Definitions

  • FIG .9 F/GJO Attorneys United States Patent 3,283,337 COLLARS AND THEIR MANUFACTURE Stanley Vivian Dawes, Croesyceiliog, Cwmbran, and William Frank Taylor, Llan-yr-Avon, Cwmbran, England, assiguors to British Nylon Spinners Limited, Pontpool, England Filed July 6, 1964, Ser. No. 380,309 Claims priority, application Great Britain, July 18, 1963,
  • Collars for shirts, blouses and like articles of clothing are made either in so-called one-piece constructions, in which the collar top and band are cut out in one piece, or in so-called two-piece constructions, in which the collar top and the collar band are cut out separately and joined together after the collar top has been assembled.
  • Collars of both types, having no visible stitching in wear, are made at this time; and they are often preferred, from the points-of-view of fashion and neatness, to constructions of collar in which some stitching is visible in wear.
  • a fabric blank for use in the construction of a collar top of a twopiece collar comprises an integral strip of fabric adapted in shape, on being folded along two lines across its width and on its ends being joined, to form a collar-shaped entity constituting the outer and inner plies of the collar top, the lines of the folds constituting the front edges of said collar top.
  • a method of manufacturing a collar top of a two-piece collar comprises the steps of folding a fabric blank, as defined above, along two lines across its width to bring its ends together and to present the reverse side of the fabric, joining the said ends, as by a row of stitches, to form a seamless outer ply and a seamed inner ply for the collar top, joining the said plies, as by stitching, along one edge in the length direction of the collar top, and turning the thus-joined assembly inside-out to present the correct side of the fabric.
  • the invention also consists in a collar top of a twopiece collar having front edges formed by folds in an integral strip of fabric constituting the inner and outer faces of the collar top.
  • an interliner will be used if the collar is for a shirt, rather than, say, a blouse; and therefore the process of the invention also includes the step or steps of incorporating an interliner prior to the everting of the collar top, when such interliner is desired.
  • the stitch- "ice less two-piece collar of the invention may include such interliner.
  • the end portions of the integral strip of fabric comprising the collar top blank shall be slightly less in width than the middle portion of the blank. This is because the joining of the front and back plies along one edge in the length direction of the collar top having taken place, and the assembly having been everted, then, when the other edge of the superimposed plies comes to be stitched, the levelling of the edges of the front and back plies at that edge will ensure that the junction line along the first stitched edge is pulled slightly away from the edge itself so as to be out of sight on the inner face of the collar top.
  • notches are cut in at least the top edge of the fabric blank at the two points of fold. This not only serves to identify the points of fold, but also ensures that the end points of the folded edges will not be bulbous.
  • FIGURE 1 is an integral fabric blank according to this embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is an interlining fabric ply for incorporation in a collar top of this embodiment of the invention
  • FIGURE 3 is a fusible interlining strip for bonding with the interlining of FIGURE 2;
  • FIGURES 4a and 4b are fusible patches, complete with stiffeners, for fusing to the fusible interlining strip of FIGURE 3;
  • FIGURE 5 is the interliner, comprising the ply of FIG URE 2, the fusible strip of FIGURE 3 and the fusible patches of FIGURES 4a and 4b, after assembly;
  • FIGURE 6 shows the integral fabric blank of FIG- URE 1 after folding along the two lines to form the front edges of the collar top and after joining of the ends;
  • FIGURE 7 shows the interliner assembly of FIGURE 5 superimposed on the folded blank of FIGURE 6, after the latter has been turned over laterally;
  • FIGURE 8 shows the assembly of FIGURE 7 following eversion
  • v FIGURES 9 and 10 are diagrammatic cross sections of the folded blank before and after the final stitching operation.
  • the integral fabric blank of FIGURE 1 is, it will be seen, cut out to provide two widened portions A, having relatively sharp peaks B symmetrically disposed on both longitudinal edges of the strip. Between the peaks, the strip narrows gradually to a mid-portion C which is slightly broader than the end-portions D. This relative difference in width is brought about by a slight change in the curve of the top edge of the strip, at each endportion, compared with the shape of the curve in the midportion. Notches E are cut in the top edge of the strip at the peaks.
  • the interlining fabric ply of FIGURE 2 is preferably made of the same fibre as the fabric blank.
  • the fusible interlining strip of FIGURE 3 and the patches of FIGURES 4a and 4b are all of light cotton fabric to which a bonding material has been applied. Stiffeners F are already incorporated in the patches.
  • the interliner assembly of FIGURE 5 is made up by bonding the patches to the strip and the strip to the inter inside out.
  • FIGURES 9 and 10 I diagrammatically in FIGURES 9 and 10.
  • FIGURE 6 shows howthe end-portions D are joined by stitching at G; and it shows how the top edge C of the lower ply is slightly proud, at the centre, of the top edge of the seamed upper ply.. The bottom edge of the lower ply is even with the bottom edge of the upper ply.
  • the folding of the integral fabric blank along the lines joining the peaks B produces the front edges K of the collar top; and this folding is carried out so that the reverse side of the fabric is outermost at this stage of the manufacturing process.
  • FIGURE 9 The displacement of the junction line K is illustrated In FIGURE 9 been everted.
  • FIGURE 10 the edges of the end portions D have been made fiush with the edge of the midportion C, thereby displacing the junction line K, and the stitching J has been completed.
  • the interlining has been omitted from FIGURES 9 and 10.
  • the invention provides a stitchless collar having the above-stated advantages ever known stitchless collars, and that it does this in amanner requiring less stitching than known two-piece collar constructions and only little more stitching than known one No extra fabric, compared drafting.
  • the invention has been proved to be of use in connection with nylon warp-knitted shirts, employing warp-knit nylon fabric for the fabric blank, with all types of interlining plies, whether of cotton or of nylon. tion is not, however, limited to the use of any particular material for the collar top, nor to the use of such collar
  • a method of manufacturing a collar top of a twopiece collar comprising the steps of (a) cutting out a fabric blank in the form of an elongated strip of fabric having a middle portion and two end portions of slightly lesser width than the middle portion, said blank being shaped such that, on being folded along two .spaced lines across its width and on its ends being joined, a collar-shaped entity is produced with the lines of the folds constituting the front edges of the entity,
  • said blank in the unfolded state being of elongated shape I having a middle portion and two end portions of slightly lesser width than said middle portion, said blank in the folded state being folded along two spaced lines across its width to bring its ends into close proximity and to form two plies; a first seam joining said ends; a second seam joining one edge of each ply to the superimposed edge of the adjacent ply; the other edge of each ply being levelled with the edge of the adjacent ply andjoined .by a third seam whereby the junction line formed by said second seam is displaced out of sight in' the completed collar top as a result of the lesser width of said end portions.
