JOHN W. N. FABER, OF LONG BEACH. YORK.
APRON.
Application filed October 12', 1925. Serial No. 61,900.
My invention relates to aprons for general use, including aprons used by lodge members, club members, hotel and restaurant guests, as well as aprons used by operators in various lines of industry.
The purpose of my invention is to give an apron such construction and arrangement of parts so as to enable the apron to be made up and sold cheaply, and preferably so that it may be discarded after a single use.
The apron includes a body portion which may be made of any-suitable sheet material, such. as paper or a low priced fabric. Preferably the said body portion is made of paper, of the kinds known in the trade as crepe paper, crinkled paper, napkin paper or the like.
More particularly stated my invention relates to the strings and fastenings connected with the body portion of the apron and to the means whereby the same are held in position.
Reference is made tothe accompanying drawing forming a part of my specification and in which like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the several figures.
Figure 1 is a plan view of one form of my improved apron, the main reinforcing strip being shown as partly broken away.
Figure 2 is a section on the line 33 of Figure 1, looking in the direction indicated by the arrows.
In the form shown in Figures 1 and 2 the body portion of the apron appears at 4 and integral with it is a chest portion 5. These parts are preferabl made from a single sheet of paper out to t e desired shape. the body portion being usually relatively broad and of a general rectangular contour, and the chest portion usually curving inwardly from the upper corners of the body portion and extending thence upwardly in somewhat reduced width.
A single apron string is shown at 6 and is adapted to be brought around the body of the wearer and tied in the usual manner. A neck string appears at 7 and fits around the neck of the wearer.
In order to secure the apron string in position, it is simply placed loosely'across the body portion 4; of the apron and straightened out flat, so as to occupy the position indicated for it in Figure 1, that is, straight across the entire width of the upper edge or waist part of the body portion, with its opposite ends extending loosely beyond'the side edges of the body portion. Then a strip 8 of sheet material, preferably paper, is laid upon the string and is caused to adhere both to the string and to the body portion of the apron. For this purposes the strip 8 carries a coating 9 of adhesive, such as glue, paste, cement or the like, which, being moistened at the start and pressed down, secures the strip 8firmly upon and across the adjacent portion of. the apron string 6 while the longitudinal margins of the strip, projecting above and below the string, adhere to the body.
The length of the paper strip 8 coincides with the width of the body portion 4 of the apron and said strip is 'gummed tight to the body and to the string preferably throughout the entire width of the body.
The neck string 7 is secured upon the neck portion 5 of the apron by means of two short strips 10 in a manner which may readily be understood from the foregoing description relative to the strip 8. That is to say, each strip 10, being made of flexible sheet material, such as paper, and being coated on one face with an adhesive, is pressed down upon the end portion of the neck string 7 so as to adhere both to the string and to the chest portion and thereby I secure the ends of the neck string firmly in position upon the chest portion.
The apron string and the neck'stringbeing ap lied as aforesaid; all moist parts are allowe to dry and the apron is ready for use.
The body portion of my improved apron may have any desired form suitable for enabllng it to be worn upon the person, after the manner of other aprons well known in this art.
My improved apron can be made up either by hand or by machinery, as may be considered advisable. It is well adapted for quantity production, and its parts may be readily standardized.
In short practically any apron string known in the art may be secured as above described, and used in connection with my inve tion.
I is essential to note that the strip 8 may be as broad as may be desired or found necessary inorder that it may constitute a desirable reinforcing element or band not only to give a required substance and stiffness to the upper end, or waist part, of the body portion, which it does particularly by reason of being gummed tightly throughout its extent, but also to distribute both the longitudinal and the shearing strains of the strip upon the material of the body. It effectually prevents the string from cutting through the n'1a "ial of the body and at the same time hole. the string as a fixed and efficient part of a heterogeneous reinforcing band across the top of the body, the protruding ends of the string being in this sense efficiently anchored to the opposite ends of this reinforcing band.
It will be noted that this apron requires no, sewing, sticking or other fastening except the adhesive. Thus the strings or equivalent members are so secured to the body portion as to avoid all cutting action by the threads ordinarily used in sewing.
This construction also enables the body portion to be made of delicate material, such as soft paper or the like.
I do not limit myself to the precise construetion shown, as variations may be made therein Without departing from my invention, the scope of which is commensurate with my claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent is as follows 1. An apron comprising a sheet of paper shaped to constitute the body portion of the apron, a reinforcing member extending continuously and entirely across the upper part of said body portion, said reinforcing member comprising a string and a separate strip of material pasted firmly to the string and to the body portion throughout the width of the body portion, and the opposite ends of said string continuing loosely beyond the ends of said strip and thus beyond the opposite side edges of the body portion to constitute apron strings for the usual purpose.
2. An apron comprising a sheet of paper shaped to constitute the body portion of the apron, a string extending continuously and entirely across the upper part of said body portion and having its opposite ends continuing beyondthe opposite side edges of said body portion, a strip of paper overlying said string throughout the entire width of said body portion, said strip of paper being Wider than said string so that its longitudinal margins overlie parts of the body portion above and below the string, an adhesive material fixing said strip of paper throughout its length, and thus throughout the entire width of the body portion, firmly directly to said string and to the parts of the body portion Whichsaid strip of paper overlics,whereby to provide a heterogeneous reinforcing strip entirely across the body portion, and the continuing ends of said string being thus connected with said reinforcing strip to serve as apron strings beyond the opposite side edges of the body portion for the usual purpose.
