page_text: We ABRAHAM SPAN of 3 Balmoral Terrace Cornbrook Park Road Salesman, and
ISAAC KRIEGSFELD of 10 Derby Street Oxford Road Overlooker, both of Manchester
in the County of Lancaster do hereby declare the nature of our invention for
A COMBINED ARM-HOLE AND POCKET FOR LADIES WATERPROOF GARMENTS to be as
follows:-
The objects of this invention are to provide an armhole for ladies waterproof
garments which shall afford both freedom of movement and increased protection
to the arm and to combine there with a pocket which shall be safe and concealed
from sight.
The arm hole is cut in a semi-circular form (or nearly so) in order to give great
freedom of action to the arm, and is protected by a flap which is much deeper than
usual extending about four inches or so below the arm-hole and provided at the
lowest point with a button hole by means of which it can be fastened to a button
on either side of the garment as may be wished, the flap being reversible.
This deep flap serves both to give additional protection from the rain to the arm
or sleeve and also to conceal a pocket which we attach to the garment immediately
below the armhole. The pocket is thus ready of access to the hand of the other.
arm whilst at the same time it is safely concealed from view.
It will be evident that the above described armhole and deep flap may be used
without the pocket if desired.

We, ABRAHAM SPAN of 3 Balmoral Terrace, Cornbrook Park Rd., Salesman, and
ISAAC KRIEGSFELD of 10 Derby street, Oxford Rd., Overlooker, both of Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, 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 objects of this invention are to provide an armhole for ladies waterproof
garments which shall afford both freedom of movement and increased protection to
the arm and to combine therewith a pocket which shall be safe and concealed
from sight.
.
For the accomplishment of these objects the armhole is cut in a semi-circular
form (or a form nearly approaching thereto) this gives great freedom to the arm.
The armhole is protected by a flap which is made much deeper than the ordinary
flap, extending about four inches or more below the armhole, this is made in any
convenient ornamental shape, and is provided at its lowest point with a buttonhole
by means of which it can be fastened to a button on either side of the garment the
flap thus being reversible.
This deep flap serves both to give additional protection to the arm from the rain
and also to conceal and protect a pocket, which we attach to the garment imme-
diately below the armhole.
The pocket is thus ready of access to the hand of the other arm, whilst it is at
the same time safely concealed from view.
We may however use in some cases the semicircular armhole and deep flap before
described without the pocket.
In order that the foregoing may be better understood we send herewith a sheet
of Drawings in which is shown a view of the combined arm hole and pocket,
a indicating the semicircular armhole, b the deep flap (which may be the shape
shown, or any other ornamental shape) c the buttonhole, and d the pocket (which
may either be drawn as shown, with elastic cord, left plain, or ornamented in any
other suitable way, as desired or convenient.
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 :-
1st. The combined armhole, flap and pocket, substantially as described and
shown herein before and in the accompanying Drawing, for the purpose set forth.
2nd. A semicircular armhole and deep flap substantially as described and shown
hereinbefore and in the accompanying Drawing for the purpose set forth.
