ANNIE L. HOBART, OF LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN CORSET-BUSK PROTECTORS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 149,040, dated March 31, 1874; application filed February 2, 1874.
To all whom it may concern.-
- Be it known that I, ANNIE L. HOBART, of Lowell, in the county of Middlesex and Commonwea-lth of Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Corset-Protector, of which the following is a specification:
The object of' my invention is to prevent the breakingof the bent corset-springs at the waist of the wearer, and to promote the comfort of the wearer of the same.
My invention consists in two or more narrow, flat springs, placed nearly edge to edge, and covered with a suitable flexible covering, as hereinafter described.
The accompanying drawing represents my invention with the covering ripped open and laid back, showing the springs.
a a a. 60' represent thin, narrow, flat steel springs, placed nearly edge to edge, (with just space enough between them to allow the cover in g to be stitched together between them and inclosed in a covering of cloth, I). The coverin g b is stitched together between the springs, from end to end, and across the ends. The protector, when completed, should be a trifle longer than the corset-springs which it protects. The protector, when worn, is placed vertically within the corset, directly behind the bent springs which form the front edges of a corset, and is kept in place merely by the pressure of the corset against the body of the wearer. The protector prevents the corset springs from breaking by making the bend in them less abrupt when the wearer stoops, and it also protects the underclothing from being torn and the person from being injured by the ends of the broken corset-springs in case said corset'springs should break. The springs in the protector are not likely to break all at the same time/Instead of cloth, leather of some soft kind, like kid, may be used for the coverin g b, and would probably be preferred in warm weather. The covering b may be made of one or more thicknesses to increase the softness of the protectorg/and the springs a a a a may each have a eparate covering, as shown at c, in addition to the covering I).
I do not limit myself to any number of ANNIE L. HOBART.
