VENTILATED GARMENT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 315,806, dated Aprill, 1885.
Application filed May 23, 1884. (X0 model.)
T0 at whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES I. E. Mas TIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ventilated Garments; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure l of the drawings is a perspective view of a garment, showing the cape partially broken away to display the ventilating-valves Fig. 2, a detail view of a piece of fabric provided with the valves, and Fig. 3 a sectional view thereof on line 00 a".
The present invention has relation to that class of water-proof and other garments provided with perforations for the purpose of ventilation, and the object thereof is to remove the necessity of cutting away any portion of the garment, and thereby weakening the fabric, which would be the case in the ordinary method of perforating them.
The invention therefore consists in providing a water-proof or other garment with a se ries of flaps or shedding-lips, by means of which the proper ventilation is obtained without materially affecting the firmness or strength of the fabric, as will be hereinafter described.
In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1, I have shown a water-proof garment provided with a cape in use upon the wearer, in order to show the application of my invention, and therefore I desire it to be understood that I confine myself to no special form or quality of garment, the invention being equally as applicable to all classes of garments, whether of water-proof or other material.
The garment, as represented at A, I provide with a series of flaps or shedding-lips, B, formed by cutting the fabric, as more clearly illustrated in Fig. 2, these flaps being of any desirable shape and number. Although the valves may be out from any portion of the garment, it is desirable to benefit that part of the body which has the most heat, and therefore the valves should be located where the heat is generated. To provide for this, the garment is valved on a line extending from armpit to arm-pit, thereby rendering it free for circulation, the warm air passing out at will through the valve-openings, and leaving the body cool and not in a confined state, it being well known that the heat of a human being is usually generated in the trunk of the body, and principally under the arms, where it is most confined.
The particular shape or form of the flaps may be used as a means for identifyingaparticular class or quality of garment. I reserve the right or privilege of changing its shape to suit the taste of a wholesale buyer of the garments, so that he may be able to recognize his own style of valve at any time or place, and thereby use it as his own trade-mark for special identification.
I am aware that it is old to perforate fabrics for garments for giving a ventilation thereto, and I am also aware that it is common to re-enforce such openings by extra pieces attached thereto in such a manner as to extend over the top of the openings and down on either side thereof to form a shield to deflect the moisture which may collect on the fabric to one side of the opening, thus preventing its passage through the ventilatingaperture onto the garment designed to be protected. Such I do not claim as my invention,as when the fabric is perforated it is weakened, and moisture collecting on the same will pass through said perforations onto the garment to be protected, thus defeating the object for which the ventilated fabric is constructed; and where the perforations are reenforced an unnecessary expense is entailed in attaching such re-enforcements, which requires an extra amount of material and produces a weightyand bulky fabric, which will occupy a large space when packed. Allthese objections are overcome by my construction of fabric, the ventilatingapertures being formed therein by simply cutting the fabric so as to form overhanging flaps or shedding-lips.
Having now fully described my invention,
5 tures being provided with overhanging flaps 1 what I claim as new, and desire to secure by I hereunto subscribed my name in the presence Letters Patent, is of two witnesses.
A garment having a series of ventilatingapertures formed in its surface, said aper- CHARLES I. E. MASTIN.
or shedding-lips, substantially as set f0rth,and 1 \Vitnesses: for the purposes specified. LoUIs SMADBECIK,
In testimony that I claim the above I have CHAS. SPIRO.
