Application October 22, 1948, Serial No; 553103 Claims. (01. 2-279) This invention relates to .a simulated pocket similar g rment and has for its primary object to construct a sturdier and-improved device of theforegoing type, achieving insuch construction a reduction in time, labor and cost but without sacrificing any of the utility, practicalness and merit of the device and without detracting from the ornamental or displayformation thereof.
Another important object of this invention is to provide a simulated display handkerchief that is preformed and constructed with a holder for insertion in the breast pocket of a coat or suit; that will necessitate no folding or refolding after its original construction; that will be neat in appearance and will not bulge outwardly when inserted in a pocket that will consequently obviate any bulky pocket appearance.
Another important object of this invention is to provide a simulated pocket handkerchief including a piece of prefolded material, of a pattern and color complimentary to various patterned and colored suits and ties, means being provided for-securely holding and retaining the prefolded-and joined pieces of material in a compact, folded position and for enabling the same to be unitarily and easily inserted in a pocket and retained therein with the upper portions of the material protruding above the upperedge-of the pocket.
These and-ancillary objects and structural features of merit are attained by this invention, .a preferred embodiment of which is set forth in the following description and illustratedin the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is'a" fragmentary perspective view of .a .coat'or similar outer garment, having a breast pocket, within which is inserted and retained, a simulated display handkerchief constructed in accordance with the'principles of this invention;
tion.
Referring now more particularly to the drawin s, there is shown the components of the instant invention generally designated by the'char- 'acter reference It), the'same' being brought togather in. a manner as taught hereinafter :and
fora purpose .to produce a compact, neat and attractive simulated display handkerchief.
..In carrying out this invention, attention is -filSt. directed to Figures 6-8, wherein the .pre-
ferred'formcand typeof pieces of material, ,constituting the main portion of the device, are illustrated. It is-to be noted, with referenceto Figure 6, that there is provided a pair of triangular pieces, or sections, of material I2 and I4 which are-seamed at their edges as at [6 and I8. The triangular piece I 4 is substantially larger than the section 12 and is superimposed thereon, the pieces being joined by in and out stitching 20 and 22, runningvertically on the pieces.
In Figure 7, a second section 24 is shown the same comprising a pair of triangular sections'or pieces of material, corresponding in design and color to the sections l2 and I4. The pieces 26 and 28 of the section 24 are preferably of a scalene triangular formation, all of the pieces being ofan acute angle formation. The pieces 26 and 28 areprovided with hems 30 on their longitudinally extending side edges converging towards the minor point. The joined pieces l2 and I4 are superimposed on the section 24, as seen in Figure 8, so that the minor ends, or corners, 32, 34, 36 and Marc displayed in staggered relationship. As will be seen in Figure 8, the display corners 32,38 of the sections l2, l4 define the area of the display corner 34 of the section 28 and said corner 34 together with the'corner 38 of section l2 define the area of the display corner 36 of section 26.
Attention is now directed to Figure 3 of the drawings, wherein there is shown a holder 40 constructed from a solid piece or sheet of suitable material, such as paper, plastic, or composition. The holder comprises a central section 42 having a transversely extending crease or fold line 44 disposed therethrough. The central section 42 is defined by-a pair of arcuate opposed side edges 46 and 48, at the outer ends of which are formed end sections 50 and 52.
The end section 52 is formed with a, cut-out portion 54 defined by a transverse out line 56 and a pair of arcuately formed longitudinally extending opposed end cut extensions 58 and 58. Thus, the cut-out portion 54 constitutes a flap or tab open at three sides and integral at its lower end with the endsection. Spaced inwardly from the arcuate sides of the cut-out portion 54 area pair of arcuate slits 62and 64. The end section'52 terminates in a semi-circular or arcuate end 66, having a series of rearwardly spaced arcuate score or crease lines 68. The end section 58 is substantially rectangular in form and is provided with a :pair ofextending tabs or arms 18 and 12, being rial, shown in Figure 8, are superimposed on the central portion or body portion 42 of the holder, with their points or minor ends extending longitudinally above the transverse score line 44. The base portions of the pieces of material are inserted on the end section 52, between the arcuate side edges 58 and 60 of the cut-out portion or tab 54, so that the cut-out portion 54 engages upon the front portion or face of the sections. It is to be noted that the ends of the pieces of material will project substantially in lateral fashion beyond the outer side edges of the end section 52 and will be folded about the side edges and superimposed on the back portion of the end section. At this time, the center section 42 will be turned down at the score line 44 extending transversely therethrough at its center point so that the end section 50 will be superimposed upon the ends of the material pieces or sections disposed about the back portion of the end 52. The arms or tabs and 12 will then be brought around the side edges of the end 52 and inserted within the slits 62 and 64, so that the end section 50 serves to clamp upon the'extending ends of the pieces of material and hold the base portions of the material Within the cut-out portion 54.
As seen in Figures 2-5, suitable means may be provided for fastening and securing the arms 10 and 12 within the slits, so as to prevent the same from accidental withdrawal and to securely hold the material sections on the holder. In this respect, staples '18 may be provided and may be easily secured, so as to penetrate through the holder sections and through the material pieces and join the same unitarily. Of course, if desired, the upper portion of the section 24 may be stapled, as at 80 to the central portion of the holder.
The arcuate or semi-circular end 66 of the end section 52 of the holder is adapted to be slid downwardly in a pocket, preferably the breast pocket 82 of a coat or outer garment or similar article of apparel 84. The particular formation and design of the end will enable the holder and pieces of material held and retained thereon to be easily inserted in the pocket and to rest securely therein, without producing or causing an outward bulge or unsightly appearance. When the end is seated on the inner closed end of the pocket, the sections of material will protrude above the upper edge of the pocket, as seen in Figure 1. It is to be noted that the end 66 is provided with arcuate crease or fold lines, so that the same may be adjusted for various heights in the pocket, either by bending the material back upon itself or by cutting the lower portions of the material away, on the score lines, whichever is desired.
Thus, it can be appreciated that there is provided a novel simulated display handkerchief, utilizing a holder formed of a, stiff material that will resist bending, after it has been constructed and will retain the portions or pieces of material in their neatly folded position. It can be appreciated that the holder will be formed of the proper length to fit snugly within conventional pockets but the score lines may be utilized and bent or the end portions of the holder removed, so that the lower end of the holder may be slid easily into a pocket, without causing the holder to bend and the holder may be retained easily in the pocket, allowing the upper ends of the material to protrude slightly above the upper edge of the pocket. Y
