HEN FLY KESSLER- INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Sept. 15, 1942 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CONSTRUCTION OF GARMENTS Henry Kessler, New York, N. Y. Application July 15, 1941, Serial No. 402,446

Claims.

This invention relates to garment linings having detachable sleeves, and an object of this invention is to provide a detachable sleeve having a shoulder extension positioned within the armhole of the lining and causing the shoulder portion of the lining at the armhole to be in superimposed relation with the shoulder extension, the sleeve being connected only at two points with the edge portions defining the armhole and continuing upwardly over the shoulder to form a continuous covering for the arm and shoulder of the wearer.

Another object of this invention is to provide a snap fastener member at the upper end of the shoulder extension and two snap fastener members at opposite sides of the said extension and in spaced-apart relation below the upper snap fastener member, and to provide complementary snap fastener members on the inner surface of the lining, whereby the sleeve is detachably connected at three points above the middle of the armhole and without the formation of a continuous seam directly at the upper edge portions defining the armhole.

Another object of this invention is to provide a sleeve made of chamois or like non-porous material, and having a substantially porous woven fabric facing, and to form interstitial air spaces in the chamois section of the sleeve extension to permit ventilation from the space around the upper portion of the lining outwardly of the garment through the woven fabric facing.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention will be hereinafter more particularly described, and the combination and arrangement of parts will be shown in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims which form part of this specification.

Reference will now be had to the drawings, wherein like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, in which:

Figure 1 is a view of an overcoat, looking toward the inside, and showing the full lining detached from the overcoat.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the lining.

Figure 3 is a view of a fragmentary portion of a sleeve having a shoulder extension.

Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view, the section being taken as on line 4-4 in Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a view of a fragmentary portion of a modified sleeve.

Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view, being taken as on line 6-43 in Figure 5.

the section binding 21 secured thereto by stitching 22.

In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the numeral ill indicates an overcoat having fronts H and inner facings 12. The facings are secured to the body fabric a distance from their inner edges by stitching I3 to form flaps l4 extending all around the overcoat.

A tape (not shown) is secured to the underside of the flaps l4 and carries a strip of slide fastener elements l5 which is normally concealed from view by the flaps.

The lining I6 carries a complementary strip of slide fastener elements I! extending all around its outer edges and which are designed to interengage with the slide fastener elements It. The lining l6 may thus be detachably connected to the body of the overcoat.

This invention relates particularly to sleeves I8 which are detachably connected to the upper or shoulder portions of armholes IS in the lining I6.

As shown in Figures 3 and 4, each sleeve l8 has been formed with an upper or shoulder extension 20. The extensions 20 form integral continuations of the fabric covering the arms of the wearer and are designed to be positioned within the armholes I9. The shoulder portions of the lining at the armholes are in superimposed relation with the shoulder extensions 20.

The armhole portion of the sleeve 18 has a A snap fastener member 23 is secured to the upper end portion of the shoulder extension 2%]. Two snap fastener members 24 are secured at opposite sides of the shoulder extension and in spacedapart relation below the upper snap fastener member 23.

As best shown in Figure 4, the sleeve I8 is made of an outer layer of chamois or like nonporous material 25, and a substantially porous woven fabric facing 26. The chamois layer 25 of the shoulder extension 2!] has apertures 21 therethrough. The apertures 21 provide interstitial air spaces to permit ventilation from the space around the upper portion of the lining outwardly of the garment through the woven fabric facing 26 and facilitate dissipating surface heat generated by the body of the wearer.

The shoulder portion of the armhole 19 has complementary

snap fastener members

23, 24, positioned so as to interlock with the snap fastener members on the shoulder extension 20. The extension 20 reinforces the junction at the armhole against pulling out of the sleeve fabric between the snap fastener members 24. The continuity of the fabric over the shoulder and over the arm of the wearer sleeve effect.

Figures and 6 show a modified sleeve l8 having a shoulder extension 20' to which a netted fabric 30 is secured by a binding 2| and stitching 22 and 32 to the chamois or body layer 25. The sleeve H! has a substantially porous woven fabric facing 26 and

snap fastener members

23 and 24.

It will thus be seen that there has been provided a localized, non-extended or non-continuous detachable connection between each sleeve and the lining body. This localized connection provides passage space between the sleeve and lining body all around the armhole without the possibility of the sleeve fabric being pulled away from or out of the lining body at the armhole junction.

It is to be noted that the fabric 30 may be made of elastic material which will permit the shoulder extension 20 to yield and conformto the contour of the shoulder of the wearer.

In accordance with the patent statutes I have described and illustrated the preferred embodiment of my invention, but it will be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

I claim:

1. In a lining having sleeve openings, detachable sleeves for said lining each comprising an upper extension adapted to enter into said sleeve opening with the upper portion of said lining at said sleeve opening in superimposed relation, a snap fastener positioned at the upper end of said extension, two snap fasteners positioned at opposite sides of said sleeve extension and below said upper snap fastener, the inner surface of said lining having complementary snap fasteners, one of which is positioned in considerably spaced relation inwardly of said arm hole and two snap fasteners positioned at the edge portions defining said arm hole, and apertures in said sleeve extension to permit ventilation from the upper portion of said lining outwardly of said garment.
