SPECIFICATION forming part of LettersPatent No. 653,544, dated July 10, 1900. Application filell llpril 6,1960. Serial No. 11,857. (lldmodrL) T0 aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, JOE E. BURNSand ABE SOHEMEL, citizens of the United States of America, and residents of Springfield, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Jackets for Foot-Ball Players, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to improved protective or armored jackets for foot-ball players, the object being to produce a jacket for the upper part of the body which while very serviceable andv protective to the person of the player is so constructed as to be entirely comfortable and to give the greatest possible freedom of movement.
The invention consists in a jacket or protective garment composed of parts and appliances in combination and arrangement substantially as hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings,and set forth in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure l is a front view of the garment. Fig. 2 is a horizontal cross-sectional view in detail as taken on the line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one side half of the garment provided with a sleeve and having an additional protective pad at the elbow thereof.
The jacket or garment A comprises the two shells or halves B B, formed and fashioned to conform to the side halves of the upper body. Each half is composed of an outer thickness of heavy leather, such as sole-leather or rawhide, adapted to the form of the body by being molded while in a suitably-plastic condition and then permitted to harden and set. Each half or section B is provided at and along both its front and rear vertical edges with the band or stripb of webbing, preferably elastic webbing, and, as shown in Fig. 2, each strip 1) is formed double, inclosing between its fiat tube-like portion, which is disposed edgewise beyond the margin of the stiff shell proper, the reinforcing thickness d, of canvas or other suitable material. Each side half or shell, externally composed of leather, rawhide, or the like, has a lining f, of quite thick felt, and the aforesaid strips of the webbing b have their inner edge portions introduced between the outer stiff leather and the inner felt or lining and durably secured by a line or lines of stitching g. Said strips of webbing are provided with series of eyeleted holes h it, through which a lacing-cord is to be passed for uniting the side halves of the jacket.
At the arm-scye for each side half of the jacket, along the upper marginal portion thereof, is a series of perforations 2', and adjacent the said eyeleted upper marginal portion of the arm-scye is a pad 0, the edge portion of which has the eyeleted holesj, through which and the adjacent holes '5 the lacing-cord 11 is engaged for connecting the thick heavily-padded shoulder-top guard O to the said side half of the jacket. The pad may be made of an external thickness or thicknesses of flexible leather and filled with suitable padding material.
Connected to the edge of the shoulder-top pad or guard O which is opposite from the edge which is connected to the upper margin of the arm-scye is a secondary pad to overlie and partially surround the outer upper portion of the arm. This secondary pad D is joined to the shoulder-top pad by webbing, (indicated at 122,) said webbing being, prefer ably, elastic webbing.
The opposite and downturned edges of the guards or pads D D for the upper outer portions of the arms are constructed with straps or tapes 0 0, preferably of elastic webbing, the end of each of the tapes being secured by sewing or otherwise to one edge of the pad D, while its other end is provided with an eyeleted hole through which a cord 1) unites it with the eyeleted hole in the edge of the pad D opposite that from which the straps o are secured. The said straps 0 provide means for causing the pads D to partially encircle and closely adhere to the upper outer portion of the arm, the elastic webbing m, which con nects said pads with the shoulder-top pads, permitting the greatest possible freedom of movement of the pads D, especiallyforwardly and backwardly swinging movements which the pads D must have in conjunction with the arms, which they partially encircle.
Fig. 3 shows a half-section or side shell, the same as seen in duplicate in Fig. 1; but in this view the sleeve G is shown as connected in the arm-scye and the sleeve has at its elbow a protecting-pad 0 of much the same form and construction as the shoulder-top pad, but of course made properly smaller.
This jacket, comprising the substantiallyrigid shell B B to inclose the upper part of the body, efiiciently protects the collar-bone of the player, it being well known that in scrimmages in foot-ball games injuries to the collar-bone are of quite frequent occurrence.
We may advantageously construct each rigid half-shell B with a gore or section S, of elastic webbing, which is connected at the opposite vertical edges of an opening or cutout portion of the leather and its lining which extends from the lower edge of the arm-scye to the lower edge of said body-inclosing part B. (See Fig. 3.)
Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a protective garment comprising the two side shells B B, each consisting of an outer rigid layer such as molded leather, or rawhide, and having an inner lining of felt, and each section having at its front and rear edges which are to be adjoined, the flattened tube of elastic webbing sewed to the section B and having inclosed therein the reinforcing-strip and provided through the reinforced portion with a series of eyeleted holes through which a uniting lacing-cord for the front and rear junctions of the two shells may be passed.
2. A protective garment consistingof the body-inclosin g portions B 13 having at the top of the arm-scyes the flexibly-connected shoulder-top pads, C G, and the upper-arm pads D D flexibly connected to said pads O, and
' means for holding them closely about the portion of the arm for which they are provided.
3. A protective garment consisting of the body-inclosing portions having at the top of the arm-scye the flexibly-connected shouldertop pads O G, and the upper-arm pads D D connected to said pads C by elastic webbing, and means for holding them in their partial encircling embrace about the upper portion of the arm.
4. In a protective garment, the half-shells l3 13 having front and rear strips 1) b of webbing, reinforced, and eyeletprovided, and having at the arm-scyes, perforations ii, shoulder-top pads C 0, provided with corresponding series of perforations, lacing-cords, connecting through said perforations the pads C with their half-shells, the pads D D for the upper portions of the arms, having connection by the elastic webbings m m with the shoulder-top pads, and having the constructing-straps 0 0, all substantially as described and shown.
