IMPROVEMENT IN COLLARS.

Specification forming part ox' Letters Patent No. 197,807, dated December@ 1877; No. bfated April 9, 1878; application filed March 11, 187,8. v

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WASHINGTON WrLsON, of the city, county, and State of N ew York, have invented a new and Improved Collar, of which the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l .represents a side elevationof my improved indicate correreGk-handinsuch annanuer that theollar is prevented from overriding it, resulting vin a more comfortable t.

The invention consists of a standing or other collar, having curved -and graduated Ybands that extend along the lower edge of the collar, either from the center ofthe collar, or from any other point between center and ends, to and beyond the ends of the collar. The rear button-hole is thrown intothe top or body of; the collar above the band or binding of the same.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a standing or other collar of my improved construction, and. B the curved and graduated bands, which extend from the center ofthe collar or any other point between the center and ends,and continue along the lower part of the top or body of the collar, with a graduated curve' and increasing width, to and beyond the ends of the collar, the ends being curved in the same manner as in ordinary bands. y

The bands B are made either to overlap the collar proper, or the collar is made to Overlap xthe bands; or one part of the bands laps over the collar ends, while the remaining partis voyer'lapped byfthe collar, s'o as to obtain smoothly-covered joints at both meeting ends of collar and graduated bands. 'f

The bead or binding 4formed by. the connec tion of collar and band mayalso becontinued,l

if desired, along the lower edge of ,that partof the collar-body between the bands, so. as

to connect the graduated bands, and impart thereby a more ornamental appearance to the collar.

The rear button-hole a is arranged in the top or body of the collar above the bead or binding at the lower edge of the same, which position of the button-hole, in connection with the graduated bands,xproduces a Ycollar that hugs the neck-band in superior y manner without springing back, so as to come in lcontact with thecoat-collar. 'The shorter graduated bands produce also a considerable saving of material as compared to the old style of continuous band, that extends Yat uniform Width along the lower'part of Athe collar.

" Bavin'g tlius describedmyinvention, I claim as new and desire to Asecureby Letters Pat# entof the parts B B, curved and tapered, or decreasingly graduated from the ends toward. themiddle, as shown and described.
