Application August 17, 1944, Serial No. 549,929
1 Claim. 1
This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in button protectors, the principal object being to provide a button protector adapted for use by dry cleaners to protect buttons on garments during the process of cleaning or pressing.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following description.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the protector;
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the protector.
Figure 3 is a bottom plan view of the protector.
Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 44 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken on the line -55 of Figure 4.
Figure 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the protector applied to the buttons of a garment.
Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that the device consists of an elongated sack-like structure consisting of a bottom ply 5 and a top consisting of an elongated strip folded laterally upon itself to provide two thicknesses or plies 6, 1, The upper strip is somewhat shorter than the bottom strip 5, the same having one end stitched to one end of the strip 5 as at 8 while its opposite end is stitched in place as at 9 and at a point inwardly of the adjacent end of the bottom strip 5. This leaves an extension II] of the bottom strip 5 in which a button-hole I I is formed.
Along the strip 5 at certain spaced intervals and underlying the top or hood 6, 1 are buttonholes l2. It can now be seen that buttons l3 of a garment I'd to be cleaned can be slipped through the button-holes l2 and be protected by the covering 6, I. Should the row of buttons be longer than the protector, then the button of the row beyond the cover 6, 1 can be gauged by the extension 10 and over this button and extension can be disposed one end of another protector.
While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
A shield adapted temporarily to be attached to a row of buttons on a garment during the laundering, dry cleaning or pressing of the garment which includes a bottom strip having a single row of closely spaced button holes adapted to receive the buttons on the garment, a cover strip D manently attached to the side edges of the bottom strip and adapted to overlie the buttons to protect them from injury or loss during the treatment of the garment, and an uncovered extension on the bottom strip having a button-hole therein whereby a second shield may be attached to the garment; in alignment with the first shield to protect a series of buttons on the garment which mi ht be left unprotected by the first shield.-
