PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means for Retaining Shirt Cuffs, Shirt Sleeves, and the like.
1, MARY AUSTIN, of 79, Huddersfield Road, Elland, in the County of York,
no occupation, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvement which forms the subject of this invention relates to means
for retaining shirt cuffs that are either loose or are attached to the sleeve of a
shirt, or other like cuffs in the required position so as to limit the extent to
which they may come down over the hand or turn round on the wrist without
fitting closely to the wrist.
For the purpose of this invention I form a loop on the inner side of and at
about the centre of the cuff; said loop may be either a piece of tape stitched to
the lining of the cuff or the fabric may be woven to form the loop.
I pass through said loop a spring or elastic bracelet of celluloid or other
preferred material which can be withdrawn from the loop when the cuff is
soiled; said bracelet is placed on and encircles the wrist but can be easily
removed therefrom. By these means the cuff is prevented falling over the
hand more than is desired according to the position of the spring or elastic clip
on the wrist, but is not fitted more closely to one side of the wrist than the
other.

Improved Means for Retaining Shirt Cuffs, Shirt Sleeves, and the like.
I, MARY AUSTIN, of 79, Huddersfield Road, Elland, in the County of York,
no occupation, 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 improvement which forms the subject of this invention relates to means
for retaining shirt cuffs that are either loose or are attached to the sleeve of a
shit, or other like cuffs in the required position so as to limit the extent to
which they may come down over the hand or turn round on the wrist without
fitting closely to the wrist.
In the accompanying drawing to which I hereinafter refer Fig. 1 shows a
clip for the wrist such as I apply to a cuff for the purpose herein before named,
Fig. 2 illustrates an ordinary shirt cuff showing the manner of applying my
invention

page_text: I form a loop on the inner side of and at about the centre of a cuff as a; said
loop may be either a piece of tape stitched to the lining of the cuff or the fabric
may be woven to form a loop as b: I pass through said loop a spring clip or
bracelet as c which may be formed of Hat or round steel covered with cotton,
silk, or the like, or may be of other preferred material such as celluloid. If a
bracelet formed as is employed, the end c is passed through the loop b and
brought round to the position shewn in Fig. 2; when the hand is passed through
the clip or bracelet the looped end slips along the frame by which the
bracelet is enlarged but will close on the wrist when passed over the hand: the
cuff may be fastened by studs ate in the usual way. In a modification of my
invention I employ an elastic band formed with a loop provided with a stud or
button that can be passed through an eyelet hole formed in the cuff in the same
position as the loop b.
By these means the cuff is prevented falling over the hand more than is
desired according to the position of the spring or elastic clip on the wrist but is
not fitted more closely to one side of the wrist than the other.
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:
-
The improved means for retaining shirt cuffs and the like in position loosely
on the wrist consisting of a loop as formed on or attached to the inside of a
cuff at or about the centre through which to pass a spring or elastic clip or
bracelet in the manner and for the purpose substantially as hereinbefore described.
