Description
R. YACOVINO SHIRT Filed NOV. 27, 1934 INVENTOR. RALPH mam/mm BY 2 C E ATTORNEY.
Patented Nov. 17, 1936 T FFIQE 1 Claim.
This invention relates generally to attaching means for interconnection of garment members and more specifically to shirts wherein the waist portions thereof are detachably connected to the trouser portions.
The main object of the invention is the provision of structure whereby trousers are detachably connected to the shirt at the waist portion thereof, to be supported thereat without the use of any suspenders or belt, and whereby the shirt is kept taut and neat in appearance. Another object of the invention is the elimination of elastic parts in the construction thereof so that the relation and efficacy of the parts of the'shirt are unimpaired by repeated washings.
The present invention makes provision for attachment means situated proximate the waist portion of a garment juxtaposing any other connecting edge thereof whereby connection and disconnection of the trousers or other nether garment is made easily and quickly with very slight increase in the number of parts so that the garment is less binding, more comfortable and cooler in hot weather.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of novel structure whereby the belt member thereof gives comfortable abdominal support and at the same time all the new structure is within the nether portions of the garment sothat said new structure is invisible as worn and the waist portion of the garment presents a neat and trim appearance.
These objects and other incidental ends and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear in the progress of this disclosure and the novelty thereof will be pointed out in the appended claims.
The accompanying drawing shows a preferred form of the invention as applied to a mans shirt. It is distinctly understood, however, that other embodiments of the invention are feasible in single piece garments where certain portions are adapted to be alternately separated from and in connection with other portions, such as the seat portion of a garment, and the connecting edges of any and all other types of garments.
In the drawing now to be described, corresponding reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout.
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a preferred embodiment of the invention as applied to a mans shirt wherein the sleeve portions thereof are not shown.
Figure 2 is a rear elevational view of the structure shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view of Figure 1 showing in detail the interrelationship of the belt member and the buttonhole reinforcing strip at the crossing thereof.
Figure 4 is a sectional view partly broken away of Figure 2 along the plane l4 thereof.
Figure 5 is a sectional view partly broken away of Figure 1 along the plane 55 thereof.
In accordance with the invention and in accordance with the accompanying drawing, numeral I0 designates the underlapping half of the front wall of the shirt while numeral I I indicates the overlap-ping half of said front wall. Numeral :2 indicates the rear wall of the shirt and, together with walls IO and I I, constitutes the main body of the shirt. This main body is gathered slightly where it converges at the waist portion so that the circumference thereat is slightly reduced. This gathering is permanently maintained by a row of stitches I3 as best seen in Figures 4 and 5.
A belt member I5 provided with a plurality of spaced buttonholes I6 and I1 is affixed to the body I0-I I-I2 by stitching the upper edge of said belt to the body of the shirt by a row of stitches I4 directly above the stitches I3. Stitches I4 continue along the upper longitudinal edge of said belt almost the full length thereof stopping short, however, of one end to leave that end free of attachment to the shirt. This results in a tab-like terminal which is provided with a buttonhole I8 and is reenforced where it diverges from the shirt by a row of stitches I4 across its width.
The opposite end of the belt member I5 is provided with a series of buttons I9 and 20.
It can thus be seen that when the free end of belt member I5 is buttoned to buttons I9 or 20, a continuous belt member is formed which slightly constricts the waist of the wearer of the garment and serves all of the functions of a belt ordinarily used as a separate and distinct article of clothing. The provision of a series of buttons such as I9 and 20 allows the belt member I5 to be adjusted in circumference by the wearer to suit his comfort or diurnal variations in girth.
Buttonholes I'I situated in the rear of belt member I5 are angularly disposed and diverge downwardly and outwardly from an imaginary line drawn vertically through the center of rear wall I2 while buttonholes I6 are also angularly disposed and converge downwardly and inwardly toward an imaginary line drawn vertically through the center of the front wall of the shirt comprised of walls In and I I. The peculiar and novel disposition of the buttonholes I6 and I1 as just set forth results in a high degree of facility in the engagement and disengagement of trouser buttons therewith and also permits the security of such button fastening when in an engaged position.
Numeral 2| designates a pair of ordinary trousers having buttons, normally used for suspenders, projecting inwardly from the inner face of the waist band portion thereof. These buttons are spaced along such waist band to coincide with and engage the buttonholes i6 and i1. These buttons are not shown in the drawing except in Figure 4 where one of them 22 is shown engaging one of the rear buttonholes H.
A vertical buttonhole reinforcing strip 24 superposes the inner edge of the overlapping front wall H and is stitched thereto by two longitudinal rows of stitches 25 and 25' and a short transverse row of stitches 26. Below the row of stitches 26 strip 24 is free of wall l and diverges sufficiently therefrom to pass downwardly over belt member H5. The lower terminal of strip 24 is provided with a buttonhole 28 adapted. to engage a button 23 afiixed to and projecting inwardly from the fly portion of the normal pair of trousers as best seen in Figure 5.
It may now be seen that the weight of the trousers as carried by belt member I5 and the lower end of vertical buttonhole reinforcing strip 24, pulls downwardly in such a manner as to maintain the walls lBH-l2 relatively taut and neat, thereby avoiding the creeping up of the main body of the shirt as it is worn and thereby eliminating consequent buckling and wrinkling. It will also be seen that since the weight of the trousers is widely distributed along the entire belt member I5 and the reinforcing strip 24, there is no excessive strain at any one point along the belt member l5. This last mentioned distribution of weight makes possible the construction of belt member If and reinforcing strip 24 of comparatively light material with a corresponding increase in comfort to the wearer. This same weight distribution also results in distributing the load from such weight over the entire shoulder area of the wearer, thereby eliminating the pinching and binding which normally occurs where such weight is borne by narrow straps or webbing as in the case of suspenders, as commonly worn.
It is understood that minor changes and variations in the construction and detail of the disclosure herein may be indulged in without departing from the spirit of the invention and without departing from the scope of the appended claim.
I claim:
In a shirt of the class described, the combination with a body garment, of a belt member substantially greater in length than the girth of the body garment, said belt member being aflixed along substantially less than all'of the upper longitudinal edge thereof to said body garment, a vertical reinforcing strip afiixed to the exterior of the front wall of said body garment and having a loose lower integral terminal extending substantially beyond the lowermost point of attachment thereof to said front wall and overlapping the said belt member, and means for detachably attaching a nether garment to the said vertical reinforcing strip and to the said belt member.
RALPH YACOVINO.
