SKIRT-SUPPORTING DEVICE.
' Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed January 3, 1917. Serial No. 140,430.
T 0 all whomit may concern: I a j 1 Be it known that I, Tr-rnononn G. Kerr- SCHER, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Seattle, in the county of Klng and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Skirt- Supporting Devices, of which the followlng is a specification. v
My invention relates to new and useful improvements in a device for supportlng a ladys skirt and has particular reference to an ornamental novelty enhancing the ap pearance of the wearer in addition to performing the aforementioned useful function.
The primary object of my invention is to provide a device of the class dBSCI'lbGd adapted to be hung about the waist 0f the wearer and support a dress in any desired position or length.
A still further object of my inventlon resides in the provision of a device of the character described that is simple in construction, eflicient in operation andthat can be manufactured and placed on the marketat a minimum cost.
Other objects as well as the nature, characteristic features and scope of my invention will be more readily understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claims forming a part of this specification, in which:
Figure '1 is a front elevation of my lnvention as applied;
Fig. 2 is an edge view of the clamping element with the adjusting and clamping means in section;
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the rear plate of my clamping element; and
Fig. 4 is a plan view of my ornamental front plate used in connection with my clamping means.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, wherein similar characters of reference designate like and corresponding parts throughout the various views, 1 designates a silk rope hung about the waist 2 andre tained thereon by means of a pin or other securing means (not shown). It is, of course, i
to be understood that I do not limit myself to a silk rope as any other flexible or ornamental draping element may be used.
The spring clamp comprises companion plates or arms 3 and 5 shaped to represent the figure of a bird in flight. A plurality .spective groups are arranged in various anof groups of coacting teeth 4 and 6 are secured to the inner surfaces of the- plates 3 and 5, respectively. The teeth of each group are arranged in alinement and the regular positions so as to effectively grip the materlalpf the skirt. The plates or arms are provlded with pairs OffLPGItllIi-Ed ears 7 coiled'spring 9 is arranged, said spring servmg as means fornormally maintaining the teeth 4- and 6 in contact with each other.
The plates3 and 5 are provided with reduced extensions 5. and 5", respectively, which constitute" handles permitting the plates to be separated and an opening is provided in the end of one of said extensions through which a ring 10 is secured to form means for connecting the flexible elements 1. My adjusting clamp comprises a heart shaped casing 11 adapted to receive a monogram or other ornamental means on the front face thereof, said casing having a plurality of openings in the ends thereof to receive the flexible elements. A pair of plate springs 12 are secured to the inner casing of the adjusting clamp by means of rivets 13 or other suitable securing means.
In operation one end of the flexible element is inserted through the casing 11 and is provided with a tassel on the end thereof to limit the movement of the said flexible element. The opposite end of the flexible element is inserted through the casing and is attached to an end of the clamp by means of the ring 10.
, It will be understood that by forming the laterally extending fingers 3 and 5 on their respective arms 3 and 5 that I provide means which will permit the clamps to be effectually engaged with a garment in a manner to cause proper positioning of the figure of the bird thereon and to prevent further movement of the same.
From the above description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it can be easily seen that I have provided a skirt supporting device that is simple in construction, that can be cheaply manufactured and placed upon the market and sold at a minimum cost. a
It will be understood that the above description and accompanying'drawing comprehend only the general embodiment of my invention that various minor changes in de- Patented 0a. 12, .1920.
receiving the pivot pin 8 about which a tail of construction, proportion and arrangement of the parts may be made within the scope of the appended claims and without sacrificing any of the advantages of my invention. 7
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: 7
1. A device of the character described comprising a pair of plates, each cut and shaped to simulate a bird, pivot ears formed on the plates and projecting from the inner faces thereof, a pivot pin connecting the ears the pivot pin andactive upon the plates to normally hold the same in position to bring the opposed teeth in engagement with each other.
- 2. device of the character described, comprising a pair of fiat plates, pivotally connected together, said plates being shaped to provide body portions and extensions, independent series of teeth arranged at intervals on the body portions of the plates and the extensions thereof, and means active upon the plates to move the same-toward each other, and bring the teeth of the respective plates in engagement with each other.
In testimony whereof Ia-flix my, signature hereto;
