' use Patented Jan. .5,- 193'1 f UNITED STATES PATENT] OFFICE coma STAY Ben B. Manaster, Chicago, Ill. Application May 6,1936, Serial No. vans momma. (on. .432) D This invention relates to a collar stay.
It is an'object of this invention to provide an improved collar stay which is relatively simple and inexpensive in construction and efliclent in Another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved collar stay for holding the wings of soft collars in place.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved collar stay of the adjustable type for holding the wings of soft collars, of various lengths, in proper wearing position.
, showing a preferred form of the new collar stay associated therewith and in wearing position;
I Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of a preferred I in generally indicated at l0, and comprises collar engaging means in the form of a cross bar II.'
This cross bar It includes a central portion 21 and a pair of substantially U-shaped bends l2 at the ends or extremities of the central portion 21.
The collar stay l also includes a pair of legs, each of which isgenerally indicated at l3, and each of these legs I 3 includes an upper leg section It and a lower leg section l8. Each of the upper leg sections I6 includes a pair of spaced and substantially parallel portions li and 28 and each of the bends I2 terminates in or merges into the portion 28 of the corresponding upper leg section IS. The portion 28 of each of the upper leg sections I6 is bent back upon itself, at its lower end, in an offset U-shaped formation or return bend. as at I, (Figs. 3 and 4), thus providing the corresponding portion l5 and the upper end por; tion ll of each of the leg portions I5 is bent or coiled around the corresponding leg portion 28' where the latter merges into the corresponding U-shaped bend i2 (Fig. 3). Slidably positioned between the parallel portions l5 and 28 of each of the upper leg sec- 5 tions I6 is the corresponding lower leg section l8 each of these lower leg sections i8 is provided, at its lower end, with a piercing point, i9. Likewise formed in each of the lower leg sections l8,
adjacent the piercing point iii in the same, are 0 penetration-limiting means in the form of a coil or convolution 20, and these coils or convolutions 20 limit the extent to which the piercing points l9 will penetrate into the wings 2| of a soft collar 22 when the collar stay is in applied or wearing position, as in Fig. 1. I
Likewise formed in each of the lower leg sections I 8 is an offset or U-shaped portion 23 and each of these offset or U-s'haped portions 23 is projected through an opening or slot 24 which is formed in a collar 25, eachof these collars 25 being slidably mounted upon the upper leg section I6 of the corresponding leg l3 and serving to slidably connect the lower leg section l8 of each leg to the upper leg section "5 of the same.
, These collars 25 also function, in a manner which will be described presently, to limit the movementof the upper and lower leg sections l6 and i8, respectively, relative to each other when the same are disposed in extended position (as in Figs. 2and3).
. Arranged upon each pair of the upper leg sections 16, between the upper end of the corresponding collar 25 and the coiled end portion I! of the corresponding leg portion 15, is an expansion coil spring 26, and these coil springs 26 normally urge thecollars 25 and the lower leg sections [8, which are attached thereto, at 232l, into extended position (as in Figs. 2 and 3), the lower leg sections [8 being prevented from be- 40 coming detached from the upper leg sections [5 by the engagement of the collars 25 with the bent portions ll of the upper leg sections l6.
In the use of the new collar stay In the same may be attached to soft collars, such as 22, and 5 which have wings 2| of various lengths, by arranging the collar stay under the collar, (in a manner which is now well understoodin the art) and is illustrated in Fig. 1, and then engaging, the
piercing points IS in the fabric of the wings 2| stay, the onset or U-shaped portions 23 in the lower leg sections l8, being projected through the openings or slots 2| in the collars 25, serve to attach the collars 25 to the lower leg sections I8.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification, without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such varia-- tions and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
