APPAREL GARMENT.

Application filed June 17, 1922.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be itknown that l, DANIEL Kors, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented an improvement in Apparel Garments, of which the following is a specication. Y

This invention relates to an apparel garment and more particularly to the form of a corset shown and described in Letters Patent No. 1,432,470 granted to meY October 17, 1922. In this style of garment the corset is constructed with a closed back, is provided with elastic inserts extending from the upper to the lower edges of the garment adjacent the front steels, and is tted with adjusting tension devices by which a pull is effected in both directions from the sides of the garment to adjust the same in position on the body of the wearer. This adjustment causes the garment to properly fit the body and also secures the adjusting devices in the position to cause the same to afford the necessary support to the underlying parts of the bod The object of my present invention is the provision in a corset garment of this type with insert devices at the back of the garment to cause the same to conform to the hips of the wearer with a yielding effect andY to provide a support for the .back of the wearer which is yielding in the lower portion and fixed at the upper portion, the constructionbeing also such as to provide for the retaining of the fleshy portion of the body at the back which would otherwise ei;- tend over the upper edge of the garment, and the corset made in accordance with this invention will be hereinafter more particularly described.

In the drawing:

Fig. 8 is a partial elevation showing the upper portion of the back of the garment, the same being shown on a larger scale than that illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2.

another form of the construction of the back of the garment. Y I

Referring to the drawing, the corset garment made in accordance with this invention includes the usual front steels 10 and 11 which are iitted, respectively, with stud members 12 and eyes 13 by which the parts of the garment are connected in the usual manner. The front steel section 10 has an extension 14, and the front steel section 11 has a similar extension 15. In the extension 14 there are eyelets 16, and similarly in the extension 15 there are eyelets 17. Below the front steel the front steel section 10 is fitted with a catch 1S adapted to be engaged by a hook 19 similarly placed in the extension 15 below the front steel. A lace 20 may be threaded through the eyelets Y16 and 17 to suitably connect these extensions when the garment is in position on the body.

In this form of garment there is an elastic section 23 extending between the front steel section 11 and the side section 22 of the body of the garment. This elastic section may be made of any suitable material, and as in similar forms of this type of garment eX- tends fromthe upper to the lower edge thereof. ln the same manner at theother end of the garment there is an elastic section 21. This extends between the front steel section 10 andthe side section of the body of the garment as indicated at 24, and like the elastic section 23 extends from the upper to the lower edge of the garment.

In the left hand side of the garment underlying the elastic section 21 there is an adjusting strap 25. Along one edge this adjusting strap is connected in the garment by the same line of stitching 26 which connects the front steel section to the yielding section. ,Along the opposite edge of this adjusting strap the same'is iitted with a series of eyelets 27. ln this form of the garment there is also an anchor'strap 28 which is secured in the garment by the same line of stitching 28 which connects the yielding section 21 to the side section y24 of the body of the garment. The forward edge of the anchor strap is provided with a series of eyelets 29, and threaded through these eyelets and the eyelets 27 and 29 is a lace 30 which is also passed through eyelets 31 so as to have the ends of the lace available eXteriorly of the garment for effecting the adjustment thereof.

Similarly yiii the V'right hand ,end oit' the armen-t there is an adjusting strap 32. long one edge this isY secured in the garesiiw Le es@ im@ einen 3.3 onnets the 'forward edge the elastic section 23 to the i'ront steelsection 1l.4v Along its opposite edge this adjusting strap is provided with a series of eyelets 34. At this end of the garment there is-als'o an'anchor strap 3,5. This is connected in the gai-nient bythe same "line of stitching 36 which connects the elastic section lto the' side. section 2270i the body of jthe garment. At its torward edge'lthe anchor strap 35 lis fitted with a yseries oteyletfs 3f?. Through these eyelets 'and' the eyelets 34 a lace38 is threaded. This'lace is also threaded through eyelets 39 si'that the'extremities' of the lace are available e'iite'riorly of the garment for adjusting the saine'to position.

As heieinbetore stated, the corset to which this 'innention relates is a closed back garlhe back section is indicated at 40. lhis'baclrl section is'iitted with stays 41 and 42`running`in positionsfparallel to vone another and lplaced Voneither side ofthe centralfline of the back section. Connected to the hack section '40' is an upper section 43v which ektendsbetween' the backl section 40 and the side sectionl 44' ot'ftlie body` of the garment, the vlatter being lconnected to the side section 24. Tlie'se'ction'i'extends from the upper edge ofthe garment 'downwardly a predetermined distance terminating along a line indicated' at45'and in `this section 43 there are siiitably placedstays '46 preferably in a position'whichis inclinedV toward the upper endpfftheliac'lr section 40. Similarly on the v other 'side ofthe garment there is an upper back ff section I'47. Thise'x'tends between the back section'40 and thesection 48 connected to;- the sidev section' 22 of the body of the garment'. 'The section'47 like the/section' 43 extends 'tromthe upperedge` ofthe garment anbrfedeterinined distance downwardly and tnminates'aing' annees which, as' 'willA be understood, Vis'th'e lower edgeof'th-is secti'nl Inv the section 4T there are stays 50 placed in af position'oppositely disposed to the staysf46.; that -is to `say sov as to be inclined Ytward tlieupper. edge ot the centralv Section 401 Y W'Atft'he hack ot the garment I employ elastic sections,eXtend'i-ngfroni the lower edge ot the lgar'inei'i't 'upwardly'so as to overlap the lower''edgesb ofthe upper back sections 43 and 47. ne 'of these "elastic sections is indicated at 5l Iand ift is connected-to the back s`ectio'i'ii4f0 along-'the lineotstitching indilcatejl at`52`, theopposite edge of the elastic' section 51 being connectedft'o the section 44l along a, line of stitching Iindicated at 53. Similarly the" elastic section 54 is connected to tiiefbaclr section 40 alongr the line oi stitching 55 and to the sectin48"along the terasse lineot stitching y5.6. The upper edge of the section 5l is indicated at 57 and the correspending edge oi the section 54 at 58, these edges extending above the lower edges Yoil the corresponding sections 43 and 4.1 so that the upper portions'oi the eiastic sections 5l and 54 materially overlap the lower portions of the sections 43 andf. rilhebaclr central section 40, as will be seen by special reference to Figs. 2 and 3 isv provided with eXtensions 59 and 60, and it is to these extensions Y 59 and 60 rather thany to the hack section 40 that the adjacent edges ci the elasticsections 5l and 54 are connected `by the lines of stitching 52 and 55 so that ii' necessary l these lines of stitching he adjusted by changing the positions ci the saine without interfering with the lconstruction oi 4the 'clined positions as shown in the other tigures of the drawing and -as hereinbeiorede.- scribed. n i

lt will be understood that with the excep-V vtion ci the parts hereinbeiore described as'v elastic the members of the garment are made ot the usual inelastic corset material.
