UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEo W'ILLIAM KAHLER, OF DRUMMOND, VISOONSIN, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO ISADORE SWTABAOKER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

APPAREL-CUFF.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 386,637, dated July 24, 1888.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, NVILLIAM KAHLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Drummond, in the county ot' Bayfield and State of 5 \Visconsin,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cuffs; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

rIhe object ofniy invention is the prod uetion Io of a enti' adapted to be retained in the desired position on the wrist of the wearer by the coatsleeve without securing it to the shirt-sleeve. This object is accomplished by the construe tion illustrated in the accompanying drawings,

I5 in which- Figure 1 is a top view of the calf extended on a horizontal plane. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the en' with the ends brought together.and Fig. 3 shows the cuff in its position in the 2o sleeve of a coat.

Arepresenisthe eut't', of linen,paper,orother suitable material, having its upper and lower edges a a Curved on substantially parallel lines, and its ends a2 straight and radial to the 25 ou rved edges,so that when the ends are brought together, as in Fig. 2, the upper and lower edges will be on parallel planes, and the cuff will presenta frusto-eonieal shape. The usual button-holes b are provided in the lower corners for a cuff-button, and in one of the upper 3o corners is a button-hole, c, and in the other corner a suit-able number of buttoaholes c c2 c3 at different distances from the end. The lower corners are connected by a button in the holes b,and the upper corners are then connected by 35 a button in the hole c and through one of the holes c', o", or c, as may be required to make the cuff of the desired size and taper to fit properly in the end of the coatsleeve O.

Coat-sleeves being usually made more orless 4o tapering at the end,the cuff can readily be adjusted by bnttoning through the proper hole c', c2, or ca to lit snugly in the end ot' the coatsleeve, so that it will not become displaced in ordinary use. 4.5

What I claim is- The cuff A, having the curved upper and lower edges a a and radial ends athe buttonholes b in the lower corners, the button-hole c in one ofthe upper corners,and a series of ad- 5o justing buttonholes c2, 85o., in the other oorner, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

WILLIAM KAHLEE.
