GARMENT WITH SEMIRAGLAN SLEEVE Filed April 11, 1935 INVENTOR RALPH E.BERMAN Patented Mar. 31, 1936 UNETED STATES PATENT OFFIQE 3 Claims.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a garment with a semiraglan sleeve.

The invention has for an object the .design and construction of a garment which has all the comfort of a raglan sleeve garment and the appearance of regular seamed shoulders with a substantially straight edge or set-in sleeves.

It is known that a garment with reglan sleeves has narrow sloping shoulders but compensates in greater freedom of motion of the shoulders and arms, elaborating on the two distinct types of shoulders as cut in clothing generally, we have first, what is termed the regular shoulder with the shoulder section being integral with the front and back of garment, and the sleeve sewed or set in eircumferentiall'y into the armhole and from the front is substantially straight. Second, we have what is termed a raglan shoulder where the front and back parts of garments are dissected on a line running approximately from the bottom of armhole, front and back, to the point of shoulder at the neck.

It is an object of this invention to design and construct a garment as mentioned which has its parts so arranged and formed that the garment is of set-in sleeve construction in the front and is of raglan sleeve construction in the back.

A still further object of the invention is the constructiori of material forming the front of the garment so as to have a neck edge continuing into a shoulder seam edge continuing into an edge for one-half of a set-in sleeve, and as- ,sociated with material in the form of the adjacent rear of the garment having a neck edge continuing into an edge for one half of a raglan sleeve, and a. sleeve having half of its rear end curved to fit and be stitched together with said edge for one-half of the set-in sleeve and con- "tin'uing into a rearward extending edge to fit and be stitched to the said shoulderseam edge, and continuing into a forward extending edge to fit and be attached to said edge for one half of a raglan sleeve.

Another object of the invention is the construction of a garment as described which is simple and durable and which can be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.

For further comprehension of the invention and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Fig. 5 is a developed view of the adjacent rear 10' quarter of the garment.

Fig. 6 is a developed view of one sleeve of the garment.

Fig. '7 is a view similar to Fig. 6 but showing a modified form of sleeve. =13" Fig. 8 is an other view similar to Fig. 6 but illustrating another modified form of sleeve.

Fig. 9 is a View of the sleeve shown in Fig. 6 partially sewed together with the front quarter of the garment shown in Fig. 4. 20-

Fig. 10 is an elevational view of the sleeve shown in Fig. 6 partially sewed together with the rear quarter of the garment illustrated in Fig. 5.

The garment, according to this invention is illustrated in the completed form in Figs. l-3 25' inclusive. It is composed of front portions Ill having their adjacent edges overlapping and detachably connected with buttons II and having their outer edges secured to the outer edges of rear portions.l2. inner edges i3 stitched together. The garment has a collar l4 and sleeves l5. From the front, the garment has regular seamed shoulders produced by shoulder seams l6 and from the rear the sleeves are raglan, indicated by reference 25 numeral H.

The front portion to has a. neck edge I 4 to which a portion of the collar [4 is stitched, and this neck edge continues into a shoulder seam edge l6 which continues into an edge l5 de-' 411 signed and shaped for receiving one half of a substantially straight or set-in sleeve. The rear portion l2 has a neck edge M to which the collar l4 may be attached, which edge continues into an edge l5 for one half of a raglan sleeve. 45

The material of the sleeve I5 is shown developed in Fig. 6. Half of the inner end of the sleeve I5 is formed with a curved edge l5 adapted to fit and be stitched to the edge l5 of half of the set-in sleeve. The edge I5 continues into a 50 rearward extending edge l5 adapted to fit and be attached to the shoulder seam edge I6 This edge :5 continues into a forward extending edge It: to fit and be stitched to the said edge l5 of the one half of the raglan sleeve.

