I, MAX ROTHENBÜCHER of Hamburg, Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention, to be as follows
:-
This invention relates principally to the collars of waterproof garments, but is also
applicable to the collars of garments of other material and to collars in general. It
has for its purpose to provide a collar which shall set well on the garment. In collars
cut from cloth it is necessary, to secure a good set, to bend over the collar along a
more or less curved line, and to stretch the inner part of the collar so as to cause the
same to lie close under the outer. In waterproof material the stretching with
application of heat would tend to injure the material, also, by the nature of the
material, it tends to resume its former shape. In the present invention I fix by the
usual cement or by other means to that part of the said collar which is to form
the inner portion of the same, a band of stout material, the said band being shaped in
a curve corresponding to the shape of the collar. I fix the said band on to the cut
out collar, in such a manner that the inner of concave side of said band lies along the
line on which the collar is to be bent over, the band lying.over the inner part of said
collar. I now stretch by suitable means, the said inner part of the collar and firmly
fix the band thereon. On bending the outer part of the collar over the band, the two
parts of the collar, will lie close together. The above mentioned band may
conveniently be made of sets of parallel cords arranged in the required curve and
covered on both sides with waterproof or other material firmly cemented to them.
These bands may also be used for other than waterproof collars.

the nature of my invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates principally to the collars of waterproof garments, but is also
applicable to the collars of garments of other material and to collars in general. It
has for its purpose to provide a collar which shall set well on the garment or about
the neck. In collars cut from cloth it is necessary, to secure a good set, to bend over
the collar along a more or less curved line, and to stretch the inner part of the collar
so as to cause the same to lie close under the outer. In waterproof material the
stretching with application of heat would tend to injure the material while without
heat the material would be liable to resume its former shape after stretching. In the
present invention I fix by the usual cement or by other means to that part of the said
collar which is to form the inner portion of the same, a band of stout material, the
said band being shaped in a curve corresponding to the shape of the collar. I fix the
said band onto the cut out collar, in such a manner that the inner or concave edge
of said band lies along the line on which the collar is to be bent
over, the band lying
over the inner part of said collar. I now stretch by suitable means, the said inner
part of the collar to the shape of the band and firmly fix the latter thereon. On
bending the outer part of the collar over the band, the two parts of the collar, will lie
close together. The above mentioned band may conveniently be made of sets of
parallel cords arranged in the required curve and covered on both sides with
waterproof or other material firmly cemented to them. These bands may also be used
for other than waterproof collars.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is :-
The combination with the collar of a waterproof or other garment of a band R of
stout material substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
