WIRE CORSET STAY.
APPLICATION FILED PEB.24, 1913.

WIRE CORSET-STAY.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 26, 1914.
Application filed February 24, 1913. Serial No. 750,103.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Mosns MOODY DowNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bridgeport, county of Fairfield, State of Connecticut, have invented an Improvement in WVire Corset-Stays, of which1the following is a specification.
This invention has for its object to provide an easily made and inexpensive wire corset stay which will remain flat. under all conditions, will be alike on both edges, will permit the required forward and backward flexion, will permit a limited amount of sidewise flexion, will not buckle when flexed sidewise and will possess the maximum of strength and durability with a minimum number of strands and minimum weight and consumption of wire.
With these and other objects in view I have devised a wire corset stay comprising a relatively large coiled central strand and relatively small oppositely coiled binding strands, the successive coils of the binding strands preferably engaging successive coils of the central strand.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, Figures 1 and 2 are elevations illustrating variant forms in which I have carried the invention into effeet.
10 denotes the coiled central strand and 11 and 12 the binding strands. The central and binding strands are shown as made from the same size of wire although different sizes of wire may be used if preferred. The method of manufacturing my novel stay is wholly immaterial so far as the present invention is concerned, it being deemed sufficient for the purposes of this specification to state that the central strand is coiled and the binding strands are coiled in opposite directions and are threaded into the coils of the central strand. In both of the forms illustrated, the coils of the binding strands are so extended or spaced apart as to form in the finished stay eyes, specifically indicated by 13, and intermediate portions, specifically indicated by 14.
In the form illustrated in Fig. 1, each eye of each binding strand engages a coil of the central strand so that each coil of said central strand isengaged on opposite sides by an eye of a binding strand.
The form illustrated in Fig. 2 diflers in that the binding strands are reversed from the position in Fig. 1, theeyes extending outward, and the intermediate portions of sa1d strands engaging the coils of the central strand, each coil of said central strand being engaged on opposite sides by an intermediate portion of a binding strand and each coil of both the central and the binding strands being engaged.
Having engaged the coils of the binding strands with the coils of the central strand,
the strip, comprising the central strand and the interlocked binding strands on opposite sides thereof, is passed between rolls, the eflect of which is to flatten the strip into shape for cutting into lengths and tipping. It will be noted that in the completed strip the flattened eyes of the binding strands are slightly twisted, one edge of each eye, in the form illustrated in Fig. 1, lying under one side of the coil of the central strand with which it is engaged and over the other side of said coil. The interlocking of the eyes, or intermediate portions, as may be, of the binding strands with the central strand in the manner described, provides an admirable resilient support for every part of the stay. The stay in other words is given the necessary rigidity that is required in use While at the same time there is ample resilience for both forward and backward or edgewise flexion and without danger of the stay buckling when flexed in any direction.
The term coiled as herein employed is intended to define a construction in which the strand or wire is continuously or progressively curved in the same direction to form a series of closed eyes and intermediate portions, the portions of the strand forming opposite sides of each eye crossing one another, as clearly shown in the drawing, as distinguished from a construction in which the strand or wire is bent or curved alternately in opposite directions into a zigzag form providing a series of substantially open loops. Under this nomenclature each complete coil comprises so much of the strand or wire as extends from a given point thereon to the next similarly located point and includes one complete eye and one complete intermediate portion.
Having thus described my invention I claim 1. Acorset stay comprising a relatively large coiled central strand and relatively small oppositely coiled binding strands arranged at opposite sides of said central strand, each of said strands consisting of a single wire, the coils of the binding strands being interlocked with the coils of the central strand, and the coils of said central and binding strands being flattened into substantially the same plane.
2. A corset stay comprising a relatively large coiled central strand and relatively small oppositely coiled binding strands arranged at opposite sides of said central strand, each of said strands consisting of a single wire, the successive coils of said bind ing strands being interlocked with the coils of the central strand, each coil of said central strand engaging at opposite sides one of the COllS of each of said binding strands, and the coils of said central and binding strands being flattened into substantially the same plane.
3. A corset stay comprising a relatively large coiled central strand and relatively small oppositely coiled binding strands, each of said strands consisting of a single wire forming eyes and intermediate portions, the eyes of the binding strands being engaged with the coils of the central strand on opposite sides, and each coil of the central strand being engaged with an eye of a binding strand.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
