REVERSIBLE CLAK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 258,697', dated May 30, 1882.

Application tiled April 24, 1552. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HERMANN F. BrNnsniL, of the city, county, and State of New York,

. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Reversible Gloaks, of which the following is a specification.

The silk and fur lined ladies cloaks in geueral use have the disadvantage that the silk is spoiled by exposure to rain, whereby the elegant appearance of these rather expensive garments is destroyed to some extent.

The object of this invention is to furnish a ladys silk cloak lined with fur, quilted fabric, plush, or other material which may be readily reversed and a water proof cover brought to the outside whenever it is desirable to protect the silk against rain; and the invention consists of a ladys silk cloak which is provided between the silk covering and the lining with a layer of water-proof material that is attached, together with the lining, to the silk covering along the sides, but detachable therefrom at the upper and lower edges, so that the cloak is adapted to be reversed and the silk covering or the water-proof material brought to the outside. The cloak is provided along its sides with a double trimming, apart of which is always shown, whether the silk covering or the water-proof material forms the outside of the cloak.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure A1 represents a front elevation of my improved ladys silk cloak. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same, shown with the water-proof material at the outside, a portion being broken away to show the silk covering and the lining. Fig. 3 is an inside view ot' the cloak with raised collar, showing the connection ot' the silk covering with the lining. Fig. 4 is a vertical transverse section of the cloak on line x x, Fig. l; and Figs. 5 and 6 are respectively a detail view of the double side trimming of the cloak and a vertical transverse section of the same on line y y, Fig. 5.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspendingy parts.

In carrying out my invention my improved cloak is made ot' three different parts-of an outer silk covering, A, of an intermediate layer, B, ot' water-proof material, and of a lining, U, of fur, quilted fabric, plush, or other suitable material.

In making the cloak the three parts are connected along the sides and provided with a double edge trimming, D, of fur or other suitable material. The lining C and water-proof layer B are connected together at the upper and lower edges, but notconnected to the silk coverin gA, which is attached by button-holes to buttonsaorother means at both sides of lining and water-proof layer. By means of the openings at the upper and lower edgesithe cloak may be reversed so as to bring either the silk coverin g or the waterproof layer to the outside, as shown respectively in Figs. l and 2. After the cloak has been reversed the silk covering A is buttoned at the upper part, while it may be buttoned or left open at the lower part. When the silk covering A is at the outside itis connected by its inside buttons, a, to the lining C at both the upper and lower edges, as shown in Fig. l. The collar E is attached t0 the lining and water-proof layer, and arranged to overlap the silk covering or the water-proof layer when either one is at the outside of the cloak. The double trimming D along both sides of the cloak serves to form a trimming for the cloak whether the silk covering or water-proof layer is at the outside, as shown clearly in the drawings. Of the double trimming l) one part always extends to the outside, the other to the inside, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6.

By the use of the water-proof layer or covering ladies7 silk eloaks can be protected in emergencies against injury by rain, so that the cloaks can be worn longer, as the appearance of the silk covering is preserved.

Having thus described myinvention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A reversible cloak composed of a silk covering, an intermediate layer of water-proof material, and of a lining of fur, quilted, or' other fabric, said layers or parts heilig counected at the sides, but the silk covering disconnected from the lining and water-proof material at the upper and lower ends, whereby the cloak may be reversed so as to bring the silk covering or the water-proof material to the outside, substantially as set forth.
