SHIRT SUIT Filed March 25, 1938 July E6, 1940.
INVENTOR Inks ATTORNEY Patented July 16, 1940 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application March 25,
3 Claims.
This invention relates to garments in general, and particularly to a combination garment, consisting of an upper or shirt member and a lower or trunk member, adapted to be worn together either as an under garment or as top or sport garment, when desired.
One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a shirt suit consisting of an upper shirt member, which terminates at the waist line, and a lower garment,`in the form of trunks, which starts at the waist; the waist lines of both garments may overlap with one another.
Another object of my invention is to provide both garment members with a moisture absorbing lining at all places subjected to being soiled or made unsightly by the penetration of perspiration to the outer surface of the garment, and wherein certain portions of the garment, especially subject to being soiled by perspiration, are provided with a moistureproof or moisture resisting interlayer so arranged and connected with the absorbent lining that it will prevent the penetration of perspiration to the outer material of the garment.
Another object of my invention is to provide the moistureproof interlayer at the arm pits of the garments with perforations to facilitate breathing or evaporation of the perspiration, without permitting the latter to penetrate to without.
Another object of my invention is to so con struct and combine the moistureproof interlayer with the lining that the edges of the lining are turned about themself along the edges of the interlayer, and are attached to the latter at its edges in such a way as to form thickened, moisture absorbing edge areas, capable of retaining relatively large amounts of moisture, and which will elfectively prevent the spread of perspiration beyond these overlapped edges of the lining.
The foregoing and still further objects and important advantages of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the ensuing description, in connection with the accompany-` ing drawing, in which latter, v
Fig. l illustrates a complete shirt suit, in ac'- cordance with my invention., provided with long sleeves, and intended to be worn by men.
Fig. 2 illustrates a similar shirt suit of a modified form, intended for wear by women. I
Fig. 3 is a detailed illustration of the upper or shirt member of my garment.A
Fig, 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional View there. through, taken on lines 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Fig, 5 is a cross-sectional View, taken on lines 1938, Serial No. 197,989
5--5 of Fig. 4, and illustrates the arm pit construction of my garment.
Fig. 6 is a rear View of the lower or trunk member of my garment, and
Fig. 7 is a vertical cross-sectional View of the 5 trunk member of my garment, taken on lines 'I-l of Fig. 6.
Figure 8 is a typical cross-sectional view taken on line 8-8 of Figures 4 and 6, showing the edge construction of the interlayer in relation to the 1o lining.
In the drawing, numerals IB and II indicate the two front portions of the upper or shirt member of my garment, which latter is provided with a collar I2, and from the side of l5 whic-h extend sleeves I3, which may be either long, as shown in Fig. l, or short, as shown at I3 in Fig. 2.
The shirt garment is tailored and its lower end terminates at the waist line, which latter takes 20 the form of an elastic belt I4, preferably buttonable at I5. The back I6 of the garment, shown in Fig. 4, connects with the front portions along seams Il, running down from the arm pits towards the waist band. The interior of the upper garment member is fully lined at the back and at the front with a moisture absorbing material, such as jersey cloth. This lining is intended to take the place of an under garment, usually worn under the top shirt. 30
Along the buttonable closure for front portions IIJ and II, extend sidewise thereto broad, continuous lining areas, which are provided, between the outer garment material and the lining, with moistureproof interlayers, clearly indicated at I8 in Fig. 4, Around and along the outer edges I9 of 4these interlayers, the lining is turned upon itself and engages both faces at the edge of the interlayers, thereby providing a thickening of the lining material where the moistureproof material terminates. Such construction may be readily observed from Fig. 5, wherein numeral 2U cle- A notes the outer garment material at the arm pit area, while numeral 2| indicates the lining material, and numeral 22 the moistureproof interlayer, This interlayer follows the contour of the garment material, and its outer edge is enclosed by the folded over layer of the lining, as clearly indicated at 23. This thickened portion of the lining material provides a generous moisture absorbing rim, and an effective stop against the spread of perspiration beyond that rim.
The moistureproof interlayers placed at `the front, as well as at the arm pits of the upper garment member, are designed to prevent pene- 55 ais tration of moisture through, and the soiling of the outer garment material at those portions which are usually exposed to an excessive amount of perspiration. The back portion of the garment is seldom affected, and therefore a moistureproof interlining is not absolutely required, although it may be provided.
The lower or trunk member of my shirt suit is equipped with a resilient belt Zit, buttonable at 25, from which latter point I preferably provide a talon fastener 26 for quickly opening and closing the lower garment. The buttoning facilities for mens trunks are preferably arranged at the center, as indicated in Fig. 1, while for womens trunks similar facilities are preferably disposed at the side, not shown in the drawing. However, it is advantageous that the talon fastener extend from the buttonable closure downwards, in either mens or womens trunks. Such talon fastener is indicated at 2l in Fig..2.
