Application January 5, 1944, Serial No. 517,036
4 Claims. (Cl. 2-132) Our invention relates to a new and improved collar, which can be afiixed to 'a'shirt, or which can be sold as a detachable collar. The invention relates particularly to an improvement in the outer band or face band of a collar of the familiar:
type, in which an outer band is attached to an inner band or neckbandat the top fold line of the collar.
According to our invention, we provide the corners of the outer bandor face band of the necktie, with flexible chain weights, so that said corners remain straight and lie properly, even if the collar is unstarch'ed. By using flexible chain weights which havelittl'e or no inherent stiffness, instead of non-bendable wires or the like, we provide a face band whose points remain properly extended so as to present a neat "appearance, and the corners remain freely bendable, so that the collar can be laundered by hand or by machine, in. the usual manner;
Numerous additional objects of our invention are stated in the annexed description and drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments thereof.
Fig. l is a partial front elevation of the outer bandor face band ofa collar, which illustrates how theflexible chains are connected to said face band, at its corners. In this view, part of the representation of the lining layer of said face band of the collar has been omitted.
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a partial elevation of the completed face band, after it has been turned from the initial stage which is shown. in' Figs. 1 and 2.
Fig. 4 is an enlarged section onthe line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a view, similar to Fig. 1, illustrating a modified method of making the face band of the improved collar.
Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 5.
Fig. 7 is a similar view to Fig. 3, showing the finished face band which is made according to said modified method.
Fig. 8 is an enlargedsection on the line 88 of Fig. 7.
Fig. 9 is a partialfront elevation of a finished collar. I
Fig. 10 illustrates a modification, in which the chain is connected to a flexible tape, and said chain and its tape are then connected to the face band of the collar.
Fig. 11 shows the sub assembly of the-flexible chain and the flexible tape.
Fig. 12 is a section 'on' the line I2'-*--- l2 of Fig. 11.
Fig. 13=is an enlarged section of the embodiment of. Figs. 10-12, similar to Figs. 4 and 8.
In the first embodiment of Figs. 1-4, the fabric layer H is the final outer layer of the finished face band F, the fabric layer in is the final inner layer of said finished face band, and the fabric layer. I2 is the final intermediate layer or lining layer of such finished face band.
Said fabric layers II], II, and I2 are first assembled as shown in Fig.2; with the layer ll located between layers It) and i2, and two chains l3 located at each corner C of said assembly. Each chain I3 is thus located between the layers I I and I2.
These initially assembled 'fabric layers are stitched together at the bottom edge B of said assembly and at each upstanding edge E of said assembly, by means of two parallel "rows of stitches l4. Each chain I3 is thus frictionally held at the respective corner C; against shifting relative to the layers. E'ach chain I3 is of maxi-.
mum flexibility, and it is made of very fine links, bars, etc., so that it is as flexible, or almost as flexible, as the assembled layers. Since the links or other elements of each chain l3 are pivotally connected to each other, said chains l3l impart little or no stiffness to the layers at the corners C.
standing edge E, and the layers H and I2 havinginturned abutting edge-portions at each said edge E. E ach' chain l3. at each corner 0, is located between the inturned edge-portion of inner layer l0, and the inturned edge-portion of layer II. The same edge-construction is produced at the bottom-edgeaB of the finished face band F.
According to the modified method which is illustrated in Figs. 5-8, the layers 10, II :and I2, initially assembled as. shown in Fig. 6, are stitched to each other at each upstanding edge E and the bottom edge B, by a single line of stitches. The top edges of said layers 10,. H and I2 remain unconnected toeachothengas in :the "first embodiment.
* layers la are integral at one end of said pocket.
. are connected by lateral stitches I1. l3 and its tape i5 are freely bendable, as a'subwhich coincide with stitches edge-portions of the elements or parts of the 1 finishedface-band. As in the'previous embodi.
