LADYS UNDERGARMENT AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 19*, 19MB.
Application filed March 10, 1916. Serial No. 83,236.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, ELMER H. PHILLIPS, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, and ARTHUR J. Dosonnn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Ladys Undergarment and Method of Making Same, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
Our invention relates to a ladysundergarment.
The object thereof is to provide a strapless undergarment which will not slip from wearer.
WVith the above and other objects in view, the nature of which will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as herein fully described, illustrated and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of the application, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a perspective front elevation of a vest embodying our invention as it would appear on a person wearing the same; Fig. 2 is a perspective rear elevation of the vest as it appears on a person-wearing it; Fig. 3 is the normal appearance of the garment in elevation; Fig. 4 is an enlarged section on line 4% Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is an elevation of a modified structure of a garment shown on the wearer; Fig. 6 is an enlarged cross section of the garment on line 66 Fig. 5; and Fig. 7 is a section on line 77, Fig. 6.
Our garment is formed of two sections, a body section 7 and a bust section 8 smaller in size than the body section 7. The two sections may be formed of the same or of difierent materials, suitable for this class of garment. The two sections are preferably knit, but either section may be knit or manufactured in any other way. If the lower or body section is knit on a machine forming a garment of size 36, the upper or bust section 8 of the same garment is knit on a machine for forming size 34 or 32 or even a smaller size. The important feature is that the bust section should be of a smaller size than the body se ti n, which is to form part of the same garment. The body section and the bust section meet at the breast line 9, where they are stitched, preferably on their inner surface, and the seam evened and reinforced by any suitable machine stitch 10.
Due to the difference in size of the bust and body sections, the garment ruffles at the breast line, as shown. The reinforcing seam of the garment takes the maximum strain or tension and relieves, to a great extent the tension on the bust section 8 when the garment is on the wearer. Due to the fact that the bust section is of a smaller size than the body section, the garment the body of the wearer without any necessity for straps as is customary for this class of garments.
The breast line 9 of the garment when on the wearer is substantially on a level with the nipples, and the tendency of the garment to descend is resisted by the bust; and in view of the fact that the bust section is of smaller size than the body section, the garment is prevented from descending. It must be understood that the size of garment is indicated by the lower or body section.
In Figs. 5 and 6 the bust section 8 of the garment is shown of a material different from the material of the body section 7, the body section 7 being made on the knit ting machine, while the bust section 8 is not, and is perferably of a material different from the body section. The two sections are of different size, as previously stated, and are united at the breast line 9 in a manner similar to what has been described for Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive. If desired, the upper or bust section may be knitted and the lower or body section not.
In the manufacture of our garment, we do not complete the garment but stop at the breast line, when making either the body section or the bust section, the garment being completed by uniting the two sections of difierent sizes as has been described.
We claim:
1. A garment of the class described comprising a body section and a bust section of smaller size than the body section united to the body section by a transverse reinforcing joint at the breast line of the garment which prevents the material from stretching to excess.
2. A method of manufacturing ladies unis supported by dergarments, which consists in knitting agarment of predetermined size up to the breast line, forming from the breast line an independent bust section of the garment of smaller size than the knitted part of the garment, seaming the tWo unequally sized sections at the breast line, and reinforcing the seam.
In testimony whereof We have signed our names to this specification in the presence 10 of two subscrlblng Witnesses.
