REVERSIBLE CUFF Tiled May 14, 1935 Patented May 18, 1937 UNi'rED STATES PATENT orrieE REVERSIBLE CUFF Benjamin H. Pearse, San Antonio, Tex.
Application May 14, 1935, serial No. 21,425`
4 Claims.
This invention relates to reversible shirts or other garments and, among other objects, aims to provide greatly improved reversible barrel cuffs having substantially identical appearance on both sides. More particularly, the invention aims to provide attached cuffs for shirts of the type covered in my Patent'No. 1,975,285.
Other aimsand advantages of the invention will appear in the specification, when considered in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary view of a shirt sleeve showing the improved attached cuff;
Fig. 2 is an inside face View of the cuff opened;
Fig. 3 is an outside face view of the cu;
Figs. 4 and 5 are enlarged sectional views taken on the lines 4--4 and 5 5, respectively, of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 6 is an enlarged sectional View taken on the line 6 5 of Fig. 3.
Referring particularly to the drawing, the illustrated cuff is adapted to be applied to a split sleeve of a negligee shirt which is so constructed and designed that it may be laundered and worn on either side and presents the same appearance. The goods may be. either plain or striped, and presents the same finish on both sides.
Referring to Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, the reversible cuff is shown as being attached to an ordinary split sleeve 40. Initially, the sleeves are made of the ordinary barrel shape and slitted longitudinally at their ends to provide plackets. The opposite edges, thus formed, are bound with identical facing strips or tapes 4I extending beyond the edges made by the slits and overlapping each other, as clearly shown in Figs. 4 and 5. These bound edges differ from the taped edges of the ordinary negligee shirts in that both the inner and outer tapes are identical, when viewed from the inside or outside of the sleeve, and they overlap when the sleeve is reversed.
The novel cuff is here shown as being made of three separate strips or plies. Identical cuff attaching strips or plies 42 and 43 are stitched at their upper edges to the lower gathered or pleated end of the sleeve. Each of these strips provides a hinge leaf for a single face ply 44 forming the dress face of the cuff. The ply 44 is stitched at its edges to the lower or free edges of the hinge strips 42 and 43. Referring to Fig. 6, it will be noted that the strip 42 is the hinge leaf with the cui ply 44 on the outside and the strip 42 on the inside. When the cuff is reversed, so that the ply 44 is on the opposite side, the strip 42 constitutes the hinge leaf; while the strip 43 then becomes the inside face. Thus, it is necessary only to swing the cuff through 180 on one or the other of the strips 42 and 43 to expose the same face of the dress band on either side. v
Referring to Figs. 2 and 3, the upper halves of l the two strips 42 and 43 are adapted to lie flat at all times. 'The lowerhalves of both strips 42 'arid 43 extend beyond the stitched ends of the upper halves and are stitched together at their meeting edges 45 on the inside and this extension provides a tab 46 for a button hole 41 on the line of stitchf ing. At the opposite end of the cuff, the upper halves of strips 42 and 43 are cut off at an angle extending downwardly and inwardly, at 48, to a distance substantially equal to the width of the facing strip or tape 4| at that end. These biased edges are stitched together on the inside to conceal the stitching. The lower ,halves of the two,
strips are then cut straight and stitched to the band 44 by a row of outside stitching. A button 49 is sewed on the outside of the cuff ply at the hinge line and on the main body portion. It will thus be seen that the arrangement of stitching of the upper and lower halves of the leaf plies 42 and 43 enables the cuff to be reversed and form a natural hinge of the respective leaves along the longitudinal center line between the button hole and button. This avoids an unsightly central line of stitching to form a hinge, and saves one operation.
It will be observed that the button hole tab 46 overlaps the opposite end of the cuff ply when the cui is buttoned (see Fig. 1). Of course, the tab may be made of any suitable shape. It will also be observed that the overlapping tab conceals the biased edge 48 below the inside placket tape.
From the foregoing description, it will be seen that the improved reversible cuff is substantially identical in appearance on both sides. It is very easy and simple to manufacture, and presents a neat appearance. It can be made of a minimum amount of material.
Obviously, the present invention is not restricted to the particular embodiment thereof herein shown and described. Moreover, it is not indispensable that all the features of the invention be used conjointly, since they may be employed advantageously in various combinations and sub-combinations.
What is claimed is:
1. In combination with a reversible split sleeve, substantially identical overlapping facing strips on the placket edges; and a reversible barrel cuff hinged on its longitudinal median line around the sleeve to expose the same dress face when the sleeve and cuff are reversed, one end of the cuff terminating adjacent to one side of the placket facings and the other end of the cuff presenting 5 a fastening tab extending beyond the placket facings.
2. In combination with a reversible split sleeve, substantially identical overlapping facing strips on the placket edges; a reversible barrel cui hinged on its longitudinal median line around the sleeve to expose the same dress face when the sleeve and cui are reversed, one end of the cuff terminating adjacent to one: side of the placket facings and the other end of the cuff presenting a fastening tab extending beyond the placket facings; and permanent fastening means on said cuff ends.
3. In combination with a reversible split sleeve, substantially identical overlapping facing strips on the placket edges; a pair of hinge strips secured to the end of the sleeve; a barrel'cuif ply hingedly secured substantiallyV along its longitudinal median line around the sleeve to said hinge strips to expose the same dress face When the sleeve and cuff ply are reversed, one end of the cuff terminating short of the edge of the adjacent placket facing and the other end of the va cuff ply secured at its opposite edges to the free edges of the hinge plies and of substantially the same Width as said hinge plies; said hinge plies each being stitched to the inner face of the cuff ply at the ends so that each forms an inner lining or backing for approximately half of the cui ply; said cuff ply at one end terminating short of the placket facing strips with the corresponding ends of the hinge plies cut away from the edge of the placket facing to the end of the cuff ply near its median line; the other end of the cuff ply presenting a button hole tab extending beyond the adjacent placket facing strip with the corresponding ends of the hinge plies forming an extension of the open edge of the facing strip to a point near the median line of the cuff ply; and permanent fastening means on the cuil ends.
