1 Claim. (CI. 2-91) This invention relates to neck scarves.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel neck scarf which will remain in place at all times.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a novel neck scarf of the above type which is formfitting, for increased comfort and more attractive appearance.

Other objects of the invention are to provide a neck scarf bearing the above objects in mind which is of simple construction, has a minimum number of parts, is inexpensive to manufacture and effective in use.

For other objects and for a. better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure l is front elevational view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention;

Fig. 2 is a side elevational view thereof;

Fig. 3 is a top plan view;

Fig. 4 is a plan view of one of the elements forming the front of the invention;

Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the back member forming another part of the invention; and

Fig. 6 is a View similar to Fig. 4 but illustrating the modified form of the present invention.

Referring now more in detail to the drawing, there is provided a novel neck scarf which will remain in posi tion and which is form fitting and includes a pair of front panel members A and a back member B of wool, cashmere or any other suitable material employed for scarves.

As shown in Fig. 4, each of the panels A includes the straight vertical edge 10 and the straight bottom edge 11 at right angles thereto. The panel at the top thereof is provided with the concave cutout 12 providing the neck opening and is formed with the shoulder portion 13, the remaining edge of the panel being curved inwardly and downwardly and then outwardly as at 14 to adapt the panel to the contour of the wearers body.

The back panel B includes the slightly concave forward edge 15 and the rear convex edge 16, as well as the shoulder receiving concave cutouts 17 at each end, substantially as illustrated.

To assemble and to be form fitting in contour as shown in Figs. 1 through 3, the shoulder portions 13 of each of the front panels A are secured to the portions 17 of the back panel B which imparts a circular configuration to the front edge 15 to cooperate with the concave edges 12 and receiving therethrough the neck of the wearer in a comfortable and attractive manner. The panels A will cooperate with the rear panel B to remain properly positioned on the wearer at all times and the scarf is States Patent 0 form fitting. The vertical edges 10 of the adjacent front panels A may be left freely open or releasably secured together at the convenience of the user, for example the means of the buttons 18 and the button holes 19, slide fasteners, snap fasteners or any other releasable fastening means, as will be obvious.

Referring now particularly to Fig. 6, there is shown a modified form of the present invention including a pair of front panels A having the straight inner edges thereof releasably secured together by the slide fastening construction indicated generally at 21. In this case the upper inner edges of the panels A are provided with the convex edges 12' which again provide the neck opening in cooperation with the back panel B.

In other respects the form of the invention shown in Fig. 6 is the same as that shown in Figs. 1 through 5, and like reference numerals identify like parts throughout the several views.

It should now be apparent that there has been provided a neck scarf which will remain properly positioned at all times and which is form fitting.

While various changes may be made in the detail construction, it shall be understood that such changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claim.

The neck bands B will be sized in the same manner as shirts, a novel feature in scarves. For example, a size 15 neckband will be provided for the size 14 shirt and so forth.

The neck scarves of Figs. 1 through 6 may also be knitted, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

The scarves embodying the features of the present invention may also be two-toned in color and may be provided with pockets, not shown.

Also, the form of the invention shown in Figs. 1 through 5 may be provided with the slide fastener construction 21 of Fig. 6 instead of the buttons 18 and button holes 19, as will be obvious. The scarf of Figs. 1 through 5 is made of heavy material and has a higher neck line in the front to protect the wearer from extremely cold weather.

The scarf of Fig. 6 is designed for a more moderate climate to protect the wearer from chilly winds and also to protect the wearers outer garments from becoming soiled by rubbing the neck.

What I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is:

A neck scarf comprising, in combination, a pair of front panels and a single back panel, each one of said front panels including a separate blank each having a single straight inner edge and a single concave form fitting outer edge, each one of said front panels having an upper shoulder portion defining an arcuate neck receiving cutout, said rear panel having a single concave forward edge, a concave rear edge, and side edges diverging from the forward edge to the rear edge, each side edge of said back panel being stitched to an upper edge of said front panel so as to provide a preformed neck scarf of inverted J-shaped configuration.
