Patented Nov. 26, 1940 Eugene Cogburn, Atlanta, Ga, assignor to Amer ican Associated Companies, Atlanta, Ga, a, corporation of Georgia Application August 12, 1939, Serial No; 289,889 Y 1 Claim.
This invention relates to improvements in garments of the protective type, such as hair.
gowns used by barbers.
The object of the invention, primarily, is to provide a garment, such as a hair gown, that can be used on individuals having different neck sizes while, at the same time, permitting the garment to be closely fitted around ones neck and a hair gown, particularly for use by barbers, I
wherein a plurality of fastening elements'are provided at each side of the neck opening, with the elements at one side spaced apart from each other a distance greater than the spacing of the elements at the other side, whereby the elements on the first side will span a number of the elements of the second side, thus holding the two edges overlapped or closed for an appreciable distance downwardly from the back of the wearers neck.
With-these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain details of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, all as will hereinafter be more fully described, and the novel features thereof particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawing- Figure l is a perspective View illustrating a protective garment of the character described, the intermediate portion of the garment having been broken away; and
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the garment with the neck opening closed.
In the use of certain types of protective garments, such as hair gowns used by barbers in cutting ones hair, it is quite difficult to fit the ordinary gown around the patrons neck so as to preclude the cut hair gaining access to the patrons fieshimmediately below the neck. It has heretofore been proposed to provide garments of this type with adjustable neck openings, whereby the garment could be closely fitted around the patrons neck, regardless of the neck size of the patron, but none of these garments with the adjustable neck openings has. been capable of completely protecting the patrons flesh at the back of the neck due 'to the fact that none of them has been provided with means for holdin the garment closed for any appreciable distance downwardly from the back of the neck. Thus, even with these prior garments having adjustable neck openings, the cut hair has free access to the patrons flesh over a considerable area immediately below and at the rear of his 5 neck. In the present gown, means are provided for holding the opposite edges of the neck opening overlapped and closed for quite some length at the rear and below the patrons neck. In the preferred embodiment illustrated in the 1 drawing, the garment II] is provided with a neck opening H which, as illustrated, but not necessarily, extends into the body of the gown from one edge thereof. The opposite edges of this opening are provided with fasteningelements for 15 holding the opening closed, as illustrated in Fig. 2. Preferably, these fastening elements consist of cooperating snap fasteners, the elements at one side of the opening being illustrated more, or less diagrammatically at l2, and the elements 20 at the other side of the opening being indicated at [3, I3 There are a comparatively large number of elements l2 at the one sideof the opening, with the elements arranged rather close together so that, by engaging the element [3 with one of the elements I2, the neck opening can be closed and made of any one of a number of sizes depending upon which one of the elements I2 is used. Thus, the neck opening may be said to be adjustable in the sense that it can be closely fitted around the different patrons necks, regardless, of variations in thesize of the individuals neck. When the neck opening is thus closed by engaging the fastening element [3 with one of the elements [2, the garment is placed under some strain, with the result that its edge portions, merging into the neck opening, tend to flare open, as indicated by the dot-and-dash lines I4, in Fig. 2. Due to this flaring of these edge portions, the wearers flesh immediately below the back of the neck is left exposed, so that cut hair may freelyfall thereon. To eliminate this fault which is found in the ordinary protective garment having the adjustable neck opening, the present garment is provided. at the side of neck opening opposite the fastening elements l2 with the second fastening element l3 which, as will be noted, is spaced from the fastening element l3 so that the two elements It, l3 may bridge or span more than two and, preferably, quite a few, of the elements [2. Consequently, when the two elements I3, [3, at the one side of the neck opening, are engaged with two of the elements l2 at the opposite side of the neck opening, as 56 I illustrated in Fig. 2, the edges of the neck opening are overlapped and held closed throughout a considerable distance of their length from the point at which the element l3 engages one of the elements l2. In other words, this overlapping of the edges of the neck opening closes the.
edge portions of the garment at the back of the neck, so that, in the use of the garment by a barber, the wearers neck is completely protected from falling, cut hair.
What I claim is:
A hair gown having an adjustable neck open- 5 ing therein, two widely spaced fastening elements along one edge of said opening, and a series of more closely spaced fastening elements along the opposite edge of said opening, said series extending along'said opening a distance greater 10 than that between said two elements whereby the size of said opening can be varied and the back of the wearers neck properly protected for an appreciable distance by engaging said two elements with different pairs of correspondingly spaced elements in said series of elements.
EUGENE COGBURN.
