IMPROVEMENTS IN BOWS, SCARVES, AND SIMILAR ARTICLES TO BE WORN WITH COLLARS
Year: 1870

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to George Haseltine, of the "International Patent
Office," Southampton Buildings, London, for the Invention of
"IMPROVEMENTS IN BOWS, SCARVES, AND SIMILAR ARTICLES TO BE WORN WITH
COLLARS." -A communication from abroad by Elizabeth H. Clarke,
of Chicago. Illinois, United States of America.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said George Haseltine at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on
the 7th October 1870.
I, GEORGE HASELTINE, of the "International Patent Office," South-
ampton Buildings, London, do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN Bows, SCARVES, AND SIMILAR ARTICLES TO
BE WORN WITH COLLARS," a communication, to be as follows :-
The present Invention relates to a new article of manufacture, con-
sisting of paper bows, flies, scarves, and the like to be used with collars,
> more especially those made of paper. In this regard by novel means

page_text: paper is made to take the place of woven fabric in the manufacture of
such articles as are worn about the neck, and fastened to collars as a
part of the ordinary dress.
The material used may be white, colored, variegated, striped, or
embossed, or I may use any other style of paper most suitable or desirable,
whether combined with muslin or other fabric or not.
I fasten to the collar by a button a fly which consists of two pieces
of suitable paper, made in imitation of cloth, cut in the desired form,
and overlapped between the folds of the collar so that the broad ends
will project down in sight. If the ends are cut off the wide ends will
project down further.
In one style of bow pieces of paper are cut in various forms.
One part
is then folded and put flat upon another piece. A loop is then glued or
pasted to one part of the paper, and the parts thereof are folded together
and fastened with mucilage, glue, or paste; the bow is then ready for
use, the loop being held between the two thicknesses of paper.
'
Another style of bow is held to a button without a loop, and is made
as follows:-A piece of paper is cut in the desired form, two of the
parts being of the same shape. Any suitable bow is then placed thereon,
and part is folded flat on another part, two of the parts being folded
together, and pasted fast. By this means notches in two opposite parts
are made to form one notch, which is used to fasten the bow to a button
instead of a button hole, it being much more convenient to adjust.
A. loop and the notch are necessary for fastening to different kinds of
studs. The bow cannot well be used where a raised headed stud is put
through the collar, as it sits too much to the front.
In manufacturing the goods in large quantities the gum can be put
on the paper before it is cut, thereby greatly facilitating the work.
I have described only three kinds of bows and flies, but other kinds
may be made as fancy or demand may require. It will be seen that
the new material used necessitates an entirely novel construction in the
scarfs, bows, and other articles.

filed by the said George Haseltine in the Great Seal Patent Office
on the 5th April 1871.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME I, GEORGE
HASELTINE, of the "International Patent Office," Southampton Buildings,

WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her

of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy, in the thirty-
fourth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give
and grant unto me, the said George Haseltine, Her special licence
that I, the said George Haseltine, my executors, administrators, and
assigns, or such others as I, the said George Haseltine, my executors

from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term therein
expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, (and vend,
within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel
"IMPROVEMENTS IN BOWS,
Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for
SCARVES, AND SIMILAR ARTICLES TO BE WORN WITH COLLARS," a communica-
tion to me from abroad by Elizabeth H. Clarke, of Chicago, Illinois,
United States of America, upon the condition (amongst others) that
I, the said George Haseltine, my executors or administrators, by an
instrument in writing under my, or their, or one of their hands and
seals, should particularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said
Invention, and in what manner the same was to be performed, and
cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six
calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said Letters
Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said George Haseltine, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention, 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
Drawing forming a part of this Specification:-
The present Invention relates to a new article of manufacture, con-
sisting of paper bows, flies, scarves, and the like to be used with collars,
more especially those made of paper. In this regard by novel means

page_text: paper is made to take the place of woven fabric in the manufacture of
such articles as are worn about the neck, and fastened to collars as a part
of the ordinary dress.
The material used may be white, coloured, variegated, striped, embossed,
or I may use any other style of paper most suitable or desirable, whether
combined with muslin or other fabric or not.
"
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING.
Figure 1 is a front view of an ordinary paper collar with a paper
fly" attached; Figure 2 shows one of the parts forming the said "
"fly"
detached from the collar; Figure 3 is a front view of a paper collar with ]
a paper bow attached; Figures 4, 5, 6, and 7 show the construction of
different bows.
A, Figure 1, shows an ordinary paper collar to which by means of a
button B is fastened the "fly" C, D. This "fly," consists of two pieces
of suitable paper made in imitation of cloth cut in the form shewn in 1
Figure 2, and overlapped between the folds of the collar so that the
broad ends will project down in sight. If the ends E are cut off, as
shewn by the dotted lines in Figure 2, the wide ends will project down
farther.
Figure 3 represents one style of bow, the manner of making which is 2
shown in Figures 4 and 5. One piece of paper is cut in the form shewn
at M, J, N, and in the form shewn at H, H, and one in the form shewn
at L. The part H is then folded at the dotted lines I, I, and put flat
upon the piece L. A loop O is then glued or pasted to the part N of
the paper M, J, N, and the parts M folded together and fastened 2
with mucilage, glue, or paste; the bow is then ready for use, as
shewn in Figure 3, the loop O being held between the two thicknesses
of paper.
Figures 6 and 7 represent another style of bow which is held to a
button without a loop, and is made as follows:-A piece of paper is cut 3
in the form shewn by letters Q, R, S, T, the parts Q and T having the
same shape. Any suitable bow, as shewn by the parts L, G, is then
placed on the part R; the part S is folded flat on the part G, and the
parts Q, T, folded together as shewn at Figure 7, and pasted fast. By
this means the notches P, P, Figure 6, form one notch P, Figure 7, 3
which is used to fasten the bow to a button instead of a button hole, it
being much more convenient to adjust.

page_text: The loop O and notch P are necessary for fastening to different
kinds of studs. The bow in Figure 7 cannot well be used where a
raised headed stud is put through the collar, as it sits too much to the
front.
In manufacturing the goods in large quantities the gum can be put
on the paper before it is cut, thereby greatly facilitating the work.
In the Drawing only three kinds of bows and "flies" are shewn, but
other kinds may be made as fancy or demand may require.
It will be seen from the above description that the new material
used necessitates an entirely different construction in the scarves,
bows, &c.
Having thus fully described the said Invention as communicated to
me by my foreign correspondent, I claim,-
First. Bows, ties, and scarves made wholly of paper or of paper and
woven fabric, substantially as set forth.
Second. The bows in Figures 3 and 7 cut, folded, and fastened as
described and arranged to fasten to a raised or flat headed stud, sub-
stantially as set forth.
In witness whereof, I, the said George Haseltine, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Fifth day of April, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-one.
Witness,
E. C. JACKSON.
GEORGE HASELTINE. (L.S.)
