DRESS AND LIP PROTECTOR Filed Aug. 20, 1938 lNVENTOR 7HOM4f @AZPH 14R4CE BY ofwis W ATTORNEY Patented Dec. 5, 1939 UNITED STATES DRESS AND LIP PROTECTOR Thomas Ralph Arace, Irvington, N. 'J., assignor of one-half to N. Y.
Application August 20,
6 Claims.
The present invention relates to dress and lip protectors.
Up to the present time, the dress and lip protectors on the market have had serious defects in design which have prevented their widespread use and have increased materially the cost of their manufacture. have generally been bulky in form so as to be incapable of being packed flat. Some of them, moreover, have been so designed that their edges came in contact with the make-up on the lips and so removed some of the latter when the protector was taken off. v
One of the objects of the present invention is 16 to provide a dress and lip protector which will fold to lie flat so that a large number may be put in a pile or inserted into a dispensing device.
Another object is to provide a dress and lip protector having a tongue portion adapted to be inserted into the mouth and formed so that, when in working position, the lip protecting portions are entirely out of contact with the surface of the lips themselves and with the make-up which may be spread thereon.
A further object is to provide a special form of dress and lip protector which may be struck out from a folded sheet of material and. whose limiting edges are each rectilinear.
Still another object is to provide a special double dress and lip protector formed substantially of two superposed single protectors so that by'removing the outer protector a second inner protector is available for use.
Another object still is to provide a special 35 double dress and lip protector which may be struck from a single sheet of material by a die having the same form as the one used for making a single dress and lip protector.
Additional objects will appear in the course of the detailed description now to be given with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. 1 shows the preferred form of the invention in place on the mouth.
Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the dress and lip protector shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Fig. 4 illustrates how the sheet of material to be used as the dress and lip protector is to be folded and as it comes from the cutting die.
Fig. 5 is a development of the form of dress and lip protector shown in Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive and shows the lines upon which the device is to be folded.
Fig. 6 shows a second or double form of dress Dress and lip protectors Antoinette Sherri, New York,
1938, Serial No. 225,881
and lip protector folded as it comes fromthe die.
Fig. 7 is a development of the form of double lip protector represented in Fig. 6 and showing the lines upon which folding is to take place. 5 I
Fig. 8 illustrates how the double dress and lip protector shown in Figs. 6 and 7 is to be interfolded.
Fig. 9 is a top plan view of the finished double dress and lip protector as shown in Figs. 6 to 8 inclusive.
Fig. 10 is a rear View of the form of the invention represented in Fig. 9.
Referring to Figs. 1 to 5 of the drawing, there is shown the preferred form of the invention composed of a single piece of sheet material of truncated triangular shape 7 having rectilinear edges and which, in final form, has a boat-like shape. It includes a tongue portion 20 cut in from the truncated end of said sheet, and adapted to fit into the mouth and lip protecting 2| or wing portions 22 and 23 formed so as to completely clear the lips when in working position as shown in Fig. 2. A staple or binder 24 holds portions 2| and 22 together so that the folded de- 25 vice maintains its boat-like form. It will be noted that when the device is in position over the lips, an opening 25 is formed which permits the entrance of air for breathing. The device, when not in use, collapses or may be made to collapse so as to lie perfectly'flat, wing portions 2|, 22, and 23 lying in contact with tongue portion 20. The lines upon which the wing and tongue portions are folded are shown in Fig. 5. As seen from Figs. 1, 2, and 3 the edges of the boat shaped structure of said portions 2|, 22, and 23 are made concaved to conform to the contour about the lip regions of the face of the wearer.
The protectors may be sterilized and encased in a Cellophane wrapping or envelope to prevent contamination in handling. The fact that the protectors lie flat when packed is of considerable importance, since they may be piled one above the other in any convenient form of holder or dispenser. The flatness of the protectors is also of importance for saving space in shipment.
Referring to Figs. 6 to 10 inclusive, there is shown a second or double form of dress and lip protector identical in outward form when folded with the one already described. The developed protector is shown in Fig. 7 and includes a double tongue portion 39, 30' and lip protecting portions 3I--3l, and 3232' and 33-33 corresponding to portions 20, 2|, 22, and 23 in Fig. 5.
The developed protector as shown in Fig. '7 is struck out from a single piece of sheet material folded as shown in Fig. 6 and having an outline identical with the one shown in Fig. 4. The
manner in which the finished protector is formed is illustrated in Fig. 8. Tongue portions 30, 38' are folded back to back and the various lip protecting portions are interfolded to produce the boat-shape article shown in Figs. 9 to 10. A pair of clips or rivets 34 and 35 hold the various lip protecting or wing portions together as shown in Fig. 10. The final article has a double tongue portion 39, 38 and by tearing oil the outer one of the two interfolded elements, a protector similar to the one shown in Fig. 5 is obtained. It will be noted, since the outer form of the folded sheet material in Figs. 4 and 6 is the same they may be struck out from the same die.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that a dress andlip protector is provided which (1) may be held by the teeth, (2) completely clears the lip, and when not in use, (3) may be packed to lie perfectly fiat.
" Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
1. A dress and lip protector comprising a truncated triangular shaped sheet having slits extending in from the truncated end of said sheet to form a tongue therebetween, a lip protecting portion having Wing portions extending on opposite sides of the tongue, said wing portions being folded to overlap, said tongue being infolded to lie between the lip protecting portion and the overlapped wing portions, and means to secure said overlapping wing portions against separation to provide a boat shaped structure.
2. A dress and lip protector comprising sheet material cut and folded to provide a boat-like structure having a lip protecting portion forming one side of said structure and wing portions extending from saidlip protecting portion joined together to form the other side of said structure, the sheet material between said wing portions being shaped to provide a tongue portion and folded to project between said sides.
3. The dress and lip protector defined in claim 2 in which the folded portions of said structure permit the lip protecting portion .and the joined wing portions to lie fiat against the opposite side of the tongue portion when the protector is not in use.
4. A dress and lip protector construction comprising sheet material forming two abutting truncated triangular shaped members, each member having slits extending in from the abutting truncated ends of said members to form tongues therebetween, a lip protecting portion having wing portions extending on opposite side of each tongue, said tongues being infolded to extend between thelip protecting portions and the overlapped w'ing portions for providing superimposed boat shaped structures adapted to be separated by cutting apart said abutting ends at the tongue portions.
5. The dress and lip protector construction defined in claim said lip protecting and wing portions and tongues being made collapsible to lie fiat when the protectors are not in use.
6. A dress and lip protector construction comprising sheet material cut and folded to form a pair of nested boat shaped structurese'ach structure having a tongue portion underlying joined wing portions, said structure adapted to be severed at the tongue portions for separation;
THOMAS RALPH ARACE.
