Claims. (Cl. 2-84) This invention relates to Waterproof paper raincoats.
It is an object of the present invention. to provide a waterproof paper raincoat which will er'ficiently protect the clothing while at the same time being sufiiciently cheap to enable it to be'discarded after a single use.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a waterproof paper raincoat of the above type which may be folded up into an extremely small unit adapted for vending in coin machines.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a waterproof paper raincoat of the above type which is readily adjusted to the size of the wearer.
Other objects of the present invention are to provide a waterproof paper raincoat bearing the above objects in mind which is of simple construction, is inexpensive to manufacture, has a minimum number of parts, is easy to use and eificient in protecting the clothing from rain or snow.
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. l is a perspective view of a waterproof paper raincoat embodying the features of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the blank from which the invention is formed.
Fig. 3 is a side elevational view of the blank of Fig. 2 showing the first stage of folding.
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 but showing the final stage of folding.
Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional View taken along line 55 I of Fig. 4.
1 vending machine.
Referring more in detail to the drawing, in which similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, there is shown in Figs. l5 a waterproof paper raincoat, referred to collectively as 10, and including two portions 11 and 12 of suitable waterproof paper or glossy wax paper united along their vertical edges 13. A single sheet of paper of twice the width of portion 11 or 12 is preferably folded longitudinally, substantially as illustrated.
The portions 11 and 12 are cut to conform to the general configuration disclosed in Fig. 2. More specifically, the portion 11 is cut to form a rectangular head portion 2,711,538 Patented June 28, 1955 ice 14 joined with a relatively larger cape portion 15, while the portion 12 is cut to form a rectangular head portion 16 joined with a relatively larger cape portion 17.
The portions. 15 and 17 are provided with openings 18, 19, respectively, through which the arms of the wearer may be passed to the outside of the raincoat, permitting the free use of the former for carrying packages or the like.
The head portions 14 and 16 are provided with a common fold line 20, for a purpose to be hereinafter described.
It will be noted that the head portion 14 extends upwardly beyond the top of head portion 16in an integral flap 21 provided at its top edge with a strip of gummed substance 22, as shown in Fig. 2.
The rear face of head portion 16, as shown in Fig. 3, is provided with three vertically spaced, parallel dotted lines 23, 24, and. 25 below fold line 20, these lines bearing the markings small, medium and large, substantially as. illustrated.
The raincoat is formed by folding the blank of Fig. 2 along vertical fold line 13, bringing the two portions 11 and 12 into the relationship of Fig. 3, with the flap 21 and gummed portion 22 extending upwardly beyond head portion 16. Both head portions 14 and 16 are then folded downwardly along the: fold line 20, the gummed portion 22 being moistened and pasted along any of the lines 23, 24, or. 25, as shown in. Fig. 4. Thus the head portions 14 and 16 are transformed, into an open face hood, as shown in Fig. 1. It will be noted that any one of the lines 23, 24 or 25 might have been used when. pasting portion 22 to head portion 16, permitting thereby an adjustment in size of the hood to the wearers convenience.
The formed raincoat of Fig. 4 may then be folded in half along a transverse fold line parallel to the fold line 20; not shown, and this process continued transversely and longitudinally until the. compact unit of Fig. 10 is achieved, permitting the raincoat to be vended in coin machines at a very low price, as will be obvious, permitting' the raincoat to be discarded after one wearing.
Referring now particularly to Figs. 6-9, there is shown a modified form of the present invention, referred to collectively as 10', and differing from the first form in the manner of forming the hood from the blank.
In this form, the head portions 14 and 16, as shown in Fig. 7, after folding longitudinally along fold line 13, are folded along transverse diagonal lines 26 and 27 ter-- minating at the rear end of fold line 20, substantially as illustrated, and then unfolded to the position of Fig. 7. The head portion 16 is then folded back upon fold line 20, as shownin Fig. 9, while the head portion 14 is folded along line- 26 and brought over with the gummed portion 22 again being pasted along the desired line 23, 24 or 25. This results in an open face hood as shown in Fig. 6, having a triangular, flat top, substantially as illustrated, increasing thereby comfort to the wearer.
In other respects the form of the invention shown in Figs. 69 is the same as that shown in Figs. 1-5, and like reference numerals identify like parts throughout the several views.
It should now be apparent that there has been provided a waterproof paper raincoat which will efficiently protect the clothing while at the same time being sufficiently cheap to enable it to be discarded after a single use, this raincoat being capable of being folded up into an extremely small unit adapted for vending in coin machines. It should also be apparent that there has been provided a waterproof 'paper raincoat of the above type which is readily adjusted to the size of the wearer.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
