THOMAS M. BROWNING, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
MAN'S AND BOYS DRAWERS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr.-6, 1915.
Application filed April 10, 1913. Serial No. 760,205.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS M. BRowN- ING, a citizen of the United States, reslding in the city and county of Philadelphia, in
16 to-so'construct and arrange the suspender tapes of drawers, that they may not only.
subserve their usual function of supporting the drawers by their engagement with the front terminals of the suspenders of the wearers, but also be utilized to effect a given adjustment in circumference of the walsts of the drawers, thus enabling the special waist adjusting devices ordinarily employed at the backs of the drawers to be omitted.
In the accompanying drawings I 'show, and herein I describe, the preferred embodiment of my invention, the'particular subject matter claimed as novel being hereinafter definitely. specified.
In the drawings, Figure l is a view in perspective of the waist band and the adjacent upper portion of a pair of drawers equipped with my improvements. Figs.2 and 3, are elevations of a fragmentary portion of the drawers, including the waist band and the adjacent "portion of the garment, illustrating the arrangement and aplication of my improvement, the respective gures exhibitingdiflerent -positions of adjustment.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
' In the drawings, a indicates the waist band of the drawers 6, of whieh'latter but a drawers bein of any preferred general construction'an arrangement, and having the usual front central opening 6.
d are the suspender tapes, the same being of any material usually employed, or of any selected flexible material suitable for the purpose. Sai'd suspender tapes are shown as arranged in the usual position on the drawers, that is to say upon the exterior of the front portion of the garment, and one fragmentary portion is illustrated,- the on either side of the openingc, at a slight distance from-the latter.
Referring to the drawings, each suspender tape is shown as having one end, namely the'end nearer the opening a, permanently attached by stitching tothe waist band of the garment, as indicated at e, and as having its central portion passed behind a stay f, with respect to which said tape is free to slide in the direction of its own length. Said stay is-permanentl attached to the waist bandyand, as herein shown, it is conveniently producedfrom the substance of the drawers,"by forming the two parallel slits g in the fabric, but may of course be otherwise provided. The extended free ends of the suspender tapes are, to make possible the variation in effective length of the waist band of the drawers, adjustably connected to the body of the drawers by button and button hole connections. In so connecting the free end of a suspender tape to the drawers, I provide either of said elements with either member of a button and button hole connection, and "the other of said elements with a plurality of the complemental members of the button and button hole con-' nection, so that the'first mentioned member may be engaged at will with any one of said last mentioned or complemental members. The free end of each tape is, in my preferred construction, provided with a single button hole it, and on the waist band of the drawers, in the vicinity of the said free end, are arranged a plurality of buttons c', two beingshown in the present instance, located a short distance from each other in the direction of the length of the waist band, but at such points that the free end of the tape may by its button hole It be engaged with either'at'will; I
Manifestly; when the free end of one of the tapes is engaged with that one of the two buttons associated 'with it, -which"is'- nearer the point e, as shown in Fig. 2, the fabric of the drawers is, under the predetermined arrangement of the parts therein depicted,unafiected in adjustment in respect to the waist measurement of the garment, by the presence of the tape and its engagement with said button. When, however, the free end of said suspender tape is, by its said button hole It, engaged with the other button i, of thetwo associated with it, that is to say the button which is farther from the mal distance from-said point of attachment e to said farther button 71, the circumference of the waist portion of the garment is in effect shortened, and incidentally, a portion of the waist band materialbetween the point e and the last mentioned button i, is taken up so to speak, in gathers or folds. Manifestly, the lessening in circumferenceof the waist of the garment, may be carried farther, by similarly securingthe free end of the second tape d of the pair with which the drawers are provided, to that button 2', of the two associated with it, which is farther from the front end of said tape, The connecting of the free end of a tape with the outermost of the plurality of buttons associated with it, whether such plurality comprises two buttons or a greater number, oc
casions, as explained, the gathering of the material of the edge portion of thedrawers between the point e and the said outermost button, and it is in order that such gathering of the fabric may be distributed, so to speak, throughout the edge region covered by a suspender tape, that I prefer to secure the central portion of each suspender tape to the body of the drawers by the sliding connection shown in the figures of the drawing under discussion instead of by the fixed stitching hitherto usually employed in securing the centers of suspender tapes. As a result of this preferred construction, (when,
. as I also prefer, no gore is formed in the waist band of the garment) the gathering or drawing of the drawers material, when thet'ape is attached to the outermost button, will tend to form a number of small folds, such as those designated 1 in Fig. 3, which, being slight, will not be uncomfortable to the wearer, as might be theflcase were all the gather of the drawers material when the tape is attached to the outermost button, accumulated so to speak, in onelarge fold,
It will be apparent that the accessible location of the suspender tapes at the front of the garment, enables the wearer to make any required adjustment, very easily and quickly, at anytime while wearing the garment. It will also be apparent that the adjustment of the waist band may be effected between the permanently attached end e and the button and button hole connection, and that the button and button hole connection will be protected by the stay f from the upward pull of the suspender terminal upon that portion of the tape extending between the permanently attached end 6 and the stay f, thus preventing the accidental loosening of the. button and button hole connection, under the various movements of the person wearing the drawers. It will also be apparent that by the location of the button and button hole connection at the rear end of the tape, the subjection of said connection, in use, to direct contact and pressure of the suspender terminal, in-the movements of the body of the wearer, is very largely avoided, such direct pressure and wear coming mainly upon the front end of the tape which is permanently connected to the waist band and therefore better able to resist same.
Having thus described m invention, I claim and desire to secure b etters Patent:
In a pair of mens or boys drawers, a waist band, a suspender tape having one end permanently secured to the waist band near the front opening therein and extending from its permanently secured end in a direction away from said front opening, means for adj ustably attaching the other end of the v tape to the waist band, said means comprising spaced button and button hole connections, a part permanently attached to the Waist band between and in spaced relation to said means and the permanently secured end of the tape and forming a connection between the waist band and the tape through which the latter may slide longitudinally of the Waist band, theportion of said tape between its permanently secured end and said part being sufliciently long to receive a suspender terminal between it. and the waist band.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name this fifth day of April, A. D. 1913.
' THOM S M. BROWNING.
