NECKSCARF.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 239,695, dated April 5, 1881. Application filed January "1, 1880.

To all whom t'tmay concern:

Be it known that'we, FRANK BALDWIN, of the city, county, and State of New York, and HOWARD SELVAGE, of Brooklym'E. D., in the county of Kings and Stateof New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Scarfs, of which the following is a specification.

Figure 1 is a plan View of the improvement unfolded. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same folded. Fig. 3 is a rear view of the same folded. Fig.4.isa sectional view taken through the line 00 m, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. v

The object of this invention is to furnish scarfs so constructed that they can be folded in different ways, and will present a fresh wearing-surface each time. l

The invention consists in constructing the scarf -shield with "angular ends to serve as guides infolding the aprons, and a central opening to receive thehook of the neckband, and also in forming the scarf of two shields, one upon each side, two aprons attached to the ends of the shields, and two flaps attached to the upper and lower edges of the shields, as will be hereinafter fully described.

A represents the shield or center piece of the scarf, to the end parts of which are attached the inner ends of the aprons B. To the upper and lower edges of the shield A are attached flaps O, which are made a little longer than half the depth of the shield A, so as to overlap each other when folded. The scarf is made with a shield, A, upon each side of its center piece, as shown in Fig. 4. The shields A are made with angular ends, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, and with oval or other shaped holes in their centers.

D is the neckband, which has a hook, E, swiveled to one end, to hook upon the inner edge of the shield A. The other end of the neckband D is secured by a pin, F, in the usual way.

With this construction the inclined sides of the end angles of the shields A serve as guides in folding the aprons B, as shown in Fig. 3.

In using the scarf the flaps G are folded, the upper one over the lower one, and the aprons B are folded down across each other, the fold being in line with the upper inclined sides of the end angles of the shields A. When the or soiled, the lower flap O is folded over the upper one, and the aprons B are folded along the inclined lower sides of the angles of the shields A. The neckband D is detached and inserted at the lower side of the angle at the other end of the shield A. The scarf is now reversed, and what was the upper side of the shield has become the lower side. When the folded edge of the upper flap O becomes worn or soiled, the flaps O and aprons B are folded down upon the other side of the center piece, and two adjustments may be then made in the same way as hereinbefore described. In this case the neckband D must be connected with the other shield A.

With this construction the scarf will wear four times as long as a single scarf.

The opposite sides of the aprops B and flaps C may be covered with dilferently figured goods, or with different goods, so as to have the appearance of being different scarfs when folded down upon the opposite sides of the shield A.

If desired, the flaps 0 may be made in one piece and permanently attached to one side of the shield A.

With this construction the aprons B can be folded down upon only one side of the shield A, giving two adjustments instead of four, as before described.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- -1. In a scarf, the shield A, made with angular ends and a central opening, substantially as herein shown and described, the inclined sides of the ends of the shield serving upper folded edge of the flap 0 becomes worn as guides in folding the aprons B, and the the upper and lower edges of the shields A, the opening, substantially as shown and desubstantially as herein shown and described, scribed.

to allow the flaps O to be folded down upon FRANK BALDWIN.
