MAX BORNSTEIN, OF SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.

OWF-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 760,176, dated May 17, 1904. Application filed November 14, 1903. Serial No. 181,244. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAX BoRNs'TEIN, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the city of Seattle, county of King, State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cuff-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in cuff-holders, and has for its objects to provide simplified and inexpensive means for maintaining a detachable cuff in correct position on the sleeve of the shirt.

The above-named and other desirable objects are attained by the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as disclosed on the accompanying drawings, set forth in this specification, and succinctly pointed out in the appended claim.

With reference to the drawings filed herewith and bearing like reference characters for corresponding parts throughout, Figure l is a View in perspective of a portion of a shirt-sleeve with a detachable cuff in place thereon and my improved holder in position to hold the cufl1 from displacement. Fig. 2 is a similar view to Fig. 1, but shows the holder in open position, and Fig. 3 is alongitudinal section of a portion of a shirt-sleeve with av detachable cuff and the holder attached thereto and shown in like section.

My invention includes a comparatively broad strip 'or band, as 10, which is preferably composed of fabricated material of the same Itexture and pattern as the shirt and is formed of suitable length to encircle the sleeve, as l1, of the shirt at the cuE-band 12, to

v .which the detachable cuff 14 is attached in the ordinary manner by a button passedk through the buttonhole of said band and cud.

This strip or band 10 is attached along one side edge to the shirt-sleeve just above the cuff-band 12 and is preferably permanently secured by stitching it to the sleeve along this edge at the proper distance from the cuff-band to bring the free side edge of the holder just below the outer edge of the cuff-band, so that a part of the holder will lie over the detachable cuff 14 about the end of the shirt-sleeve.

Informing thestrip or band l0 I preferably make it of suitable length to overlap at the ends when in position on the-sleeve, and

at the outer corners of the ends of the strip or band are arranged a buttonhole 15 and button 16 as convenient means for securing these ends together, and thereby causes the strip or band 10 to bind upon the detachable cuff 14 when said button is engaged in the buttonhole, and consequently prevent the cuil from riding on the cuff-band at the point opposite to where it is buttoned thereto.

To place the cuff-on the sleeve of a shirt embodying my improved holder, the strip or band l() is first opened, and the cuff is then made fast to the cuff-band on the sleeve in the usual manner, after which the ends of the strip or band are fastened together with the band encircling the cuff.

-ThisV holder acts as a binder about the cuff, and being secured to the sleeve it keeps the cuff from shifting from position when the coat is removed. Furthermore, in case doubleended cuffs are worn, the holders act as protectors from dirt. for the inner ends of the cuffs. l

This device is simple and inexpensive and can be readily embodied with the shirt at the time of manufacture or at any time thereafter.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters' Patent of the United States, is-. v

The combination with a'shirt-sleeve and the Wristband thereof provided with means Whereby a detachable cuff may be secured to the Wristband, of a strip encircling the bandy and secured at its inner edge to the sleeve, the ends of the strip overlapping, and means to fasten 'the overlapping ends of the strip.

Signed at Seattle, Washington, this 4th day of November, 1903. Y s

MAX BORNSTEIN.
