MORRIS H. ROSEN AND JOSEPH HERMAN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SHIRT-COLLAR.

Application filed February 17, 1913.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, MORRIS H. Rosnn and JOSEPH HERMAN, citizens of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shirt-Collars; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to convertible collars and has for an object to provide means for causing a collar to assume a low or military effect.

A further object of this invention is a provision of a collar which may be made detachable from or integral with a shirt, which collar has a tab to assume a position against the stand of said collar in either the front or back thereof as desired.

A further object of this invention is a provision of a tab made integral with the stand of a collar which tab is concealed by the leaf of said collar at the rear thereof when a low.collar is desired and which tab passes about the front of said collar under the leaf when a military or high collar is desired.

Further objects will be apparent from the following specification, appended claim and drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shirt having this invention applied thereto, Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view showing the principle of the tab and its construction, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a detachable collar made in accordance with our invention.

In certain styles of collars particularly those made of soft materials, it is desired to provide means which permits the collar to assume a low position or to ha-ve the ends thereof which meet in the front assumea standing position so as to present a military effect. 7 I

As shown in the drawings 10 indicates a shirt to which is secured a stand 11 and to which stand is secured a leaf 12. The stand is of less width at its ends in front than at the rear of the collar as in the common types to permit the collar to be low in front, The stand is made in the usual way having the inner ply of fabric 13 and the outer plies 1A and 15 which plies meet as at 16 Specification of Letters Patent.

and continue in a tab 17. It will be noted that the tab is made integral with the stand and is composed of extensions from the plies of fabric constituting the stand. The stitching indicated at 18 holds the plies of fabric 13, 14 and 15 in fixed relation to one another but terminates at the point 16 where the stitching 19 used in holding the plies of fabric constituting the tab also terminates.

The free end of the tab- 17 is provided with a fastening means such as a buttonhole 20 to receive a button 21 carried by the stand at any desired point to receive the end of the tab after having passed across the back or front. of the collar. One end of the stand terminates in a tab 22 as of the usual construction while the opposite end of the stand carries buttons or other fastening means 23.

As the back of the stand is of greater width than the front and the tab 17 is of the same width as the back of the stand it is apparent that when the tab 17 is placed across the front of the stand it raises the line upon which the ends of the leaf are folded to present the desired military effect. lVhen the low type of collar is desired this tab is passed across the back of the stand as shown in Fig. 3 and secured in that-position when the leaf may be folded to present a collar of the common type.

Modifications may be made within the scope of this invention and therefore the drawings are submitted for illustrative purposes only.

Having thus described our invention, we claim:

In a convertible collar comprising a stand and a leaf, said stand being of unequal width in front and back, a tab formed integral with said stand, said tab being formed of continuations of the fabric comprising the stand, said tab having a width equal to that of the back of the stand and said tab passing across the front of the stand to produce a stand of the desired width when so de sired.

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
