Pennsylvania Applicationrseptember 29,1941, Serial No.1412i'l81 ing sleeves g 1 It is anobject of this, invention "to provide a j garment construction embodying alining' comprising a body portion and sleeve Portions atv, tached thereto in such-manner as to provide de-V sirable ventilationgas well as the requisite and", desirable freedom of' movement on the part of the These and other objects a advantages-of. the v invention will appear from the following .descrip'+ j tiontaken in conjunction with-the aecompany in'g drawing. which forms .a part thereof," and 1:

Fig.. 3 is-an j enlarged section takensnbstam' ftially on the'line 3-; 0: Fig. 1 and showing'the construction of, the material which connects the body lining to-the sleeve lining. Y

Formerly, in constructing lined. garments-and -'garments"-having removable linings, .it was ex.-'g j i tremelydiflleult to secure suflicient freedom of 1 I. movement-between the sleeve lining andthe body liningtoprevent-.bindlngor restrlctiongof movei'nent;particularly at the' shoulder and/or. arm pit portions of the garment. Furthermore, since ntheseportionsgof the garment are subjected to most perspiration,v the problemiwa'scomplicated by the-difllcuity; orimpossibility, offlsecuring section taken: substantially 1 on the F 6 UNITED. STATE'SQPATENT; OFFICE- A (CL2-I-97) invention relates to garments and; in parv I V trated garmentcomprises an outer garment body. "ticular, to garments provided with linings hav- 4 islof conventional form being formed of an sufllcient ventilation of theseportions of the gar-.

' ment. While various attempts have been :made w solve this dual problem, they generallyre! sulted in the provision-of' complicated connece ---tions betweenthe; sleeve and body lining portions of the garment: requiring a high degree of skill and much time and consequent expensein', themaking.

. enr uwei tugno 'at'nios po l V According to: thisinvention, all of the above disadvantages are totally'obviated by; providing Jan'jfannular connecting; member between; the j Sleeve-and bodyjfiinine portions which m ber;-

To remove the lining 5 from the outer garment outer body portion 6 with attached collar por- .tion 'lv and similarsleeveportions 9 and l0. I At the inner sides of its front edges, the body portionli termlnatesin a righthand facing I l and lefthand facing I2. Secured to the righthand facing- H is one'stringer ll of a slidefastener,

the omen-complementary stringer i5 being secured to the other facing l2. The stringers l4 and 15 are of conventional form, each comprisfing astringer tape provided with a row .of inter- 'locking.fastener members which are coupled by 1 fmean's, of a slider on one stringer and a separable bottom end fitting having one-part on one stringer I complementary part on the other length andsecured also to the intermediate part 7 of the body portiont adjacent theneck of the garmentvis one stringer IB'of a slide fastener which-is complementary witha stringer-l1 ex-' tendingtabout the edges of the body p'ortion20 of the lining 5. ,jrhe {stringer l5 carries a slider 2|" for progressivelyengaglng and disengaging the interlocking fastener members to close and open thefslidertfor' connecting'and disconnectthe lining =ito'the' outer garment body I. These stringers ,IG and I! are also provided at one end .with top steps 22 for limiting movement of ,the sliderI-2l in i'one direction and, at the other end, with complementary partsof a separable end fitting 23, as is conventional in separating slide body 4,;it is merelynecessary to slide-the slider 2| closely adjacent the separable'end fitting 23 of thegslide fastenerand separate the'parts ofthe I separating end fitting; To replace the lining 5 in the outer garinent body l, the complementary parts of the separating end fitting 23 are recoxi'pled in known manner 'and'the slider is moved its extreme closed position adjacent the top j-stops 22) andlthe sleeve linings or lining sleeves v llarestufled'down into the outer sleeves or sleeve; j poitio'ns send my g v sleeve liningsor lining sleeve portions are designated 24 and'arefform ed ofjany suitable lining material; being generally tubular. The up-. per-ends otthegsleeve linings 24, however, are.

not-directly;"stitched-.to the 'bodylining n. as

" 9 na ;;butjen annular mem rinterposed between the upperends of the sleeve linings 24 and the armholes 20a of the lining 5.

- Each annular member 25 is secured by arow of stitching 28 to the upper end of the sleeve lining and by a row of stitching 21 to the edges of the armholes 20a, as shown in Fig.2.

The annular members 25 are formed of twoway stretch, elastic, porous mesh material consisting of warp threads 30 formed of rubber or like resilient material wrapped with fine textile thread 3|, and weft threads 32 woven about the wrapped warp threads 30, as .shown in Fig. 3. The mesh of the-material is sufliciently coarse to allow free circulation of air therethrough and, as will be readily understood, the elastic, porous material ofthe annular members 25 forms a yielding elastic connection between the armholes20a of the lining 5 and the sleeve linings 24 thereof, whereby extreme freedom of movement between the relatively. unyielding material -of the sleeve lining 24 and the body lining 20 is afforded. v

Thus, the addition of the lining 5 tothe outer garment body 4 or garment proper is accomplished without reduction of freedom of sleeve movement and without reduction of the ventilation adjacent the armpit portions of the garpairment of freedom of movement of the wearer and without subjecting the garment Y to appreciable greater'perspiration when the lining is applied than when the lining is removed.

It is, of course, to be understood that the above description is merely illustrative and in nowlse limiting and that garment linings according to this invention may be applied to outer garments of widely varying forms; for instance, the outer garment might be of any, known design and provided with conventional fastening means such as buttons and buttonholes instead of the slide fastener l4, l5. Likewise, any other suitable type of fastening mean may be substituted for the slide fastener I6, I'I, etc., by which the lining 5 is removably secured in the outer garment or outer garment body 4.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a garment comprising a body with attached sleeves, a lining comprising a body lining portion, sleeve lining portions, and annular connecting members of elastic porous material connected between the upper ends of said sleeve lining portions and said body lining portion.

2. In a garment comprising a body with attached'sleeves, a lining comprisinga body lining portion, sleeve lining portions, and annular connecting members of two-way stretch elastic open mesh material connected between the upper end of said sleeve lining portions and said body lining portion, said connecting members providing freedom of movement and ventilation.

3. In a garment, an outer garment body com- 1 viding ventilation and freedom of movement without bulk, and means for detachably connecting said body lining member to the outer body portion.
