BEACH CAPE Filed March 29, 1920 A. R. ENTRlKlN ET AL Mill l w... l Il Patented Sept. ll, 1923.
ARTHUR R. ENTRIKIN AND LCILE PALMER ENTRIKIN, OF OCEAN CALIFORNIA.
PARK;
BEACH CAPE.
Application led March 29, 1920. Serial No. 369,807.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that we, ARTHUR R. EN TRIKIN and LUoILn PALMER ENTRIKIN, both citizens of the United States, residing at cean Park, in the county of Los .Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Beach Cape, of which the following is a specification.
` This invention relates to a garment to be.
worn by persons clothed in bathing suits at beaches. Heretofore promiscuous kinds of garments for this purposeA havey been used, ranging from cumbersome bathrobes to an inadequately short sweater. At many beaches very strict regulations are made with regard to such coverings, requiring the bather to cover the bathing suit with an outer garment when walking upon the walks or through the streets.
rIhe various garments heretofore usedy to comply with such regulations have been subject to various objections amongst which may be mentioned absorption of water from the wet bathing suit causing chilling of the person, and clingingof the1 outer garment to thel form; difliculty of putting on and o the outer garment in case sleeves are used; and difficulty of handling the garment while on in case sleeves are not used; clogging' the meshes of the garment with sand while the bather lies uponv the beach to sun himself; likelihood of fading the garment or trimmings thereof; rapid radiation of heat when the garment is wet and the wearer stands in the cool breeze; rapid absorption of heat from sunshine; thus making the dry garment hot to the person in the sun. Another difficulty with: the
.garments heretofore used for such coverings is their liability of become rumpled and disheveled and soiled.
An object of this inventionis to provide an outer garment for bathers which will be a light, strong, durable, attractive, and comfortable garment; easy to don and remove; and easy to be fastened by oneself upon his own person; which garment will give freedom to the arms and hands of the wearer and allow the hands to be disposed inside or outside the garment as may be desirable, to allow' the hands to be free to fasten the garment on and to runfasten it `from the person; and to afford comfortable and convenient pockets for holding articles and for accommodating and .protecting the sittino` hands when. the bather is walking, standing or lying down.
A further, object. is to provide a garment adapted tol the above uses which isfcomparatively cheap and can be` made ofnovel and striking apearance with a minimum amount of material; tov avoid waste ofV material.y and to minimize the amount of labor required for making the garment.
lVe have discovered that the foregoingM objects can be accomplished with the use of a` material. not heretofore known as being suitable or desirable for garments of this character.' i i `WeA have discovered that4 by making aL bathing cape of awning canvaswe are, enabled to provide a beach garment that is more satisfactory for theV use of ocean bathers, than has heretofore been possible to provide.` Thematerial, we thus employ. is preferably eighti ounce awning-canvas.
Such' canvas usually comesin stripes, and an laundering; is very light in` weight; folds compactly; is easily carried in. a-suit case;r l
and which, normally is light, weighing about 2 lbs- An object is to provide a beach cape which has a breezy out of door appearance suggestive of; coolness, and is` comfortable and appropriate looking in the slimmer time compared with hot bathrobes.; to lprovide a garment adapted toa style that is. becoming toevery figure. `.Also to. providea garlment having novel pockets.,
. ThisA novelbeach` lcovering is` in the form of a cape and 1s easily slipped on, and avoids uncomfortableness of putting' arms through wet sleeves.
Other objects, advantages and features of i invention may appearfrom the accompanying dra-wing, the subjoined detaili'description and the appended claims.
\ The accompanying drawing illustrates the invention.
Figure 1 is a front view of the garment in use.
Fig. 2 is a back view of the garment removed.
Fig. 3 is a fragmental. view of the garment removed and thrown open to expose parts of the inside of the cape.
Fig. 4 'is a section on line m4, Fig. 3 at the arm slit and pocket. f
Fig. 5 is a fragmental section on line m5, Fig. 3, showing the construction of the collar, yoke and skirt.
Fig. 6 is a detail of the collar, yoke, one half of the skirt and one pocket piece.
Fig. 7 is a detail oill the garment fastener.
Fig. 8 is a section of the same on line its,
Fig. 7.
The body 1 of the garment is formed of a rectangular piece of awning canvas 2, onehalf of which piece is shown inFig. 6. Said piece 2 is lgathered at the top as indicated at Band is joined by stitches 4 te the yoke 5 some distance above the lower edge of the yoke. A collar 6 is joined to the neck hole 7 of the yoke and is thereby adapted to be worn either up or down.
The front edges and the bottom of the body 1 are folded over and hemmed as indicated at 8 and 9. The front edges of the garment are straight from bottom to top and are provided with braid laces 10.
