UNION SUIT.

Application Sled April 12, 1813.- Serial No. 760,571
To all whom it may concern Be it lmown that 1,. Mann M. HENDERSON, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Norwalk, in the county of Fairficld and State of Connecticut; have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Union Suits, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to union suits of 1G nonehistic material and my improvelmnts provide means whereby free body movement of the wearer is allowed without applying tension to the material of the garment;
A further feature of my invention com prises the provision of a sanitary flap, opening which fastens up at the side of the leg, and which, when closed forms a single, continuous complete covering for the rear rts.
In order that my invention may be e arly comprehended and explained 'in detail I have have included in the drawings diagrams of the several patterns or portions used in constructing the garment, as well as views of the completed union suit. Thus:
Figure 1 shows the upper back portion; Fig. 2 the right front; Fig. 3 the left front; Fig.4 the waist band; F1g. 5 the right leg, and Fig. 6 the left leg. Fig. 7 is a side elevation of a completed garment. Fig. 8 is an enlarged, detail rear view, and Fig. 9 a complete rear view.
It being the purpose of my invention to afford full freedom of body motion without straining any portion of a union garment of non-elastic material I have resorted to acertain construction of the garment portions,
both above and below the waist band, whereby, without the exercise of tension upon the band or other portions of the garment, a fullness of material is provided which accommodates itself to all such movements, allowing perfect comfort to the wearer at all times:
In Fig. 1 will be seen the fullness a, which, as gathered in and sewed to the waist band 6 provides the fullness c at the back of the garment, above the waist band which allows the wearer to stoop or bend forwardly with all freedom, without putting strain upon any part of the garment.
The front portions, as in Figs. 2 and 3, are corres ondingly cut as at d 11, allowing a fullnessiibfront which can be increased or diminished according to whether the model .waist band, balancing the is for persons of greater or less corpulency.
It will be noted that while extra material is allowed back and front in the upper garmentportion, to provide the fullness referred to, the material atthe opposite sides extends down to the waist band without sur plus.
The drawers portions, as shown in Figs. 5 and ti have each the upper fullness of ma 2 terial as at e f, which as sewed to the waist band, coincides with the fullness e and d over the intervening waist band, said drawers portions having no surplus material at their sides where they aline with the sides of the upper garment portion, which also haveno surplus material. Thus, at these side portions, which may be designated by the letter g, the waist band forms. a connector between upper and lower parts of the gardesignated points. At these parts 9 the garment may be said to pivot or hinge in the various fiexings of the body, while the waist band maintains its true circular position about the wearers waist, bccausc no strain can come upon its several parts in such movements.
-ment which are without fullness at these The side of one drawers leg is separated i in a vertical line from the lower end of the trunk to the waist band, as at h, and is provided with buttons and button holes (or other connecting means (whereby the separated portions may be fastened or unfastened at will. .When unfastened, the rear portion of that drawers'legmay be turned back as aflap, for'sanitary purposes. Atthis time, during the bending of the wearers body, the fullness e 1 below the waist band,-
cooperates with the fullness a above the arment and permitting perfect freedom of body movement without the application oftension upon any part of the garment. 4
Owing to the construction indicated the waist band is not influenced or shifted in any part thereof from its central position through the body movements because the fullness of material above and below said band compensate for such "movements, as is obvious. It will be noted that the retention lines or seams, as i of the upper garment portion are shorter than either back or front portions, and have their'junction with the drawers portions, over the waist band, at the points 9; or where no fullness of material exists either above or below the waistband, and that by this means the waist band of the garment may be loose about the body, without tendency to sag.
Particular attention is directed to the location of the drawers side opening h, which is in a vertical line a short distance back from a vertical line in the true center of the outer side of the drawers leg, where itcomes under the sphere of influence of the fullness of material provided, whereby no strain is imposed upon the fastenin s of said'side opening when the wearer is ending or sitting.
As shown in the patterns of Figs. 2-and 3 the front portions of the garment can be extended in the manner indicated by dotted .lines j, to increase the girth of the garment for corpulent wearers, this extension of material cooperating with the upper and lower fullnesses of material previously referred to.
@n account of the loose fit of the union suit about the wearer, the tullnesses provided, and the, general construction thereof, perfect freedom of movement is allowed therein, and, because oi? the facility with aorodao which the garment may be shifted about the body, the sanitary flap is most readily thrown back and the entire rear parts conveniently exposed, all without the application of tension to any part of the garment.
ll claim:
A union suit of non-elastic material consisting of a body and drawers portions con-- nected together by a waistband, said-body and drawers portions respectively having only front and back fullnesses of material at a point immediately above and below the waistband, said suit having a central front opening with fastening means and a separate andindependent opening with fastening means extending from the bottom of one drawers leg, at its outer side, upwardly to the waistband, forming a rear or seat flap.
Signed at the borough of Manhattan in the city county and State of New York this 31st day of March A. D. 1913.
