ROWLAND S. NORTON, OF TROY, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO GEORGE B. OLUETT, BROTHER St OO.2 OF SAME PLAGE.

CUFF.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 242,025, dated May 24, 1881. Application tiled April 16, 1880. (Model.)

To all whom fit may concern Be it known that I, RowLAND S. NORTON, of the city of Troy, county ot' Rensselaer, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Mode of Manufacturing Cuffs, of which the following is a specilieation.

This invention relates to the manufacture of cuffs; and it consists in making a detachable cuif of an outer and inner face and the usual interlinings, all preferably of the same width, and in so placing them together for stitching wrong side out that the edges ot' the sides of the inner face will fold over the cnt edges of the remaining parts, where they can be stitched down, if deemed advisable; and the object is to bring the closing side seams on the inner face of the cuff instead of at the edges; also, to produce a margin along the sides on the nner face, under which the raw edges of the interlinings may be concealed and prevented from raveling; also, to give increased thickness and rigidity to the edges of the culi", and thereby to form a heavy beaded edge around the cuff.

In the drawings, Figure lis aplan View of the outer face of the cuff, showing the margins on the sides of the inner face for folding over the cut or raw edges of the remaining parts wron g side out. Fig. 2 is a similar view ofthe inner face ofthe cuff right side out, showing the cuff complete with beaded edge and with the edge seam on the inner face ofthe cuff. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the four plies, showing the order of the same for sewing. Fig. 4 is a-transverse sectional view of the cuff Wron g side out. Fig. 5 is a similar sectional view ot' the cuff right side out before compressed.

Cuffs with beaded edges are not new, and cuffs with parts of dil'erent widths to make folds to form beaded edges are not new, and I make no claim to beaded edges, nor to cuffs any part of which is made wider than any other part.

To accomplish the object of my invention the inner face must be so placed on and stitched to the other parts of the cuff wrong side out that the edges of the inner face will project beyond the remaining edges, thereby fulling seams on the inner face of the cuff instead of at the edges, thereby leaving afull and rounded edge. The outer face, A, as already stated and as seen in Fig. l is preferably of less width than the inner face, B, and the interlinings C are somewhatshorter than the outer andinnerfaces, so that the folds on the side edges may be uniform, and I run or stitch the side edges together in such manner that the side edges of the inner face, B, will project far enough beyond the side edges of the remaining parts to make a margin for folding over the cut side edges of the remaining parts. This margin is then folded over the cut side edges of the remaining parts, and, if preferred, is stitched down. These side edges are then run or stitched around with as many rows of stitching and as far from the edges as the tastes of the manufacturer may require. I then turn the parts right side out. When turned right side out the fullness in the interlinings and outer face, produced by projecting the sides ofthe inner face, B, beyond the edges of the remaining parts, readily adjusts itself, so that the said side seams will show on inner face of the cuff and not at the edges, and thus leave a clear rounded edge at the sides. The edges, being necessarily doubled by turning the parts right side out, form a heavy beaded edge to be stitched down. The ends are then turned in and stitched down, and the entire cuft' then stitched around to suit the taste of the manufacturer.

By this mode of cutting and making a cuff a very handsome, serviceable, and merchantable cuffI is produced with less labor and expense than the ordinary beaded cuff.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A culf having its inner face stitched to the outer face and interlinings wrong side out in such position that the edges of the inner face will project beyond the edges of the remaining parts and overlap them, in combination with the outer face and the interlinings side face oi the cuff, substantially as herein de- 1o scribed.

In Witness whereof I have hereto set my hand this 15th day ot' March, 1880.

ROWLAND S. NORTON.
