SHIRT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 14, 1913.

Application filed December 27, 1910. Serial No. 599,426.

pensive nature having novel and improved means capable of engagement with trousers or the like to hold the same in proper position, the engagement with the trousers or the like serving to efl'ectually prevent a pull or hiking up of the shirt as is generally the case in ordinary shirts.

The invention consists in certain novel features of the construction, and combinations and arrangements of the several parts of the improved shirt, whereby certain important advantages are attained, and the device isy rendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise better adapted and more convenient for use, all as will be hereinaftei fully set forth.

The novel features of the invention will be carefully defined in the claim.

In order that my improvements may be the betterl understood, I will now proceed Ito describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is a front view of a shirt con-- structcd in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary view illustrating certain details of the trouser engaging means; Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, looking in thedirect-ion of the arrow; Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2; Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 2, looking from the inside of the shirt; Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 2 illustrating the trouser engaging means in an incompleted state; and Fig. T

is a fragmentary view in perspective showing a shirt constructed in accordance with the invention in operative engagement with trousers.

In these. views, 10 denotes a dress shirt which may be of any ordinary or preferred construction but herein shown as a coat shirt having secured to the inner face thereof by the stitching 12 at predetermined points about the waist line, the vertically extended reinforcement strips 11. Vhile the rein forcement strips 11 are herein shown as secured to the shirt proper by stitching 12, it 1s thought to be obvious that such reinforcement strips may be glued or otherwise secured to the shirt in lieu of such stitching.

To the outer surface of the shirt l0 above each of the reinforcement strips 11 is secured the vertically extended rectangular strip 13 such attachment of the strip with the shirt being through the medium of the parallel lines of stitching 14 closely adjacent toV each other and positioned substantially centrally of such strip 13 and terminating a predetermined distance from the opposite ends thereof. After the attachment of the reinforcement strips 11 and the outer strip 13 to the shirt, a slot or elongated cut 15 is made through both of the strips and the shirt and the free marginal portions 16 of the outer strip 13 are passed through the slot 15 and secured to the inner face of the shirt by the. stitching 17 as is particularly shown in Fig. 5. Ihile the free marginal portions 16 may be passed through the slot 15 in any desired manner it has been found t0 be of great advantage to grasp the ends of the strip 13 at the points indicated as a and to force these points through the slot 15 and then give an opposite pull thereto which operation causes a proper adjustment of the marginal portions 16 of this strip 13 as shown in Fig. 5. This folding of the strip 13 produces a rounded edge, which is greatly to be desired in a device of this character. After this operation the elongated slot or opening is divided into button-holes by the cords 18 or folded strips 19 and it is thought to be obvious that the slot may be subdivided into as many button-holes as the requirements of practice may dictate.

In Fig. 7, the operation of the invention is thought to be fully disclosed. In this view 22 denotes the trousers provided with a button 21 or other suitable attaching means which is adapted to be accommodated within any one of the button-holes 20 hereinbefore referred to and it is thought to be obvious.

ton 21 within the requisite button-hole 20.

This engagement of the shirt with the trousers or the like while affording an effective support for the trousers also makes the shirt K principles and spirit of the invention, and

for thisreasonl do not desire to be understood as limiting myself to t-he precise formation and arrangement of the several parts, as herein set forth, in carrying out my invention in practice.

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

A .shirt having a strip secured to one side thereof and a second strip secured to the opposite side of the shirt above the first named strip, said shirt and strips having a slot there through, the marginal port-ions of one of the strips being drawn through the slot and secured to the exposed face of the second strip and means for subdividing the slot into a series of button holes.

Signed at Nen7 York7 in the county of New York and State of New York, this 23rd day of December, A. D. 1910.

REINHOLD BARTELL.
