JAMES F. (JONNELL, OF BAZINE, KANSAS;

COLLAR-PROTECTOR.

Specification of Letters Patent. 7

Patented Jan. 2, 1906.

Application filed May 11,1905. Serial No. 259,985.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, J AMES F. UoNNnLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bazine, in the county of Ness and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Collar-Protectors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a lining for collars and comprises, essentially, a detachable flexible stay, of rubber, celluloid, or other suitable material, and means whereby it can be se-' curely attached to the collar without detracting from the comfort of the wearer.

It has for its object to produce a device of this character which will effectively prevent perspiration or moisture from coming into contact with the collar and which will at the same time be simple and durable in construction.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device, partly in section. Fig. 2 is a cross-section taken through the spring-clip. Fig. 3 is a detached perspective view showing the parts separated.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.

The numeral 1 designates the lining or stay proper, which has its lower edge turned or rolled up at 2, so as to fit over and grip the lower edge of the collar 3. This curved edge also prevents the device from being uncomfortable on the neck of the wearer. It will be observed that the upturned portion 2 of the lining is bent inward along its upper edge at 4, so that owing to its resiliency it acts like a spring-clip to hold the collar and lining in proper relative position. Spring-clips 7 may also be employed to hold the device in position. They fit around the lower side of the collar, as best seen in Fig. 2. and the ends of their inner arms are passed through openings or slits 8 in the liningl. This prevents their hurting the neck or otherwise causing discomfort to the wearer.

In operation the lining 1 is placed in position on the inside of the collar 3, so that the upturned edge 2 clasps the bottom of the collar. The spring-clips 7 are then attached, as heretofore described, and the collar worn as usual. Since the liningl is made of some material not affected by moisture or heat, it will be evident that the collar is prevented from injury due to perspiration and will not wither in warm weather, as is commonly the case.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is p 1. In combination a lining for collars having a suitable opening therein, and a springclip for attaching the lining to the collar, the inner member of the clip being adapted to pass through the before-mentioned opening in the lining.

2. The combination of a lining for collars having a suitable opening therein and having an edge rolled back upon itself and inward to clasp an edge of the collar, and a spring-clip for attaching the lining to the collar, the inner member of the .clip being adapted to pass through the before-mentioned opening in the lining.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
