Application November 30, 1951, Serial No. 259,265
2 Claims. 1 The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in collar stays.
More specifically, the present invention proposes the construction of collar stays for being invisibly mounted on the wings of a conventionally constructed mans shirt or the like garment in a manner to hold the wings in a slight forwardly projected curvature and retain the tip ends of the wings from curling upward.
Another object of the present invention proposes constructing the collar stays as light weight bodies shaped to conform to the triangular formation of the wings of the collar and which are given a slight preset curvature from top to bottom so as to impart a similar curvature to the wings of the collar.
Still further, the present invention proposes mounting the bodies on the wings with their convexed sides faced outward so that the Wings of the collar will be held in a slight forwardly curved position with the tips of the wings directed in- Ward.
As a further object, the present invention proposes forming the bodies of an inert material as one of the synthetic resinous materials so that the bodies may be sewn directly into the wings of the collar to be laundered with the shirt without harmful effect on the collar of the shirt.
The present invention further proposes forming the light weight bodies in outline shape to reduce the bulk thereof.
Still another object of the present invention proposes several different methods for reinforcing the bodies so as to maintain them in the desired preset curvature.
It is a further object of the present invention to construct collar stays of the type described which are simple and durable, which are eifective for their intended purposes and which can be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
On the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:
Fig. 1 is a partial elevational view of a mans shirt provided with collar stays constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the collar stay per se.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2, but illustrating a modification of the present invention.
Fig. 5 is another view similar to Fig. 2, but illustrating a still further modification of the present invention.
Fig. 6 is an enlarged partial transverse sectional view taken on the line 6'-6 of Fig. 5.
Fig. 7 is still another view similar to Fig. 2 lllustrating another modification of the present invention.
Fig. 8 is an enlarged partial transverse sectional view taken on the line 88 of Fig. 7.
Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a collar stay constructed in accordance with a still further modification of the present invention.
The collar stays, as disclosed in connection with the first form of the present invention illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3, are to be mounted on the wings ll] of a conventional soft collar I I attached to a mans shirt I2, see Fig. l.
The stays are provided in pairs to have a righthand stay and a left-hand stay and each includes a body 20 of any desired light weight material. The bodies 20 are triangular in shape to conform to the triangular formation of the Wings II) of the collar I I. The bodies 20 are further characterized by long legs 2I for extension along the depending end edges of the wings I0 and shorter legs 22 for extension along the junction of the wings of the collar I I with the neck band of the collar. The ends of the legs 2| and 22 of the bodies are connected by the usual hypotenuse sides 23. In this first form of the invention, the centers of the bodies are formed with triangular cutouts 24 for reducing the bulk of the bodies 20.
As best shown in Fig. 2, the bodies 20 are given a slight preset curvature from top to bottom so as to be arcuate in side elevation from top to bottom. The bodies are mounted on the wings .I 0 to be hidden from view and with their convex sides facing outward so as to hold the wings in a slight forwardly curved position with the tip ends of the wings I0, directed rearward. The slight curvature imparted to the wings It by the bodies 20 gives the wings a pleasant rounded appearance and retains the tips from curling forward and upward While the shirt I2 is being worn.
The manner of mounting the bodies 20 upon the wings I!) of the collar II forms no part of the present invention, which is concerned entirely with the formation of the stays per se. However, it is appreciated that the .stays could be removably inserted into pockets, not shown, secured to the inner faces of the wings I0. On the other hand, if desired, the stays could be sewn in position between layers of the collar II.at the time that the collar is being assembled or stitched, cemented or secured in any other desired manner to the inner faces of. the Wings II! of the collar I I.
As previously indicated, the bodies 20 are preferably formed of a light weight material, which might be a non-corrosive metal. However, .it is preferred to form the bodies of one of the inert synthetic resinous materials, particularly in those instances where the stays are incorporated as a part of the collar I I, making it pos- "sible' to'laun'denth'e shirt without Hammer.
