Application filed July Q7, 18H3.

`hand protectors and pockets covered by a shield.

The invention also consists of various parts and details and combinationslof the same, as will be fully described hereinafter, and thenv pointed outin the claim.

Reference is to be had tothe accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specitication,

in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the gures.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of my improvement, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same showing the coatin use. The coat A is preferably made of proper oil cloth orother Water-proof material,and is closed entirely in front and open at the rear. The sleeves B of the coat A are each provided with a projecting iiap, O, extending from thelower end of said sleeve on the upper side. and

vadapted to be turned upon the sleeve and fasty ened thereto by means of buttons or other suitable devices.

Tol the front D of the coat A are secured a series of pockets, E, and a larger pocket, E', all covered by a shield or flap, F, secured by its upper edge and parts of its side edges to the frontD ofthe coat. The series of smaller pockets E are especiallyT adapted for the use of serial Nl. 209,233. (No model.)

drivers who also act as conductors, the pockets being used for the various money packages carried by the said drivers. The one large pocket E can be used for various purposes, es- `pecially to hold the watch, whistle, and other articles used by the driver when at work.

It will be seenthat, as car-drivers are exposedto the rain and snow at the front mainly, my improved coat will fully protect them from the rain or sleet, as the same cannot penetrate through the coat from the front, and at the same time the hands of the drivers are protected on top by the fiaps-Qwhich still permit him to use his hands for holding the reins or for operating the carbrake. y

The pockets E and E are protected by the shield F, which prevents the contents of the pockets from dropping out or getting wet, and permits free access tothe pockets whenever the ldriver has to make use of. the same. The pockets E and E may be varied in size and shape and their number increased or diminished to suit the especial use of the wearer.

The rear open part of the coat may be closed by means of buttons or other suitable devices, or left open, andthe flaps() may be held back on the sleevesB if asti materialisemployed.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and' desire to secure by Letters Patent- A coat closed in front and open at the rear,

,and provided with pockets secured to the front and a shield covering the said pockets, substantially as described.
