Year: 1884

page_text: I IGNAC PICK, of Queen Victoria Street, in the City of London, Wholesale
Furrier, do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for A COMBINED CAPE,
BOA, AND MUFF, to be as follows:-
-
My Invention relates to the combination, forming a single article, of a cape, boa,
and muff, and it consists in combining and arranging the several parts in such a
manner that the boa forms, at the same time, a collar to the cape, and a muff.
According to my Invention, the boa is padded or stuffed, and is sewn around the
neck of the cape so as to form a collar thereto, to keep the neck of the wearer warm,
and this boa is then carried down and sewn, on opposite sides of the front or
opening of the cape, where it may terminate in tails, and depend or hang below the
cape. The muff is contrived by forming apertures in both sides of the front of the
cape, or underneath the boa, to admit the hands of the wearer, either from the front
or fur side of the cape, or from the under or lining side thereof, the parts forming
the muff being padded or stuffed.

page_text: I, IGNAC PICK, of Queen Victoria Street, in the City of London, Wholesale
Furrier, do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for A COMBINED CAPE,
BOA, AND MUFF, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement, reference
being had to the accompanying Drawings, and to the letters and figures marked
thereon:-
My Invention relates to the combination, forming a single article, of a cape, boa,
and muff, and it consists in combining and arranging the several parts in such a
manner that the boa forms, at the same time, a collar to the cape, and a muff.
And in order that my Invention may be fully understood, I proceed to describe
the same with reference to the accompanying Drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the improved article, forming, at the same time,
a cape, boa and muff..
Fig. 2 is also a front elevation, but with the front portions of the article thrown
back, in order to clearly shew the arrangement of muff, and
Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line x, y. of Fig. 1.
The dotted lines in Fig. 1 shew the arrangement of the muff behind the boa.
According to my Invention the cape A, is provided with a boa b, B, C, which
boa is padded or stuffed to stand upwards. It is sewn around that portion of the
cape forming the neck thereof, in order to constitute a collar b for the same, and to
close around and keep the neck of the wearer warm. The portion marked B is
then carried down, and is sewn on opposite sides of the front or opening of the
cape; or the cape may be so contrived as to form part of the continuation of the
boa, as shewn in the Drawings, by padding the portions B of the cape, on each side
of the front opening or division.
The next portion C, is the muff, which is formed at the ends of the boa, or at the
lower front part of the cape as shewn in the Drawings, to admit the hands of the
wearer, either from the front or fur side of the cape, or from the under or lining
side thereof.
The lower front portions of the boa as shewn at C may be left free from the cape
at d, e, as seen in the Drawings, instead of being formed in a piece with the cape,
and these lower front portions are padded or stuffed so as to form a muff for the
hands, or more correctly speaking, a muff for each hand.
A hook and eye are provided at the lower free ends e of the muff portion and
cape portion so as to close these two parts together if it be desired to use the
article as a cape only.
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 combination, forming a single article, of a cape, boa, and muff, substantially
as herein described and as shewn in the Drawings.
