DRESS SHIELD.
urLIoAKTIoN FILED un. 2v, 1904.
4LILLIAN LOCKIE, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
Speccation of Letters Patent. Application filed April 27, 1904. Serial'Nc. 205,212.
Jratenteol Maron 13, 1906.
To all whom it may concern,.-
Be it known that I, LILLIAN LooKIE, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county. of San Francisco and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dress-Shields;
A and'I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,.such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use'the same.
My present invention relates to certain improvements 1n dress-shields which are designed to shield the wearer s dress from the destructive effects of perspiration. In' relieving the dress from direct contact with this perspiration the shields must necessarily have to receive what is warded off from the dress, and consequently their life is corre- 'spondingly impaired. Now to provide a shield capable of withstanding the destructive effects of thisv perspiration is the prime object of myk present invention. I accomplish these ends by combining the several parts composing the shield in such a manner as to render them capable of being readily disconynected from each other for purposes of relatively separate cleansing.` In carrying out my invention I have not overlooked such important matters as structural simplicity, lightness, and economy.
My invention more particularly resides in the novel combination, construction, and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, and set forth in the appended claim.
The objects of my invention I am enabled to accomplish by the'means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is an outline view of the bust of a person, showing the manner of positioning my shield. Fig. V2A is a perspective view of the/complete shield. Fig. 3 is a central longitudinal section. Fig. 4 `is a similar view showing the inner and outer portions of the shield separated from each other. I/willfnow describe the construction of my invention, reference being had to the above views by letter.
The main body of the shield is formed of two segments AA', j oinedtogether to form, essentially, anelliptical surface. The material composing the body of the shield-is rubber-coated 0n the inside or prepared in such a A manner asv to prevent the passage of pers iration. Having the same outline as the ody of the shield is the member B, which is secured to and against, the body by means of snap-clasps C. These clasps are distributed at Vproper intervals along the outer curved borders of the body of the shield and the member B. As a means for holding in position ythis shield on the arm of the wearer I have provided theadjustable elastic strap D,
which is secured to the body of the shield and after passing through eyelets -E in vthe-member B extends over the shoulderof the wearer. The free extremity of the strap D is provided with a small, hook a, which is arranged toengage with any one of a series of eyes secured -at proper intervals on the strap D.
In order to hold the member A in position on the arm, I have provided the elastic strap F, which passes through the member B and over the arm and is adjustable in a mannersimilar to that described when referring to strap D. The little safety-pin e, which is suspended from the strap D, is for the purpose of fastening to the shoulder of the undergarment of the wearer to prevent any shifting of the shield. The perforations O insure proper ventilation. l
As a means-for holding the memberA flat against the wearer I have provided the small safety-pinsf and g, which are suspended from elastic tabs f and g andare adapted to be pinned to the corset-cover or other garment of the wearer.
.Now it will be readily seen from the above ydescription that after the member B, which comes in first direct contact'with the perspiration, becomes saturated to an extent which makes it liable to become foul or to emit any offensive odor, it can be readily removed from the body of the shield and washed and ironed, thereby presenting a new ap earance for subsequent use. The body 'of t e shield owing to its composition cannot be subjected to this washing and ironing process; but in order to thoroughly cleanse it I simply sponge it off with alcohol, which readily evaporates and leaves the shield clean and ready for immediateuse.
As the body of the shield and the straps and other securing means which are attached thereto form a relatively expensive portion of the shield, these may be used for a very -long timewithout danger of fouling or destruction, while the member B, which is made of any light inexpensive material, can be readily duplicated by any one having the slightest knowledge of such matters if after many cleansings it is found to be injured.
IDO
IIO
Aside from the sanitary advantages gained in makin it possible to have the shield continuously cIean and pure, the economic value of the device will be readily appreciated by women generally, especially at this time, when the shirt-waist is so universally used.
I am aware that changes in the form and proportion of parts of the devices herein shown and described as an embodiment of my invention can be made without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof, and I therefore reserve the right to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the scope of my invention.
Having thus fully described my invention,
lwhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent7 is- A dress-shield provided with an inner and an outer portion7 one of said portions being waterproof while the other portion is of a washable material and formed with a lnesh, eyes formed near the edges of said portions, straps passing through said eyes and by means of which said portions are removably held together, said straps forming loops which pass around the wearers arm, and a plurality of tabs for holding said shield in position relative to the corset waist of the wearer, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
