fmpnovnn LIFE-ransnnvme SKIRT.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part 'of the same.
)To `all whom it may concern:
v Beit knownA that LSARAH E, SAUL, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State ofN ew York, haveinvented'a new and useful Improvementin Lifeipreserving Skirt; and I do' hereby declare that the l following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enableothers skilled in `the art to make and ing drawing forming part of` this specification.
` This invention relates to ladies skirts, and has `for its object to provide a skirt which may be worn at any time, but which, 4in bathing, lor' in case of accident on the water, will also serve as a*life-preserver.` l Theinvention consists `in .'ntrodncing to the public an improved alticle, which will require no preliminary The pices of cork,` which the hoops A are formed,`
` are perforated and strung on to` a wire or cord, or iny closedin atnhe formed of muslin or any other suitable material. Y l
use the same, reference being had tothe accompanyi preparationfcr `usein` bathing or upon thewater, and
These skirts are very light and comfortable to the wearer, and form a very desirable article of wear for ladies constant use. They will also be found very serviceable' when worn beneath the ordinary bathing dress, entirely preventing an indelicate exposure of theV out-line of the bathers person. i
Again, upon the water7 if an accident suddenly occurs which renders it necessary to -abandon the` ship or vessel, a lady can throw herself` fearlessly into the water without a moments preparation.
Y l0n such occasions, females are usually to a great extent, paralyzed with fear and excitement, and if they have a life-preserver or inflated skirt to look up, prepare, and adj ust to their person, their chances ofsafety are very much lessened, if not destroyed. v
f Having described what I esteem to be myinvention,
so that it may be readily understood,
Wha-t I desire to protect. by Letters latent is As an article of manufacture, a ladys skirt, formed of a succession of gradually decreasing tubular hoops,
filled with sections of cork or other light substance, all arranged upon a series ot' straps, B, attached to the waist-belt, as shown and described.
-The above specification of' my invention signed by me this20th day of October, 1869.
` SARAH. E. SAUL.
