SHIRT.
I SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,845, dated November 21, 1882.
I Application filed June 20, 1882. (No model.)
7 To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE A. DUBREUIL, of Baltimore, State of Maryland, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Shirts; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
My invention relates to shirts, being principally applicable to the class known as dress shirts.
It consists of an improved gusset or re-enforce for thejuncture of the cloth at the bottom of the split in the back, the same device being also applicable to the split in the sleeves and to the split in the sides between the flaps.
Theobject of my invention is to provide a simple and economical re-enforce or strengthening-piece, and to make the shirt strong without increasing the thickness of the parts or making it clumsy in construction.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l showsa back View ofa shirt with my improved gusset applied to the split in the back and to the sleeves. Fig. 2 shows the gusset detached. Fig. 3 is a section of the gusset as applied to the main fabric.
The cloth is split down the back in the usual manner, and a strip, A,is sewed to one side,in order to give-the necessary overlap, this being of ordinary and well-known construction. The point where the strain occurs in putting on and off the shirt is at the juncture of the overlap or end of-the slit in the back of the shirt, and at this point the cloth is liable to tear. Various means have heretofore been devised for preventing the rupture at this point, such as extended facings running from the yoke .downward and across the bottom of the slit and up to the yoke on the opposite side of the slit. I desire to avoid the expense and increased thickness of the cloth of these facings and to re-euforce the shirt at the precise point where strength is required, and by means of pieces of cloth which may be cut from the ordinary waste, and to this end I provide a strengthening-strip or gusset, B. (Shown detaeh ed in Fig.2.) This piece I cutout of strips of suitable length made from any of the waste material on the table, and this strip 1 run through a hemmer and hem upon both edges. This gives a finished edge, and at the same time greatly increases the strength of the strip at the very point where it is needed-namely, at the extreme edges thereof. This strip may be from a half to threefourths ofan inch wide, more or less, and is sewed to the lapping margins a b,"as shown in Fig. 1, one end of the strip being sewed to the inner surface of the overlapping edge from a point, 0, extending across the bottom of the slit at a point, (I, and up to a point, 0, upon the outside of the underlappiug edge I). The greatest amount of strain would occur at the inner and outer edges of the line 00 w on the gusset or strip; but at these points the gusset is thickened by the hems y y, where the gusset is of threefold thickness, due to the hemming. When the shirt is on the wearerthe re-enforceis concealed from view by the overlap. By precisely the same construction I apply the gusset to the slits in the sleeves or between the flaps of the shirt with the same effect.
Instead of the strip formed out of cloth by hemming, I-might use a piece specially woven with selvages-and of proper width for the purpose; but this would not he so advantageous, and the strip may be formed, as aforesaid, out of pieces otherwise waste. It is obvious that this strip may also be used upon pants, drawers, overalls, and the like.
What l claim is In agarment, the combination, with theoverlapping edges or juncture, of the strip B, having its edges turned over and hemmed, so as to form a double thickness of cloth at its edges, said strip being secured to the over and under laps, crossing the juncture, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEO.- A. DUBBEUIL.
