.June 19 2- 5. LI KRAMER v SCARF AND SASH Filed June 19, 1940 INVENTOR Patented June 30, 1942 1 UNITED STATES TNT are 6 Claims.

This invention relates to wearing apparel and particularly to an improved scarf, an object being to present a pleasing structure which may be quickly and easily adjusted in place.

Another object of the invention is to provide a scarf wherein a ring structureis provided at one point through which portions of the body of the scarf are pulled to adjust the scarf to the correct position around the neck of the wearer and to hold the scarf in that position.

A further and more detailed object of the invention is to provide a scarf formed from a substantially rectangular piece of fabric and to constrict one end so that a ring may be secured thereto, which ring may be of textile fabric, metal, or other material; and positioned so that the axis of the ring will extend substantially longitudinally and centrally of the scarf body.

In the accompanying drawing- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a scarf embodying the invention, the same being shown applied to a figure;

Figure 2 is a front perspective view of the scarf shown in Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a front perspective view of the scarf shown in Fig. 1 in an untied position;

Fig. 4 is an elevation of the piece of textile fabric from which the body of the scarf shown in Fig. 3 is formed;

Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but showing one end puckered or gathered by suitable stitchmg;

Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 5 but showing a partly finished textile ring stitched in place;

Fig. '7 is a sectional view through Fig. 6 on the line 1-1, the same being on an enlarged scale;

Fig. 8 is a fragmentary perspective view showing one end of the ring and part of the scarf after the end portions of the ring have been stitched together;

Fig. 9 shows the ring member of Fig. 8 folded over to straddle the puckered end of the body of the scarf;

Fig. 10 is a perspective view of the ring end of the scarf after the ring has been completely attached;

Fig. 11 is a perspective view of the scarf looped so that the front end may be readily passed through the ring end.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, I indicates the scarf body which is formed preferably from a rectangular piece of textile fabric, as shown Fig. 4. This fabric is puckered or tucked at 2 and this puckering or gathering is held in a desired position by a suitable line of stitching 3. A rectangular piece of textile fabric 4 is then stitched in place by a line of stitching 5. The fabric 4 'ispreferably cut on the bias with the edges folded at 6 and 7. The stitching 5 extendsthrough the folded edge I and through the puckered end 2 of the body 1.

After the parts have been constructed up to the point shown in Fig. 6, the turned-over edge 6 is turned up and the ends brought together so that a line of stitching 8 may be applied for connecting the ends together and thereby making a ring'from the fabric 4 as illustrated in Fig. 8. After this has been done, the folded edge 6 is folded back to its former position and then folded over the upper end of the puckered portion 2 so as to straddle the same, as shown in Fig. 9. A row of hand stitching 9 is then applied for holding the completed fabric ring It in functioning position. While normally the stitching 9 is adapted to be arranged interiorly of the ring, as shown in Fig. 10, it will be evident that the scarf could be worn with either side facing outwardly.

After the stitching 9 has been placed in position and the ring body turned inside out, the completed scarf will appear as shown in Fig. 3. It will be apparent that the ring I0 is disposed laterally on the extremity of one end of said piece 4. The opening of the ring is in the direction of the lengthof the scarf. When in this position the scarf is ready for use and may be looped around the neck, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, and then the free end H passed through the ring l0 and pulled until a desired fit is secured. This ring presents an ornamental effect and, in addition, mechanically holds the parts in the desired position notwithstanding the movements of the neck or the clothing of the person using the scarf.

It will, of course, be evident that the free end portion ll could .be tucked beneath the coat of the user or left exteriorly thereof. While a textile fabric ring ID has been presented it will be evident that, if desired, rings of other material may be used, and also gold or other precious material may be employed and may be ornamented with a diamond or other ornamentation, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

While the scarf is preferably elongated or more or less rectangular, it will be evident that it could be made square or other shape provided that On one of the extremities a ring l0 were provided and arranged to hold the parts in a desired position as shown in Fig. 1.

I claim:

1. A scarf including an elongated piece of textile fabric and a ring connected to one end thereof disposed laterally thereon with its opening in the direction of the length of the scarf, so that the other end may be passed therethrough.

2. A scarf including a body of textile fabric having one edge gathered, a ring, and means for securing said ring to said body along the gathered edge disposed laterally with respect to one end of said body, the opening of the ring being in the direction of the length of the scraf, so that the other end may be passed through the ring.

3. A scarf including a piece of textile fabric, means at one end of the fabric for gathering the same, a ring structure, and stitching for securing said ring structure to said gathered end disposed laterally with respect thereto, the opening of the ring structure being in the direction of the length of the scarf, so that the other end of said piece may be passed through said ring structure.

4. A scarf including a piece of textile fabric, stitching for holding one end of the fabric puckered, a ring structure substantially straddling said puckered end and stitching for permanently securing the ring structure to the puckered end disposed so that the other end of said piece may be passed endwise through said ring structure.

5. A scarf including an elongated substantially rectangular body of textile fabric, means for gathering one end edge of said body, a ring substantially U-shaped in cross section formed from a substantially rectangular piece of textile fabric. a line of stitching connecting the edge of one wall of said ring to the gathered end of said body, the other wall of said ring being extended over the edge of said gathered end, and a line of stitching for securing said other wall of said ring to the opposite side of said body whereby said ring will straddle said gathered end and be disposed at one side of said end for the purpose specified.

6. A scarf including a piece of textile fabric, a ring structure of textile fabric substantially straddling said piece of textile fabric at one end and stitched for permanently securing the ring structure to said piece of textile fabric disposed so that the other end of said piece may be passed through said ring structure to provide a neck-encircling loop and a portion depending from said loop.