These rear portions have their 30 In Fig. 9 the sleeve material I5 is shown partially connected with the front portion In. It should be noted that part of the edge l5 is stitched to part of the edge i5. In sewing this part of sleeve, the material of the sleeve bends under into semitubular shape so that the free portion of the edge I 5 may be stitched to the remaining free edge of the edge I The edge 15 of the sleeve material l5 must be stitched to the edge H5 of the front portion In.

In Fig. the sleeve material I5 is shown secured together with the rear portion l2. More particularly, the edge It: of the sleeve material is stitched to the edge W of the rear portion. The

sleeve is also formed by stitching the opposed edges Hi and I5 together. From the above de- 7 scription it is believed that the construction of the garment will be readily understood. p

In Fig. 7 a modified form of sleeve has been disclosed which is formed from adjacent pieces I5 and I5. These adjacent pieces have curved edges I5 and I5 adapted to be secured together soasto give the sleeve a little fullness at the elb ow. In other respects this sleeve construction is 7 identical to the previous described form and the edges thereof may be recognized by the identical reference numerals. v

In Fig. 8 another modified form of sleeve is disclosed which is formed from three parts, indicated by reference numerals 25 25 and 25. The adjacent edges of these parts are shaped so as to enhance the shape of the finished sleeve. In other respects the edges of the sleeve are identical to the edges previously described and similar parts may be recognized by corresponding reference numerals.

The construction of the sleeve forms illustrated in Figs. '7 and 8 may be more economical than the one piece sleeve previously described and make it possible to produce more shapeliness in the finished sleeve.

It is to be understood that it is not necessary to construct this sleeve in a garment with a collaror in a garment with seams either at the front or rear of the garment. This sleeve may be'used on garments of all types, sizes, and materials,

and the proportions may be changed as olesired.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that I do-not limit myself to the precise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United continuing into a substantially straight appear-- ing shoulder seam edge continuing into asu'bstantially semicircular edge for one half of a substantially straight appearing edge sleeve, material in the form of an adjacent rear portion of the garment and having a neck edge continuing into a shallow convexed curved edge for one half of a raglan sleeve, and a sleeve having half of its inner end concavely curved to fit and be stitched together with said semicircular edge for one half of a substantially straight appearing edge sleeve and continuing into a substantially straight appearing edge to fit and be attached to the said shoulder seam edge and continuing into a shallow concaved curved edge to fit and be attached to said shallow curved edge for one half of a raglan sleeve,

2. In a garment, a semiraglan sleeve construction, comprising material in the form of the front portion of a garment and having a neck edge continuing. into a substantially straight appearing shoulder seam edge continuing into a substantially semicircular edge for one half of a substantially straight appearing edge sleeve, material in the form of an adjacent rear portion of a gar ment and having a neck edge continuing into a shallow convexed curved edge for one half of a raglan sleeve, and a sleeve having half of itsv inner end concavely curved to fit and be stitchedtogether with said semicircular edge for one halfof a substantially straight appearing edge sleeve and continuing into a substantially straight appearing edge to fit and be attached to the said shoulder seam edge and continuing into a shallow concaved curved edge to fit and be attached to said shallow curved edge for one half of a raglan sleeve, said sleeve being formed from one piece of material having its longitudinal edges attached together to form the tubular sleeve construction.

3. In a garment, a semiraglan sleeve construction, comprising material in the form of the front portion of a garment and having a neck edge continuing into a substantially straight appearing shoulder seam edge continuing into a substantially semicircular edge for one half of a substantially straight appearing edge sleeve, material in the form of an adjacent rear portionof the garment, and having a neck edge continuing into a shallow convexed curved edge for one half of a raglan sleeve, and a sleeve having half of its inner end concavely curved to fit and be stitched together with said semicircular edge for one half of a substantially straight appearing edge sleeve and continuing into a substantially straight appearing edge to fit and be attached to the said shoulder seam edge and continuing into a shallow concaved curved edge to fit and be attached to said shallow curved edge for one half of a raglan sleeve, said sleeve being formed from several longitudinal sections having adjacent edges curved and attached together to make the sleeve form-fitting.
