GARTER.
Application filed September 6, 1924. Serial No. 736,362.
This invention relates to garters and possesses several novel features as hereinafter explained. The general object is to improve the construction and etliciency of a garter and increase its comfort and utility. A specific object is to provide a garter which may be converted so that in one adjustment it will serve for holding up socks and in another adjustment it will be adaptable for holding up stockingssuch as golf stockings.
Another object is to afford a garter for socks which will'be more flexible in application and operation, with free pivoting movements between all the parts of the garter, giving an improved self adjustment in conforming to the leg of the wearer and maximumcomfort. Another object is to afford an improved mode of-adjusting the circumference portion of the garter to the leg of the wearer. Other and further and more specific objects and advantages of the present improvement will be elucidated in the hereinafter following description of a convenient embodiment of the invention, or will be apparent to those skilled in the sub- 'ect.
1 To the attainment of such objects and advantages the present invention consists in the novel garter and the novel features of arrangement, combination, construction, operation and detail as herein illustrated or described.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a garter embodying the present invention, with the several parts mutually detached.
Fig. 2 is a view from the reverse side of one of the fastener members shown in Fig. 1.
Figs. and 4c are plan and central section views of a modified form of fastener.
The drawings show the following elements. The band 10, which encircles the leg is preferably elastic. The strap 11 which extends from the band to the sock is preferably elastic. The lower end of the strap 11 may be arranged to have the usual clasp device for engaging a sock, including the clasp button 12 and the loop member 13.
The bandlO, near its two ends, is provided with fastener members 14; and 17 The fastener member 1a maybe a stud piece comprising a. stud 15 consisting of a shank 15 for receiving and pivoting-strap 11' and an enlarged head at the t0p of the shank upon the stud 15, and is so constructed in relation to stud 15 that when snapped upon the stud it can pivot thereon. The stud 15 is arranged to function as a dual pivot post for pivoting strap 11 and also the fastener member 17 and suflic'ient clearance or play .is allowed between these various members to freely perform this function.
Preferably there is no adjustment of length of band to fit the circumference of the leg. at any point between the two fastener members, but on the contrary the adjustment is effected at the fastener member or socket piece 17. This is shown as having slots at its opposite sides through which the elastic band 10 is passed first outwardly and then inwardly, leaving a projecting band end for maximum adjustment, which projecting piece may however be trimmed off after the requirement of maximum adjustment has been obtained. The slots 20 have deflected ends 21, thereby presenting metallic corners or points 22 which effectually grip the material of the band after the proper adjustment is made, and prevent slippage.
The converter strap 11 may be either detached, as indicated in Fig. 1, or connected to the fastener members at the ends of the band 10. For this purpose the upper end of the strap 11 is provided with a metallic coupling piece 23. This has a longitudinal slot 24 narrower than the head of the stud 15, but adapted to engage the shank 15 of the stud, and to pivot freely thereon. The coupling piece 23 also has a cross slot 25 which receives the fabric at the upper end of the strap 11. The described slots are supplemented by an enlargement 26, which is at the interior side, concealed by the strap 11. This enlargement is opposite the end of the longitudinal slot 24. This arrangement allows displacement or depression of the fabric 11 into the enlargement area or recess 26 for the purpose of giving the area 'requir'edto'placethe stud 15'into engagement with theslots, When .the.sh ank 15 forattaching and pivoting the fastener-{of thefstud l5' -l1as hy-this means been .10-
