Definitions

  • This invention relates to wearing apparel of the type adapted to be laundered, and more particularly to wearing apparel such as shirts, collars, cuil's, plaits, and the like, as forming part of such wearing apparel.
  • While the collar or cufl can, of course, be restiffened by treatment with starch, it does not retain its appearance for any length of time, particularly in summer weather. Where certain cellulose derivative coated fabric inter-linings are used the result is not satisfactory because of the tendency for the coating to disintegrate and disappear and .often to discolor when the garment comes in contact with some of the commoner reagents used in laundering. The same condition prevails with respect to collars and cuffs in which the component fabrics are laminated directly by means of the common cellulose derivative compositions.
  • This invention has as an object the provision of wearing apparel having semi-stiff collars, cuffs and the like which are non-wrinkling, readily cleanable by washing or dry cleaning, and capable of retaining their shape after laundering without being subjected to a subsequent stiffening operation.
  • a further object is the provision of a two-ply or multi-ply collar or cuff and the like which upon repeated laundering and pressings, will not showthe characteristic stitch pucker of present day wearing apparel.
  • a still further object is the production of collars which will resist distorting influences and will tend to resume their original appearance when the distorting force is removed.
  • Figure 1 represents a diagrammatic sketch of a two-ply or multi-ply collar embodying the present invention, laid flat.
  • Figure 2 represents a cross section along the line 2-4 in Figure '-1 when Figure 1 is a three-ply collar.
  • Figure 3 represents the assembly of the fabrics to which the thermoplastic adhesive has been applied before forming the collar.
  • Figure 4 is a sketch of a finished shirt showing a collar, cuffs and plaits embodying the present invention.
  • Figure 5 represents a dress shirt in which the front and cuifs have been rendered semi-stiff by the invention herein disclosed.
  • I represents the outer ply fabrics of the finished collar; 2 indicates the soften to the extent that it will engage the materials to be united adequately intimately to produce a firm bond therebetween when the materials coated with such an adhesive are placed in 5 contact and subjected to heat and pressure.
  • the adhesive should become quite soft at temperatures betwee'n 250 and 350 R, which correspond approximately to normal ironing temperatures.
  • the adhesive must be sumciently flow resistant, at the temperature of boil-' ing water and at the operating temperature used,
  • the firm bond formed by the adhesive must also be resistant to the cleaning materials used in normal laundering operations so that it does not become softened thereby, and the adhesive must not become discolored to such an extent that it changes the appearance of the apparel in which it is incorporated.
  • a three-ply collar is understood a construction in which an extra layer of fabric, usually of a cheaper and coarser grade, is interposed between the outer plies of the collar, the function of this intermediate layer being to add stiffness, thickness, and general body to the article.
  • This ply is indicated as interlining 3 of the drawing.
  • semi-stifi collar is understood one having a pliability or hand intermediate and unstarched, untreated soft collar on the one hand, and a fully starched collar or an old style celluloid collar on the other hand.
  • thermoplastic adhesive composition is applied to one side of a suitable fabric, such, for example, as a broadcloth weighing 3.40 ounces per square yard and having a thread count of 150' in the 40 warp direction and 78 in the filler direction, by
  • the coated ma- 5 terial is dried either in the air at room temperature, or by placing the coated stock in a chamber or oven where the volatile solvents are expelled by air which has been heated to 180 to 240 F. After the adhesive film is dried the fabric may be rolled up and stored until it is required for use.
  • the plies, which ultimately form the collar,.cuif or other portion of a garment, are next cut from the fabric in any convenient manner, as by means of suitable dies.
  • the component pieces of theidhesive coated fabric thus obtained are then assembled by stitching, with the uncoated surfaces arranged face to face.
  • the collar is then turned inside out to bring the two adhesive coated surfaces together inside the collanand the joining of the parts is accomplished by applying heat and pressure simultaneously.
  • Any means which will give a, temperature of 250 to 350 F., and a pfessure 5 ranging from a few pounds per square inch to several thousand pounds per square inch, may be used to effect the firm bonding of the two fabrics.
  • a row of decorative stitching along the edges of the collar, except the edge to be attached to the neck band may be put in before the collar is aflixed to its neck band.
