PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION. ·
Improvements in Shirts and like Garments.
I, LOUIS ADLER, of the Firm of Adolphe Oppenheimer and Company, of 32
and 33 Hamsell Street, in the City of London, Merchants, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in shirts and like garments, and has for
its object to provide or combine therewith means for securely carrying coin, money,
or other valuable articles of small size.
For the purpose of my invention, I provide or attach to the free edge of the
sleeve, or sleeves, of the shirt, or like garment, a band of leather, or other like
strong and flexible material, which is folded over on itself and sewn together at its
ends to form a receptacle or recess extending around and stitched to the edge
of the sleeve, or sleeves, and thus forming, as it were, a cuff or binding to the
sleeve, or sleeves. At a suitable point in this folded band, I provide a slot or
aperture, through which the coin, money, or other article, can be readily inserted ;
and near the end of the band, adjacent to such slot or aperture, I secure a
strap, which, when fastened to a buckle, near the other end of the leather
receptacle, forms a cover to the slot or aperture, and thus firmly retains the coin,
money, or other valuable, in place, and also acts to keep the leather receptacle in
position round the wrist.
A shirt or garment fitted with my improvements will be found especially suitable
for gold and diamond niners, hunters, stock-rangers, and those following similar
avocations.
Improvements in Shirts and like Garments.
I LOUIS ADLER, of 32 Hamsell Street, London E.C. Merchant 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 :-
This invention consists of a hollow wristlet which can be sewn on to the arm or
arins of shirts & like garments & the hollow of which can be used in the form of
a purse or receptacle in which money or other small articles can be placed after
which the wristlet can be buckled round the wrist by means of the strap attached.
The hollow in this wristlet extends from end to end of it, the entrance to it being
under the strap on the outside of the wristlet. This entrance is covered by a
short tuck or tab one end of which is sewn on to the edge of the wristlet & the
other end being inserted in the entrance forms a cover & prevents money or other

page_text: articles falling out. To place any article in this hollow the tuck must be drawn
out of the entrance & inserted again after the article is placed in the hollow. This
invention will be understood by the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1. The part marked A shows the strap attached to the wristlet which can
be strapped over the tuck which is inserted in the hollow.
The part marked B shows the tuck or tab one end of which is sewn on to the
edge of the wristlet the other end being inserted in the entrance to the hollow.
The part marked C shows the entrance to the hollow.
Fig. 2. shows a half section of the wristlet.
The part marked A. shows the strap attached to the wristlet but turned back
so as to expose part B which marks the tuck or tab which is inserted in the
hollow.
Part C shows the entrance to the hollow.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be preferred I declare that what I
claim is
I. A hollow wristlet which can be sewn on to a shirt or like garment & in
which can be carried money or other small articles made substantially as herein-
before described & in the drawings annexed.
Dated this Third day of December 1894.
LOUIS ADLER.
