COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Cuffs.
I, CHARLES JAMES CROSS BAKER, of 8 Waylen Street, Reading, 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:
This invention relates to an improved form of loose cuff, to be applied to the
sleeves of woollen and other shirts, and has for its object to provide a cuff which
can be attached more neatly and securely than those commonly in use and which
can be used for a longer time without cleaning.
In carrying out my invention I form the cuff with three parts or bands con-
nected together at a central point. In using the cuff, the wrist of the shirt is
placed between two of these bands, and a stud or other article used, if desired, to
fasten it in place, the third part forming the wristband. The cuff will be held in
position on the wrist of the shirt by gripping it between the two upper hands, but
a stud will form an additional security. The end of the shirt sleeve being fastened
between the bands it will be hidden entirely from view and there will be no tendency
for the cuff to slip off or up the sleeve of the coat, thus rendering it as comfortable
to wear as an ordinary linen shirt.
When the lower band is soiled, the cuff is removed and the band turned back,
another band taking its place, the three bands being interchangeable. With this
arrangement a cuff can be used for a much longer period than is usually the case.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood, reference is had to the
accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a section of the cuff applied to a shirt, and Fig. 2 a perspective view of
the cuff with bands extended.
A, A1, A2 are the bands, connected together as shown forming three parts of
equal length proceeding from a centre: A is the lower band which serves as a
wristband, the shirt B being held between the bands A¹, A. Stud holes C may
be employed, and stud C¹, passing through the bands and the wrist of the shirt
and securing them together. The bands are all interchanged in the manner above
described.
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 :-
A cuff formed of three bands connected together in such a manner that each
band can be used as a wristband, the remaining two holding the wrist of the

page_text: shirt between them, substantially as described and shown and for the purposes
specified.
