d
This invention relates to Collars, Cuffs, and such like bandages, or belts an
has for its object to adapt them for use as mediums for general advertising,
whether they are used in connection with, and as articles of, wearing apparel
or not.
In currying out our invention we print or otherwise impress a trade advertising
announcement in, or upon each such cuff, collar or such like bandage or belt.
The size of such cuffs, collars or belts as our invention is associated with may
be either diminutive as a toy, of gigantic proportions, or suited for wearing apparel
and other ordinary purposes.
The materials from which we make such collars, cuffs and belts are (although
chiefly consisting of paper, card board and such-like substances) of various kinds,
comprising, linen, cloth, woven fabrics, skin, wood, bone, metal or baked clay.
We are aware that it has been customary to impress upon the cuffs and collars
of uniforms and liveries, names, numbers, emblematic insignia, and descriptive
announcements of private, general, or public signification; and upon linen, paper,
leather, metal and other collars, cuffs, and belts, the name of the quaker or owner:
but our invention differs from each or all of these in this respect, that we employ
these articles to publish general trade notices of goods to be sold, their nature
properties and prices, after the manner and for the purpose of a hand bill or
shew card.

be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
This invention relates to Collars, Cuffs and such like bandages or belts and has
for its object to adapt them for use as mediums for general advertising, whether
they are used in connection with, and as articles of, wearing apparel, or not.
In carrying out our invention, we print or otherwise impress a trade or business
advertising announcement in, or upon each such cuff, collar, gauntlet, or such like
bandage or belt.
The size of such Cuffs, Collars or belts as our invention is associated with may
be either diminutive as a Toy, of gigantic proportions or suited for wearing
apparel and other ordinary purposes.
The materials from which we make such advertising Collars, Cuffs and belts are
(although chiefly consisting of paper, card board and such like substances), of
various kinds, comprising linen, cloth, woven fabrics, skin, wood, bone, metal or
baked clay.
We are aware that it has been customary to impress upon the Cuffs and Collars
of Uniforms and Liveries, names, numbers, emblematic insignia, and descriptive
announcements of private, general or public signification; and upon Linen, Paper,
Leather, metal and other Collars, Cuffs and belts, the name of the maker or owner,
Trade marks, Titles, Sizes and numbers; but our invention differs from each or
all of these in this respect, that we employ these said articles as mediums for
the publication of notices relative to other articles, their nature, properties and
prices, besides other intimations of public interest, after the manner, and for the
purposes of a hand bill, price list or shew card.
These said articles, (Collars, Cuffs helts etcetera) may be united or otherwise to
garments worn by men women or children, or employed simply as Toys for the
amusement of children.
They are chiefly intended to comprise detached articles of attire and not
constituent parts of coats or other garments.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :
