Application filed. November 21, 1921. Serial K111516335.

To all whom it ma y c'oncemw Be it known that I, WILLIAM M. I-IUnsr- MAN, citizen of the United States, residing at Dillsboro,in the county of Dearborn and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Suspenders, of which the following is a'specr fication.

This invention relates to improvements in suspenders and seeks, as one of its principal objects, to provide a suspender embodying the necessary. resiliency while, at the same time, the use of'elas'tic straps is eliminated.

A further object of the invention 'isto provide a suspender employing resilient tabs and wherein said tabs will embody resilient button hole loops.

And the invention has as astill further object to provide a suspender wherein the tabs will each be formed fromfa single spring.

Other and incidental objects will appear hereinafter.

In the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the invention embodied in a pair of overall suspenders,

Figure 2 is an elevation showing one of the tabs employed, I v

Figure 3 is an enlarged transverse sectional view on the line 33 of Figure 2,

Figure 4: is a perspective view showing a slightly modified form of suspender,

Figure 5 is an elevation showing one of the tabs employed in connection with ahose supporter, and

Figure 6 is an elevation showing the invention employed as a button hole loop for a coat or other garment.

Referring now more particularly to Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the drawing, I have shown the invention embodied in a pair of overall suspenders, a pair of overalls being conventionally illustrated at 10. Crossed straps 11 are employed. These straps may be formed of fabric or other suitable material and need not be elastic, the straps being stitched or otherwise secured together at their point of intersection. At their forward ends, the straps carry appropriate loops 12 detachably engageable with the usual buttons at the front of the overalls.

Secured to the straps at their rear ends are,

silient tabs 14. As shown in detail in'Figure 2, these tabs'are "each" formed-from a suitable coil sp-ring having its end portions arranged in-overlapping relation and provlded with terminal upstanding eyes 15.

hlear the 'bend' in the spring, theend porwe tions thereof are, as shown 'indetail in Figure 3, connected by a tie wire orother appropriate element 16 to' define a button hole loop'17 ,the wire 'beingpassed one or more times through adjacent coils of the spring and having its ends bent inwardly betweenthe coils. As will be seen, the tabs may thusbe' readily produced while, at the --same time,

said tabs will'each embodyan integralloutton hole loop. The eyes 15 :of the tabs are as ShOWn' inFi ur'e 1 "en a ed with 7 2D 7 b the loops 13 upon the rear ends of the straps 11 while the button hole loops17 of said tabs are engaged with the-usual butto'ns at the rear of the overalls forconnectin'g the tabs therewith. As will be perceived, the

tabs will thus provide the necessary resiliency in the suspenders while the suspenders will prove much more durable than were the straps 11 to be formed of elastic'web bing. In fact, by, employing tabs of the character illustrated, stress upon the buttons of the overalls will be greatly relieved and, in this connection, it is to be observed that the loops 17 may be readily engaged with the buttons since said loops may be easily expanded to slip over the buttons. However, when the loops are once engaged with the buttons, the loops will contract heneath the buttons to prevent accidental disengagement of the loops therefrom.

In Figure 4 of the drawing, I lustrated a modification of the invention as embodied in a pair of what may be have iltermed dress suspenders. In this modificary loops 22 and engaged with each of these loops is a pair of tabs 28 also identical with the tabs 14c. Thus, the tabs 21 and 23 provide the necessary resiliency for the sus ponders, the loops of the tabs 21 being enlll) ' hers 26 carrying appropriate fastenings 27 other garment.

for connecting the members with a stocking. At its upper end, the strap 25 carries a loop 28 and connected, to this loop is a tab 29. is intimated, this tab is identical with the tabs 14 and, comprises a button hole loop 80 cngageable with one of the. usual buttons upon an underwaist. Thus, the tabs will impart the, necessary resiliency to the supporter and will eliminate the necessity for the use of elastic webbing.

In Figure Got the drawing, I have illustrated one ot the tabs, as shown in Figure 2', used. as abutton hole loop for a coat or In this figure, a garment is conventionally illustrated at 31 and secured to; the garment by a strap 32 is a loop 83. Connected at its ends to this loop is a but ton engaging member 34- which, as inferred, is identical with the member 14:, as previously described. As'will be perceived, a coat equipped with a plurality of the members 34; may be readily buttoned by engaging the members with the but-tons of the coat, the resiliency of said members acting to prevent the buttons from being accidentally torn off.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. A suspender tab comprising a closely wound coil spring bent double at the medial point to form a loop and two parallel shanks, a tie element passed through adja cent coils on said shanks to close the loop at the juncture of said shanks, the ends of the springwire being bent to provide upstanding terminal eyes on said shanks.

2. The combination with a' suspender strap having terminal rings, of a tab composed of a closely wound coil spring and doubled at the medial point to form. a loop and two parallel shanks, a tie element passed through adjacent coils on said shanks to close the loop at the juncture with said shanks, the ends of the spring wire being 4 bent to provide upstanding terminal eyes on said shanksv adapted to engage in one of said rings.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
