I, JOHN HENRY KINSMAN, of Lawson Villa, Ashley Road, Upper Parkstone, in the
County of Dorset, Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The invention has for its object improvements in loose cuffs with a view to
enable three different parts thereof to be placed successively in position for use as
each becomes soiled.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood and readily carried
into effect I will proceed aided by the accompanying drawing more fully to describe
the same.
The loose cuff is formed with three wearing portions a, b, c, connected together at
their inner edges a, b, c, so that in wear any one of said parts may be worn over the
wrist whilst the other two extend up the arm, each wearing portion being provided
with button holes a², 62, c². The cuff is provided with tabs d at its ends which may
be connected together by a stud or button or they may be buttoned on to the shirt
sleeve. I may also provide one or more button holes e in the wearing portions.
I employ a tape f attached at or near the meeting edges of the three wearing
portions a, b, c, provided with a button f and button hole f2, the said tape being
employed to connect the cuff to the sleeve by passing it through a hole or loop on the
sleeve and then passing the button f through the hole f².
When the portion a is in use the tape would show on the outside of the cuff, as in
drawing, but by passing it through hole e the lower part would be hidden from view,
thus giving the cuff a neater appearance.

page_text: In the drawing I have shown the parts b and c slightly separated from each other
but it will be understood that when using the part a as a cuff the parts b and c will
be in close contact and will keep the adjacent surfaces clean. When the part a is
soiled it will be turned under the part c, and the part b will be turned over into
position for use; and again when the part b is soiled it will be turned under the
part a and the part c will be turned into position for use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A loose cuff formed of three wearing portions connected together at
their inner edges, substantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose
stated.
2. A loose cuff formed with three wearing surfaces connected together at their
inner edges, provided with a tape by which it may be connected to the sleeve of a
garment, substantially as herein shown and described.
3. The improvements in loose cuffs substantially as herein shown and described.
