GERARD WENZESLAUS VON NAWROCKI, of the Firm of J. Brandt and G. W. von
Nawrocki, Patent Agents, of 124, Leipzigerstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of
Germany. "IMPROVEMENTS IN COMBINABLE GARMENTS." A communication from
Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Salbach, of Berlin, in the Empire of Germany.
The Invention relates to improvements on combined garments, and consists in
a collar, muff, and bag suspender, together with muff, bag, purse, or case, in
one garment or combination. The whole may be made of skins with their fur, or
of other materials, and the bag and purse may be made of leather or other suitable
substance, and preferably placed below the muff, between the latter and the body of
the wearer, on account of which the muff is covered with fur on the frontside only.
The accompanying Drawings show more clearly the nature of the Invention, Fig. 1
being a front-view, Fig. 2 a side-view, and Fig. 3 a back-view of the new garment.
The collar A, which may have any convenient shape and size, is connected by the
strips B with the muff C, so that the furred front of the latter forms a continuation
of the said strip. The muff carries a lining D, into which the hands can be placed
as in an ordinary muff, while to the lining a is attached a pocket b and a purse c;
the inside of the strips (Fig. 3) may further. be provided with small pockets d for
cartes de visite, &c. The leather bag or pocket is made large enough to receive a
handkerchief, a note book, and other articles. The collar or any part of the com-
bined garment may be attached to the clothes of the wearer, and the pocket may
have any convenient shape, size, and position. It is equally indifferent in what
manner the partial separation of the. muff from the collar is effected, if the latter is
attached to the clothes, in order to facilitate the taking off or putting on of the
mantle, provided that the muff be apparently connected with the collar.
CLAIM.
A combined garment made of fur or other suitable material, serving as muff and
collar, one of which two components may be attached to a mantle or other garment,
the outside or frontside of the muff only being made of fur, if furred at all, in com-
bination with a large pocket or a purse, or both together, and with or without
small pockets, substantially as described and illustrated.
In witness whereof, I, the said Gerard Wenzeslaus von Nawrocki, have
hereunto set my hand and seal, this Twenty eighth day of May, A.D. 1879.
