CAPE.
ence more particularly to acape structure for protecting the shoulders, the arms and the upper portion of a body of a person. it
One of the important objects of the present invention isto provide a cape which is formed of a single piece of material, thusrendering the garment inexpensiveand simple in, con-- 'struction.
Another important object of the invention is to provide a cape wherein a'flap provides a closure for the open front side of the cape, the flap being formed from the same piece of material as the body portion of the cape.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the course of the following detailed description.
In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this application and in which like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the views:
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the cape embodying my invention, showing the manner in which the same is worn.
Figure 2 is a top plan. view of the blank showing the manner in which the edge portions of the open front side of the cape are reinforced and also showing the flap.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken approximately on the line 33 of Figure 2, and
Figure 1 is a sectional view, taken approximately on the line Hoof Figure 2. V
In the drawing, wherein for thev purpose of illustration is shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 1 designates generally my improved cape, the same being formed from a single piece of mate-' rial, such as paper, rubber or cloth. The blank 2 is circular in design and the same is formed with a central opening 3, which is sufficiently large to accommodate the neck of the person wearing the cape. The blank is slit or out along the line 4, from the circular opening 3, to the outer circumferential edge of the blank, thereby forming what may be termed as a slit body portion, whereby to permit the cape to-be placed around the neck of the wearer, so as to be disposed over the shoulders and arms of the wearer.
The blank is further slit along the line 5 from the outer circumferenceof the blank to arpoint 6 adjacent the circular opening 3, and this slit 5 is spaced from the aforementioned slit or cut so that a segmental flap 7 will be formed. This flap has its major por- 1927. seriai- "1a., 182,050.
tion cut awayfrom theblank and is only connect'edthereto at the portion 8, in theman ner as clearly shown in Figure '2. This flap will forma closure for the separated edges formed at the'slit atthe front side of thev 'cape,1n the manner clearly illustrated inFigure 1 The edge portion'9, which is disposed adjacent thefree longitudinal edge of the flap 7 is folded back uponlitself'along. the line 10, and. the folded portion ll'is stitched or otherwise secured'along its free edges to the inner side of the portion 9 of the body or back 2 of the cape as indicated at 12. The folded portion 11 provides a reinforcement for the edge portion 9, of the cape.
In a similar manner, the outer edge portion 13 is folded along the line 14 and this fold is located at a point adjacent the radially.
extending slit 5. The connecting portion 8 between the flap 7 and the body portion isv also folded to form a continuation of the slit 5 and the fold between the flap 7 and the I edge portion 13 is clearly shown in Figures 2 and 4. The folded portion 14 of the edge,
portion 13'is also stitched or otherwise secured to the inner side of the material.
Any appropriate fastening means is provided for securing the upper converging edge portions 9 and 13 of the cape together around the neck of the wearer, and in the present instance I haveshown such a fastening means in the form of asnap fastener, 15. However, 1 do not wish to limit myself to the particular manner in which the neck portions of the open front side of the cape are to be connectedtogether.
When thus worn, the cape will have its open front side covered by the flap 7 which will be disposed beneath the folded portions 11 and 1 4: of. the edge portions 9 and 13, respectively, and the person may extend his hands out through the cape between the edge portions of the cape and the underlying flap 7 For the purpose of preventing the lower free corners of the edge portions 9 and 13 frombeing blown upwardly, any appropriate fastening means may be provided for connecting'such corners to the lower corners of the flap. Thehcape, when worn, will pro- PATENT orrl'csi -y tect the shoulders and arms as well as the By forming a cape from .a single piece ofv material, considerable expense will be saved,
and there will be no joints or seams readily visible from the outside of the cape such as is apparent with the capes now generally in use.
While I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that various changes in the size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:
A cape constructed from a single piece of material and including a body portion of circular design, said body portion being formed with a central opening, and being slit from the central opening to the outer circumference thereof whereby to form edge portionsat the open front side of the cape, the central opening forming a portion adapted to encircle the neck of the wearer, said body being formed with an additional slit adjacent the aforementioned slit, the second mentioned slit extending inwardly from the outer edge of the body to a point adjacent the circular open end, whereby to form a segmental flap, the major portion of Which is cut away ation of the first mentioned slit, the neck engaging portions of said edge portions being secured together, the edge portions adjacent the outer circumference of the body being detachably secured to the adjacent portions of the underlying flap.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
