Application March 9, 1945, 'Serial No. 581,760

This invention relates to new and useful improvements tov prevent the destruction of garments by perspiration.

More particularly the invention proposes in combination with the back of a garment, a Water repellent lining mounted on the back for the purpose of preventing perspiration from going through the back to the outside of the garment.

This invention is particularly intended for garments worn as outside coats, particularly mens or ladies coats. However, it may be applied to other garments.

The invention proposes numerous modifications distinguishing from each other in the manner in which the water repellent lining is mounted upon the back of the garment.

In one form of the invention it is proposed that the water repellent lining be mounted beneath the usual lining of the back.

In another form of the invention it is proposed that the water repellent lining be mounted on an ordinary lining of the back.

The invention contemplates that the Water repellent lining be mounted rlXedly in position, or be removably mounted, or be adjustably mounted, as desired.

Still further the invention proposes the construction of a sanitary perspiration lining for garments, which is relatively simple, and which may be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is an elevational view of the back of a garment, provided with a water repellent lining, constructed in accordance with this invention, and viewed from the inner face of the back.

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional View taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an elevational view of another back of a garment provided with another sanitary perspiration lining constructed in accordance with another form of this invention.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary enlarged horizontal sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is still another elevational view of a garment back provided with a sanitary perspiration lining constructed in accordance with still another form of the invention.

2 Claims.

Fig. Y'6 is -a fragmentary `enlarged horizontal sectional view taken onthe line-6 6 of Fig.'5.

Fig. '7 is a fragmentary `enlarged vertical sectional v-iew taken 'on the line 'I-'I of Fig. `5.

The sanitary perspiration lining for garments, in accordance with this invention is always used in combination with a garment back IIJ. A water repellent lining, or member II is mounted upon said garment back I0. It may be mounted in numerous ways. In this form of the invention illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, the water repellent lining, or member II is formed from two adjacent sections I 2. These sections I2 overlap at the center I3, to form a thickened, or double layer area, or portion. The sections I2 are secured in position with lines of stitches I4 extended along their edges. The .water repellent lining I I is illustrated as located beneath the usual, or ordinary lining I5 of the back.

The inner, or adjacent edges of the sections I2, are cut curved so that there is an open area at the center of the back, particularly at the Waist line region. The purpose of this open area, is to allow for evaporation of moisture, so that there is no excessive heat confined at the Waist.

In Figs. 3 and 4, another form of the invention has been disclosed which distinguishes from the prior form in the fact that the sections I2 of the water repellent lining I I, are removably mounted upon the garment back I0. This is accomplished by snap fasteners I5 mounted on spaced position-s along the edge portions of the sections I2 and cooperative with an ordinary lining I5 of the garment back I Il. With this arrangement the water repelling lining Il may be removed When desired.

In Figs. 5 to 7 inclusive, still another form of the invention has been disclosed which distinguishes from the prior form in the fact that the water repellent lining I I is adjustably mounted in position. It is formed of sections I2. These sections I2 are provided with loops I9 through which supporting straps 20 pass. The supporting straps 20 are attached at their ends 2| upon the lined garment back ID.

The supporting straps 20 are arranged across the top portions, and across the bottom portions of the water repellent lining II. Each lining section I2 may be individually adjusted,- right or left, to selected positions. With this arrangement the overlap I3 of the sections I2 may be controlled. The overlap I3 may be increased, or decreased depending merely on desire. The lining sections I2 will maintain adjusted positions frictionally. There is little tendency for them to shift during normal wear of the garment. This is particularly true of ladies coats.

This perspiration lining may also be made of one piece of material which would extend across the back of the garment about three inches above the Waist line.

It is to be understood that the back of the garment may also be made of water absorbent material, i Y

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as deiined in the appended claims.

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

.1. In combination with a lined garment back,

awater repellent lining mounted upon said lined garment back and covering substantially the entire portion above the waist of said garment back, said lining being formed of several sections,

f4' y, 1 t said sections having-curved inner edges and having their top portions overlapping, leaving the center of the waist portion of said garment back free of lining, and horizontal supporting straps mounted across said garment back, said lining sections being provided with loops engaging said horizontal straps by Which the lining sections may be adjusted.

j 2. In combination With'a lined garment back, a Water repellent lining mounted upon said lined garment back and covering substantially the entire portion above the waist of said garment back, said lining being formed of several sections, said sections having curved inner edges and having their top portions overlapping, leaving the center of the waist portion of said garment back free of lining and horizontal supporting straps mounted across said garment back, said lining sections being provided with loops engaging said horizontal straps by which the lining sections may be adjusted, said straps being arranged across the top and bottom portions of said water repellent lining.
