  • Patent number: 4008494
    Abstract: An elongated base strip of flexible fabric is adapted to be adhesively but removably secured to the neck band of a garment, such as a man's shirt. A reversely-folded absorbent collar protector strip straddles the upper edge of both sides of the base strip and on its rearward side carries an elongated narrow central attachment strip, the exposed face of which is provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and a removable cover strip. Two collar-engaging hooks are optionally fastened to the opposite ends of the rearward side of the protector strip slightly below its upper edge. Attached to and projecting laterally from the opposite ends of the forward face of the base strip are two end attachment strips similar to the central attachment strip and with their forward and rearward faces similarly provided with pressure-sensitive adhesive layers and cover strips.
