`Application led August`18, 1919. SerialNo. 318,204.
To allwhom'itmayconcerfn.'y i f Be it known that LJOHN F. SMrLnnra citizen `of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the countyA of Dallas and State. of Texas, have invented certain `newiand `useful Improvements in Garment-Supporters; andI do declare the following tolbe'a'` full, clear, and exact f description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in garment supporters and more particularly to a device for supporting a pair of trousers from the wearers shirt, and the object of the invention is to provide an extremely simple and inexpensive device of this class which will attach to the usual suspender buttons and which will be proof against accidental detachment. y
With the foregoing in view, the invention resides in thenovel construction of the device hereinafter described and claimed,
the descriptive matter being supplemented by the accompanying drawing.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of the garment supporter applied to a shirt and a pair of trousers.
Fig. 2 is a vertical section on the plane indicated by line 2-2 of Fig.` l.
Fig. 3 is a view similar to 4ig. 2 but illustrating the manner in which the suspender button must be canted in order to attach or remove the supporter.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the Aplate forming the major portion of the device.
In the manufacture of my invention I employ a plate 1 formed of metal, Celluloid, hard rubber, or any other preferred material, said plate having a head 2 and a shank 3 rising therefrom. The head is formed with a button receiving opening l and the shank 1 is provided with a vertically elongated upwardly tapered opening 5. The portion of the plate 1 between the two openings 4 and 5 forms a connecting bar 6 having a two-fold function yet to be described.
The opening 4 is adapted to receive the usual suspender button 7 which is commonly secured by stitching or other fastening means 8 to the inner side of the trousers, said opening being provided at its lower side with a central vertical offset 9 adapted to receive the attaching means 8, while near its upper side, said opening Vis formed with 0pposed horizontal offsets 10 through which the button 7 may be inserted and removed when said button is canted byhand as seen in Fig. 8. Such canting however is necessary, since normally` the plate is tightly held between the button and the garment `and it cannot become accidentallyfremoved, even i when detached from i the: shirt andi roughly handled. The connecting bar 6 is located opposite the notch or offset 9 and serves to a large extent as a stop to assist in preventing accidental removal of the plate from the button, this being one of the functions of said bar, as above mentioned.
The other function of bar 6 is to carr fastening means coacting with the shan opening 5 in attaching the device to an ordinary shirt.v This fastening means I have shown in the `form of a tab 11 carrying a button l2 of rubber or any other preferred material, said button and the shank openlng coacting to grip the shirt, in much the same manner as an ordinary garter fastener. By providing the single bar 6 positioned as shown and serving' both as a stop tofprevent accidental detachment of the device, and as means to carry the fastening means, I am enabled to produce a more'simple. and less expensive device than could otherwise be provided and I therefore attach great importance to the multiple function of the bar in question.
The tab 11 could be of any preferred form, but I preferably construct said tab of a loop of adhesive tape as shown in Fig. 3.l
One end of the loop passes around the bar 6 while the other end thereof surrounds a base 13 with which the button 12 is equipped, being provided with an opening 14 through which the button shank projects. When t e button and its base are formed of rubber or like yielding material, I preferably reinforce said base by a washer 15 of Celluloid or other comparatively stiff material. By forming the tab 11 of adhesive tape, the device is simplified and cheapened since,v no stitching or other machine operations are necessary.
A device constructed as or approximately as shown and described will not only be simple and inexpensive, but will be highly efficient and desirable for eliminating the -useof Suspenders and belts, by supporting the trousers from the shirt, and any portion of the supporter which may be exposed to e view will not present an unsightly appearance, due to its novel shape and design, but it is not necessary to expose any of the device to View, since it may be concealed by properly folding a portion of the shirt. The button attaching Ymeans 8 is positioned in the offset 9 While the device is under strain Y in supporting the vtrousers and whenever said device is disconnected from the shirt, there is no danger of it becoming totally deu before it can be either withdrawn or in-V serted through the offsets IO.
Since excellent results have been obtained from. the exact details disclosed, they are by preference followed, but within the scope of the "invention,asl claimed numerous minor changes may well be made.
I claim: Y
A garment supporter comprising an erongated plate having a longitudinally extend ing'opening in one end and a tab co-acting therewith to attach said plate to a garment, the other end of vsaid plate having a transversely extending opening through which a button of another garment is insertible edgewise only, the material between the two openings forming a transverse attaching bar `forl said tab, the side of the transverse opening opposite saidbar having a central notch to receive the buttonattachng means.
In testimony whereof lI have hereunto set my hand.
