UNITED STATES ALBERT ADOLPHE FOURNIER, OF OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA.

CUFF.

Application filed May 4, 1925. Serial No. 27,776.

'1 b all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT ADoLrHE FOURNIER, a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, and resident of Ottawa, in the county of Carleton and Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Cuff, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention appertains to improvements in the art of detachable cuffs and specifically to the formation of the ends thereof, as described in the present specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

The object of my present invention is to provide a cuff of this character having its ends turned inwardly and closed by a row of transverse stitching sewn through the opposite faces of cuff properand the inturned ends, the row of transverse stitching being positioned slightly remote from the end, so as to give the appearance that ends of the two faces of the cuff are separate and unattached.

- A further object is to provide a cuff having its opposite sides inturned and its raw edge turned back upon the inturned portion and a row of transverse stitching through opposite faces of the cuff proper and the inner edge of said inturned portions, whereupon the ends are pinched by the transverse stitching so as to space apart the free extreme ends of the end.

WVith the foregoing and other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of co-operating elements as hereinafter more specifically set forth, claimed and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the present application, and in which:

Fig. 1 illustrates a fragmentary section of the end of the cufi, showing one preferred embodiment of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a similar view, illustrating a modified form of my invention.

Fig. 3 is a similar view illustrating a further modified form of my invention.

The formation of the cufi other than the ends does not form a part of this application and therefore, the cuff proper may be made up in any manner desired and may be made from a single, double or plurality of pieces of material sewn together in any desirable manner.

Referring to Fig. l, 3 indicates one ply of material and 4 the other ply of material having their ends turned in. 5 is a row of transverse stitching uniting together the respective plies of material and their respective inturned ends. It. will be noted that the stitching 5 is sufficiently remote from the end of the cuff so as to leave the opposite rolled ends free to flex and appear as if they were independent of each other and thus present the appearance of the well known permanently attached fold-back soft cuff.

In'the modified form, Fig. 2, the raw ends are turned back upon the inturned ends so as to more or less provide at this point humps 6. The stitching 5 extending through the plies of material 3 and 4 and through the inner extremity of the humps 6, will pro-- vide a pinched efiect, which will cause the outer ends of the cuff to be normally separated apart.

In the modified form, Fig. 3, the ends are turned in and the raw ends are turned back upon the inturned ends so as to provide the humps 6. The stitching 5 may extend through the materials 3 and 4: and through the inner extremity of the humps 6 or each opposite side may be sewn separately. A second row of transverse stitching 7 is provided in close proximity to the humps 6. The humps 6 act as a fulcrum point and the pinching of the material at the stitching point 7 will cause the outer ends of the cuff to be normally separated apart.

If desired, an interlining may be used and, if used, may be fixed in the cuff in any desired manner.

From the foregoing, it will be noted that I have provided a cuff in which the ends are finished in such a manner that they will give the appearance of being formed of two sepa rate thicknesses independent of each other.

hat I claim as new is:

1. In a cufi' composed of two thicknesses 10G of material, the respective ends of which are turned in, stitching to retain said turned in ends to said material at a distance from the free ends of said cuff and stitching inwardly of said first mentioned ends to cause a normal spacing apart of said free ends.

2. In a cuff composed of two thicknesses of material, the respective ends of said material being'turned in and turned back upon themselves to form a hump, stitching to re- 10 In testimony whereof, I aflix my signa- 5 ture.

ALBERT ADOLPHE FOURNIER.