The laces 10 are hand dyed on braid and are secured to the yoke and body of the garment attheffront edges thereof bygrommets formed of two annular plates 11, 12, the latter being` provided with an annular rivet 13 passed through the material of the garment and through the braid and riveted in a well known manner. This fastens the lace in place and also forms an eyelet through which the lace may be passed for greater security to lthe garment.
Before the grommet is placed, one end of the tape is turned under the edge of the canvas and maybe held by the grommet, by a seam, or by both.
The laces are thus secured in pairs to opposite edges of the garment. and preferably are disposed with one pair at the neck hole, another pair at the edge of the yoke and the third pair at about the waist line.
The seam at 4 where the skirt or body 1 is secured to the yoke is at the distance of, say an inch or an inch and a half above the lower edge of the yoke so that the yoke gives a simulated yoke effect to the garment and the collar 6 is of sufficient width tofpractically extend from the neck hole 7 to the seam at 4 so' that directly over the shoulders there is a double thickness of material to shed: rain.
14 indicatesslits that are arranged at an -angle of about 45 degrees to the edgesof the bory 1 at about the level of the waist line and that extend toward the front ledges of the garinentfrom a point about vertically below the tip of the shoulder of the wearer. Said slits are adapted to allow the hands of the wearer to be extended` from the inside to the outside of the garment for the purpose i oi" fastening and unfastening the braid, and
for any other purpose requiring the use olf thc'hands outside of the garment.
'lriangnlar pocket pieces 15 of the awning canvas are provided; the same being preferably equilateral'trianglesg each set with one side 1G being parallel to the appropriate hand slit 14 and the other side 17 being parallel to the edge of the garment.
lt is thus seen that this novel cape is formed ofonly live pieces of awning canvas and .six laces or tics, three on each of the front edges at the upper portion of thecape;
that the collar and yoke afford two thicknesses only over the shoulders and yet the cape has the appearance of having a shoulder cape as well as a collar, the yoke thus giving a shoulder-cape effect and the collar being adapted to be worn' either up or down and yet allow the garment to be light upon the shoulders of the wearer.
The collar and strings serve to hold the skirt in position with the slits and pockets just below the waist line in an appropriate position on the wearer to comfortably accommodate the hands when thrustthrough the slits and into the pockets.
The oblique slits arranged about the level of the waist-line of the garment allow the hands of the wearer tobe easily passed through from the inside out to handle the laces or ties in fastening' the garment on the form. By constructing the pockets'of triangular pieces of awning canvas fastened to the outside ofl the garment with the upper edge freeand in parallelism with the" slit. the hands pass readily into the pockets with the arms in convenient position.
By making the cape of awning canvas it is practically insured against fading for the reason that awning canvas is particularly dyed to retain its color in sun and rain.
Said awning canvas is made of hard twisted cotton and resists penetration of both moisture, heat and rain. n
rlhe awning canvas comes vin such widths as to readily cut to accommodate the purposes herein outlined with the stripes running up and down as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing. and byl cutting the triangular pieces as shown with the upper edges thereof parallel to the slits, the stripes on said pockets give a distinctive ornamental eitect to the front ot the garment.
I claim:
l. A beach cape g om prisin gr a bod y formed oit a piece ot awning canvas; a yoke pron -vided with a neck holx and joined to said body, and a Collar joined to the neck hole of the yoke and adapted to oveislap the upper portion of the yoke; said yoke being` `joined to the body by a seam at some distance above the lower edge of the yol'e and some distance below the .lower edge ot the collar so as to give the appearance of a shoulder cape with a, minimum amount o't goods and weight u pon the shoulder of the `wea-rer.
A beach cape provided in 'front with slits at abont the waist-line ot' the cape, and arranged aslant; and pocket-s having their mouths on the outside of the cape, said months arranged in parallelism with said slits and being` adapted to accommodate the hands of the wearer when the same are passed through said slits.
3. beach cape provided in front with slits at about the waist-line ot' the cape, and arranged aslant upward toward each other; and pockets having` their mouths aslant on the outside ot the cape and arranged in parallelism with said slits and being adapted to accommodate the hands ot the wearer when the same are passed through said slits.
4. A beach cape havinga body provided with two oblique slits to allow the hands oliV the `wearer to be passed through the front `ot the body; and two triangular pieces of material each having one edge arranged in parallelism with and adjacent to the slits respectively and having the other edges joined to the `garment to form a pocket having its mouth adjacent to the slit.
ln testimony whereof, we have hereunto set our hands at @cean Park, California, this 22nd day of March, 1920.
