Application inea May i7, 1921. serial no. 470,347'.
To all whom it may concer/i:
Be it known that I, ALFRED M. ZiEeLiin, a citizen of the United States, and a `resident of Newton, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented an In'iproveinent in Garment Supporters, of which the following description, in conne`c tion with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like characters on the drawings representing like parts,
This invention relates Vto garment supporters and the object is to provi-de certaininiproveinents in devices of this nature which will make tliein more economical to manufacture and more attractive for use. Specific improvements are particularly adapted to garment supporters utilizing a `metallic spring gear. l
My invention will best be understood b v reference to the following description of an illustrative embodiment thereof shown by way of example iii the accon'ipanying drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1 shows a portion of a shoulder piece and one of the ends of a suspender having features illustrative of my invention;
Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1;
ig. 3 Fig. 1;
Fig. l is a view of the back portion of a pair of Suspenders; and
Fig. 5 is a sectionon the line 5-5 of Referring to Figs. l, 2 and 3 of the draw ings, 1 have there shown my invention as applied to a suspender embodying the slioulis a section on the line 3-3 of der piece 5 attached to the button engaging.
member 'T by a connection more particularly embodying my improvements, in this instance including a. metallic spring device whereby the desired resiliency in the suspender .is provided for.
l may attach to the shoulder piecc5 a tubular pocket 9 which preferably takes the form of a section of seamless woven tube or tubular webbing which may be attached to the shoulder piece iii any desired manner, in the present instance the end thereof being looped through. the ring 11 and sewed to itself. The seamless tube provides a pocket to receive a spring gear by which thebutton engaging element 7 is supported and I have herein illustrated a cross-bar 13 at the lower end of the pocket in which works a drawbar 15 supported by a spring 17.` The draw-bar in the illustrated example consists of an endless loop of flexible cord trained through eyes 19 at the ends of the crossfbar 13 and the spring 17 is a helical spring surrounding the portion of the loop above. the cross-bar and nding bearing on the eyes 19. The lower portion of the loop projects from the tubular pocket 9 for attachment to the garment engaging member 7 The use of arseamless woventube to provide a. pocket to house the spring gear gives an attractive and finished appearance to the article and requires a minimum of expense y,
' in handling' to complete thesupporter. The
pocket is secured to the body engaging pori tion of the supporter 5 very conveniently` as by sewing and to provide a finish at the lower end of the pocket and also to support through the medium of the button engaging member 7, I preferably provide a strip 28 of fairly stiff material such as fairly heavy leather which is doubled through the projecting portion ofthe loop 15. The strip 2,3 is notched at each side as shown at 25 (see Fig. 3) to provide a relatively narrow neck portion where it crosses the loop 15, the sides of the loop being closely received in these notches. The ends of the leather strip 23 maybe secured in any desired manner and herein they are looped around the member 7 and sewed together by stitching 27 FVhen strain is applied to the strip 23 the tendency is `to pull itthrough theloop 15 and since the loo-p rests inthe notches 'i 25 there is provided by the relatively stiff leather a sort of cross-head or T engaging the sides of the loop which takes up some of the strain so that it is not transmitted to the stitching 27 in such measure as would be the case if the strip could run freely through the loop. The neat and attractive finish provided by stitching isthus provided for without the necessity of making the stitching unduly heavy with resulting addi tional expense;- Inthe exaniple illustrated wherein the element 23 is not'directly at-V tached to the button but suspends a loop, the loop 7 may engage a neck oftheplement 23 as shown in the same manner as the loop 15.
In the example of the invention shown in the drawing the tube 9 is a separate piece attached to the shoulder strap 5 bythe link l1; It obviously might be a continu-ation ofY thisshoulder piece andin the constructionofa pair of Suspenders as shown I prefer to utilize fabrictubes for the shoulder straps 5. The main body portion of these will have the appearance of the ordinary` flat webbing and considerable advantage arises from 'their use in Suspenders. As shown in Figr, 4 the two tubularvstraps may go over the shoulders and becrossed in the back in the usual manner, that which passes over the left hand shoulder being attached to the right hand buttonat the'back of the trousers and vice versa, andthe two tubes simply secured together where they cross as by sewing 29 orthe likev withoutthe adl -dition of any ext ra parts and at the same time pockets are provided atlthe extremities of the' straps each to4 receive a spring gear suoli as is shown in Fig. l for making connectionwith the buttons on the trousers.
Herein I have shown buttonhole, loops of leather4r suspendedfrom thev draw-bar loop l5 inA a' manner similar to that in which the connecting member 23 is suspended in Figs. l, 2 and 3f Having thus describedin detail the particular embodiment of my invention shown by way of examplev in the accompanying.
drawings, the features exemplified vthereby which Ijclaim as new and vdesire to secure by Letters Patent I' shall delinein the follow*- ing claims:
l; A. garment-supporter,comprising a garmentengaging portion and; a sustain-ing portion, one ofsaidlportions terminatingin 'v a fabric tube, a. cross-bar at the free end of the tube, the faceI and-back. of the tube at that end beingl secured together for apart of their width to support the cross-'bar while providing space to accommodate the, drawbar hereinafter mentioned, the whole providing al structure free of" fullnesses or. an
gula-r hems, a1, draw-bar projecting from the tube, resllientimeans-in.the tube cooperating with Lthe cross-bar to sustain the draw-bar,
the;` ditjtvV-barl beingconnected-to thef other of Vsaid portions of 'the supporter.
2. A structure as defined in claim l wherein thefree end ofthe tube is inturned and the face and back stitched together whereby tovprovide for the support of the cross-bai' and the accommodation of the draw-bar as specified and likewise to pr vide a hemelike finish for the end ofthel tube. i
3. A garment supporter comprising a garmenty engaging portion and a sustaining portion, one of .sa-id portions terminating in a seam-less fabric tube, the free end of the tube being inturned and-the front and back seamed together for a portion of their Width partially to close thev tube and to provide openings to the interior thereof, a spring gear in the tube supported thereinby the closed portion of said' end and having a part projecting throughsaid openings, said partl being connected to the other of said-portions of the supporter. y
1l. A garment supporter conliprising a gai mentengaging portion andl a sustaining poi'- tion, one offsaidl portions tern'iinating in a seamless fabric tube, the front andbackof the tube at the free end thereofbeing secured together fora portion oftheir width partially toy closethe tube andfto provide openings to the interior thereof, a-springgear in the tube supported thereinby the closed portion of said end and having a part projecting through said openings, saidl part being conneetedto the other of said` portions of the supporter.
Suspenders comprising a pair of shoulder strapsofseamless tubular fabric crossed and secured together at the back and means for attaching' the straps'tov the garment comprising spring, gear received and-supported in the tubular ends of the straps and projecting from the ends thereof for attachm-ent tothe garment. 4
6; A' suspender-comprising a shoulder engaging' strap ofiseamless tubular'fabric and means for attaching the same tothe garment comprising' spring gear received and supported in thel tubular end ofl the strap ALFRED M; ZIEGLER.
