Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages by making a collar, collar band and/or a shirt neck band, in such a way that it or they may yield to all movements of the neck, or to the tensions o-r stresses occasio-ned when such wearing apparel is being fastened in wearing position, and in which the collar band or the like will not become creased.
  • the inventio-n principally consists in an extensible collar, collar band and/or neck band which is made extensible along or adjacent the line or the stud opening or openings, by interweaving or interknitting a number of elastic threads in the fabric.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective View of the invention as applied to a double or turnover collar.
  • Figure 2 is a similar view oi' a shirt neck band made in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 3 is a vertical transverse section taken on the line 3 3 of Figure l.
  • Figure 4 is a similar section taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 2.
  • Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary view of a weave which is employed when applying the invention.
  • Figure 6 is a perspective View of a collar according to the invention, which is permanently attached to the shirt.
  • Figure '7 is a vertical transverse section taken on the line- 1 1 of Figure 6, and
  • Figure 8 is a View similar to Figure 5 of a modified weave.
  • the collar consists of two strips of material a and b, one a comprising the outer turndown side of the collar, and the other b co-nsisting of the inside band which comes next to the neck of the wearer.
  • the outer band w is formed of the usual woven or knitted material, so as to match, or not, with the body of the shirt, and is shown in Figure 3 as being formed in two thicknesses as usual. The ends are cut to form turn-down points, and one of such points are shown: in Figure l as turned up to show the end of the inner band b.
  • the inner band b comprises one or more thicknesses of material oi woven or knitted character, two such thicknesses being shown in Figure 4.
  • this inner band shall be extensible it has, when it is Woven, some or all of the warp and/o1 some or all of the weft threads thereof formed of elastic threads of a suitable degree of thickness, or such threads may be as iine as those of cotton, silk, wool or the like, and may either be left bare or covered with cotton, silk or the like.
  • the upper edge of the inner band b is attached as shown at d to the turned over edge of the material forming the front or the outer band af, so that the two are firmly secured together each along one edge.
  • the free other edges of the inner and outer band are made with a suitable hem so as to form a smooth edge as seen in Figure 3.
  • the shirt neck band c sho-wn in Figure 4 and attached at e tothe shirt is made in a manner similar to the inner band b, i. e. it is made eXtensible by interweaving or interknitting elastic or rubber threads with the usual non-extensible threads thereof.
  • the collar thus made may be left either soft or finished with a suitable dressing of starch so that it may possess stiffness.
  • the turn-down points may be fitted as shown in Figure 1 with securing loops or tabs c, which are also made with an elastic Weave or knit, similarly to that adopted for the body part of the collar.
  • the inner bland b o-r neck band c is made with all or some of the warp threads, that is to say, those which run longitudinally of the band, of rubber, or may otherwise be rendered elastic.
  • the warp threads f are woven with the weft threads g, but one in every four of the warp threads f is made elastic, as shown at h in a thick line, so that the necessary extensibility will be given to the band of material.
  • one elastic warp in every four is preferred in most cases, the arrangement is not necessarily limited to this as i in other cases a lesser or a greater number of elastic warps may be used. It will, however, be
  • some of the warps and some of the wefts may be of an elastic character, so that not only may the amount of extensibility be controlled, but its direction also be influenced.
  • this illustrates Ithe invention as applied to a collar which isv permanently attached to the shirt, and, in this case, the inner band b is attached by one edge as by sewing at lol to the top edge l of the neck opening of the shirt.
  • the other edge of the inner band is attached as at m to the turnover edge',-
  • the end portions of the outer side of the inner band b may be tipped or covered as at n, with material to match either in color or texture the outer band a, so that the lshirt and collar present a neat appearance when being worn.
  • the inner and/or outer band may be provided with an insertion between the layers form- If and When desired, such a reinforcing band may be of an elastic character, so as to prevent the Yformation of any creases, which is of special importance in the outer band.
  • the inventionY may be apmaterial, and either turnover or not. In such a case it would be made as shown in Figure 8 with weave having a non-extensible zone o and an extensible Zone pformed by the elastic or rubber warps y. If used as a double collar the nonextensible zone may be bent over or creased along the line q.
  • Improved collar comprising in combination, an outer fold of non-stretchable fabric, an'inner fold of permanently elastic stretchable fabric, both folds being attachcd'together along their adjacent edges, a shirt, a neck band thereon of.
  • Vstretchable fabric and means for securing one edge of the inner fold to the neck band, the elastic stretchable fabric permitting of extension when' the inner fold of the collar is being secured in position.
  • Improved collar comprising in combination, an outer fold of non-stretchable fabric, aninner fold of fabric longitudinally permanently stretchable throughout its thickness and 'the surfaces of which are flat, both folds being secured togetherV along their adjacent edgesA and a shirt with the inner fold, the arrangement being such that when fastening the ends of the collar, the inner fold may stretch.
  • Improved collar comprising in combination, an outer fold of non-stretchable fabric, an inner fold of permanently elastic stretchable fabric, both folds being secured together along their adjacent edges, a shirtV and means for securing one edge of the inner fold thereto in order that the inner fold may be stretched inthe direction of THOMAS LEWIS SHEPHERD.
