GARMENT SUSPENDER.
Application filed May it This invention relates to garment supports and is particularly directed to a suspender of the type supporting. a garment frombthe shoulders of the person:
It is an object of this invention to provlde a garment suspender, supported, from, the shoulders of the person, having a sliding attachment at the hip portions of the trousers and the front and rear straps for respective suspender sides being continuous to accomniodate for strains imparted] to either the front or rear portions of the straps by utilizing the slack created on oneside, as the back is bent, to be taken up, through the sliding attachment, by the strained strap portion on the other side.
It is another ob'ect of this invention ltO provide claso mountings for this'type of sijispender through which the elastic straps may-easilyslide without damage tothe straps, the clasps having roller characten istics and the straps throughout the range of sliding movement being provided with nonstretchable strips in engagement with the clasps.
Still another object resides .in the suspender attachn'ient .meanswherein the elastic straps are reinforced and prevented from stretching at the point of sliding engagement with the clasp and the elastic relieved of conln'eakiug of the elastic caused by the rubbing of the metal parts over the stretched clasti J.
Other objects relate to the particular arrangement of the strapsgiving greater comfort to the user and preventing any undue strains upon the suspender structure, to greater ease in attaching the suspender when worn beneath the shirt, and to features of adiustment and fabrication.
Further objects and advantages will be more fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which:
Figure 1 is a general perspective'view illus trating the improved suspender,-mounted upon a person. V
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2, Figure 1, detailing the'structure at the juncture of the straps in the rear.
*igure 3 is a detailed plan view illustrating the non-elastic reinforcement strip at the point of the button engaging clasps.
1927. Serial No. 190,291.
Figure 1 is a detailed sectional view taken on line 4-4, Figure 3, showing the mounting of a clasp} p Figure 5 is a side view of the suspender strap at the point of reinforcement showing the elastic in unstretched condition. The attachment of the suspenders to the trousers for proper suspension is in this case at two points or at the hip portions of the trousers. This arrangement of the suspender permits freer movement of the body since the hips may be termed the pivot points for direct forward and backward movement of the upper part of the body, and may thus be utilized to constitute the same means for the suspenders. Any flexing or twisting of the back, stretching a front or rear strap in abnormal cases would impart a breaking strainupon the elastic or upon the attachment means. Howevenin this instance, the straps are free to adjust themselves, as these strains are imparted to them, having a sliding connection at thepoints of attachment to the trousers.
The pair of straps, one at each side of the body are substantiallycontinuous, and in the juncture of the respectivestraps centrally of the back over the shoulders and downward to the point of suspension and then upward as rear portions to be attached to the previously mentioned point of juncture.
The slack created in that portion of a respective strap, either front or rear on the side concaved by flexing of the back is taken up by the strapunder load, due to the con- "form of loops extending from the point of tinuity of the straps and the fact that the straps at the point of trouser suspension slidably pass through the clasps; The engagement is through a roller on the clasps and nonstretchablestrips attached to the elastic straps.
Referring to the'drawing, the Suspender is indicated generally asat 1, being shown in its entirety and in mounted position in Figure 1. The pair of straps 2-2, each constituting a front and rear strap, are in the form of loops with suitable adjustment means pro,- vided. for lengthening the strap loops; The formation of these loops is by stitching the respective ends of the straps between an elastic juncture strip 3 disposed longitudinally of the persons back when in mounted position. Thls uncture strip is folded upon itself and stitched along its margin securing in adja cent relation the corresponding ends of the respective straps.
Clasps 4 are disposed one upon each of the strap loops 2 intermediate thereof. Each clasp is formed of Wire to provide aslot, 5 Jat one end and a loop portion (3 at the other With an intermediate Wide portion 6 largcenough to receive the button over which the clasp is inserted. The straps are extended through the slotted portions ofthe Clasps and the loops dependtherefrom shown in Figure 1, to be engaged about buttons on the trousers The buttons areeither on the inside or outside of the trousers, preferably the former.
It is convenient-to attach the suspender when.
Worn beneath the shirtsii ice the hips are easily accessible from the open frontoi the sl irt for attach'ingthe clasps. The shirt is thereby held at the clasps since the shirt between the same and the button and is held about the button.
The straps engage against wide rollers 7 mounted about the uppercross bars 7 of the clasps. The clasp-structure is reinforced at the lowerend of the slot by a clasp 8 binding together the downwardly extending clasp forming Wire lengths. I
Due, to their disposition on the person, the elastic straps are turned substantially upon themselves at the point Where they engage the clasp rollers. This comparatively sharp creasing of the elastic, coupled with the suspended load overstretching'the elastic at this point, tends to break or fray the straps. in order to suitably reinforce these straps at this point and to provide a hardened non-stretchable surface for the rollers they are engaged upon straight out fabric strips .9 attachedto vided upon its end 12 with a clamp 13 of common construction-utilized in suspenders. This clasp encircles that portion of the section over which the end is lappodand is designed to permit a sliding movement thereof on the encirclcdstrap portion for adjusting the length of the strap and operative to impinge thematerial so as to be set in any. desired position.
Having described my invention, 1 claim: A suspender of the-class described, comprising, a pair of elastic straps in the form of loops having. their ends fastened together joiningthe loops, each loop adapted to eir' circle a shoulder of the wearer, button clasps at theloiver end of each loop adapted to be attached to the hip portions of the garment supported, aroller on each clasp for engagement with the strap, and a non-stretchable reinforcing strip attached to said strap loops at the-point of clasp enga 'ement as bearing for the clasp roller throughout the range of.
its engagement.
Inwitness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name GEORGE R. VOLLMAN, JR.
