Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 15, 191W.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY J. STUART, a citizen of the United States, residing at Derby, New Haven county, State of Connect-icut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tab Ends, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to an improved button tab end for hose supporters, the object "being to provide a simple and effective means of connection between the button proper and the supporting tape whereby the necessity for sewing is avoided, and whereby no mechanical fastening is needed to insure the effective connection of said parts.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front elevation relatively enlarged of my improved button tab end.

Fig. 2 is a central vertical section.

1 represents the button or stud, such as commonly employed in garment supporters. 2 represents the base plate to which the button is secured. Above the button are two transverse slots, while below the button is one transverse slot. 3 is the supporting tape. The supporting tape is connected to the button through the medium of the frame or base plate thereof, the said tape being threaded therethrough in such a manner that by friction alone the tape will be reliably connected without the use of stitches or mechanical fastening devices. The course of the threading of the tape is as follows: The depending tapeleads through the upper slot from the front to the rear, and thence downwardly to and around the lower edge of the frame, thence through the lower slot from the front to the rear, thence up along the back of the frame to and through the intermediate slot from the rear to the front, thence up to and again through the uppermost slot from the front to the rear, and thence down to and between the two layers of fabric already lying at the back of the frame, as shown in Fig. 2. By this succession of bends, the tape when drawn taut, is held against slippage by friction alone. It will be observed that the width of the tape 3 is preferably slightly greater than the length of the slots, it having been found that the best results can be obtained by that arrangement.

What I claim is:

In a tab end, a base plate, a button mounted thereon, two transverse slots in said plate above said button, one transverse slot in said plate below said button and a tape threaded through said slots as follows: through the uppermost slot from the front to the rear, thence down to and around the lower edge of the plate and up to and through the lowermost slot from the front to the rear, thence up to and through the intermediate slot above the button from the rear to the front, thence up to and again through the uppermost slot from the front to the rear, the tip end terminating between the uppermost and lowermost slots and at the back of the frame.
