METHOD OF FOLDING SHIRTS Filed April 1, 1944 INVENTOR. Richard C. Campbe Z Z BY MM Fatanted Apr.
METHOD OF FOLDING Richard 0. Campbell, North Plainfieid, N. J.
7 Application April 1, 1944, Serial No. 529,076
back against the inside of the back of the shirt thus producing two creases on either side of the collar. The collar is exposed and subject to soilage and requires some sort of "a collar support to hold it in place. This long fold or standard put-up requires four to nine pins to hold the various shirt parts in position and the average size of the package is approximately 15 x 10 x 2 inches. equal to 300 cubic inches taking up considerable space in shipping, storage and counter display.
An object of this invention is to provide a method of folding and packing mens and boys shirts of the collar-atta=ched type which will lower production, shipping, storage and distributing costs and which will protect the package contents from damage and distortion.
With my invention it is possible to eliminate all pins or fastenings, collar reinforcements or board and to properly hold the various shirt parts in position,
A further object is to reduce shipping space and a shirt folded according to my invention reduces the size of the finished package to approximately 7% x 10 x 1 inch, or approximately 75 cubic inches, about one-fourth the present space.
In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 shows a shirt with the front buttoned,
but with the collar opened and folded flat rather than folded upon itself as is the usual case;
Fig. 2 shows the second step in the operation with the sleeves folded into position in the back the collar;
Fig. 3 shows the tail of the shirt folded upwardly; r
Fig. shows the shirt in the finished position for packing or shipping.
Referring more. particularly to the drawings,
my shirt it is of the conventional type with a of the shirt and upwardly to protect the rear of J3me collar and I! and then folded upon themselves so that the cuffs I8 and i9 rest behind the collar II. The
shirt is then folded backwardly along the line 2|! and again folded frontwardly upon itself on the line 20a to produce the finished package 21. It may be then wrapped in Cellophane or otherwise if desired.
Describing the operations above set forth in another way, it may be said that the present method relates to shirts having an attached collar which is folded upon itself on a folding line extending the length of the collar. The
method consists of opening the collar and folding it fiat on a pair of spaced folding lines which extend transversely of the folding line last above mentioned, folding the sleeves backwardly against the back of the shirt, with the outer cuffs flat against the back of the collar, folding the shirt backwardl-y upon the sleeves and then folding it frontwardly upon itself on a folding line parallel to the folding line of the last-mentioned folding operation and in overlying relation. to the collar.
When the shirt is unfolded the collar l I may be folded down along the line 22 and it will not crease or bulge outwardly as is the case with a shirt folded in the conventional manner. 0n the other hand the collar will assume its natural shape on the wearers neck. It will be appreciated that in addition to the foregoing advantages my invention reduces packing and shipping costs,
conserves storage and selling space, protects the garment from distortion and counter soil, thus eliminating refinishing costs and it eliminates the use of all pins in the original put-up.
I claim: p
1. A method of folding shirts of the attached collar type in which the collar is folded upon itself on a folding line which extends the length of the collar, said method consisting of opening folding the collar fiat on a pair of spaced folding lines which extend transversely of the first-mentioned folding line, folding the sleeves backwardly against the back of the shirt,
with the outer cuffs flat against the back of the collar, folding the shirt backwardly upon the sleeves and then folding it frontwardly upon itself, on a folding line parallel to the folding line of the last-mentioned folding operation and in overlying relation to the collar.
2. A method of folding shirts of the attached collar type in which the collar is folded upon itself on a folding line which extends the length of the collar, said method consisting of opening the collar, folding the collar flat on a pair of spaced folding lines which extend transversely of m the "first-mentioned folding line, iolding the ENCES CITED sleeves backwardly against the bagk of t e hi t, The following references are of record in the and folding the shirt upon itself twice in opposite me of his patent:
directions on transverse folding lines, thereby 5 m w TENTS providing folds which cover the collar and sleeves STA PA of the shirt. I Number Name Date RICHARD Q mm 0 ,470 Johnson Oct. 17, 1916 I 1,907,280 Goldberg May 2, 1933
