United States Patent O HANDKERCHIEF William W. Creighton, Campbell, Calif.
Application March 26, 1956, Serial No. 573,700
1 Claim. (Cl. 2-279) This invention relates to an ornamental handkerchief, and it particularly relates to an ornamental handkerchief worn in a man's coat breast-pocket.
In order for a man to be completely groomed, he must wear a handkerchief in the breast-pocket of his jacket in such position that the upper portion thereof peeks out above the pocket. It is, therefore, necessary for the wearer to buy various handkerchiefs of the desired color or design and to spend many minutes in folding the handkerchief into the proper folds and inserting it into the pocket in proper position. This involves so much time and trouble that often, especially when the man is in a hurry, he doesn't bother to use such handkerchief.
It is also often the case that the handkerchief, which must be constantly washed or sent to the laundry, may be lost, or improperly ironed so that it cannot be properly folded.
It is, therefore, one object of the present invention to provide an ornamental handkerchief which does not require any folding or manipulation.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an ornamental handkerchief which cannot be lost or improperly laundered or ironed.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an ornamental handkerchief arrangement wherein by a very simple manipulation, the color or design of the observed handkerchief is changed as desired.
Other objects of the present invention are to provide an improved ornamental handkerchief, of the character described, that is easily and economically produced, which is sturdy in construction, and which is highly efficient in operation.
With the above and related objects in view, this invention consists in the details of construction and combination of parts as will be more fully understood from the following description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which:
Fig. l is a front elevational view of a handkerchief embodying the present invention, shown in position in the breast-pocket of a suit jacket.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged, detailed, front elevational view of the handkerchief in the pocket.
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the handkerchief in the pocket.
Fig. 4 is a Vertical sectional view of the pocket and handkerchief arrangement with one handkerchief portion showmg.
Fig. 5 is a view, similar to Fig. 4, of' another handkerchief portion showing.
Referring now in greater details to the drawing wherein similar reference characters refer to similar parts, there is shown a suit jacket 10 having a breast-pocket 12 constructed in the ordinary manner.
Within the pocket 12 is shown a flap 14 and a flap 16 each of which may be made of Dacron, nylon, linen, silk or any other desired material. Preferably, the material should be such that it is easily cleaned at the same time as the suit itself.
Each flap 14 and 16 is shown as being constructed of a double ply construction with a straight overlapped edge at the top. This is in accordance with the present style trend of ornamental handkerchiefs which requires that only a small straight-edged portion show outside the pocket. However, if the fashion should change so that points, diagonal edges or any other configuration becomes the style, the flaps could be constructed in that fashion within the scope of this invention.
The flaps 14 and 16 are individually connected to the inside of the pocket as by sewing flap 14, at its lower end, to the inside of the pocket wall, as at 18, and by sewing the lower end of flap 16 to the body of the jacket at the portion which forms the inside wall of the pocket, this sewing being shown at 20.
The flaps are of individual colors or designs and are used alternatively. In this manner, if the color or design of flap 14 is desired, thisflap is pulled up into sight while flap 16 is tucked into the pocket, out of Sight, as shown in Fig. 4. On the other hand, if the color or design of flap 16 is desired, this flap is pulled up into sight and flap 14 is tucked into the pocket, as in Fig. 5.
Although this invention has been des'cribed in considerable detail, such description is intendled as being illustrative rather than limiting, since the invention may be variously embodied, and the scope of the invention is to be determined as claimed.
Having thus set forth and disclosed the nature of this invention, what is claimed is:
In a jacket breast pocket wherein the body of the jacket forms the rear wall and a front panel the front Wall thereof, an ornamental handkerchief assembly comprising two simulated handkerchief folded flaps connected within said breast pocket, each stitched at its lower end inside said breast pocket to an opposite wall of said breast pocket, each flap being of such length to project above said front wall of said pocket when in upright position and to be folded into the pocket out of sight when in its lowcred position, each of said flaps being positioned and arranged to be tucked down in said pocket, out of Sight, when the other of said flaps is in its upright position.
