GEORGE HAKE, F ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

GAaMEN'r-snrronfrna.

To all whom t may concern.'

' is seated for properly lle it known that l, Geenen Hanna citizen of the United States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment- Snpporters, of which the following is a specificatlo This invention relates to improvements in garment supporters,

and consists in the `novel arrangement, construction and combi` Vnation of parts, the detail and Vprincipal features Vof which will be hereinaftervfully vde?cribedand set forth in the claims.

The object of my invention is to construct a garment supporter with a rigid receiving member and a resilient supporting member, `the same being so arranged as to support Vthe garment and prevent t-he same Vfrom becoming detached by the movement oi the person wearing the supporter. Y

further object of my invention is to construct a supporter', one member of which is arranged of a rigid material such as metal and to it is attached a terial on which is mounted a garment sup` porting head, the rigid material being shaped to accommodate the insertion of the head together with the garment and a receiving loop formed rigid member in which the garment supporting head together with the Vgarment between the sameand preventinglt from becoming detached by the regular move ment of the wearer.

A further object of my invention and one of the most specific features ofthe invention is to provide a garment supporter with a garment supporting head having a suitable recess formed therein which properly engages with a receiving member for holding the garment in a clamped position.

Fig. 9, is a sectional view of the same which illustrates the loop in a partially bent position. Y

In the general construction of my invention and referring to the drawings in detail 10, indicates a strap of a. resilient or lleXible material and 11 is a receiving member constructed of a rigid material such as metal or the like and which constitutes -one portion of a clamping member between which the garment is properly supported.

rlhe rigid member 11 consists of elongated loop 12, through which the strap 10 and by said strap the member is supported. Diverging from the loop 12 is a second loop 13, through which is passed and supported thel resilient member let of the supporter, which member is preferably constructed of tape or otherresilient material. Divergng from the second loop 13, are located a pair of arms 15 which are arranged on the radius of a circle and then an upper is passed run parallel and finally terminate into a receiving loop 116. This loop consists of rectangular projections 17 with suitable bent ends 18 and a cross bar 19.

The resilient member of the support consists of the tape 14 andv on the same is firmly held a garment supporting head 20, consisting of an `elongated rounded portion 21 with the integral base portion 22, the same provided with an elongated recess or grooved out portion 23 which is located directly beneath the head 21. The base portion being of shorter diameter than the head portion 2l, and this entire supporting plate 24 by means of a central fastening member 25 in the form of a rivet or the like.

The plate 24 is arranged with a pair of loops 26 through which the tape or resilient member 14 is looped for supporting the garment supporting head in its proper position.

The curvilinear portion member is of such diameter as to freely permit the head together with the garment to pass thereover to be pressed through and of the inclined then pressed downwardly through the pai allel sections and'into the receiving loop; and when so in position the garment is iirmly clamped between the bar 19 of the receiving member and the recess portion oi the supporting' head.

The supporting head Q0 previously described isv preferably constructed et' some soft durable material such as rubber or the like, so as to prevent the cutting of the gai'- ment- 4which is supported between the two members of the supporter.

In Figs. 6, 8, and 9, show a modied Vitom of the supporting loop showing the same partially bent in a position different from that illustrated in the other views. But the general position oll the two members of the supporter in supporting the garment will bring the outer horizontal member oi'u the supporting loop in the elongated recess of the supporting head and by this construction a garment is iirmiy gripped and suificient resiliency is attained without causing the tearing of the garment and at the same time prevents staining the .garment by rust caused from the n'ioisture ot the body.

0n account of the resilient member which supports the garment supporting head, the head may be partially twisted so as to enter the rigid member with the material to which it is applied, and the material may be of any thickness which when placed over the head might cause a width greater than the circumferential opening between the arms l5, and this additional thickness of the material of the garment is taken care of by means oi' the narrowness et the base section of the supporting head, and permits the saine to pass down between the parallel members, in order that the head together with the garment may properly seat itself in the receiving loop formed on the lower end of the rigid member.

Having fully described my invention what I claim is:

l'. A garment supporter comprising a rigid member, its upper portion formed into an elongated loop, a portion of the member arin its 'front which is to receive the outer bar Y of said second loop.

2. A garment supporter comprising a resilient member and a rigid member, a

strap supporting the rigid member, an elongated loop formed on the bottom end or' the rigid member, the ends of said loop heilig slightly curved, an elongated rounded head 'of non-rustable material attached to the resilient member, said head having an integral base of shorter length than the head proper, said base provided with a groove in its front side for the reception ofthe outer bar-of the receiving loop and between which a Agarment is adapted to be supported, the curved ends of the bottom loop arranged to conform to the shape of the head, substantially as specified.

3. A garment supporter comprising a garment supporting head, the same consisting of an elongated rounded portion, an integral base of shorter length, said base cut away forming a groove which is located directly beneath the elongated portion and in the front in combination with a rigid member having an elongated loop Jfor the reception of the head, the outer bar of said .loop designed to be seated vin the groove of the base for firmly gripping and supporting the garment between the head and loop, substan tially as specified.

:in testimony whereof, have signed my name to this speciication, in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
