Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. a, rare.

Application filed February 8, 1916. Serial No. 76,996.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL HINDIN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the county of Kings, city and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Improved Scarfs, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in ladies outer garments or wraps, more particularly scarfs.

The object of this invention is to provide a combination wrap or scarf that can be readily changed into wraps or scarf of different varieties, for instance, my improved garment can be used as a scarf, an ordinary cape, a cape with a hood or a cape with a hood and veil, all of said varieties being combined in one garment.

1n the drawings which forms part of this specification: Figure 1 is a perspective View of my improved garment in normal condition, in which condition it can be used as a scarf; Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross sectional view thereof, the section being taken on a line 22 in Fig. 1, showing the pocket and normally concealed flap out of which a hood can be formed; Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective View of a portion of the garment showing the supplemental flaps withdrawn from the pocket and also the drawing strings with which the garment is provided; Fig. 4 is a rear View of the garment arranged in one form of cape; Fig. 5 is a front view of the garment arranged as a cape and hood; Fig. 6 is a fragmentary front View of the garment arranged as a cape and hood with a veil.

As herein embodied, my improved garment comprises a plurality of strips of fabric, of any desired quality, secured together conqoletely at one of their edges and partly along the opposite edge, the ends of both strips being gathered together and a tassel secured thereto. 1 do not, of course, limit myself to any particular manner of finishing up the ends of the scarf.

In the drawing one of the strips of fabric is indicated by l, the said strip being the outer portion of the garment and may be of silk, figured or plain, lace, fur, or any other desirable material. The other strip with which the garment is provided is virtually a lining and is indicated by 2. The said lining may be of silk or other material.

The members 1 and 2 of the garment are secured together at 3, that is to say, the said members are secured together along the entire edges 3, the said members being also secured together partly along the edges 4, leaving a. portion unsecured, the said unsecured portion being the mouth or entrance to the interior of the scarf which forms a pocket or retainer for an auxiliary flap or extension 5, which in this instance, is integral with the outer member 1 of the garment. Further elements of the garment consist of drawing strings, a drawing string 6 which passes along the entire unsecured edge 9 of the extension 5, a drawing string 7 which passes along the unsecured edge of the under member 2 of the garment, and a drawing string 8 which is carried by the extension or flap 5 and located adjacent the opening 10 in the garment.

For the purpose of closing the opening 10,

I provide the member 2 with buttons 11 and the extension member 5 with snap sockets to receive said buttons,- the entrance to said sockets being on the exterior surface of said flap, that is to say, the sockets are arranged to receive the buttons when the extension 5 is turned into the pocket 13 of the garment as shown in Fig. 2.

As will be seen in Fig. 3, the free end of the extension 5 is provided at one side thereof with a button 14 and at the other side with a snap socket to receive said button, for a purpose to be hereinafter described. A still further element of the garment consists of a veil 16, which is secured at one of its ends to the under surface of the flap or extension 5. The veil 16 carries at one side of the free end a button 17 and at the other end a. snap socket 18.

My improved garment can be changed in various ways, as for instance, it can be used as a plain scarf, with the extension 5 concealed as shown in Fig. 1, or the extension can be withdrawn from the pocket 18 and draped over the back as shown in Fig. 4. If desirable, the extension can be carried over the head and secured together by the fasteners 14 and 15, as shown in Fig. 5, to form a hood with the veil, gathered around the face to form a 'ruching, or the veil can be dropped to cover the face as shown in Fi 6. In the latter form, the garment can-be used for motoring or under any conditions where it is advisable to protect the face.

When arranged as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the garment can be used as an opera cape. When arranged as shown in Fig. 1, the garment can be used as a scarf to wear around the house or duringthe evening out of doors.

1. A garment comprising a scarf, consisting ofa plurality of superposed members secured togetherthe entire length of one of their edges, said members being secured togethenfor a part of the opposite edge, the
