Abstract

409,387. Shirts and collars. SHEPHERD, T. L., 18, Marlborough Street, and SHEPHERD'S SHIRTS, Ltd., 169, Western Road, both in Brighton. July 25, 1932, Nos. 11351/34, 11352/34, and 11353/34. Divided on 409,327. [Class 141.] The neckband of a shirt and a collar are maintained in wearing position without the aid of a back stud by the provision of interengaging ridges of non- compressible material, such as metal or celluloid. The ridges may be continuous or interrupted, and may take the form shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, in which the ridge on the collar is larger than that on the neckband so as to overlie it and increase the security against detachment. In the construction shown in Fig. 5, rubber or like cords c g which usually are of circular cross-section are enclosed in sheaths d, k, respectively, which may be of fabric or other material. The sheaths may be of resilient material enclosing hard cores. In Fig. 6 is shown a construction with the engaging surfaces of the ridges in an inclined direction to increase security. Other constructions are described in which the ridges are of various shapes in cross section.
