SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 755,781, dated AMarch 29, 1904.
Application filed May 21,1902. Serial No. 108,395. (No model.) i
.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HOWARD SAUNDERs LAN- IER, a citizen of the United States; residing at Danville, in the county of Pittsylvania and State of Virginia. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Overalls; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others s'killed in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention consists in the novel features hereinafter described, reference being had to the .accompanying drawings, which illustrate one form in which I have contemplated embodying my invention, and said invention is fully disclosed in the following description and claims.
Referring to the said drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a pair of overalls embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the lower part of one of the leg portions, showing the preliminary folding of the cloth to form the bottom edge. Fig. 3 is a similar view'showing the final fold. Fig. 4 is a similar view showing a modified form of hem.
The object of my invention is to provide the bottom portions of the legs of overalls and the like with a hem formed without additional pieces of cloth, which will lieentirely on the outside of the leg, so as to offer no obstruction to the foot in putting on the garment and which will reinforce the garment at the point where it is subjected to greatest wear.
In Figs. l, 2, and 3 I have illustrated the preferred form of my invention, according to which I first turn a hem on the inside of the leg in the usual manner and stitch it as shown in Fig. 2. In these figures A represents the leg of the overalls. The preliminary hem is formed by turning up a fold or flap a on the inside of the leg of substantially the width of the desired finished hem, although this is not absolutely essential, and then turning upanother fold, a', so as to bring the fold ct between the fold ct and the leg portion A. I then prefer to stitch the hem adjacent to its upper edge, as shown at I). I then fold the entire preliminary hem over upon the outside of the leg portion A on the line of the upper edge of thehem, as indicated atm, Fig. 2, and as clearly shown in Fig. 3, and I then attach the completed hem to the leg -portion A by one, two, Vor more rows of stitches, (two rows, indicated at 0 c, being shown,) which pass through all the several thicknesses of the hem and through the leg portion A. It will be seen that when completed this hem provides four thicknesses of material around the bottom of the leg, all of which are on the outside, thus heavily reinforcing the bottom portion of the leg and yet offering no obstruction whatever to the foot or shoe of the wearer in putting on the garment. v
As will be seen in Fig. 3, the row of stitches t does not extend to the inside of the leg when the hem is finished, and is therefore prevented from coming into contact with the shoe of the wearer. This relieves these stitches from the severe wear to which they would otherwise be subjected and makes it unlikely that they will become destroyed. Should they give way for any reasonfor example, by rotting out owing to dampness to which they may have been subjected-the hem will still be securely held in position by the upper row or rows of stitches c c, so that it will retain its shape and position even if the stitches b are entirely destroyed.
lIn Fig. 4 I have shown a slight modication of my invention,v in which I turn up two folds a2 co3 on the outside of the leg A', secure the hem so formed by one, two, or three rows of stitches d 0l passing through the folds and the leg portion A, as shown. This forms a strong and durable construction, but is open to the objection that it shows the wrong side of the goods, which is not the casein my preferred form.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. As an article of manufacture, a pair of overalls having the lower portion of each leg provided with a reinforcing-hem, formed of folds of the material of the leg and turned on the outer side of the leg portion, certain folds being permanently united by a row of stitches not passing through the leg portion and the entire hem being further secured by stitches passing through the folds of the hem and the leg portion whereby if one set of stitches should rot or break the other set will hold the hem in position, substantially as described.
2. As an article of manufacture, a pair of overalls having the lower portion of each leg provided with a reinforcing-hem, formed of folds of the materialof the leg portion and turned on the outside of the leg portion, the outermost fold showing the outer face of the material, certain folds of the hem beingr permanently united by a row of stitches adjacent to the lower edge of the hem, which do not pass through the leg portion, and the hem being further secured by a row of stitches adjacent to the upper edge of the hem which pass through the hem and the leg portion, substantially as described.
3. A pair of overalls having the lower portion of each leg provided With a reinforcinghem, formed of folds of the material of the leg portion, said folds lying entirely on the outside of the leg portion, and the folds being so arranged that the outermost fold shows the outer face of the material, a row of stitches passing through said hem and leg portion and
