like held against the patch. Y
3. A shirt having a patch on its outer surface, the patch comprising` an off-set portion disposed under an arm of the shirt, the main portion of the patch extending f`orward from said olf-set portion to a height above said off-set portion and having the marginal edge thereof notched to lfacilitate inward bulging to adapt it to the shape of a ball or the like held against the patch.
4. A shirt having a patch on its outer surface, the patch comprising a portion disposed under an arm ofthe shirt and a portion of flexible material extending forwardly from and partly above the first mentioned Y portion, the second mentioned portion hav ing a permanent tacky outer surface for adhesion with a ball held by the wearer.
`Witness my hand and seal this 21 day of June, 1922.
