NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK 1 GARMENT rnorngoron Application filed July 22, 1931. Serial are. 552,507.
This invention relates to paper articles such as are used largely by garment cleaners to cover or enclose one or more garments hung on a shoulder supporter, the latter usually 5 having means whereby it and clothing supported thereby can be delivered to a customer in protected condition and hung on a closet hook or elsewhere.
One of the most common types of such 19 garment protectors consists of a flat tubular enclosure, open at the bottom and having a tapered top formed by triangular folding of the upper corner portions, an opening for the hook of the usual shoulder hanger being provided at the apex of the tapered top. Such garment protectors, especially when made of two distinctly different kinds of paper one of which is liable to be comparatively weak in substance, such as transparent paper like 20 cellophane or glassine, are sometimes found to be undesirably weak at the apex around the opening referred to, and liable to be torn by the presence therein of the usual hook member of a shoulder hanger.
The object of the present invention is to overcome the weakness of the protector at its apex, or in other words to strengthen the protector around that portion in which a hanger is to be located, so as to better with- 39 stand the shocks and wear to which the device is liable to be subjected when in use.
lVith the above object in view, the invention consists in the structure of the articles, substantially as claimed.
Since the articles are illustrated as made from two webs or strips of paper, the terms front and rear will be employed in refer- 40 ring to the accompanying drawing, to distinguish the two webs or sections from each other. It is to be understood however that such terms are only employed for the sake of convenience and not of limitation, as the articles may bear printed matter on either surface,
and of course when so printed the surface bearing the printed matter would be considered the front of the article.
Of the accompanying drawing 2- Figure 1 is a rear elevation of one of the hereinafter described and.
articles as it would appear at a preliminary point of its manufacture. 1
Figures 2 and-3 are, respectively, rear and front elevations of a completed article.
Figure 1 is a section View taken along line 44: ofFigure 3.
Similar reference characters indlcate 'simi lar parts or features 1n all of the views.
QIn the manufacture of the articles, two Webs of- paper 12 and 13 are joined by mar ginal seams 14, and transverselycut at'such longitudinal pointsor distances as necessary to produce articles of such length as may be desired; They may, of course, be much longer than illustrated. Then, as heretofore pro ,duced, corner portions 15 are diagonally folded and adhesively secured, the folding being so gaged as to leave an opening at the apex 16 for the passage of the hook portion of a hanger. As so far described, the steps of manufacture are well known.
In the present structure the front member 13 is preferably of thin translucent paper, and it is usually of much less strength than the rear member 12, and therefore the said member 13 is the one which especially needs strengthening adJacent to the apex opening In carrying out the present invention, I preferably employ strong reinforcing material such as kraft paper or gummed cloth, and cut the same into strips having substantially the form illustrated at the top of Figure 1, so that each reinforcing piece has parallel ends while the edges from end to end are correspondingly salient and re-entrant. This enables the reinforcing pieces or strips to be automatic machinery, is that the desired angular portions of both the front and rear members of the article are folded to the position illustrated in Figure 2, the wing portions 18 being folded over simultaneously therewith, suitable adhesive material being employed to ensure retention of the shoulder portions 1 5 and thewing portions 18 in the positions illustrated by comparing Figures 2, 3 and 4.
- Having now claim described my invention, ll
A garment protector comprising two marginally connected sections of paper one of which is thinner than the other, and a complete reinforcement for the thinner member,
the upper corners of said sections of paper and portions of the reinforcement being tri angularly folded, the central portion of the reinforcement extending across and secured to the thinner member with laterally spreading wing portions thereof folded over and secured to the other section of paper, the complete article having an opening between said folded portions, said opening being of a size to permit the passage of the hook of a garment hanger.
In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature.
. CHARLES T. CHANDLER.