- I0, H and I2 can'be firststitched to each other 4:. :by-oneormore rows of stitches along edges 13 starched collar.
The initial assembly of Fig. 6 is then turned, so as to locate layer l2 between layers in and H. Two chains I3 are then inserted at each corner C, so that said chains l3 are associated with the layers in the manner shown in Fig. 1. The lay- 5 ers III, II and [2 are then connected to each other at the bottom edge B and at the upstanding edges E, by supplemental stitches Ida, which are parallel to stitches it. The chains 3 at each corner C are thus frictionally clamped or 10 held in position. Each chain I3 is then located between the body of layer I2, and the inturnededge-portion of said layer [2.
In each embodiment illustrated in Figs. 4 and 8, the layer H may be the outer layer or the inner layer of the finished face-band F, sothat either the layer It! or the layer H may be the face layer of the face band F of the completed collar which is shownin Fig. 9. In this completed collar, the face band is connected at its top to the top of the neckband in any suitable manner, so that the collar has a top fold-line.
iEa'ch chain produces a bulge at the respective part of the finished face-band.
In the third embodiment, each flexible chain i3 is initially enclosed between the layers 415a of a flexible tape l5 by means of longitudinal stitches [5. Each chain 43 is thus frictionally held in the pocket of the respective tapev i5. The
do At the other end of said pocket, the layers 15a Each chain unit.
,In the turned and finished face-'bandF which:
is illustrated in Fig. 13, each said sub-unit abuts an exterior face of the layer M. Stitches i l,
it, connect the 40 ments, either the layer H or the layer it] may be the outer or face layer of the face-band in the completed collar.
{In making the third embodiment, the'layers andE, and the assembly can then beturned so as to locate layer l2 between layers i2 between layers ill and II.
Eafchsaid subeunit-"l3 l5 can then be applied iio to a'respective edge portion of the layer It], and each said sub-unit can then be connected to the edge portions of said layers, at each corner C by additional stitches which pass through the fabric layers a and which miss the chain id.
The links or bars of each chain !3 can be made off-metal or other suitable material.-
The weight of the two chains l3 at each corner C, hold each corner portion of theface band in straight and extended formation, as in attic However, each corner portion of the face band remains freely bendable; to the same extent or almost to the same extent as though the chains l3 were omitted. The bottom chains l3 are designated as chain means. .The te chains i3. may produce a local stiffeningeffect.
Each chain is therefore a bendable reinforcing member, since it may impart a local stiffening effect, and it increases the thickness of the face band, at thearea where the respective chain is applied.
The length of each upstanding chain is equal to or a little less than, the length of the respective upstanding edge E. The chain [3 which follows the bottom edge B at each corner C, may
be longer than the length of the edge E, in any desired excess length. The bottom chains I3 thus hold the bottom edge B down, thus preventing undesirable wrinkling or curling effects.
The invention includes a collar in which the upstanding chains [3 are omitted, although it is preferred to use said upstanding chains. In each embodiment, the longitudinal edges of each chain or reinforcing member, are located between the longitudinal edges of the inturned edge-portions at the respective free edge of the neckband. In'each embodiment, each chain or reinforcing member is held clamped to the faceband by two rows of stitches, between which the longitudinal edges of the reinforcing member are lobated. The reinforcing members are therefore free from stitches, between the longitudinal edges of said reinforcing members.
We have disclosed preferred embodiments of our invention, but numerous changes and omissions and additions can be made without departing from the scope of our invention.
The part of the edge-portion of the collar which is provided with the chain, can be, bent into curved form, with the corner C touching the face-band of the collar, at the respective opposite end of the respective chain. The chain then imparts resilience to the respective edge-portion, so that said edge-portion springs back into straight-line shape, or substantially to straightline shape, when said corner C is released. If said edge-portion is straightened, it keeps its shape. The links of the chain have a flattened shape- We thus increase both the weight and resilience of theface-band at its respective edgeportions, without using any springs or the like.-
