CONVERTIBLE FUR PIECE AND THE LIKE Filed July 23. 1956 2 Sheets-She et 2 This invention relates primarily to fur pieces and more particularly to a fur piece or pieces that may be readily changed and converted,-and adapted to serve a number of different uses.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a fur piece so constructed and arranged that it may be readily changed from one form to another so that it may be worn in a number of different manners.
Another object of the present invention is to provide fastening means incorporated in the fur piece whereby it may be connected to or associated with a belt and worn in conjunction therewith.

Figs. 13 and 14 are detailed views of end terminations of the fur piece whereby loops are provided on the ends thereof for the passage of a belt therethrough; and
atent 2,804,625 Patented Sept. 3, 1957 Fig. 15 is a detailed view of the central inner back section of the belt with a fur piece attached thereto.
Referring now to the drawings, the embodiment of the invention disclosed in Figs. 3 and 4 will first be described, and here as in the following a fur piece is referred to as being a section extending from the front of the wearer up over the shoulder and down the back. However, the back ends of two fur pieces may be joined to or at the belt so as to form a single continuous fur piece.
In Fig. 3 the forward front ends of the fur pieces 21 are turned back under, in the manner illustrated in Fig. 13, so as to form an opening or loop 22 through which the belt 23 may pass. The belt 23 is worn about the waist in the usual position, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, and may have the conventional buckle joining means 24. The manner of attaching the ends to an intermediate section of the fur piece to form the opening 22 is illustrated in Fig. 6 and preferably comprises a plurality of snap fasteners 26a and 26b of the type which has small projections adapted to be inserted in openings of cooperating or companion parts. The fasteners 26:; and 2611 may be of any conventional type and preferably there are a plurality thereof so that the size of the loop 22 may be varied by inserting a diiferent one of the fasteners 26b. in different ones of the other elements 26a. In conjunction with the changing of the size of a loop 22, the length of a fur piece 21 is also changed.
As shown in Fig. 4, the ends of the fur pieces at the back central section of the belt 23 are looped around the belt and may be secured thereto by stitching, as indicated at 25 in Fig. 15, or if'desired, the two sections of the fur piece may be joined together and merely looped around the belt at the back thereof.
With two separate for pieces 21 worn as indicated in Figs. 3 and 4, the front lower ends may be adjustably moved along the belt to produce a different effect on the wearer and at the same time provides a novel arrangement of wearing the fur pieces.
In Figs. 1 and 2 the present invention is shown as it may be employed in conjunction with the use of a plurality of pairs of fur pieces. In the said figures two pairs of fur pieces are shown with two separate pieces over each shoulder. In Fig. l the front ends of the fur pieces are provided with belt engaging loops of suitable fabric 27, Fig. 14, through which the belt is adapted to pass and thereby anchor these ends of the fur pieces thereto. As with a single pair of fur pieces, the back sections of the two pairs in Fig. 2 may be made to pass down over the outside of the belt and up through the inside thereof, or may be stitched thereto, as indicated in Fig. 15. It will be obvious that where two separate fur pieces are joined to form a single elongated one, there should be a slight twist in the fur piece at the point where it engages the back section of the belt to present the furred side of the pieces outward.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention the undersides of the fur pieces are lined with a suitable fabric 28, as indicated in Figs. 5 and 6, and the hereinbefore mentioned snap fasteners 26a and 26b are secured thereto in the usual manner. Where a plurality of pairs of'fur pieces are worn, it is desirable that adjacent ones, such as those on the right hand side of the wearer and those on the left hand side of the wearer, be joined together at some point intermediate the ends thereof. To this end there isprovided separable fastening means on each of the fur pieces whereby two adjacent pieces may be attached together to form a wider unit. Fig. 5 illus trates the preferred form of fastening means which includes a plurality of groups of loops 29 adjacent one edge of the fur piece on the underside thereof and on the opposite side loop engaging elements such as buttons 31. In Fig. 5, a group of three loops 29 and three buttons 31 are shown, and one or more such groups along the edges of the fur pieces enable two adjacent pieces to be readily fastened together. Thus the two pairs of fur pieces shown in Figs. 1 and 2 may be joined at the desired points to form a cape-like or stoletype wrap. It will be obvious, however, that other types of joining or fastening arrangements can readily be employed in place of the loops 29 and buttons 31.
In Figs. 7 and 8 two pairs of somewhat shorter fur pieces 32 are shown engaging a belt 23 worn somewhat higher than the belt of Figs. 1 to 4. Thus there is provided an Empire trim effect and in accordance with the present invention the snap fasteners 26a and 26b may be employed to shorten the fur pieces so; that they may be worn in the manner illustrated in Fig. 7 and 8. In Figs. 9 and 10 a single pair of shortened fur pieces 32 are shown over the shoulders of a wearer and anchored to a belt 23.
Figs. 11 and 12 illustrate the manner in which a fur piece constructed in accordance with the present invention in addition to being worn in the manner set forth above can also be worn to provide hip or pocket trim effects. Here the fur pieces referred to by reference numeral 33 are anchored to the belt 24 and hang down therefrom. The ends of the fur pieces 33 may be sccured to the belt in the manner indicated in Figs. 13 and 15, or by other suitable arrangements; one such arrangement includes a fabric loop 27, Fig. 14, secured to at least one end of a fur piece and through which the belt 24 is adapted to pass.
Thus in accordance with the present invention there is provided a fur piece or pieces that may be worn in a number of different ways to produce varied and different effects on the wearer and which can readily be converted from one mode to another.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made in the present invention other than those disclosed herein, and it is desired therefore that only such limitations be placed thereon as are specifically set forth in the appended claims.
