vented a *new and useful improvement-in an Loop .Attachment for Suspenders, ofwhich the following, together with the-accompany ing drawings, isa specification.
My invention relates to suspendersk and f other similar devicesthat uare,"adapte`d to support articles of wearing apparel by the attachment thereof to buttons-carried bythe article of clothing which is to be supported.
Suspenders, as heretofore constructed, have usually been; provided with. flexible members removably secured to the elastic supporting members and provided at their ends with button receiving portions, either in the form of button holes cut in the flexible material, or loops. It has been found that the loop construction is superior to button holes, particularly where the Suspenders are liable to be subjected to any great strain, due to the fact that material having great tensile strength, such as closely woven tubular braid, can be employed to form the but ton receiving loops. Difficulties have been encountered however, in securing the ends of the braid to the body portion thereof beyond the loops, and various metallic clamping devices have been employed for this purpose which considerably increases the cost of manufacture of loop attachments.
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved loop attachment which is formed entirely from a single length of braided material without necessitating the use of any clips or other metallic clamping devices to hold the loops.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. l is a view of a length of braided material from which a loop attachment is .to be formed.
Fig. 2 is a view illustrating the length. of
material shown in Fig. l with one loop.
formed therein' and with the other loop about to be formed.
Fig. 3 is a view showing one of my improved loop attachments applied to a portion vof apair of Suspenders.
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view showing a modification of the device for securing the loop attachment to the Suspenders.
Like reference characters refer to like parts in the different figures.
. In making up yone of myk improved loop attachments, the rst step consists in providingv a ylength l of tubular braided material.
(lne end portion 2 is then inserted into the body portion ofthe length; by means of a -bodlrin or tape needle 8', the end being brought out of the body portion -an appreciable distance beyond thefpoint where it was inserted. There isthus formed a loop -4, the length of whichmay be regulated by pullingthrough the end portion 2 the necessary amount. c I
:The other end* portion 5 is then' passed through a suitablegclip 6 which is adapted to be attached to the Suspenders, as will be hereinafter `described.` The end portion is theninserted into the body portion of the length l to form a loop 7 in the same manner as the loop 4 was formed. The projecting end portions 2 and 5 are then cut olf flush with the body portion of the braid and the loop attachment' then appears as in Fig. 3.
The completed loop attachment is then ready to be applied to the elastic member 8 of a pair of Suspendersv or other similar ar-A ticle, by securing the clip 6 to a holding` device 9. The clip 6 and the holding device 9 form no part of the present invention and may be ofany desiredfform. tion in the manner in which the loop attachment may be secured to a iiexible mem ber 10 is shown in Fig. 4, wherein the clip is omitted and the attachment itself is removably secured to the member l0 by means `of a tongue ll'passed around the middle por.
tion ofthe loop attachment and secured by means of a snap fastener l2.
The loops 4` and 7 are adapted to receive buttons secured to the article of wearing apparell which it is desired to support, and when once formed, the loops will have no tendency to pull out when subjected to strain, for the reason that any strain to which the attachment is subjected will cause the inserted end portions 2 and 5 to be firmly held by the gripping force of that part of the body of the braid which surrounds the end portions. This grippingfforce is due 'to the fact' that tubular braid tends to elongate when subjected` to a tensile strain and consequently the inserted end portions are gripped on all sides by the walls of the body portion and prevented from pulling out. Obviously, the greater the strain, the greater will be the gripping of the end por,-
A modificaj CFI tions, so that tho loops will hold lirmly at all times.
F rom the foregoing then, it is apparent that I have provided an improved loop attachment that eomprises a single length ot' braided material in Whichv the loops are formed by merely passing` the end portions of a length ot material through the body portion thereof and cutting olf the projecting ends. Obviously, suchv an attachment,- can be manufactured much more cheaply than were the loops tobe formed by the at- "tachment of metallic clamping devices to the endportions ot the loops. My improved loon attachment can be manu'lfaetured very cheaply in large quantities and can be made up in any desired lengths. The loops can be formed by unskilled personsl` without the use of any machinery or tools other than an ordinary bodkin ork tape needle. Furthermore, my loop attachment can be sold directly to users of Suspenders to replace Worn out loops of the old type, in which case,
-the users can adjust the distance between the loops to suit their own taste.
I claim,
l. A loop attachment 'for suspcnders, consisting of a length of tubular braided matcrial, the end portions of which are retained in the body portion'ot'the material to pro- 'i ride closed loops at the ends of the length.
2. A loop attachment for Suspenders, oonsisting of a length of tubular braided material, the end portions of which material are turned back and extend into the body portion ot the material to provide closed end loops. .v
3. The method ofmalring a loop attachment tor suspenders,' ,which consists in inf loops beyond the points of insertion.