  • the interlining which is usually a cotton fabric of cheaper construction, as for example .75 a sheeting weighing 4.7 ounces pol square yard and having a thread count of 49 warp threads and 54 filling threads, is preferably coated on both faces with the thermoplastic adhesive composition by any suitable means, such as those disclosed above.
  • the adhesive film is then dried, and the interlining is cut from this material by means of a die.
  • the collar is then assembled by placing two die-cut plies together, laying the coated interlining on top of these, and stitching. 'Ihe collar is then turned inside out so that the interlining will be between the two outer plies.
  • the parts are then firmly bonded together as before, by means of heat and pressure.
  • the ornamental stitching is then applied and the collar is ready for afiixing to the neck band of a shirt where it is to be used in this way.
  • this ornamental stitching may be done before the plies are cemented together, and/or the collar may be used as a separable collar.
  • thermoplastic adhesive which have been successfully used in making collars in the practice of our invention are given by way of illustration, but not by way. of limitation:
  • Example 1 Parts Methyl methacrylate 30 Iso-butyl methacrylate l0 Toluol 60
  • Example 2 Parts Methyl methacrylate 30 Cyclohexyl methacrylate 20 Toluol 50
  • Example 3 Parts Methyl methacrylate 30 N-propyl methacrylate l0 Toluol 60
  • Example 4 Parts Iso-butyl methacrylate 25.0 Toluol 62.5 Alcohol (denatured) 12.5
  • Example 7 Parts N-butyl methacrylate 25.0 Toluol 62.5 Alcohol (denatured) 12.5
  • Example 8 Parts N-propyl methacrylate 25.0 Toluol 62.5 Alcohol (denatured) 12.5
  • Example 9 Parts Methyl methacrylate 23.0 Dibutyl phthalate 14.9 Toluol 51.6
  • Methyl ethacrylate may be prepared by any method set forth in U: 8. Patent No. 1,980,483 to Hill.”
  • the other esters are' prepared in a similar manner.
  • the polymer is used. However, a mixture of monomers maybe polymerized together. It will also be obvious that other polymers may be mixed to give special properties to the adhesive as will be apparent to those skilled in.
  • pasticizers may be incorporated in a greater or lesser extent-than indicated depending upon the degree of thermoother means. Further, while wearing articles of two or three ply construction have been illustrated, this number may be nitely.
  • volatile solvent in those compositions in which one is used is principally to act as a carrier for the solid constituents of the adhesive.
  • the volatile material does not necessarily play a .part in the adhesion of the increased indefifabrics since .it may beentirelyremoved by drying, as previously described.
  • the use of volatile solvents in certain instances permits the deposition of a smooth film of the thermoplastic material and also assists inthe ease of applying the adhesive to certain types of fabrics.
  • Inorganic pigments such as titanium dioxide
  • mineral pigments which are either translucent or opaque, white'or colored, may be introduced into the adhesives.
  • barytes is advantageous in certain instances because combinations of the t' described yield a translucent film. If 0010;? pigments are used they should notbe of a type hich is bleached by ordinary laundering agents.
  • the product of the invention finds particular use as a component part of shirts of the negligee type where it is desirable to-have a garment retain its crisp freshly laundered appearance even under conditions of vary warm weather and high humidity, where the ordinary type of garments are found to wilt, wrinkle and become unsightly from the moisture of the atmosphere and perspiration of the wearer.
  • the product of the invention finds itself applicable to the manufacture of plaits and demibosoms in the shirt industry, and it is also particularly adapted for collars, cuffs and other exposed portions. of nurses, chauffeurs, and maids uniforms and the like.
  • the invention finds further a plication in the manufacture of neckties of various types, where several piles of suitable fabric are laminated to yield a non-wrinkling cravat.
  • the adhesives disclosed above are not affected by ordinary dry cleaning methods and apparel embodying our invention will have a neat and orderly appearance characteristic of .new cloth when so cleaned and pressed.
  • Collars, cuffs, and other stiffened portions of pared according to our invention have withstood a much greater number of launderings.
  • the interliner disclosed above for use in collars also has other uses. For example, it may be used as an intermediate ply for Joining all sorts of materials such as wood, metals, paper, fabrics of all kinds. including leather, fibre, etc.
  • the interliner may also be used to attach labels, initials, ,insignia, and designs of all kinds to wearing apparel, linens, etc-., merely by the ap- 75 plication of heat and pressure such as would be afforded by a warm flat iron.
