DOUBLE CUFF.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 3, 1919.

Application filed February 19, 1919. Serial No. 277,949.

To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM Frsr-rnn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of the Bronx, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, have invented a new and I1n proved Double Gulf, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactl description.

This invention relates to clothing and particularly to an improved culi', and has for an obj ect the provision of an improved structure which may be made in one piece while acting as several, with the parts so arranged as to be easily moved out of the way, or used as a cuff.

Another object of the invention is to provide a double cuil1 arrangement with means for securing the same in place so that one end will act as a permanent single cuff and the other part will act as a double cuff when in one position and will be stored out of the way when in a second position.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure l is a perspective view of a cuff and part of a sleeve, the cud showing an embodiment of the invention arranged to indicate a single stiff cuff.

Fig. 2 is a section through Fig. l on line 2-2, the same being on a slightly enlarged scale.

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but showing the cuff arranged as a soft cuff.

Fig. 4 is a section through Fig. 3 on line 4-4.

Fig. 5 is a plan view on a greatly reduced scale showing the cud disconnected.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates a sleeve of a shirt or other garment to which the combined cuff 2 (Fig. 5) is connected. This combined cuff is formed in sections 3, 4 and 5, each having a buttonhole at each end, preferably in the center. These buttonholes are designed to register when the cuff is arranged as shown in Fig. 3 and to be otherwise employed when diderently arranged as will hereinafter' fully appear.

At the juncture of sections 4 and 5 the combined cuff 2 is secured to the sleeve 1 copies of this patent may be obtained for five by any suitable means, as for instance a line of stitching 6. This line of stitching forms an ordinary seam structure so that section 5 may be stifi'ened if desired by any suitable means, as for instance starch, whereby the single stiff cuff 5 is presented, which may be used in the usual manner. When the parts are arranged as just described the sections 3 and 4 are stored away or folded within the sleeve 1 and held in place by one or more buttons 7 passing through the apertures 8 and 9 in section 3. If cuff 5 should become dirty or if the one using the shirt should desire a soft cuff section. 3 is unbuttoned and folded over cuff 5 whereby the soft cuf 4V will be presented as indicated in Fig. 4. j

When the shirt is first manufactured it is supplied with a combined cuf 2 and consequently the merchant need buy but half the usual supply as he may readily convert the cuff structure into either a stiff or soft cuff and thereby satisfy all of his customers. In case the soft cuff 7 should not be desired at all section 4 could be cut od near the seam 6 while if the stiff cuff' 5 is not desired it could be cut ofl'. However, ordinarily it is intended to have both cus in place at all times as neither cuff is in the way, and both cuffs may be found serviceable at dierent times. It will be especially noted in Fig. 5 that the cufl:I construction is all one piece and is connected to the sleeve after having been completed, the connection being such, and the arrangement of the apertures being such that the double cuff will be provided without giving any objectionable appearance.

What I claim is:

The combination with a sleeve of a culi structure formed with three sections, each section having an aperture at each end, and means for connecting the cuff structure to said sleeve along the juncture of the iirst and second section whereby the first section may act as a stiff cuff and the remaining sections may be folded thereover to act as a soft cuff.
