Application filed November 28, 1917. Serial No. 204,449.
To all 'whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, Minion B. HAMMOND, a .citizen of theUnited States, residing at the city of Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mens Garters; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, andexaet description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it app'ertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in a garter and it has for its primary aim lo provide a permanently closed, encircling band ot1 comparatively great width, I said band having stitched throughout its width a nonelastic member constituting a support for a garment clasp.
Further, the invention resides in an im proved and eiiicient garter which will properly set and remain in fiat engagement about the leg, and one in which the supporting strain is substantially laterally of the legencircling band to reduce the longitudinal strain to a minimum and thereby lengthenl the wear of the elastic The invention further resides in the 'feas tures of construction hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing wherein Figure 1 is an elevation of the improved garter, a portion thereof being taken away;
Fig.2 is a-vertical section on line 2;-2
of Fig. 1;
With reference to the embodiment disclosed in Figs. 1 and 2. the garter comprises a` comparatively Wide band 1 of elastic webbing, the ends of which are secured to gether by a non-elastic strip of fabric 2 that passes u and down tpe inner side of the band whereby a permanently closed legencircling member is provided. A leather strip 3 incloses the non-elastic connector 2, passing upthe front and down the inside of the band with its free ends both depending below the latter. The side edges of this leather strip are stitched1 as ai wt. to the the front over the top edge strip are stitched together immediately be- 4low the elastic band, as at 5, t0 leave the freely separable portions 6 between which the garment claspeupporting strap 7 is secured.
The strap or webbing 7 is threaded through the base of the button 8 and passed upwardly over the opposite end and down through the loop element 9 Vand finally u wardly op site said first end. These uw` hing terminals and the intermediate bend adjacent the same arev inserted between the terminal portions 6 of the leather strip 3 and secured by stitching, as illustrated.
In the form Shown' in Figs. 3 and 4, a
In 'a garter construction as erein described, the elastic webbin is very wide, being substantially three times the lwidth of the elastic band employed in the detachably closed type of garter. This extreme width affords an easy set about the leg without the binding usually experienced with a narrow band. The supporting strain of a sock does not tend to turn either the upper or lower edge of the elastic band since the stitchings 5 and 12 below the latter pass entirely through both clasp supporting straps.
Further, it will be noted that the strips 2, 3, 10 and. 13 are secured substantallyat right. angles or transversely of the elastic webbing so that the supporting strain 1s practically lateral of the webbing, and not longitudinal thereof. Consequently, the life of garter elastic is greatly prolonged.
` This is zwccntunted more clearly in Figs. l
und 3 wherein the upper edges of the ends of the elastic bund meet at a very 4.large obtuse angle, closely approaching a straight single. The strips passing upwardly over the upper edge und down on the opposite lside of the elastic band, und being stitched thereto throughout the 'entire width7 securely holds the elastic webbing from puckering or wrinkling.'.
What isclaimed is:
A garter comprising a comparatively wide leg encircling member of elastic material, :t Anon-elzistic member consisting of two downwardly extending portions having 15 Straight parallel side edges inclosing the epds of the leg encircling member whereby :t permanently closed garter is formed, supporting webbings depending from the sind non-elastic member, and clasp members carried by the lower ends of said Webbings,
said downwardly extending portions being each stitched to the leg encircling member throughout the width of the latter by lines of stitching parallel to the straight side 25 ed es.
n testimony whereof I aflix my si nature.
M. B. HAMM ND.
