Improvements in Dress Collars.
I EDGAR ROBINSON of Cincinnati, in the County of Hamilton and State of Ohio,
United States of America Captain of Police, do hereby declare the nature of my
invention for COLLARS 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 shirt-collars which can be attached to and detached from
the neck hand of an ordinary shirt; and it has for its object to provide a collar with
novel means whereby the tendency to rise on the neckband at opposite sides of the
central front fastening is effectually avoided.
To accomplish this object my invention involves the features of construction and
the combination or arrangement of parts hereinafter described, and specifically pointed
out in the claim, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a shirt collar embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line a, Fig. 1.
Figure 3 is a detail view of a portion of a collar, showing a modification of the
supplemental inside fastening; and
Figure 4 is a similar view showing another modification.
In order to enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will
now describe the same in detail, referring to the drawings, wherein-The numeral 1
indicates a collar which is designed for attachment to and detachment from the
neckband of an ordinary shirt. The collar is adapted to engage a central front
fastening 3, composed of a button, and one end of the collar is formed with a
tongue-extention 2 to connect with a supplemental fastening projecting laterally from
the inside of the collar near the end thereof which is opposite the extremity having
the tongue extention. The supplemental inside fastening may be composed of a
button 4, engaging the collar and having a loop-shank located inside the collar and
projecting laterally therefrom to receive the tongue extention 2, as in Figures 1 and 2.
In Figure 3 the supplemental inside fastening is shown as composed of a laterally-
projecting pocket 6, made upon the inside of the collar to receive the extremity of
the tongue-extention, while in Figure 4 the supplemental fastening is formed by
the laterally projecting button 8; but this is not so convenient as the loop-shank
or the pocket. The tongue-extention by engaging a supplemental fastening inside
the collar at a point remote from the central front fastening 3 effectually prevents
the collar rising at opposite sides of the latter, and therefore a comfortable article is
provided, which is very desirable.
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 collar adapted for attachment to and detachment from the neckband of a shirt by
a control front fastening and having near one end a sunnlemental laterally proiecting

page_text: inside fastening and at the opposite end a tongue-extention to engage such supple-
mental fastening inside the collar at a point remote from the central front fastening
for preventing the collar rising at opposite sides of the said front fastening, substantially
as described.
