Application filed December 13, 1921. serial No. alt-W151.
To alt whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, @rrmrnEnnsarrnn, citizen of the Republic of Switzerland, residing at Falhenstrasse l, Zurich, Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Corsets, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad therein to the accompanying drawing.
The invention relates to improvements in w corsets having straps passing below the arms and a biparted breast-portion. Ac-. cording to the invention the len th of each of said straps is singly adjusta is for the purpose of modifying the shape of the corset. The back portion and the breast portion may be connected together by means of exchangeable intermediate members such as stra s, which are provided at least at one en" with eyelets, by means of which they are fastened to the breast portion and to the back portion respectively of the corset throah the intermediary of flexible stays pmhe through the eyelets.
Constructional examples of the corset ac-' cording to the invention are illustrated on the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a view of a first constructional example, Y
Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate details of Fig. so 1 on a lar er scale,
Fig. t illustrates in a perspective view a secondconstructional form,
Fig. 5 is view of a third constructional form and w Figs. 6-11 illustrate details of the latter on an enlarged scale.
Referrin now to the constructional form illustratedin Figs. 1-3, 1 and 2 denote the halves of the breast portion. Each half 1 w and 2 of the breast portion comprises a curved center part made of fabric which is tramed'by means of four straight tapes 1"", 1", 1, 1 and 2, 2", 2, 2 respectively. 3 and 42 are the halves of the bee portion and 5 and 6 are the halves of the body portion of the corset. The parts 1 and 2 0f the breast portion are connected to the back portions 8 and d by means of straps 7, for instance by elastic straps, assing under the arms of-the wearer. T ese' straps 7 pass through loops of a tape 8 adapted to distance said straps and which are slidably arranged along tie straps. The straps. 7 are connected with their one ends by means of eyelets taking over buttons 9 provided on the bod portion. lhe other ends of the straps g are .formed into loops 11 by means of slip buckles 10 and pass through loops provided on the tapes 12 sewn to the framing tapes 1 and 2 lln this manner the. length of each strap 7 can be varied whereby the shape of the corset can be modified. The straps may. also be secured to the breast portion by means of loops and buttons whilst maintaining the possibility of varying their lengths. 'lo the breast portions 1 and 2 shoulder straps 13 are secured, their other ends being connected to buttons on the back portion by means of loops and ribbonsld the length of the latter being adjustable. Both ends of the shoulder straps 13 may be detachably connected to the respective portions of the lid corset. Further straps, the length of which i can be varied by means of slip buckles 10, are provided in the lower part of the breast portions 1 and 2, which straps are detachably connected by loops to buttons 15 of the body ortion; their upper ends may be secure in a similar manner. In this constructional example the body portions 5, ti have the shape of a body ormer and are provided with stideners 1b which are also arranged in the back portion and which hold the latter stretched. 'lhe stid'eners 16 (Fig. 3) are concealed in casings 17-formed between the fabric and easing cover strip 18 which strip has a portion between its ends that is not sewn to the fabric at its lateral edges, so that the stifieners 16 can be removed when the corset has to be washed. 'lhe cover-strips 18 possess the further advantage that the stideners 16 do not inch when the corset is worn directly on t e bod For the same reason a flap 19 is provi ed which is secured by the lacing 20 to the body portion and which is buttoned up by loo s 21 to buttons 22 of the body ortion. 1e slidable ta es 8 may be provi ed with removable sti eners in the manner shown with the stifieners 16.
The advantages of the constructional lid separately. Further all the straps can be detached and the stifieners removed and thus all portions of the corset, breast por tion, back portion and body portion, can be boiled and washed.
In the constructional example illustrated in Fig. 4 the shoulder straps 13 are omitted. This is rendered ossible because the back ortion is stiffene in the manner shown in ig. 1, and because the straps 7 the length of which can be adjusted to permit of a good fit of the breast parts 1 and 2 to the body.
Instead of the body ortion 5 in the shape of a, body former as s own'in Fig. 1 a waist belt 5 is provided.
The constructional example shown in Fig. 1 may also be used without the shoulder straps 13. Obviously the stra s 7 the length I of which can be varied coul extend from the lateral end of the one half of the breast portion to the lateral end of the other half of the breast portion so that they form at the same time the back portion of the corset;
some stiffened slidable tapes 8 have to be arranged in this portion.
In the constructional example illustrated in Figs. 5-11 the upper part of the corset shows the bipartite back-portion 31 and the bipartite breast portion 32. Both portions are interconnected by intermediate members 33 in the shape of straps. 34 denotes the bipartite lower or body portion of the corset. In this ortion casings '35 formed by the fabric, w ich casings are open in their upper part and closed at the bottom, are prov] ed. In the casings adjacent to the lacing 36 ot the lower corset portion 34 broad flexible stays 37 are loosely inserted which are supported at their lower end in the fabric casmgs 35. The rejecting upper parts of these broad stays 37 extend into fabric casings 38 provided in the back portion 31 and connect the later in this manner with the lower portion of the corset and support it. The inner walls of the casings 38 are provided in their upper part with a number of transverse s ots 39 so that the upper parts of the broad stays 37 may be inserted at different heights into the casings 38. (Figs. 8 and 9.) Other casings 40 in the fabric of the lower portion contain removable stays or stitfeners 41 which only extend up to the upper edge of the lower portion of the corset.
The connection between the back portion 31 and the lower portion 34 as well as between the breast portion 32 and the lower portion 34 is further effected by smaller flexible stays 42 in addition to the main stays 37. In their upper arts the stays 42 project into casings 44 w ich are provided on the tapes extending in an upward direction in the lateral sldes adjacent to each other of the breast and back portions, which tapes are connected to each other by the intermediate members 33. The stays 42 of the casings 44 that are provided at the back portion project into casings 43 of the lower portion situated close by the broad stays 41. The inner walls of the casings 44 are rovided with transverse slots 46 arrange at regular intervals. It is thereby rendered possible to insert the upper parts of the stays 42 so into the casings 44 that they bridge over a part 45 situated between two transverse slots 46. At these spots the stays 44 pass through the eyelets 47 of the intermediate members 33, which can be done in two ways as is shown ata and b in Figs. 6 and 7. In this manner an easily detachable connection having no buttons for the intermediate members at diflerent heights on the breast portion and the back portion is attained. In order to prevent a longitudinal displacement of the stays 42 and the upper portion of the corset the stays 42 (Fig. 11) are provided in their upper ortion with a notch 48 with which a loop 4 is in engagement (Fig. 6) thus preventing said longitudinal displacement of the stay 42.
I claim:
1. In a corset, a body portion having a laced stay portion at the back extending above the waist, a detachable and exchangable, bi-partite breast portion, independent adjustable straps for passing under the arms connecting the breast portion to the body portion, means to permit said stra s to be connected at different vertical aositions and means to individually adjust t e length of the straps.
