CUFF.

SPECIFICATION forming, part of Letters Patent No. 269,973, dated January 2., 1883.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC P. TURNER, of Troy,in the county .of Rensselaer and State of The object ofmy improvements is to produce cuffs having absolutely uniform edges without cross-folds or lapped material anywhere.

To this end my improvements consist in a novelprocessofmanutactnringacuffnamely, in making the back and front and also the interlinings of the same size and outline, in making a hole in the front or back and the adjacent interlining, in sewing this part and the said interlinin'g together around the opening, in then turning these parts the reverse side out, in subsequently stitching all the parts together around their entire outer edges, in then turning the cuff rightside out through the opening aforesaid, and in subsequently stitching the part having the aforesaid opening and the attached interlining to the other part or parts around the edges of the opening.

The inventioualso consists in a cuff with edges uniform throughout and without lap or fold anywhere, having in its front or back and adjacent interlining corresponding openings, and having said parts sewed together, independently of the'other parts of the cuff, around said openings, while wrong side out, and afterward turned right side out to give said openings a finished edge, and sewed to the other parts of the cuff around said openings.

The opening in thefront or back of the cuff may be so disposed as to render the cuff pliable at any particular place-as, for instance, contiguousto the button-holes. a

In theaccompanyingdrawings, Figure 1 is a face view of one of the interlinings and the front or back-prel'erably the back'each having an opening, and sewed together wrong side out around the opening. Fig.2 represents the said parts turned right side out. Fig. 3 is a face view of the back or front-preferabl y the front, which has no opening. Fig. 4 is a face view of the cuff sewed wrong side out, and Fig. 5 is a face view of the cuff turned right side out and completed.

and B designates the outer side, which may be Application filed November 18, 188i. (No model.)

Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures.

A designates one of the outer sides of the cuff, which may be here regarded as the back,

regarded as the front. Both may be made of. fine material, as usual. Any number of interlinings of coarse stifl" fabric may be used between the back and front, and one or more of these interlinings may be secured to the back A and the remainderto the front B. The front B may be of any suitable shape, and is intact from edge to edge, like the front of an ordh nary cufl'. The back A, however, is provided with an opening, a, which is entirely within the edges. The inter-linings which are attached to these parts are of corresponding forms. The

back and its interlining are stitched together all around the opening, as shown in Fig. l and then are turned reverse side out, so that their connected edges will be folded inward anda finished edge to the opening will be produced.

All the parts are sewed together entirely A around the edges while the parts are wrong side out. After this is completed the parts are turned right side out through the opening a, and the edges of the opening are stitched to the adj acentparts. Theopening amay extend longitudinally along the middle of the euff,and then will afford a flexure to the cuff when the hand ismoved at the wrist. It may be arranged, as shown, contiguous to the button-- holes, in which case it will afford facility for the buttoning and unbuttoning of the cufl".

. It will be seen that I produce a cuff whose edges are absolutely uniform throughout their extent, and one having an opening which has finished edges.

I do not claim broadly the making of a slit wholly within the margin of a cuff, as I am aware that it is old to form a slit in the ply or inter-lining of a cuff which lies next the front orback, and to form a flap on the front orb-ack by slitting it inward from its edge, the said 'flap serving to facilitate the turning of the cuff 1. The process of manufacturing a cuff, consisting in making the back and front and also the interlinings of the same size and outline,

' in making a hole in the front or back and the adjacent inter-lining, in stitchingthis part and the said inter-lining together around the opening, in then turning these parts reverse side out, in subsequently stitching all the parts together around their entire outer edges, in then turning the cuff right side out through the opening aforesaid, andin subsequently stitching the part having the aforesaid opening and its attached interlining to the other part or parts around the edges of the opening, substantially as specified.

2. A cuff with edges uniform throughout and withoutlap orfold anywhere, havingin its front or back and adjacent interlining corresponding openings, and having said parts sewed together, independently of the other partsof 0 the cuff, around said openings, while wrong side out, and afterward turned right side out to give said openings a finished edge, and sewed to the other parts of the cuff around said openings, substantially as specified.

3 A cuff with edges uniform throughout and without lap or fold anywhere, having in its back and adjacent interlining corresponding openings,andhavingsaidpartssewedtogether, independently of the other parts of the cufi, around said openings, while wrong side out, and afterward turned right side out to give said openings a finished edge, and sewed to the other parts of the cuff around said open- 7 ings which are opposite the button-holes at one end of the cuff, substantially as specified.
