'.lO ALL WHOM Il MAYOONCERN:

Be it known that I, GEORGE F. PERKINS, ofthe city, county, and State of'New Yorlc,-haveinvcnted a new and useful Improvement in Combined Paper Collar and Cravat; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

4 Figure 1 represents a front view of my invention when folded for use.

Figure 2 is a front view-lof the same when opened.

Figure 3 is a similar detail view showing two side of the cravat.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a. combined paper collar and cravat, the cravat being formed on the collar, both being cut from one piece of paper. The collar may be stamped or printed, or otherwise receive any suitable design, as well on both as one of its sides.

This invention will be of great convenience, especially for travellers, as a collar and Gravat can be very easily adjusted. Whenever a separate cravat is to be worn, it can either be applied over the paper cravat, or the latter can be cut off the collar.

A represents a paper collar, made of any suitable kind of paper, of any suitable shape, and embroidered, colored, printed, impressed, or otherwise ornamented in vany suitable manner. B is the cravat, which is a picce A of paper, of suitable shape, and colored or ornamented in any suitable manner, formed on -the lower edge of the collar, near to one end of the saine, as shown in iig. 2. The cravat and collar are cut out of one single piece of paper, in the form shown in the drawings.

When to be used, the cravat is folded into the collar, around the line a; iig. 2, and its free end 1s, when the deviceis applied, placed into the opposite end of the collar, as in iig. 1. The paper collars can be worn on .both sides, by coloring or ornamenting the cravat also on both sides, as in fig. 3. Great variations in color and design of the collar and eravat should be admitted.

The cravat, when made as described, can also be used as a holder for aslip or butterfly, or other suitable device.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The reversible paper cravat B, on the lower edge of one end of ithe collar, and cut in one and the same piece' with the latter, adapted to be folded into said collar above the line a, and itsfree end inesrted in the opposite end of the collar, as herein shown and described.

GEORGE F. PERKINS.
