(57/71/152 JMWMW ATTORNEYS UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SAMUEL J. NEWMAN, 0'15 NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO I. N EWMAN & SONS, OF NEW HAYEN, CONNECTICUT, A FIRM CONSISTING 0F ABRAHAM L. NEWMAN, JACOB J'. NEWMAN, AND SAMUEL'J. NEWMAN.
CORSET.
Application filed June 14, 1920.
T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL J. NEWMAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Corset, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to corsets of the front lace type, and particularly to a"'c0r set similar to my former Patent No. 1256,3238, issued February 12, 1918. The object in view is to provide an improved construction at the rear of the corset wherein means are presented which will cause the corset to more exactly conform to the shape of the person wearing the same.
"Another object of the invention is to provide a corset in which the rear part is formed, particularly at the lower section, so as to cup when placedin position, and thereby conform to the body.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a corset in which a plurality of converging steels and pockets therefor are arranged at the back positioned so that the pockets at the lower end will actually overlap, the construction being such that the lower part of the rear of the corset will cup and fit snugly against the buttocks so as to present a neatappearance and prevent a visible line on a sklrt worn overthe corset.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a figure with a; corset embodying the invention shown applied thereto.
Figure 2 is a rear View of the center of the corset shown in Figure 1, illustrating how the steels and steel pockets are arranged to converge.
Figure 3 is a section through Figure 2 on line 3-3.
Figure 4 is a grouped plan view of patterns illustrating the specially constructed parts shown in Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a front view of the corset applied.
In the construction of an ordinary back lace corset the person wearing the corset may adjust the lacings at the lower part so as to produce any desired cupping or squeezing action to make the corset conform to the shape of the person, but in front lace corsets there is no means provided at the rear Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented J an. 3, 1922;
Serial No. 388,836.
improved rear section 1 has been provided as shown in Figure 2 for the corset '2. This rear section is formed in anew shape and designed to cause a decided cupping action of the lower part of the corset whereby the parts will not only snugly fit a person, but will produce the proper binding action for securing the desired contour. Informing the rear section 1 a plurality of separate pieces 3, t, 5, 6 and 7 are provided as shown in Figure 4, said pieces being arranged as shown in the drawing and adjacent edges stitched together, which will result in the formation of a construction as shown in Figure 2, except that the respective pockets 8, 9. 10 and 11 are separately formed and applied at a convenient time during the manufacture of section 1. The various sections 3 to 7 by their formation permit the cupping action when the corset is. laced in position on a person and this action is augmented and maintained by the various steels 12 arranged in the pockets 8 to 11. It will be observed that the pockets 8 and 9 converge to a large extent, while pockets 10 and 11 also converge to the same 8 and 11 actually overlappockets 9 and 10.
It will be noted that the steels 12 stop at points 14, While the steels 12 stop at points near the bottom edge 13. In forming the side pieces 3 and 7 they are constructed indentical, except one is a reverse of the other, and are each provided with a diagonal edge 15, to which is stitched the respective elastics 16 and 17. It will, of course, be understood that one edge of the elastics and also the free edges of the strips" 3 and 7 are stitched to the body of the corset 2 as shown in Figure 1, whereby a complete corset structure is produced, the front being of any usual type of front lace structure, as for instance the type shown in my former patent heretofore referred to. From Figures 2 and 4 it will be observed that the cupping action results from the combined action of the converging-steels in the rear section which are assisted by the shape of the sections as indicated in Figure 4 and by the action of the diagonally arranged elastic gores 16 and 17. In Figure 2 the fan shaped arrangement of the steels indicates clearlythat the action thereof is instrumental in causing the lower part of the corset-t0 cup in a decided manner and co-acts with the particular shape of the various'strips or sections 3 to 7 What I claim is:
1. A front laced corset having a body provided with a back section formed of a plurality of members permanently and fixedly secured together, the side members and the members adjacent thereto havirg, tapering lower ends, and a plurality of steels in said back section, the outer ones terminating a considerable distance fromthe lower end of the section.
2. A front lace corset comprising a body formed with a rear section constructed with a central substantially rectangular strip, a side strip on each side of said central strip having a tapering lower part, and auxiliary side strips adjacent the first mentioned side strips having tapering lower portions, all of said strips being connected together by lines of stitching so as to produce a substantially flat rear section, said rear section by reason of the taper of the parts thereof cupping when the corset is in use so as to snugly fit the person using the corset, and
a plurality of resilient members connected v mediate and longer steels extending to nearly the lower end of the section and the side ones terminating a considerable distance from the lower end of the section, and gores connecting the lower portions of the side members with the lower portion of the body of the corset.
4. A front laced corset, comprising abody provided with a back section formed of a central substantially rectangular member, a member on each side of the central member and having a tapering lower end, and side members having tapering lower ends, downwardly converging pockets secured to the members, the outermost pockets overlapping the other pockets at their lower ends, steels in the pockets, the steels in the inner pockets extending nearly to the lower end of the section, and elastic gores connecting the lower portions of the side members with the lower portion of the body.
