Description
COLLAR ATTACHMENT Filed Aug. 19, 1946 Patented June 1, i943 STATES PATENT" oer-ice 2 Claims:
This "invention relates to collar attachm'erl-tsk The object of the invention is'to provide an attachment for use with the attached collar of a shirt which, while simple in construction, is readily placed in the fold of the collar, and at the point of the collar by spaced impaling points, said points being spread apart by an elastic means whereby said collar point may be automatically engaged thereby in opposite direction and normally and securely held by said points.
That the invention may be understood the appended drawing is submitted as a part hereof.
Figure 1 is a plan of the invention.
Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof.
Figure 2 is a plan of part of a formed wire shown in Figures 1 and 2, much enlarged.
Figure 2% is an enlarged vertical section of a part shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Figure 3 is a front elevation of part of a shirt and its attached collar illustrating in broken lines the position of the attachment of the present invention in place at said collar.
Figure 4 is a plan of a part of the attachment much enlarged.
Figure 5 is an enlarged side elevation of the same in part section.
Figure 6 is an enlarged plan of a modification of another part of the attachment.
The attachment consists of, in this instance, a helically wound wire portion indicated at l which, being laterally flexible, may lie at one extremity within and along the collar fold.
Terminating the other extremity of the said portion is a ferrule-like member 2, best shown in Figures 4 and 5, said member being suitably secured to the said portion I, either by brazing, for example, or by any well known clinching method, said member having a point or points 3 extending therefrom toward the opposite end of said portion 1.
Secured within the helically wound portion, or within the said member 2, is an elastic member 5 which, in this instance, is a single length of spring wire bent upon itself at its middle length forming a shank 4 which is fixed within the portion I at said member 2. The resultant opposite extensions 5, 5' of the wire are spread apart and the recurved end brought together at 6 forming opposed loops, the resultant extremities lying axially in line with the described shank 4.
Said extremities may be suitably fixed within one end of a partially tubular member 1, the other end of the latter being pointed for engaging in the collar material. Also said member 1 is provided with an enlargement 8 to limit the impalement action of'th'e point into the s'aid collar" material.
Asian alternative form of terminal for the extremities of the wire at 6, the two extremities 5' may be closely abutted as in Figure 6 at 4 and welded or otherwise secured relatively and then pointed as at 4 an enlargement 4 being created to serve in the same manner as the enlargement 8 already described.
It is noted that the loops in the wire member have a considerable lateral spread so that there can be a wide variation in the distance between the points 3 and the point 1, or the point 4 as the case may be.
Though the attachment is described as having the above structure it is, of course, possible to vary the structure as found convenient or as found best from a manufacturing standpoint.
However, it is now clear that the wearer of the attachment may insert the portion l into the collar at the fold thereof. Therefore when the device is in the desired position with respect to the collar point the points 3 may be made to impale the collar lining followed by placing pressure on the spring wire portions 5 in a longitudinal direction to move the terminal point of the device in the direction of said points 3, after which, upon releasing manual pressure, said terminal point will engage in the collar lining also, the tension of the portion 5, by expansion, maintaining collar engagement.
Thus, it is seen, no complicated manipulations are required either in attaching or detaching the device.
Also, the laterally extending looped arms 5 which lie in a common plane, and lie flat upon the collar point, prevent any tendency of the said device to rotate about the longitudinal line of the device. Naturally, the portion l since a proper gauge of wire will, in exerting itself, tend to assume a straight form axially and thus will draw and hold the collar point close to the shirt bosom. This results since the extremity of the coil lies along the collar fold, that extremity of the coil being in control.
I claim:
1. A collar attachment including in its construction a substantially cylindrically wound coil spring a terminal of which is adapted to lie in the fold of a collar, the other terminal extending toward a point of said collar, an impalement member fixed relative to the last named terminal, and directed toward the first named terminal, a spring structure compressible in the direction of the latter comprising two companion portions part of each of which lies in fixed relation at and to said last named terminal of the coil spring, the portions extending in opposite directions away from the latter in substantially the same plane with each other, the portions thence extending toward each other and terminating at their ends in line with the longest axis of the coil spring, and an impalement member terminating the ends of the portions and extending in a direction opposite that of the first named impalement member.
2. A. collar attachment including in its construction a substantially cylindrically wound coil spring a terminal of which is adapted to lie in the fold of a collar, the other terminal extending toward a point of said collar, an impalement member fixed relative to the last named terminal and directed toward the first named terminal, a spring structure compressible in the direction of the said last named terminal, the same comprising a wire doubled upon itself at its middle length forming a shank fixed relative to the im- 4 palement member, the resultant extensions of said wire extending away Irom each other in opposite directions, thence being recurved toward each other and in the same plane with each other, each forming a loop, the terminals oi. the thus formed loops lying in line with the said shank, and an impalement member terminating said terminals and extending in a direction opposite that of the first named impalement member.
