COLLAR Filed July 20, 1932 .1; van/L Z) 7'.
Patented Dec. 12, I933 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE COLLAR t Edward A. King, Boston, -Mass. Application July 20, 1932. Serial No. 623,509 r 7 Claimsp (01. 2-131) The principal object of 'my invention is to provide means for holding down neatly in place the flaps of turn-down collars of the so-called soft collar type, and preventing wrinkling of the flaps and curling up of the lower ends of the flaps.
A feature of my invention is that the holding down means is invisible from the outside of the collar. i Another feature is the insertion of material within the collar and along the end of the top portion of the collar as well as along the bottom edge of said top portion adjacent to said end to give stiffness and prevent wrinkles, this material being preferably permanent finish material.
Another feature is means, detachably connected with the flap and invisible from the outside of the collar, for holding the flap down in place.
Another feature is a brace extending from the bottom of the top portion of the collar to the end of said top portion for holding the flap down and also for holding in smooth condition the point of the collar.
Other features will be pointed out below.
In the drawing Figure 1 is an elevation of a collar embodying my invention, the collar being attached to a shirt b dy;
Figure 2 is an enlarged detail, showing a portion of the collar before the latter is turned to normal position;
Figure 3 is an inside view of a portion of a detached collar embodying my invention;
Figure 4 is a section on line 44 of Figure 3; and
Figure 5 is a section on line 55 of Figure 3, the hook being omitted. A
To the shirt 1 is permanently attached the collar comprising the band 2 and what is commonly called the top portion 2 being the exposed portion of the collar, and having flaps or points 3 and ends 3 The top portion comprises plies 4 and 5, of which I show two by way of example and these may be made of broadcloth or other suitable material and to them permanent finish stiffening material 6 is attached by stitching '7 and to them permanent finish stiffening material 8 is attached by stitching 9, the permanent finish material being sufiiciently stiff so that it will hold its shape. The portions 8 and 9 are pointed at their ends to facilitate the turning inside out of the collar, as described below. stiffening or reenforcing material 10 is inserted between the plies 4 and 5 in Figure 2 and extends from the bottom of the top portion of the collar and at an angle thereto to the end 3 of the collar, being held in'place near its ends by stitching 7 and stitching 9.
Strap 11, made of textile materiaL' passes through the slot 12 of hook member 13 and has its ends stitched betweenthe shirt and the band of 3 .the collar.
In the form of Figure 3 I show a detached collar 14 and in this form the hook 15 is connected by chain 16 with an eyelet or button 1''! engaging in'slot 18 of the collar band.
In making my collar the elements 6, 8and 10 are conveniently stitched in place as shown in Figure 2 and then the top portion of the collar comprising the plies 4 and 5 are turned inside out so the members 6 and 8 are between the plies and mem- 7 her 10, in the form of a loop, is accessible at the inner side of the inner ply for engagement by the hook 13 or the hook 15. The member 10 has the function of acting as a brace or reenforcement to prevent curling up of the flap 3 but also 7 has the function of cooperating with the hook to hold the flap snugly down against the shirt.
The permanent finish material which I have described is not affected by laundering and gives stiffness so that I may dispense witha lining which makes a collar heavier and hotter. This stifiness makes the flaps or pointed portions of the collar lay down perfectly flat and remain so without curling or wrinkling.
My hook and loop act efficiently to'keep the flaps down against the shirt in flat and smooth position and when the hooks are in engagement with the loops they act to hold the necktie snugly and neatly in place between the loops and the upper part of the collar. It will be clear that the hooks are out of the way of the flaps when the collar is laundered.
What I claim is:
1. A device of the character described comprising a shirt structure consisting of a shirt 96 body and a soft turn-down collar, the latter having a flap; a loop at the inside of the flap and external thereto; a hook to engage around said loop; and means to hold said hook permanently to said shirt structure; said loop' and said hook 100 and said means being invisible from the outside of the collar.
2. 'A device of the character described comprising a shirt structure consisting of a shirt body and a soft turn-down collar permanently attached to said body and having a flap; a loop at the inside of the flap and external thereto; a hook to engage around said loop; and means to hold said hook permanently to said shirt struc- 11g I of the collar.
4. A device of the character described comprising a shirt structure consisting of a shirt body and a soft turn-down collar, the latter having a flap consisting entirely of textile material; and means, permanently attached to the shirt structure and invisible from theoutside of the collar and detachably connected with the, inside.
of the flap, for holding the flap down against the. body of the. shirt structure, the portion of said means which is detachably connected withthe inside of the flap. being movable with rela-- tion. to the flap when said, portion is connected with the flap,
5. A device of the character described comprising a. shirt.v structure consisting of a shirt body and a soft. turn-down collar, the latter having a flap; means, permanently attached to the shirt structure and invisible from the outside of the collar and including a flexible portion, for holding the flap down against the body of the shirt structure; and permanent finish material within the collar and located along the end of the top portion of the collar and having its edges unturned; and stitching through said material to hold it in place.
6. A device of the character described comprising a shirt structure consisting of a shirt body and a soft turn-down collar, the latter having a flap; means, permanently attached to the shirt structure and invisible from the outside of the collar and including a flexible portion, for holding the flap down against the body of the shirt structure; permanent finish material within the collar and located along the end of the top.- portion of the collar; and stitching through said material to hold it in place.
'1. A device of the character described comprising a shirt structure consistingof a shirt body and a soft turn-down collar, the latter having; a flap;,-a. loop at the inside of the flap and external thereto; a, hook to engage around said loop; means to hold said hook permanently to said shirt structure said loop, said hook and said means being invisible from the outside. of the collar; and permanently stiff fabric within the collar and located along the end of the top portion of the collar, said fabric cooperating with said; loop and hook to hold the flap down against the body of the shirt structure.
