The present invention is a moldable collar stay for a shirt collar which traverses the periphery of the shirt collar with each end of said moldable stay being inserted into the prefabricated collar stay pockets of the shirt. The moldable collar stay may be either hidden permanently within the shirt fabric, or rest removably underneath the periphery of the shirt collar. The moldable stay body includes two end points which are identically formed and connected by a moldable material concomitant with the periphery of the shirt collar. Each tapered end point comfortably inserts into the prefabricated collar stay pockets. The shirt wearer may then adjust the moldable stay across the periphery of the collar to the desired collar position. The present invention also includes a shirt construction with an integrated moldable collar stay. |

A collar stay perforating device for perforating a portion of a collar stay and a collar stay storage device for storing the perforated collar stay are provided. The collar stay perforating device comprises a base member having a punch hole and a guide to receive an end of a collar stay. A first lever member pivotally attached to the base member has a punch member that cooperates with the punch hole. A second lever member pivotally attached to the base member bears on the first lever member to bring the punch member into cooperation with the punch hole thereby perforating the collar stay. The perforated collar stay may then be stored on a collar stay storage device comprising an openable ring member having releaseably engageable arms for forming a closed loop. The ring is openable permitting one of the arms to be inserted through the perforated collar stay thereby providing ordered and compact storage of collar stays. |

The method of stiffening the ends for shirt collars or the liner therefore is achieved by first forming an elongated polyester stiffening element or stay to be attached to the collar or collar liner. At least one side of the stay is coated with a polyester heat fusible film. The stay is placed within the ends of the collar with the polyester film placed adjacent the material to which the stay is to be at least temporarily attached after which heat is applied at a pre-determined temperature and for a predetermined period, preferably by an electric heating element to the area adjacent the stay thereby softening the polyester film carried by the stay to a point of causing the polyester film to soften and adhere to the adjacent material. The method is carried out preferably by a semi-automatic machine shown and described herein. The stays are placed in a stack at each side of the machine from which a single stay is removed and placed in each end of the collar or liner as the case may be. The machine is provided with a thin shelf at each side of the machine of substantially the same configuration as the collar ends over which the ends of a collar or liner are drawn by a machine element until the outer ends of the collar or collar liner are substantially in contact with the outer edges of the shelf where automatic heating elements are applied to the area of the stay for applying the stay to the collar or lining. |

The machine is for aiding in attaching stiffening elements or stays to shirt collars or to inserts which are later attached or positioned inside the outer surface of the collar. The stays are first stamped from sheets of hard thin flexible material such as a polyester plastic and coated on at least one side with a film of heat sensitive adhesive. The stays are stacked in a magazine with the side containing the adhesive facing either upwardly or downwardly depending on which of the collar elements the stay is to be attached to. Each end of the collar, or liner, is tautly drawn over a thin shelf of the same configuration as the outline of the collar. A machine element will move the lower most stay from beneath the stack and position it within a channel to be engaged by another machine element and moved into position within the collar or liner where it is to be attached. The adhesive is then heated by a heating unit to a point to cause the adhesive to soften and adhere to the collar or liner as the case may be, after which the outer collar material, together with the collar lining, is attached to the shirt. |