The interior of the trunks is lined with moisture absorbing material. The lining, in both mens and womens trunks, extends from the rear belt portion 28 to the front portion or portions 29, indicated in Figs. 6 and '7, and spreads sidewise from the vertical centre line of the garment along the crotch thereof, thereby forming a rather broad lining area. Between the lining, shown at 30 in Fig. 7, and the outer garment material 3i, there is inserted a moistureproof interlayer 32, the outer lonigtudinal edges of which are again overlapped by the doubled edges of the lining, as indicated at 33 in Fig. 6, whereby a thickened moisture absorbing edge formation is produced.
Similarly to the function of the moisture absorbing rim 23, provided at the outer edgesof the arm pit linings, the edge construction of the trunks lining serves for stopping excess perspiration. However, the trunks lining has the additional function of absorbing not only the excess perspiration of the lower body, but of absorbing and arresting the perspiration coming from the lining of the upper garment. In this manner the lining of the lower garment cooperates and forms a continuation of the lining ofthe upper garment. k
The elastic waist belt of both garment members are especially designed for the purpose of permitting the use of the garments by persons of differently waist lines. This facilitates and makes less expensive the production of my shirt suit. inasmuch as it obviates the necessity of providing garments of many different sizes. By effectively tailoring the upper as well as the lower garment members, and by equipping them with elastic belts at their waist lines, the sizes required to be manufactured and held in stock are reduced to perhaps three, or at most four, major patterns.
My shirt suit may -be utilized, especially during cold seasons, as an under garment with either long or short sleeves of the shirt member thereof,
or as a top or sport garment during warmer seasons. For womens wear a skirt, such as indicated at 34 in Fig. 2, may supplement my shirt suit and may be worn over the trunk member of the garment.
My garment is applicable to be worn by men, women and childremand because of its construction and arrangement, it eliminates the use of under garments, and especially of the under shirt, wherefore its initial and wearing' cost will be i found to be far less than the initial cost and theA upkeep of the usual under garments and top garments.
Due to the fact that both the upper and lower garment members are thoroughly tailored, they can be readily worn as outer garments and still look suciently dressy for sport wear. My suit is'most comfortable in wear, and each of its members may be worn separately, although I prefer that they be worn together. The sanitary lining of the trunks makes them especially practical for womens wear.
While the foregoing description and accompanying drawing deal with specific structures` of my invention, it is quite self -evident that changes and improvements may be brought about for the purpose of simplifying and cheapening the cost of its production, or for enhancing the appearance of my garment, and I therefore reserve for myself the right to make such changes and improvements, without departing from the broad scope of my invention, as defined in the annexed claims.
I claim:
l. In a shirt suit, an upper garment member, terminating at, and provided with a resilient, self-adjusting waist line, a lower garment member starting at, and also provided with a selfadjusting, resilient Waist line, the resilient waist lines of both members overlying and cooperating with one another, a moisture absorbing lining l provided at the front, the back and at the arm p-it areas of said upper garment member, and extending from the front to the back and covering the crotch area of the lower garment member, all of said lining being adapted to serve as a moisture absorbing spacer between the wearers ybody and the outer garment material, so as to prevent the latter from coming into contact with the body, and a moistureproof interlayer secured between the outer garment material and the lining at the front and arm pit areas of the upper garment member, and at the lining equipped area of the lower garment member, the lining of the lower garment member being adapted to form a cooperating continuation of the lining in the upper garment member, said shirt suit being adapted for wear as either an under garment or a top or sport garment, as desired.
2. In a shirt suit, two complementing members adapted tokbe joined at their waist line to produce a full garment, servingeither as underwear or as a top suit, the upper member comprising a tailored shirt, terminating at the waist linek and having a closing front, the full front areas adjacent to both closing edges of the shirt being provided with a moisture resisting interlayer rand a moisture absorbing inner lining, moisture absorbing lining extending from the front lining areas along both sides to the back of the shirt and covering the entire back area thereof, said lining also extending partially into the sleeves, a moistureproof interlayer arranged between the lining and the shirt material at the arm pit portions of the sleeves, said interlining being perforated; the lower member of the garment forming the trunks, extending from the waist line downwards, the Waist lines of both members being made of resilient belt material and being self adjustable, the belt of the trunks overlapping the belt of the shirt, a talon closure extending from the waist line of the trunks downwards, an absorbent lining provided with the trunks and extending from the back portion of the waist line to the front portion thereof and along'the crotch of the trunks, a
moisturejg'iroofr n'terlayer disposed beneath said lining, the edge of the latter being turned over upon themselves and enclosing the edges of the interlayer, the lining of the trunks forming a4 continuation of the shirt lining.
3. In a combination garment for Wear as either an under garment, or top or sport garment, cooperating upper and lower members adapted to terminate and to meet at their respective Waist lines, the latter being resilient, self-adjusting and overlying one another, moisture absorbing lining provided at the interior surfaces of the outer member forming a continuation of the lining of 10 the upper member.
