BATHING sun.
Application filed August 29, 1927. Serial No. 216,169.
An object of the present invention is to provide an improved bathing garment having a. convertible collar designed for. ready adjustment to a plurality of attractive and distinctiveforms in order that the ornamental effect of the garment may be varied.
Other objects will appear hereinafter. In the drawing: Fig. 1 is a front view of the garment with the collar adjusted to one of its open forms; Fig. 2 a front view of the upper portion of the garment with the collar converted to an other open form"; Fig. 3 a similar view showing the collar adjusted toa closed form; and Fig. 4 an outer face view of an end of the'collar.
The garment comprises a body or waist 1 made of any suitable fabric and formed at its upper endto surround the neck when closed. The upper, neck-surrounding edge of the garment body is designated 2. Outwardly of said edge the body is formed with narrow shoulder portions 3 and arm holes 1. At the front the body is formed with an opening slit 5 which extends from the neck-surrounding edge 2 downwardly asuitable distance. 'Secured within the'body along one edge of-the opening slit is an inner flap 6 which underlaps the opposite edge'ofthe slit and base row of buttons 7 stitched to it along the slit.
These buttons engage in buttonholcs 8 formed in themargiual edge of the body overlying the flap 6. The flap and its row of buttons portion opening slit and terminates. material distance below the upper end of the slit; Along the opposite side of the slit from the buttons 7 V the body has a corresponding row of buttons 9 stitched to it for ornamental effect The garment structure includes a collar 10 in the form of a substantially straight band or strip fabric of substantially uniform width and pointed at the ends. Preferably the band is formed of freely flexible knitted fabric. It is stitched along its lower edge to the edge 53 of the garment body and its length is ,materially greater than that of. edge .2. so that it is provided with free front ends '11 which extend beyond the edges of the slit 5. and are formed with buttonholes 12 near their pointed extremities. Stitched to'the outer face of the collar at opposite sides of the slit 5 are two buttons 18. These buttons are extend upwardly from the lower end of the buttons 14 are secured to the front of the body 1 at opposite sides of the slit,' adjacent the arm holes, and spaced downwardly from the neck almost as far as the uppermost buttons 7 and 9. The upper and lower edges of the collar, the edges of the slit 5. and the edges of the arm holes are all braided as in dicated at .15. The braiding of the slit 5 merges with the lower edge of the collar along lines 16 which curve outwardly toward the ends of the collar. Atthe outer face of the collar is a ring 17 which is stitched to the collar at one point as indicated at 18. This point is located substantially in line with the right hand edge of the slit 5 so that the ring is located upon the collar between one of the buttonholes 12 and one of the buttons 13.
The collar is designed to be worn either open or closed. An open adjustment thereof is shown in Fig. 1. The upper margin of thecollaris here folded down at the back as indicated by the dotted lines, the collar ends 11 are brought straight down, and their buttonholes-12 engaged with the buttons lat over the breast. The upper portion of the slit 5 then forms a V which merges gracefully with the downwardly extending pointed ends of the collar; and folds 19 are formed in the body 1 to define an inner which mer es b with the sides of the collar. Thus a graceful neck opening is defined and this opening is trimmed at the sides by the dependi portions ofthe collar so that the garment at this point presents a very attractive and distinctive appearance. The collar and the bodv of the garment are preferably formed of fabrics differing in texture and color in order to enhance the trimming effect of the collar.
Another adjustment of the opened collar is shown in Fig. 2. Here the free extended ends 11 of the collar are folded back upon the body of the collar and their buttonholes 12 are one 'ed with the inn ons 13. This second ad srnicnt is a variation 01": the first to change the ornamental effect. In the adju ienfs SlJWl in ll 1 and 2. the rin 17 is concealed l y the collar. I C? In Fig. 3 the closedad fitment of the collaris shown. For this ad ustment the collar ends 11 are trained through the ring 17. folded back upon thebody of the collar and secured by the engagement of the buttons 13 with'the buttonholes '12. The collar then encloses the neck and the ends 11 produce the neat, trim and attractive appearance of a butterfly bow.-
ments thus provide simple means to readily vary the ornamental effect of the garment and produce an attractive and distinctive effect in each adjustment. lVhile I have disclosed the preferred. form of my invention I do not wish to be limited to this specific disclosure but reserve the right to make such changes as will lie within the scope of the claims. The fastening elements, for example, may be varied and the invention is obviously adaptable to other forms of garments.
I claim: I
