H. J. LEE 2,471,331 i APRON Filed Oct. 1l, 1946 lllllll" il" Patented May 24, 1949 UNITED STATES PATENT- OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to aprons, and it has reference more particularly to aprons that are especially adapted for use by barbers, bartenders, waiters and by other persons While doing work similar to that of barbers or bartenders; it being the principal object of the invention to provide a novel means for the support and securement of the apron and provide maximum freedom of movement and comfort to the wearer of the apron,
also, to simplify the making of such aprons, and 1 to lessen the cost of manufacture.
It is also an object of the invention to provide an apron that facilitates the wearing of a neck tie therewith, in an attractive manner, and protecting the tie and retaining it from interfering with work done by the wearer of the apron.
More specifically stated, the objects of the present invention reside in the provision of an apron to be worn over a shirt and necktie, and wherein the bib portion of the apron is equipped at the upper end with a buttonhole adapted to receive a button of the shirt neck opening or other garment with which the apron is worn to support the bib, thus to eliminate use of neck bands or other forms of support, and wherein a cross slit is formed in the bib portion slightly below the buttonhole as a means for passing the ends of the necktie through the bib to the inside thereof to support and protect them, as well as to keep them out of the way of the work being done by the wearer of the apron.
Other objects of the invention reside in the details of construction of the apron and its combination with a shirt and tie, as will hereinafter be fully described.
In accomplishing these and other objects of the invention, I have provided the improved details of construction, the preferred forms of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein- Fig. l is a View illustrating an apron embodied by the present invention, as worn.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional detail showing the attachment of the apron to the shirt button and the application of the tie through the slot in the apron.
Fig. 3 is a View of the apron.
Referring more in detail to the drawings- 'l designates, in its entirety, an apron embodied by the present invention. As here shown, it comprises a body portion 2 and formed with an upwardly pointed bib portion 3, terminating in a rounded, pointed or design of other form which latter is formed at a location closely adjacent the point or upper end with a buttonhole 4 and at a short distance below the buttonhole, with a cross slot 5.
The body portion of the apron is of such a horizontal width that it may be drawn across the front and sides of the body, and it is equipped at its opposite ends with ties or strings S for its securement in the usual manner.
The apron may be made of any suitable material, preferably that cloth known in trade as Indian head and it is anticipated that it be hemmed about its edges and that the buttonhole and cross slit be finished in the usual manner of nishing or in any other satisfactory manner to insure best use of the apron. Also, that it shall be reinforced at the point containing the buttonhole and slot and at the corners where the ties 6 are attached.
It is intended that this apron be worn with any type of garment to which it may be buttoned as intended, for example, to be worn over the usual type of mans shirt, having a fold-over collar, and having a neck opening equipped with the usual buttons and buttonholes for buttoning and holding the collar in place and the neck opening properly closed. Furthermore, it is anticipated that a four-in-hand tie be worn with the shirt and apron. To illustrate the combination of shirt, tie and apron, I have shown, in Fig. 1 of the drawing, the shirt 8 as having a collar 9 and a four-in-hand necktie l0 applied thereto in the usual way.
To apply the apron, the upper end of the bib is buttoned onto the shirt or garment preferably by use of the rst shirt button I2 below the collar band button, then the apron strings 6 are drawn about the body and tied, thus to hold the apron in place. Then after the necktie has been tied and adjusted into place, the ends thereof are drawn down over the secured upper end of the bib and projected through the cross slit 5 from the outside to the inside of the ibib as shown in Fig. 2 and drawn down beneath the bib, thus to hold the tie in place.
With the apron so worn, and the tie so applied, the wearer has maximum comfort and freedom to to his work. Furthermore, the tie is attractively displayed and covers the securing button of the bib in a way that overcomes any unattractiveness in or objection to this method of securement of the apron in place.
Aprons may be made in various lengths without departing from the spirit of the invention and the design of the bib might vary from the pattern shown. Furthermore, the apron might be of cloth, oil cloth, rubber, plastic, or of other suitable materials; also it may be worn with a shirt or other garment having buttons suitably arranged for the attachment of the apron.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
An apron of the character described comprising a body portion equipped with means whereby it may be secured about the waist portion of the wearer, having arg1 upwardly minted bib por# tion formed at its upper end with a button hole designed for application to a, button of the apron wearers shirt for the support of the bib; said. bib having a cross slit spaced from and below the said button hole, designed to receive the end pore n tions of a necktie, as applied about the neck. of the apron wearer, for the passing of the tie ends to the inside of the apron.
