DRESS SHIELD.
Application led April 13, 1928. Serial No. 269,834.
This invention relates to dress shields and more particularly to devices of this character which are adapted to be removably secured in the dress.
As heretofore constructed, dress shields which have been in general use, have been sewed in the garment, thus rendering the removal thereof difficult when it is desired to launder thev garment or shield, and further, when the shields are secured in positionby pins, the garment presents avery unsightly appearance. 4 In; clothing stores where apparel of this nature i's'sold, it is the custom to permit the prospective purchaser to try on `the garmentzto determine whether same fits. In this way the' 'garment may be tried on a number oftimes without being purchased, with A.the result, especiall in warm weather, of it becoming soiled, t ereby necessitating the sale thereof at a reduced price.A Furthermore, a tried onjgarment may carry infection to one Who subsequently tries it on. j
This invention has for one of its objects, the provision, in a manneras hereinafter set forth, a device of the aforementioned character having lmeans embodied therewithl for quickly and securely fastening same in a dress, and wherein said fastening means are concealed from view. 'j i j Another object of the invention is to provide a dress shield of the character set forth which may be manufactured at very low cost, thus permitting the proprietors of stores to purchase same in quantities and place fresh ones ina garment for each customer, after which said shield may bedestroyed, thus preventing said garment from being damaged and protecting the customer from disease.
A further obj ect'of the inventionis pro-v vide a dress shield which will bel simple in construction, strong, durable, and efficient in its use. l
Other objects and advantagesof the indetailed specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawingshwherein like reference characters designate correshield and serves to reinforce same.

Figure 3 is an enlarged cross section taken on the line 3 3 of Figure l, showing one of the fasteners which secure the shield on the dress,'and
\ Figure 4 is an enlarged detail perspective flap 2 covers-that portion of the inner side of the body 5 of the garment which is adjacent the sleeve 6. The iap 3 fits into lthesleeve 6 `and covers a portion thereof which is adacent the joint 7 which connects said sleeve to the body 5( It is understood `that the z'The shield 1 'comprises a body iap'and an "arm flap 3, said flaps being connected alon `their -upper edges by a joint 4, describe 7m o n an arc, as shown in Figure 1. The Abody curvature of the joint 4 of the flaps 2 and 3 is substantially the same as the curvature of the joint 7 The shield 1 is provided at its edges with a facing or `binding strip 8 which entirely surrounds the marginal `portions of said facing strip8 is preferably of fabric and en. closes the edges and marginal portions of the flaps.. j t Y i f )For the purpose of detachably securing inverted substantially U-shaped clips 9 are provided. The` clips 9 are mountedon'the inner sides of the Iiaps 2 and 3 at the opposite ends of the joint 4 and are heldin position by the facing strip 8. The strip 8 is f suiiicient width to cover the'slips 9, and connection with the innerfaces of the liaps 2` and 3 andthe joint 4, constitutes an enclbsure which entirely conceals said clips from view. The depending leg portions of the clips 9 are provided with inwardly t turned struck-out prongs l() which -project. through the facing strip 8'. In. applying the shield to the garment, the flaps 2 and 3 are positioned therein in such manner that the clips 9 are mounted upon the joint 7 of said garment and the de ending legs of said clips'embrace the adjacent Walls of the body 5 and sleeve 6. IIn this' position, when the legs of the clips 9 are permitted to spring together, the prongs 10 The 4 4the shield isthus securely held therein.
-Which will fall within the When it is desired to remove the shield from the garment, the legs of the clips 9 are spreadr apart, thereby withdrawing the pron s from said garment, after which the shield is free to be removed.
When used in stores, the clerk will insert the shield in the garment which the prospective purchaser desires to try on. When the customer has finished trying on the garment, the shield may be removed and dest'royed.
It is thought that the many advantages of a dress shield constructed in accordance with this invention `will be readily understood, and although the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction may be made scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A dress shield comprising a body portion, afbinding strip enclosing the edge and marginal faces of said body portion, and securing elements positioned between the body portion and said binding strip for securing the shield in a garment, each of said 2. A dress shield comprising a (pair of opposed connected flaps, a bin ing strip mounted on and enclosing the edges and marginal. portions thereof, inverted U- shaped securing elements mounted between said flaps and the binding strip at the point of connection of the flaps, said elements having inwardly turned prongs projecting through opposed portionsl of the binding strip and adapted to engage a garment for the purpose of securing the shield thereto.
3. A dress shield comprising a pair of op- .posed connected flaps, a binding strip enclosing the edges and marginal portions of said flaps, inverted, substantially lU-shaped 4securing elements mounted on said flaps and extending downwardly therebetween from the connected portions thereof, portions of each of said elements being secured to opposed faces of the flaps by the binding strip in a manner to enclose the elements between the flaps and said strip, and securing prongs carried by said elements and projecting inwardly through opposed faces of the strip.
In testimony whereof, I aix my signature hereto. FLORINDA GARDNER.
