FASTENER FOR BARBRS APRONS.

Application filed April `20, 1928. Serial No. 271,497..

` rIhis invention relates to a fastener for the neck piece of al barbers apron or hair cloth, and has for. its principal object to provide s'uch a construction for a fastener thatit may be readily secured to' an end-portion of the neck piece of the apron or hair cloth and will provide adjustments, so that the hair cloth or apron may fit closely upon large or small i will not become injured during the operation of laundering.

The invention includes a fleXible,.elongat-ed attenuated pad formed by winding 'a fabric strip upon itself in overlapped relation to form numerous pockets or detents at'longitudinal intervals and adapted to be stitched to an end-portion of the neck-piece ofy the apron,

whereby a hook securedupon an opposite endportion of the apron may engage in a select-e pocket for the purposes mentioned.

With the foregoing objects in view theinvention presents a new and useful construction, combination and arrangement of parts as described herein and claimed, and as shown y in the accompanying drawing, it being understood that changes. in size, proportion and minor details may be changed as found to be of advantage, said changes being within the scope ofthe invention as claimed..

ln'the drawing, Fig. 1 is a broken away view showing the deviceapplied to an endportion of the neck piece of a barbers apron or hair cloth. Fig. 2 is a section on line 2 2 of Fig. 5. Fig. 3 shows a part of the fastener and a hook engaging one of thev pockets. Fig.

4 illustrates the use of the fastener. Figi 5 is an enlarged side view, showing a part of the fastener. .y

Referring now to the drawing for a more particular description, the fastener is shown and described inA connection with a neck piece 6 of a barbers apron or hair cloth 7 The fastener consi-sts of a fabric strip which is wound longitudinally upon itself in overlapped relation to form numerous folds. -The width of the strip is not important but the number of folds should be sufficient to form a number of detents 8 adapted to be engaged by a hook 9, said hook being secured to an endportion 10 opposite to the end-portion 11 upon which the fastener is secured.

By referring to Figs;- 3 and 5 0f the' dra-wing it will be seen that the pockets 8 are formed by winding a fabric strip upon itself to form folds, each fold being indicated at 12, one-half of one complete fold operating to form a pocketor detent 8 at the outer side of the fastener, and each member 8 having a rectilinear edge disposed approximately at right-angles to the fastener, a part 13 of each fold being disposed at the rear side of-the. fas- 'tener inclinedly or in angularl relati'on to the one-half part of 12 of a fold as shown by dotted lines. y

The winding of the strip mentioned may be readily accomplished, and for this purpose a narrow metallic or paste-board strip (not shown) being used to advantage, upon which the fabric strip may be wound, care being eX` ercised in the winding .so that the edges of the pockets will be disposed at right-angles to the fastener in forming one-halfof each fold, the one-half 13 of each fold being disposed in clinedly to the half which forms the. pockets as mentioned. The metallic or pasteboard i strip is then drawn outwardly from the .folds thus formed, and row-s of stitches llare then provided for the fastener near the'longitue dinal edges thereof. v y

Itwill be understood that the fastener may be secured to one of the end-portions 7 oppo-A site to the mounting of the hook 9 and that the pockets or detents 8, or any one of said pockets,xmay operate as a holder for the hook, and in operation the neck-piece of a hair cloth or apron may be disposed to fit snugly upon the neck Isince a suitable detent 8 may be sel lected `to be engaged bythe hook. It will be understood that the fastener' when completed will have the appearance of an elongated iiegible pad, its' thickness depending upon the width of the flexible strip used. It will beappreciated by those whouse the fastenersthat, on account of the construction described, the hook 9 will readily enter any selected holder'8, one reason being that the ledges of the pockets will have a limited outward curvature, another reason being that the fastener will have a yieldingl surface similar to that of a pad or cushion, this result being caused bythe numerousfolds mentioned.

`llVe claim as our inventiion,-

1. A fastener for the `neck piece of a barlun spirally in overlapping relation upon itself to form numerous folds having exposed edges, Y rows ofstitches near the ends of the folds con-- necting said folds with each other,each fold y Y -between saidrows of stitches providing a detent for receiving a hook.

2. In a fastener forvan end-portion of a neck-piece of an apron, an opposite end-portion of the neck-piece bein provided with a hook, a fabric strip woun spirally upon itself in. overlapping relation and forming numerous folds each having an exposed edge, a air of rows of stitches near the ends of the forids connecting the foldsv one with another and connectingthe folds to the neck-piece7 each exposed ed e of a fold providing'a detent adapted to e engaged b said hook.

3. In afastener for a bar rs apron, an elongated, attenuated iexible pad consisting of a fabric strip wound spirally to form *numerous folds overlapping each other and adapted to be secured to the apron, rows of stitches connecting the folds one with an-v other, the overlappingpart of each fold forming a. holder-member adapted to be engaged lby a hook.l

4. A fastener for connecting two opposed parts of an apron', one of'said parts being proi vided with a hook,l a strip of fabric wound spirally to provide a plurality of overlapping folds and secured to the opposed part o the apron, lsaid overlapping -parts of the folds ibleiig adapted to provldeholders for said oo A. 1 l

5. A fastener for 4connecting ltwo opposed parts of an apron, one of said parts being provided with a; fastening element, a viexible elongated' pad adapted to be secured to that.

part of the apron opposite to -said fastening element, said pad consistin of a fabric strip wound spirally uponitsel to provideo'verlap ing folds, rows of stitches connectingthe foldsvnear their edges, the'` overla pin of said'folds providing pockets adlziptergi oeiv'e` said fastener-element.

In testimony whereof, we have afiixed our signatures.
