Feb. 25, 1958 E. A. HEDBRANDH 2,324,310
INSERTS FOR COLLARS File d Dec. 14, 1954 4 INVENTOR ERIC AL LAN HEDBRANDH' United States Patent INSERTS FOR COLLARS Eric Allan Hedbrandh, Halsingborg, Sweden Application December 14, 1954, Serial No. 475,105 Claims priority, application Sweden December 19, 1953 2 Claims. (Cl. 2-131) At the manufacture of collars, e. g. for mens shirts, the pieces of cloth forming the collar are sewn together with the wrong side outwards along three sides, whereupon the collar is turned so that the right sides of the pieces of cloth will be turned outwards. On account of the pieces of cloth which are twice folded when the collar is turned so as to present the right side outwards, the collar will present thickened portions along the margins, which is a disadvantage since these thickened marginal portions make it difficult to iron the collar and to obtain even and crease-free surfaces. Collars are often provided with inserts in order to ensure that the collar and, above all, the tips of the collar will remain straight and well-ironed when in use. Such inserts are often easily visible through the collar from its outer side, whereby they make the collars appearance less esthetical. Drawbacks indicated previously are particularly obvious in the shirts of nylon and similar synthetic material which are now coming more and more into use. The present invention relates to an insert for collars, e. g. on mens shirts of nylon and the like, said insert eliminating the drawbacks indicated previously and permitting the manufacture of collars presenting an exceedingly even and well-ironed surface even after being used for a long time and after being washed many times. The insert according to the invention is characterized for this purpose by the feature that the insert consists, at least at its portions intended for the tips of the finished collar, of two or more material layers which are formed of preferably separate pieces of cloth which have been attached to each other and are of sizes reduced by degrees in relation to each other, whereby the insert presents stepwise retracted margins.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description showing an embodiment, chosen by way of example, of the device according to the invention.
In the drawings,
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the insert, and
Fig. 2 is a section on line 11-11 of Fig. 1.
The insert shown in the drawing by way of example consists of a piece of cloth 1 extending along the whole collar, which is not indicated in detail, and largely having a form which is in agreement therewith. At its portions 2 intended for the tips of the finished collar the insert is rnulti-layered, the layers being formed of a stack of pieces of unfolded cloth and consisting of the piece of cloth 1 and two or more pieces of cloth 3 and 4 attached to each other and to the piece 1. The piece of cloth 4 is then preferably attached to the piece 3 by means of a seam 5 extending essentially along the sides of the said piece of cloth, whereupon the pieces 3 and 4 which have thus been attached to each other are attached to the piece 1 by "ice means of a seam 6 which also extends essentially along the sides of the said piece of cloth. It will be evident without further that it is not necessary to attach the pieces to each other by means of seams, but they can be attached to each other in another manner within the scope of the inventive idea. As appears from the drawing, pieces 1, 3 and 4 are of sizes reduced by degrees in relation to each other, whereby the finished insert will present stepwise retracted margins and thus present at the portions intended for the tips of the collar a thickness increasing from the margin towards the centre of the insert. It will be clear that when the pieces of cloth forming the collar proper are sewn fast to each other and to the insert 1 with the wrong sides outwards and the collar is then turned, so that the right sides of the collar pieces will be turned outwards, the collar will be of even thickness at the tip portions. Of course, the insert may consist of several pieces of cloth attached to each other along the whole extension of the insert. However, the collar tips are the most easily visible portion of the collar and are most exposed to creasing, for which reason it implies unnecessary waste of material to make the insert of several layers along its whole extension, and it is consequently sufficient to make the tip portions multi-layered.
After the pieces of cloth 3 and 4 have been attached to the piece 1 the insert is exposed to a temperature of between and C. and to heavy pressing. This is important but not absolutely necessary for the application of the invention. The pressing of the insert at a high temperature brings about a durable plane insert, which facilitates the manufacture of the collar and gives to the finished collar a durable and esthetical appearance.
Modifications are possible within the scope of the inventive idea as defined in the appendant claims.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a collar for shirts formed by a pair of cloth pieces sewn together and then turned inside out to form thickened edge portions, an interlining fastened within the collar comprising a large unfolded cloth piece having a size substantially equal to the size of the collar, a small unfolded cloth piece, and at least one intermediate cloth piece marginally reduced in size from said large cloth piece and marginally greater in size than said small cloth piece, said small cloth piece and said intermediate cloth piece being stacked on said large cloth piece to form an interlining with a stepwise retracted form, and fastening means for joining said unfolded cloth pieces together, said fastening means directly joining the large cloth piece and said intermediate cloth piece, and directly joining said intermediate cloth piece and said small cloth piece, and indirectly joining said large and said small cloth pieces situated on either side of an intermediate cloth piece of said interlining by means of said intermediate cloth piece, said interlining having a sufiicient number of cloth pieces in it to substantially equal the thickness of said thickened edge portion of said collar.
2. An interlining as claimed in claim 1 in which said fastening means comprise a plurality of seams, each of said seams joining one cloth piece of said interlining to only one adjacent cloth piece in said interlining.
