H. T. MEEK GARME Nov. 6, 1934.
NT PROTECTOR Filed March 13, 1933 3 INVENTOR, I flara/d Eat/lined Meek;
Patented Nov. 6, 1934 UNITED, STATE 3 Claims.
This invention relates to garment protectors, and more particularly to means for shielding .a garment from becoming soiled by perspiration exuded from the armpits.
The principal purpose of the invention is the provision of an absorbent shield for this purpose which can be produced so economically that it may be wholly discarded after a days or anevenings use and a fresh one substituted.
Another object is the provision of a shield which, although having sufficient strength and absorptive capacity to last at least a day, will be extremely thin and compact, thereby obviating the discomfort that inevitably accompanies bulkiness.
Another object is the provision of a shield that is constructed wholly of thin, loose, porous material to enhance "its ventilative qualities.
Another object is to provide means for preventing the, derangement or disintegration of the thin, loose material, and for rendering the shield mechanically strong without unduly complicating its structure.
Another'object is to provide thin, flexible, inconspicuous, comfortable, simple, inobtrusive means for readily attaching orv detaching the shield to the seam that connects the sleeve to the body of the garment.
Other objects, advantages and desirable features of the invention will appear in the course of the following description of an illustrative embodiment of the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, in which like numbers of reference denote like parts wherever they occur Figure 1 is an elevation of. a garment protcctor embodying the features of this invention;
Figure 2 is a view of the same as it appears when its flaps are extended, looking toward the inner faces of the flaps;
Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 in Figure 1, the thickness being exaggerated to show the details more clearly;
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the line H in Figure 1, also exaggerated;
Figure 5 is a fragmentary, exaggerated, sectional view taken on the line 5--5 in Figure .2; Figure 6 is an elevation of a blank of reticulate material. that forms a part of the protector; and
Figure 7 is an elevation of a blank of absorbent material that forms a part of the protector.
The protector comprises a pair of closed en- ATENT FFiE velopes or hollow flaps 1, filled with suitable absorbent material, exemplified by thin sheets 2, of fiufiy loosely packed cotton or cellulose fibre.
The absorbent sheets 2, being tegrable, are reinforced by light 0 easily disinpen fabric or reticulate material, exemplified by sheets 3, of cheese cloth or surgical gauze, that expose the absorbent sheets 2. The sheets 2 and 3 are preferably in the form of approximately crescent-shaped blanks, having upper COHCELVG arcuate edges 4, that follow the general contour of the arm pits. The reticulate blanks 3 are secured to the opposite faces of the absorbent blanks 2 by any suitable means, exemplified by marginal stitching 5, which, also, along the arcuate edges 4, a pair serves to join of the composite flaps 1, so formed of the blanks 2 and 3.
The shield is worn in the arm hole of a garment with one flap 1, in the sleeve and the other flap 1, inside the body of the garment.
It Will be observed that the inner or garment side 6,
of each flap, as well as the cute r or arm pit side 7, of each flap, is formed of retic'ulate material, thereby permitting the air to circulate through all the material of the flaps and giving greater comfort to the wearer.
The flaps 1, are
The stitching 5, secures the absorbent material in place in the pocket of each flap 1, preventing its disturbance, displacement or disintegration.
The protector may, if desired, be attached to the body of the wearer by adhesive material,
such for instance, as court plaster or surgeons tape, or it may be likewise adhesively attached to the garment to hold it in place.
Preferably,
however, the protector is provided at its opposite ends, in juxtaposition to its seam or line of fold 8, with flexible elongated elements or straps 9, of loop formation, whose ends 10 are secured by means of stitches 11, to the inner face 7, of
a fiap 1. through the loops 12, of clips 13, of
The straps or ribbons 9, extend a well known type, whose free ends 14, may be pressed securely against the opposite sides of the seams of the garment that connect the sleeves to the body thereof.
The straps 9 are preferably seamed to the inner or garment side 6 of the protector so as not to irritate or c pit of the user.
hate the am flaps, looped straps extending from the opposite ends of the line ofjuncture; stitching uniting the straps, the light open fabric and the absorbent material; and clamping clips held in.
the loops of said straps.
2. In a garment protector comprising a pair of hollow flaps formed of light open fabric and foldable on their line of juncture absorbent sheet material in the flaps, flexible looped straps extending from the opposite ends of the line of juncture, stitching uniting the straps to the inside of the flaps, U shaped clips held in the loops of the said straps.
3. A garment protector comprising four superimposed blanks of flexible sheet material, a sheet of absorbent material interposed between each outer and the inner blank adjacent thereto, the said blanks of flexible material being foldable on their line of juncture, flexible looped straps extending from the opposite edge of the line of juncture and stitching attaching the said flexible looped straps on the inside of the said garment protector, U-shaped clips held at right angle in theouter end of the said. flexible looped straps, the said U-shaped clips having prong members to co-operate with apertures to secure the garment protector to a garment.
