A Cuff Protector.
I, WILLIAM HARPER MINNOCH of Mineral Villa, Stirling, N.B. Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object a cuff protector whereby means are provided
to effectually cover or protect the cuff from dirt or damage when the wearer is
engaged in writing or other clerical work.
The invention consists in protecting the cuffs, whether attached to the shirt or
not, by means of a cover or protector composed of celluloid or other suitable
material which can be easily cleaned by a damp sponge or cloth.
The cover or protector is formed the same length as the cuff and of sufficient
width to turn over the edge of the cuff, at the inside, about to the middle. It is
there held in position by slits formed therein passing over the cuff links.
Dated this 10th day of December 1894.
