Description
April 10, 1934. M E WR|GHT HOSE SUPPORTER Filed June l2, 1933 mvENToR (Egg/46h75 rATTORMW Patented Apr. 10, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT orrice 4 Claims.
This invention relates to hose supporters primarily adapted for use by women in connection with corsets or other foundation garments, although the supporter may be used in any other manner for which it is found to be applicable, and it is not intended to limit the invention to the precise use herein illustrated and described.
The primary object oi the invention is to provide uniformity in the tension of the supporter to regardless of the position assumed by the wearer,
thereby affording maximum comfort, substantially eliminating strain on stockings, and improving the appearance of the dress worn over the supporter by the elimination of any tendency to bulge when the wearer assumes one position, and to become too tight when the wearer assumes another position.
Another object of the invention is to promote economy by increasing the normal length of service which may be expected from the supporter itself, from the garment supporting the same, and from the stocking supported thereby, all of these advantages being accomplished by the employment of materials having a minimum tendency to deteriorate due to exposure' to perspiration and the like, and by the substantial elimination of variation in the tension of the supporter due to the normal movements of the wearer.
A hose supported in accordance with this inventicn is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure l is a perspective view showing a corset with my improved hose supported applied thereto.
Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional elevation of the same.
Figure 3 is an enlarged front elevation of the supporter as the same appears when in use with the front face of the casing removed.
Figure 4 is an enlarged longitudinal section through the supporter.
Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary elevation of the supporter with the front face of the cas- 45 ing removed showing a modiiied form of spring which may be employed in lieu of the spring shown in Figure 3.
Referring to the drawing in detail, wherein like numerals are employed to designate the same parts throughout the several views, the numeral 1 indicates a foundation garment which may be of any type commonly worn by women, and the numeral 2 indicates generally the hose supporter applied thereto and forming the subject matter of this invention.
(Cl. 241-l) The hose supporter 2 includes a casing 3 adapted to be inserted beneath the garment 1, and to have its upper end secured thereto in any suitable manner. The casing 3 preferably will be formed from a comparatively heavy fabric such as tape which is capable of excluding moisture to a maximum degree. Preferably the casing 3 will be detachably secured to the garment 1 by some means such as the button 4 and button hole 5. Extending lengthwise of the casing 3, and having its upper end securely fastened adjacent the upper end of the casing, is a ten sion element 6 which, as shown in .Figures 3 and 4, is in the form of a flat type spring preferably formed from fine, rust proof, steel wire.
Instead of the specific tension element 6 shown in Figures 3 and 4, some other type may be employed if desired, such, for example, as shown in Figure 5. The tension element shown in Figure 5 is of the coil spring type designated by the nu- 75` meral '7, and preferably is used in pairs as shown. The particular type of tension element employed is of relatively minor importance so long as the same is made from a material capable of resisting deterioration for a comparatively long period of time, it being particularly desirable that it be sub stantially immune from loss of elasticity due to exposure to heat, perspiration and the like.
Having one end securely fastened to the lower end of the tension element 6, and extending through the open lower end of the casing 3, is a strip 8 of tape or other suitable material which has slidably supported thereon a clasp 9 for connection with a stocking, not shown. The strip is returned in an upward direction from the clasp 9 and the opposite end thereof is detachably and adjustably connected with the lower edge portion of the garment 1, as by means of the selective engagement of the button 10 with one of a series of spaced button holes 1l. Preferably the clasp 9 will be provided with a roller 12 for engagement with the strip 8 to eliminate friction and wear on the latter.
In manufacturing the hose supporter, the strip 8 will be made in appropriate lengths for use at lQO the front and back, respectively, of the garment l, and in use, the proper tension may be assured by the selection of the proper button hole l1 for engagement with the button l0, in accordance with the distance between the lower edge of the garment l and the top of the stocking to be connected with the clasp 9.
Owing to the two point suspension of the hose supporter, and to the freely slidable connection between the strip 8 and clasp 9, the strip 8 will 411,0
slide freely through the clasp as the tension element is flexed by the movements of the wearer, thereby maintaining substantially the same pulling force on the stocking at all times.
By enclosing the tension element within the substantially impervious casing 3, the tension element is protected from the usual effects of perspiration and the like on the tension elements of hose supporters of conventional design, and by employing moisture proof material in the tension element itself, the usual deteriorative effects on the latter are avoided, even though it is inadvertently subjected to moisture. While the employment of the roller 12 is optional, obviously the use of the roller will enable the strip 8 to move with less resistance, and with less wearing effect thereon.
The embodiment of the invention herein illustrated and described is intended to portray a practical and desirable example of the same, but is not intended to restrict the invention beyond the limitations imposed in the appended claims. For example, instead of detachably connecting the supporter with the foundation garment as shown, the supporter may be made a permanent part of the garment, if desired.
I claim:
1. In combination with a garment, a casing detachably secured thereto in spaced relation to the lower edge thereof, a metal wire tension element within the casing with one end of said element secured to the casing adjacent the top of the latter, an elongated strip having one end secured to the opposite end of said tension element and having its opposite end detachably and adjustably secured to the lower edge part of said garment, and a stocking Clasp slidable on said strip and having a roller in Contact therewith.
2. In combination with a garment, a casing secured thereto, a tension element within the casing with one end of said element secured to the casing adjacent the top of the latter, an elongated strip having one end secured to the opposite end of said element and having its opposite end secured to said garment, and a stocking clasp slidable on said strip.
3. A hose supporter comprising a substantially impervious casing adapted to be supported on the body of a wearer, a metal wire tension element within the Dcasing with one end thereof secured to the casing adjacent one end of the latter, an elongated strip having one end secured to the opposite end of said tension element and having its opposite end adapted to be supported on the body of the wearer, and a stocking clasp slidable on said strip and having a roller in contact therewith.
4. A hose supporter comprising a casing adapted to be supported on the body of a wearer, a tension element having one end secured within the casing adjacent one end of the latter, an elongated strip having one end secured to said element and having its other end adapted to be supported on the body of the wearer, and a stocking clasp slidably connected with said strip.
