1 claim. 01, 1551-182) This invention relates to improvements in furniture slip covers.
In themanufa'cture of ready madeslip covers of the so-called one-piece construction which are intended to fit over-stuffedarticles of furniture varying-in size and style,'considerable difiiculty has been experienced heretofore in so making the covers that they smoothly fit and cover the articles of furniture at the junctureof the inner forwardportions' of the arms and the seat portions. Such covers'are generally provided with surplus material-adapted to be tucked into the. spaces at the juncture ofthe arms and backs of the chair or davenport, as well as surplus mate,- rial to be tucked into the spaces between the seat portions and the arms and lower portions of the back for'holding the covers in adjusted position on the articles. The front or drop of the covers have heretofore generally been made of substantially the same transverse length as the forward transverse edge of theseat cover portion and attached throughout their length theretoand where such seat cover portions were longer than the corresponding portions of the articles on which'they were placed, the covers fitted poorly at the lateral sides of the drops where they joined the, respective arm cover sections,
For improving the fitting of the cover at the places mentioned, covermanufacturers frequently have left the lateral vertical edges of the drop free, that is,unattached to the arm cover sections and the purchasers were advised to either sew them in place after fitting the same to their chairs or to attach them by pinning or by snap fasteners. In many such instances, a cover fitted the chair or davenport unsatisfacto-rily along the front thereof where the" article was of a size smaller than the maximum size on which the cover could be used, since while the surplus material of the seat cover portion could be tucked into'the space at the sides of the arm, no means were available for taking up'the corresponding surplus material of the drop of the cover and as a result, this portion of such covers frequently lacked the smooth, snug fit that is desirable.
It is anobject of the present invention to provide a slip cover so constructed that surplus material of the drop or front portion of the cover canbe adjusted effectively to the length required to provide, in conjunction with the arm cover sections, -a neat fit atythe forward portion of the article whether such article is of a size smaller than the maximum size on which such I cover might be used or is of the maximum size.
In the drawing:
Fig, '1 is a perspective view of 'a'club chair having one of the improved covers thereon; and
Fig. 2 is anenlarged perspective view of one corner of an improved cover showing the improved drop take-up construction whereby the cover canbe fitted neatly to undersized chairs at the junction of the drop with the arm cover sections;
In the drawing, a chair II] of conventional type-is shown having thereon a' so-called oneplus material at the rear of the cover portion l3 whereby the same may be tucked downwardly into the space at the rear of the seat portion l5.
' The drop I4 is shown as being connected to the seat cover portion I3 by a seam. I6, this seam terminating, however, short of the ends of the drop as shown clearly in Fig. 2. This construc-. tion leaves a free portion I4a at each end of the drop I4 which is unattached to the seat cover portion I3.
With this construction, it willbe obvious that in tucking the surplus material provided at the junction of anarm cover section I2 and seat,
cover section I3 downwardly into the space at the side of the. seat IS, the end-portions Illa of the drop I 4 will not be drawn'into such space and thereby necessarily be wrinkled, thus making an un-neat fitting drop but, on,;the contrary, such surplus material can be tucked downwardly into the spaces mentioned independently of the:
end portions I la of the drop. The amount of material available-for. tucking down into such space depends, of course, upon'the width of a particular chair on which the cover is to be fitted. Thus, the free portions 140., are of a width sufficient to enable the maximum amount of such surplus material to be tucked down into such spaces without drawing or wrinkling the drop M. i
I As shown in Fig 'l, when the material has been tucked into such spaces, the free, end portions I4a of the drop I4 are inserted beneath the front portions I2a of the arm cover sections I2, in which position they may be secured to the portions In by any suitable means such as snap fasteners I! or they may be actually sewed in which cover the upholstery of the article of furniture along the upper edge of the free portions Ma. In Fig, 2, the cover is shown extended to its maximum extent, it being understood that in fitting such cover even to a chair of the 'maximum width, some of the material at the juncture of the arm cover sections I2 and the seat cover section l3 will be tucked into the lateral spaces at the sides of the seat !5, thus eifecting the disposition of the vertical edges of the free portions I ia beneath the front portions I20, of the respective arm covers l2.
This construction provides an unwrinkled and neat-fitting cover along the vertical edges o'fthe drop- IQ whether the cover befitted to a chair of the maximum size which it is adapted or designed to fit or an intermediate or minimum size article of furniture which would not be the case were the free end portions Ma of the drop secured to the cover section is by extending the seam It to the ends of the drop as hasbeen general practice heretofore.
While I have shown and described an'ernbodiment of my improvements for the purpose of illustration, I do not wishto be restricted specifically thereto since variations may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the inventionas defined by the appended claim.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A slip cover for articles of furniture difiering in size comprising a seat cover section, arm cover sections secured thereto, a drop for covering the'fron't of the article between said arm cover sections, said drop being attached to the seat cover section at the intermediate portion of the upper horizontal edge and unattached thereto at the end portions. of such edge to provide free end portions whereby the lateral portions of the seat cover section along the junction of the same with the arm cover sections can be tucked downwardly along the lateral sides of the seat of the article independently of said free end portions of said drop, said free end portions extending laterally sufiiciently to enable the same to be disposed in, overlapping relation with the respective arm cover sections and to be attached thereto, a flap extending downwardly from o the forward edge of the seat cover section ad-* jacent each free end portion of the drop and each adapted to be overlapped by one of said free end portions.
