Patented Dec. 14, 1937 I UNITED STATES 2,102,058 PATENT OFFICE comma Adolf Olosmann, Leipzig, Germany, assignor to Atlas Ago Chemische Fabrik, Aktien-Gesellschaft, Molkau, near Leipzig, Germany, a corporation of Germany Application April 18, 1936, Serial N0. 75.045 In Germany November 25, 1935 4 Claims. (Cl. 2-136) The present invention relates to collars and,
more particularly, to a collar of a reinforced character having greatly increased strength and improved wearing qualities.
5 Heretofore, collars of the conventional type.
holes have been exposed to considerable forces and have been easily torn due to the circum- 15 stance that the lower part of conventional collars could not yield in view of the closing or looking efiect of the collar button while the upper portion of the collar yielded readily to the. same forces. This difference in the displacement of the upper 20 and the lower-part caused great tension at the bending edges and at the edges of the button holes and frequently led to tearing of the material. Once the surface of .the material constituting the collar was broken or torn to any lim- 25 ited extent, weak points exposed to perspiration and collecting dirt have been provided which rapidly destroyed the collar. This disadvantage was particularly troublesome in conventional paper collars which due to their inferior strength 30 have been particularly exposed to quick-destructionafter a relatively ,short useful life. Although many suggestions and proposals have been made to eliminate ,this inconvenience and to solve this vexatious problem, none, as far as I am 3 aware, of these various suggestions and proposals has been completely satisfactory and successful when carried into practice on a commercial and industrial scale. I have discovered that the problem may be 4 solved in a remarkably simple manner and that an improved collar may be provided which is substantially free from the disadvantages referred to hereinabove.
It is an object of the present invention to pro- 5 vide a collar of an improved and reinforced character which prevents breaking, tearing of the material of the collar at the points exposed to the greatest stresses and which has a useful life several times longer than that of conventional 50 collars.
It is another object of the invention to provide an improved collar having reinforced folding edges and button holes so that tearing at these danger points is'effectively prevented.
.55 The invention also contemplates an improved collar of superior strength which. may be readily manufactured from low-pricedmaterials such as paper, cardboard and the like on a quantity. prochinery.
duction scale and by means of existing e-- Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which: a
Fig. 1 illustrates a front elevational view of 5 collar embodying the principles of the present invention showing the reinforcing portions in an unassembled condition.
Fig. 2 depicts a front elevational view of the collar shown in Fig. 1 after its assembly is finished and the product is ready for wearing.
Broadly stated, according to the principles of the invention, reinforcing portions are provided on the body of the collar particularly at the lateral cutting edges or comers and around the button holes. These reinforcing portions preferably double or treble the thickness and strength of the collar material at the exposed points and edges so that they are capable of resisting considerable forces of a shearing or tearing char'acter. The extension pieces are, preferably, provided integrally with the body of the collar in the form of extension pieces at the lateral ends of the collar body and the collar tongues. In practical operation the body portion and the extension pieces of the collar may be cut or stamped out of a single sheet of a suitable material as, for example, a suitable composite paper sheet or board. Shallow grooves may be provided along the folding lines in orderto facilitate folding back these extension pieces which are subsequently cemented to the corresponding surfaces of the body portion of the collar. It is essential that the extension portions to be folded back and cemented to the body portion or neck-band of the collar should exactly conform with the edges of the body portion and the button holes on the extension pieces have to exactly conform and register with the button holes proper on: the neck band or body portion. of the collar. A separate extension piece is, preferably, provided for the-- upper or folding portion of the collar and for the lower or neckband portion of the collar, the extension pieces of the upper and lower portions having such form as to slightly overlap. Thus, when 4} first the extension of the neckband portion or tongue bearing the button hole is bent back and cemented and subsequently the extension of the upper or folding portion, the overlapping portion of the lower extension piece will be safely locked by means of the bent back and cementedexten- 'sion piece of the upper portion of the collar. This locking effect on the inner edges of the collar is especially valuable and advantageous in paper collars, particularly in paper collars manufactored of the composite material disclosed in my copending application Serial No. 64,343, filed February 17, 1936.
' The invention will now be more fully explained to those skilledin the art in conjunction with a no preferred embodiment and the accompanying drawing.
Referring now more particularly to Fig. 1, a
collar having a lower or neckband portion I and an upper or folding portion 2 is illustrated. But ton holes l0 and Ii are provided at the two ends or tongues I and 8 of the neckband portion in the conventional manner. pieces 3, 4 and 5, 5 are provided for the ends of the upper and lower portions, respectively, the extension pieces 5, 6 of the neck portion having such form as to accurately conform to the edges of tongue portions I and 8. Extension pieces 5 and 6 are provided with button holes 9 and I2 which exactly register with the button holes proper when the extension pieces are folded back along lines [5 and Hi. The extension pieces 3 and 4 of the folding portion of the collar may be folded back along lines l3 and I4 and cemented to the body of the collar same as the extension pieces 5 and 6.
When the collar is first assembled the extension pieces 5 and 6 are folded back along lines l5 and I8 and cemented to the body of the collar, and subsequently extension pieces 3 and 4 along lines l3 and I4. Thus, the lower edge of extension pieces 3 and 4 will overlap and in part cover the tips I! and I8 of extension pieces 5 and 5 whereby a reinforcing and locking effect will be provided. It will be noted that the material will have double thickness and double strength around the button holes and around the lateral edges of the folding portion and will have treble thickness and strength at H and i8 where the stresses and therefore the danger of tearing the collar is the greatest. This selective reinforcement of different portions of the collar in accordance with the stresses to be withstood is an exclusive feature of the present invention and is clearly illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawing showing the collar embodying the principles of the invention in its finished form. In view of the simplicity of the structure and in view of the fact that identical reference numerals have been used to denote corresponding parts of Figs. 1 and 2, the finished product will be readily understood by those skilled in the art without further detailed explanation.
It is to be noted that the collar according to the invention is selectively reinforced at the points most exposed to the danger of tearing so that the principal disadvantage of conventional collars and particularly of paper collars has been successfully eliminated.
It is also to be observed that the reinforcement of the collar at the specified points has the additional advantage of increasing the stability of the collar and maintains the attractive appearance of the' collar during wearing.
It is also noted that the collar according to the invention has no sharp and cut edges but all of the edges which are visible during wearing the collar have folded back and doubled edges whereby the impression of a real starched linen collar is closely simulated.-
Although I have described my invention in connection with a preferred embodiment thereof, many variations and modifications may be resorted to by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the invention. I consider all of these variations and modifications as within the true spirit and scope of the invention as disclosed in the present specification and defined by the appended claims,
