PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Moustache Guards.
I, WILLIAM DAN DALGLEISHI, Gentleman, of Stamford, in the County of Fair-
field and State of Connecticut, United States of America, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to moustache guards and it has for its object to provide a
moustache guard with strong and serviceable clips of neat appearance for attaching
the guard to cups and the like. The clips, which may be made of steel or other
elastic metal or material, are made substantially U-shaped and the inner members
are thickened towards their free ends and taper towards the bends. The outer
members may be slightly concaved on the outside. The thickening of the ends
of the inner members secures additional strength and a better hold while the
tapering towards the bends preserves the resiliency of the clip. The clips are
secured to the sides of the guard at points on the inner members slightly below the
bends of said clips.

Improvements in Moustache Guards.
I, WILLIAM DAN DALGLEISH, Gentleman, of Stamford, in the County of Fair-
field and State of Connecticut, United States of America, 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:-
My invention relates to moustache guards and to clips for holding them on
cups and the like, and it has for its object to provide a moustache guard with
strong and serviceable clips of neat appearance. This I achieve by making the
clip U-shaped with one member thickened at the free end and tapering toward
[Price 8d1

page_text: the bend of the clip and by attaching such clips to the guard with their bends
above the plane of the guard.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing which is a perspective view
shewing two of my improved clips applied to hold a moustache guard on a cup.
A is the cup and B the moustache guard, both of which may be of any desired
formation. Care the clips secured to the side of the guard B at a point on the
inner members C₁ of the clips, slightly below the bends C of said clips. The
clips are substantially U-shaped, and the inner members Care thickened toward
their free ends and taper toward the bends C³. The outer members C³ may be
slightly concaved on the outside. The clips are made of steel or other elastic
metal or material. The thickening of the ends of the members C¹ secures additional
strength and a better hold, while the tapering towards the bends C2 preserves the
resiliency of the clip.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:―
1. A moustache guard having substantially U-shaped clips attached to it
essentially as set forth.
2. A moustache guard having substantially U-shaped clips attached to it, the
bends of the clips rising above the plane of the guard essentially as set forth.
3. A moustache guard having on each side a U-shaped clip whose inner member
is thickened toward the free end and tapers toward the bend substantially as
described.
4. A moustache guard clip approximately of U-shape and having one member
thickened at the free edge and tapering toward the bend of the clip, substantially
as described.
