- the collar of collar-attached shirts. Y.
An object of the invention ,is to provide an inexpensive and eicient `support for,y reinforcing the collar ofa ,collar-,attached shirt by means insertable betweenvthe inner and outer folds thereof, and which includes novel integral means Another object of the invention istoprovide a collar, support with means stamped from the body thereof vand Yadjacent to one of its edges adapted to interlock with the buttonhole strip Another object is..to.provide ;a collarsupport of a kind that is easily and quickly positioned inside the neckband of ,ai collar attachedl shirt and kdetachably engagedwiththeshirt andneckband to prevent displacement of the support.
Other and further objects of the present invention will be apparent from the following description and claims and are illustrated in the accompanying drawing. Other embodiments of the invention embodying the same principle may be used, and structural changes may be made as desired by those skilled in the art, without departing from the present invention and the purview of the appended claims.
In the drawing:
Fig. l is a fragmentary perspective view of a collar-attached shirt showing the improved collar support in place therein.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the collar support.
Fig. 3 is a sectional detail view taken substantially on line 3 3 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary perspective View of a collar-attached shirt showing the support positioned within the neckband.
Fig. 5 is a sectional detail view taken on line 5 5 of Fig. 4.
Referring to the disclosure in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, in the accompanying drawing, the collar support I is constructed from a suitable piece of flexible material such as, for example, medium weight cardboard, which is stamped from a blank sheet to provide a longitudinally curved strip of substantially uniform width. The strip has upper and lower curved longitudinal edges II and I2, and its end edges are suitably serrated or otherwise provided with protuberances I3 throughout substantially the entire length of said edges and include, at the junctures of said edges with the lower edge I2, nibs I4, all provided for purposes to be described presently.
The strip of flexible material may be inserted 3 claims. (C1. 22a-s3) I between the inner fold or neckband I `and Athe shirt I1. When insertedin place, as ,illustrated outer fold IB o f a collar on a collar-attached in Fig. 1, the collar support conforms substantially to the curvatureof the collar and the serrated end edges andnibs I4 engage frictionally with the inner.f aces.ofl the outer fold I6 of .shown inFig. .1. rTo this end, atongue I8 is struck out of the body of the strip substantially midway between the ends I3 and adjacent to the lower curved longitudinal edge I2. This tongue I8 is best formedy by die-cutting or otherwise -'severing it :from the body of the strip along the line I9, which when viewed as shown in Fig. 2, is of irregular contour and terminates at one end, as at 20, onto the edge I2 of the strip and at its other end 2| at substantially the transverse medial portion of said strip. The irregular contour of the slit I9, adjacent to the end 2U, denes a barb or hook-like projection 22 on the free end of the tongue I8.
When the collar support is inserted in the position of use, the tongue I8 is inserted beneath the buttonhole strip 23 of the shirt and the barblike projection 2| engages over the free edge of the button strip 25 to prevent easy withdrawal of said tongue due to any tendency of the collar support to shift circumferentially. It should be quite evident also that by locating the button strip engaging tongue I8 on the lower edge I2 of the collar support, said tongue has its bottom edge rested snugly against the fold 24 in the shirt at the juncture of the button strip 25 with the inner fold I5 of the collar. This disposition of the tongue I8 with relation to the fold 24 materially increases the frictional resistance offered to displacement of the collar support downwardly out of and away from its fully telescoped position between the inner and outer collar folds I5 and I6. The structure also is such as to greatly facilitate the insertion of a collar support between the collar folds, it being a simple procedure to initially thrust the collar support upwardly between the collar folds and then shift it circumferentially in a direction to engage the tongue I3 beneath the button hole strip 23. The structure further is very practical because its use and the function of its parts are not dependent upon the presence of or location of any buttons, buttonholes or other elements frequently present in a shirt of the character disclosed.
Referring specifically to the mode of application of the collar support as illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5, it will be noted that the collar support l0 is inserted on the inside of the neckband I5. This affords a very simple method of application whereby the collar support is easily and quickly thrust into position, with the tongue I8 extending forwardly between the lower button hem 25 and the back 26 of the shirt. The nibs i4 likewise engage between the shirt back 26 and the bot'- tom edge of the neckband l5, while the serrated*` y scription,.it shouldbe understood that the invention` may be installed in a' plurality of positions and-is capable of embodying a variety of modiiications'in detailwithoutdeparting from the spirit of the inventionf or the scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. Collar bracing and stilening means for collar-attachedV shirts, comprising an elongated strip of flexible material for insertion inside the neclrband of a collar, frietional means on the ends of said strip engageable with the inside surface of the neckband, a tongue; on thellower longitudinal edge of said strip-midway between its ends engageable beneathv the shirt front adjacent the neckband, a barb on the free end of the tongue 4 engageable over the edge of the button strip adjacent the neckband and means on the free ends of said strip engageable beneath said neckband.
2. Collar bracing and stiffening means for collar-attached shirts, comprising an elongated strip of flexible material for insertion between the inner and outer folds of the collar, the material of said strip being cut adjacent' its lower edge, which cut merges with the lower edge to form a tongue insertable beneath the button-hole strip of the shirt, and a hook-like projection on the free end of thetongue engageable with an edge of the button strip of said shirt to resist Withdrawal.
3'. Collar bracing and stiffening means for collar-attached shirts, comprising a collar supporting member for insertion between the inner and outer folds of the collar, and a tongue extending longitudinally of said member along one of its edges and being insertable beneath the buttonh'olestripof.' the. shirt adjacent' the neckband, said tongue' havinga. hook-like projectionv on its free end andi being of suchl length as to bridge the button strip=and engagey the projection over the button strip-f edge.
