DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a collar for an article of clothing, particularly a shirt or a blouse, having an upper collar and a neck band and which is formed by an upper material with a collar outside and underside, as well as insert, whereby at least the upper material is made from a piece of textile material.
It is known to make collars for articles of clothing in the form of two-piece collars in which an upper collar and a neck band are made separately and then sewn together. The lower edge of the upper collar and the upper edge of the neck band can be given a different curvature, so that the upper collar and the neck band attain a particularly desired shaping on wearing. As a result, the upper collar and the neck band engage closely on one another in the neck, but outwardly directed collar tips are still obtained.
Due to the expenditure involved in the manufacture of two-piece collars, great efforts have been made to reduce the manufacturing expenditure. This has led to the development of the known one-piece collar, particularly in conjunction with the development of inserts connected to the upper material by means of thermoplastic adhesive, that is to say the upper material, i.e. the collar outside and underside, together with the insert for producing the upper collar and the neck band from in each case a single piece of textile material. Although this led to a noticable reduction in manufacturing costs it made it impossible to achieve the preferred shaping of two-piece collars, particularly the shaping of the collar points. Thus, compared with two-piece collars produced with a loose or adherable insert, one-piece collars have an easily detectable inferior quality, which has an unfavourable effect on the price.
The problem of the invention is to provide a collar of the type described hereinbefore, i.e. a one-piece collar in such a way that it has the appearance and characteristics of the two-piece collar.
According to the invention, this problem is solved in that at least the insert has in the turn-over area between the upper collar and the neck band an upper collar-side first fold and a neck band-side oppositely directed second fold, the folds being held together by at least one seam.
As a result, the collar according to the invention can be produced with the same manufacturing costs as the one-piece collar and only a small amount of extra material is required for the insert and possibily the upper material.
The invention is described in greater detail hereinafter relative to non-limitative embodiments and the attached drawings, wherein show:
FIG. 1 of a partly represented insert for a collar.
FIG. 2 a view of the upper material of a partly shown collar outside.
FIGS. 3 to 5 a three-dimensional view of the production of a collar in which FIG. 3 is the upper material of an unfolded collar outside and a partly stiffened insert struck thereto, FIG. 4 the formation of the first fold in the upper material of the collar outside and in the insert and FIG. 5 the turned collar after forming the second fold and sewing to the upper material of a collar underside.
FIG. 6 a view of the upper material of a partly shown collar underside.
FIG. 7 a three-dimensional view of an insert for a collar whilst forming two folds.
FIG. 8 a three-dimensional view of a collar, like FIG. 5, but with a flat unfolded upper material of the collar outside.
FIG. 9 a three-dimensional view of the fold or turn-over area of an insert according to FIG. 7 with a cut fold.
FIG. 10 a view of a partly shown insert with a perforation in the fold or turn-over area.
FIG. 11 a three-dimensional view of the fold or turn-over area of the upper material of a collar outside and an insert adhered thereto, similar to FIG. 5, but with the insert perforated in a fold.
FIG. 12 a view of the fold or turn-over area, as in FIG. 11, but with a cut fold.
The collar according to the invention is made from an insert 1, which has stiffened portions and unstiffened, i.e. soft portions. The insert 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a stiffened portion 2 and soft, unstiffened port
