UNITED STATES WILLIAM F. SMITH, OF EVANSTON, ILLINOIS.
*- L CUFF.
Application filed September 2, 1924.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, TILLIAM F. SMrrH, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Evanston, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful l:lnproven'ient in Cuffs, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to garments and especially mens apparel. The main objects of the invention are to provide an. improved form of cuff; to provide for increasing both the life of the shirt and the period of clean appearance; to provide protective means on a cult to prevent wear and soiling by contact with the wrist; to provide a shield member on the inside of the cuff adapted to hold the main body of the cuff spaced away from the wrist; and to provide a cuff shield adapted to absorb within itself the moisture and body salts from the adjacent skin of the wearer and so prevent staining the main cuff body.
An illustrative embodiment of this invention is shown by the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a sleeve and cutf en'ibodying this invention.
Fig. 2 is anotherperspective view showing the cuff in place on the wrist, but unbuttoned to show the construction.
F 3 is a fragn'ientary view of one end of the cuff showing the inner side.
F 4: is a section on a larger scale, about full size, on the line 4t i of Fig. 3.
In the construction shown in the drawings, the shirt sleeve has a cuff 1 permanently secured thereto as by sewing, the style here represented being known as the French cull. A shield member 2 is secured to the inside of the cult adjacent to its outer edge, but spaced inward slightly therefrom, so as not to he noticeable when worn. This shield consists of a long narrow strip sewed to the inner fold I} of the cult, as by three parallel. seams at t, 5 and (3 respectively, with the outer edge part. 7. about an eighth of an inch, projecting free so as to stand out somewhat for eti'ectually spacing the cutl body from the hand or wrist of the wearer. The outer edge of the flap part 7 is preferably Serial NO. 735,434.
about an eighth of an inch inward from the outer fold edge 8 of the cuff.
The shield 2 may be of similar material as the cuff 1 and is preferably so made. The inner edge of the shield 2 comes just below the button-hole 10. The ends of the shield come about an eighth of an inch short of the cuff length at each end, as at 11. The shield may give a somewhat thickened and padded effect by folding the material upon itself as will be understood.
The edge of the end is thus saved from contact with the wrist and hence wear is avoided at the point where shirts usually fail first. Moreover, the edge of the cult is where a shirt usually shows soiling first, but said shield protects it from picking up the body moisture, salts and grime from the wrist. By this means the foregoing purposes are accomplished.
Although but one specific embodiment of this invention has been herein shown and described, it will be understood that some of the details of the construction shown may be altered 01' omitted without depart:- ing from the spirit of this invention as defined by the following claims.
I claim:
1. A cuff having a shield on its inner side adjacent to its outer edge but somewhat short thereof and with the outer edgeof said shield flared away from the body of the cuff.
2. A cuff having adjacent to its outer edge a long narrow strip, the back part of which is secured snugly throughout its length to the cuff body and the front edge being free to insure effective spacing sufficient to prevent wear and soiling of the vcuff edge by contact with the wrist or hand of the wearer.
3. A shirt cull having attached to its inner side adjacent to its outer edge, in
slightly spaced relation thereto, a shield strip, the inner part of which is stitdied snugly to the main body of the cult and the outer edge being formed and adapted to stand outward somewhat away from the cuff body.
