    N° 27,893 A.D.1904 ( Under International Convention.) Bate claimed for Patent under Patents Act, 1901, v being date of first Foreign Application (in 129th July, 1904 Germany), ; Date of Application (in the United Kingdom), 20th Dec., 1904 Accepted, 19th Jan., 1905 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION. * I l Improvements in Arm-shields or Dress-preservers. I, Paul Herzberg, of 7 Beuthstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement; — 5 The arm-shields or dress-preservers in use at present are neither entirely odourless nor completely water-proof. This invention relates to an arm-shield or dress-preserver, in which these disadvantages are obviated, the material employed being water-proof paper or some similar impermeable substance. j() Besides being quite impermeable and odourless such dress-shields have the advantage of being very inexpensive. The disadvantage due to the necessity of making the dress-shield of two parts is also avoided in the present instance, for as water-proof paper, that is, a very thin and pliable material is employed in the manufacture the article, 15 the desired shape can be obtained with a single piece o-f suitably folded mlaterial. In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a dress-shield of the kind in eleva¬ tion, and Fig. 2, a section through A—B in Fig. 1. The shape of the dress-shield is usually obtained by pasting or sewing two parts together. 20 In order however to obviate the perforations claused by the sewing it is advisable as far as possible not to- sewT the parts together. The material being very thin and pliable the necessary shape can be secured and preserved by simply folding and creasing as at a and pasting a single piece of material. Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said 25 invention and in wrhat manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is; — 1. Arm-shields or dress-preservers made of water-proof paper. 2. Arm-shields or dress-preservers made of water-proof paper and consist¬ ing of a single piece of material folded to give it the necessary shape and pasted 30 for the purpose of preserving the shape.
