GARMENT.
Application filed September 29, 1921. Serial No. 504,222.
. have invented certain new and 'useful Improvements in Garments; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact'description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it a )pertains to make and use the same.
y invention relates to improvements in garments, and relates particularly to anew and improved means for resisting the normal slip of the garment.
Garments such as skirts and trousers, when worn without any means for supporting them from the shoulders, tend to slip downward. about the hips, impairing the hang and fit of the garment. The shirt or shirtwaist also tends to work upward from the movement of the body, causing with the shirt an unsightly bulging at the waist line and with the shirtwaist an undesirable an. embarrassing display of underwear. Shoul- (ler supports of any character are objectionable, and especially so in ladies garments, as is also any form of connection that connects the skirt to the shirtwaist or the. trouoff the garment of which it is a part, but
also that of the garment which it engages.
The invention will be further described in connection with the embodiments thereof illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings: Fig. 1 is a partial front elevation showing the improvement in connection with a skirt;
in Fig. 1, the skirt 1, which may be of my usual or desired construction, and of any suitable material, is provided with the usual waist band 2, and placket3 for permltting the skirt to he slipped on and fastened in'place. The waist band2clasps the body at the waist line, to support the skirt, and usually clasps also the bottom of the shirtwaist 4:, holding the waist between the body and the skirt band.
The. skirt tends to slip downward, because of the weight of the same, and the shirtwaist tends to slip upward through movement of the body. Thus, the garments tend to separate at the waist line. To resist this normal movement of the skirt, as well as to resist the normal slip of the shirtwaist, I arrange a strip 5 of pile fabric, which may be of the character shown in Fig. 3, on the inner face of the waist band 2, the said strip forming a liner forth'e waist band. This liner is composed of a fabric base 6, having weft threads 7 and pile threads 8. The pile threadsare so woven with respect to the warp and weft that when the fabric has been shaved in the usual manner of preparing pile fabrics, the pile threadswill be inclined with respect to the plane of the fabric, and
all the pile threads will be inclined in the same direction. If desired, the pile fabricv may be woven in the ordinary manner with the pile threads substantially at right angles to the plane of the fabric, and the pile threads may subsequently be given their angular or inclined position by steaming and brushing or any other suitable means. The strip 5 may be, for example, of approximately the same dimensions as the waist band, and it may be secured to the waist band in any suitable or desired manner, as, for instance, by stitching. It is obvious that the band may be of the same color as the material of the shirt, and similar in other respects so that there will be no noticeable difference in appearance between the strip and the band. The strip is arranged with the pile threads 8 includlng downward, and these thr'eads'by their engagement with the shirtwaist, will resist upward slip of the shirtwaist while at the same time they will resist downward slip of the skirt, and both the skirt and shirtwaist will be held in proper position with respect to the body.
In Fig. 2, the improvement is shown in connection with a pair of trousers, indicated at 9. The trousers have the usual waist band 10, and on the inner face of the waist hand there is arranged a strip 11, corresponding to the strip 5 of Fig. 1. This strip is secured to the inner face of the trouser band in any suitable or desired manner, and it is approximately of the same dimensions as the band, and may, if desired, be of the same color. The inclined pile threads of'the strip engage the shirt, indicated at 12, in the same manner that the threads of the strip 5 engages the shirtwaist 4. These inclined threads resist the normal upward slip of the shirt and the normal downward slip of the trousers.
Instead of securing the strips to the skirt or trousers, it will be evident that they can be secured to the shirt or shirtwaist, with the pile threads directed upwardly, but I regard the attachment of the pile fabric to the skirt or trousers as more advantageous.
In the embodiments of the invention illustrated, the band of pile fabric is of the same width as the waist band, but it will be evident that a'band of narrower width may be used, or even,,in some cases, a wider band, in order to obtain an increased or decreased area of efi'ective surface of the pile fabric with the garment beneath. So also, instead of having the pile fabric continuous around the entire waist band, it may be used only at certain parts of the waist band, for example, at the sides of the garments, or with patches of the pile fabric at intervals around the inside of the waist line.
The invention is applicable to nether garments at the time of their manufacture.
' Skirts or trousers can be provided with a lining for the waist band throughout its entire length or for parts of its length, and the pile fabric may be made integral withthe garment. The invention is also applicable to garments already made, for example, by securing a lining strip of the pile fabric to the waist band, or by securing patches or short lengths of a strip of the pile fabric to the inside of the waist band at intervals. Where the pile fabric is not combined with the garneeaese ment at-the time of its manufacture, it ma be prepared in strips of the desired lengtii which can be readily secured to the garment. For example, bands of the pile material may be made with the pile material extending for a portion only of the width of the band, leaving a narrow strip of the fabric base without the pile fabric, for securment.
Iclaim: 1. In a garment, having a band for clasping the'body, means for resisting the normal slip of the garment, comprising pile fabric secured to the inside of the band and having the pile threads inclined in the direction of slip of the garment.
2. In skirts and trousers, means connected with the waist band of said garments for resisting the normal downward :slip of the garments, said means comprising pile fabric secured to the inner face of the waist band, the pile threads of the strip inclining in the direction of the normal slip of the garment.
3. In garments, liners for those portions of the garment which clasp the body, said liners being of pile fabric and having the pile thread inclined in the direction of slip of the garment.
4. A liner for the waist band of skirts or trousers, of pile fabric, and having the pile JQHN MANNING VAN HEUSEN.
