lack of sufiicient give in the material to compensate for the strains applied thereto.

This invention has been developed to provide an improved type of supporting jacket or underwaist which is so constructed withreinforcing tapes-and with plaited sections in the rear portion to permit the plaited portions to be extended when a person wearing an improved waist of this type bends over, thereby obviating undue strains on the supporting buttons and on the goods due to the fact that the plaited portions relieve said goods and the buttons from undue tensional strains.

It is an object of this invention to provide of reinforcing tapes on the back portion dividing the back portion into sections between which the material forming said sections is transversely plaited to permit the sections tobe temporarily extended longitudinally when strains are applied to the rear sections by a lower garment buttoned onto the waist.

It is also an object of this invention to provide a childs underwaist Witlrplaited sections having supporting buttons mounted thereon, permitting a lower garment to be buttoned to the waist, the plaited portions of said waist being adapted to stretch when a child bends over to relieve the material of undue tensional strains, thereby prolonging the life of the underwaist.

It is an important object of this invention to provide a childs supporting waist reinforced with tapes dividing the rear portion of the waist into a plurality of sections which are plaited above a circumferential strip or tape girdle on which supporting buttons are suspended by means of tape loops, thereby permitting a lower garment to be engaged on said buttons, allowing the child to bend without danger of applying undue tensional strains to the material forming said sections, thereby obviating tearing of the material and pulling off of buttons.

Other and further important objects of this invention will be apparent from the disclosures in the specification and the, accompanying drawings.

This invention (in a preferred form) is illustrated in the drawings and hereinafter more fully described.

On the drawings: .Figure 1 illustrates a boy wearing an improved supporting waist embodying the principles of this invention.

Figure 2 illustrates a boy bending over, illustrating the elongated position of the- Waistsections caused by the strains applied thereto by a pair of trousers attached to the waist buttons and illustrated in dotted lines. Figure 3 is an enlarged developed plan view of the supporting waist. Figure 1 is a fragmentary detail plan view of the lower rear portion of the Waist showing the position of an extensible section when a pull is applied thereto.

Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary detail section taken on line V-V of'Figure 3. i a childs supporting waist with a plurality As shown on the drawings:

The reference numeral 1 indicates a boy or child wearing an improved supporting Waist embodying the principles of this invention and comprising front side sections 2 and 3 forcing hem 10 on which buttons 11 are sewed for use with the button holes 9 so that the waist when worn by a child may be but.- toned down the front of the child.

The improved supporting waist is provided with a pair of rear reinforcing tapes or straps 12 extending from the shoulder straps 7 downwardly to the lower hem of the waist. The reinforcing tapes 12 are stitched in position and divide the back waist section 4 from the two side rear sections 5 and 6. A reinforcing tape 13 is stitched in place between the waist sections 3 and 6 and extends from the arm hole downwardly to a circumferential or belt tape 14 stitched around the exterior of the lower portion of the waist a short distance abovethe lower 1 hem of said waist. Another reinforcing tape button supporting sewed.

15 separates the waist sections 2 and 5 and extends from the, second arm hole downwardly to'the belt tape 14. Secured to the belt tape 14 atspaced intervals are a plurality of ta e loops 16 a bight portion of each of whic is engaged through'a button 17 to hold .each of the buttons suspended from the belt tape beneath which the ends of the loops 16 are fastened or The three backsections 4, 5, and 6 forming the. back of the waist are each provided witlfa transverse open. plait or fold 18 directly above the belt tape 14 with the ends of said plaits sewed under the respective reinforcing tapes 12, 13, and 15.

The novel construction of the improved supporting waist or underjacket equi pad with the open folds or plaits 18 in the back panel sections between the reinforcing tapes 12, 13, and 15 and above the belt tape 14 affords an arrangement whereby the back sections are permitted to be elongated or I stretched due to the opening of the plaits 18,

as illustratedin-Figures 2 and 4, when the person wearing-the waist bends over and a pull is exerted on the rear supporting buttons of the waist by the trousers 19 or any other lower garment attached, or'buttoned onto the supporting waist. It will thus be seen that with the extension plaits 18 provided as-described that when a person bends the goods forming the-back of the underwaist is relieved of any undue strains or pullsso that the material formin the waist 1s not .torn nor are the buttons pul ed off. A

very durable. and strong underwaist-is thus provided having the plaited or shirred p0r= tions in the back sections serving to allow stretching .of the back waist sections when necessary, thereby "saving said sections from tearing. The improved underwaistequipped {with the extensible plaits also affords a garvment which can be worn with a great deal of ease and convenience.

I am aware that many changes may be made, and numerous details of construction may be varied through a wide range without departing from the principles of this inven- 'tion, and I therefore do not purpose limiting the patentranted hereon, otherwise than necessitated y the prior art. I claim as my invention:

1. A supporting waist comprising a jacket constructed to be buttoned down-the front, a waist band secured to said jacket above the lower margin" thereof, a dplurality of loops secured to said waist ban buttons mounted with the bights of said loops projecting through the holes of said buttons, a plurality of reinforcing ta es longitudinally se cured on the back portion of the jacket ex tending from the upper portions of the jacket downwardly todivide the rear portion of the jacket into a plurality of sections, and transverse plaits in said sections above the waist band and between said rein forcing tapes.

2. A supporting waist of the class 'described comprisinga jacket constructed to be buttoned down the front and having shoulder straps forming a part thereof, a waist band secured to said jacket, buttons suspended from said waist band, a plurality of reinforcing tapes extendin longitudinally from the upper portion of t e waist downwardly andstitched their entire lengthbto divide the backof the waist into a plurality of sections,

and plaits in said sections to permit the sections separated by said tapes to beindependently elongated without straining the material when a person wearing the jacket bends. Y

3. A supporting waist of the class'described comprising back and front side sections, a waist band secured across said back and side sections, loops secured to said waist band, buttons supported on said loops, a

plurality of tapes stitched for their entire length longitudinally on said back dividing the same into a plurality of sections, and independently ex-tendible means formed in each of said back sections to permit said back sections to be independently elon ated when a pull is applied to said waist and by a garment supported by said buttons.

4. A supporting waist comprising a jacket constructed with shoulder straps and adapted to be butt oned down the front, a plu-.

rality of reinforcing tapes stitched to the back of the. jacket and extending from the upper portion of said back downwardlytowardthe bottom dividing the back into a plurality of sections, plaits formed in said ack sections with the ends of said plaits closed by stitching passing through said tapes permitting the back sections to be elongated when a pull is exerted on the lower ends thereof, and garment supporting means between the reinforcing tapes and below said plaits.

5. A supporting jacket-comprising a wais adapted to be buttoned down the front, a
