SWIMMERS GIRDLE AND COLLARET Filed May 12, 1 927 TTORNEY NVEQNT I Patented Apr. 9, 1929.
UNlTED STATES IMARY JANE DIXON BEATON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
SWIMIVIEES G-IEDLE AND COLLARET.
Application filed May 12,
The device, the subject of this invention and made in different sizes, is intended to serve as a girdle or collaret for swimmers or those who are learning to swim.
The particular object of the invention is to provide adevice that may be worn by the swimmer, without discomfort; a device that may be secured in position and more particularly a device that will, in no way,
hamper or interfere with the free movement of the body or limbs, when secured inoperable position.
The means for accomplishing these objects and others not particularly referred to will be found fully set forth as the specification progresses and the accompanying drawing should be referred to for a complete understanding of the specification which follows.
In the drawing Fig. 1, is a plan view, and
Fig. 2, a sectional view.
Similar reference numerals indicate like parts in all the figures where they appear.
As previously suggested, this device may be made for use as a girdle or collaret, it being only necessary to change the dimensions or sizes.
If used as a collaret, 1 indicates the body portion and 2 and 3 the straps or tapes which secure the device around the body, with the body inserted in the scape 1.
My device is made with atrunk portion l Connecting two outstanding wing portions 5 and 6 and the edges 7 and 8 of the wing portions are extended outwardly, as far as it is convenient to have them extend to give maximum support and to allow these memhere to float backward as the body proceeds through the water, lreepin them away from the arms.
At 9 I show a valve, the means for inflating my device. I prefer that the device should be made of rubber and it may be 5 made two pieces, as shown at 10 and 11 in Fig. 1, the edges 12 and 13 of the part 11 bein extended over and firmly joined and cemented to the part 10.
As previously stated, I prefer that my de- 1927. Serial No. 190,807.
vice should be made of rubber or air tight material, so that it will not become deflated during use and there need be no fear of its becoming deflated at a time when the swimmer requires maximum support.
If used as a girdle, the device is tied at about the waist line, the tie being made preferably in front, with my device projectfrom the back. If, however, the device is used as a collaret, the reverse of this is desirable.
As a collaret, the chin will rest upon the trunk portion l, the tapes will be tied at the back and the outstanding wing portions 5 and 6 will come at about the sides of the head of the wearer, thus keeping the face entirely out of water and giving a greatconfidence to the wearer. Even when used as a collaret, the wing portions will extend upward and somewhat backward, floating free of the arms of the user.
I attach particular importance to the fan shape of my device. This, together with the similarity in size and shape of the two main parts, obviate objectionable baggincss or fullness.
Other modifications than merely those of size may be made within the scope of the appended claim, without departing from the principle or sacrificing the advantages of the invention.
. Having carefully and fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure 1s:-
A swimmers girdle or collaret of fan shape having outstanding wings, the tips of which are connected by an arc, an indent portion for the reception of the body, the edges of the girdle extending away from the body indent on an acute angle and means secured adjacent to the indent portion for securing the device to the body of the wearer whereby the tips are supported away from the body to allow free movement of the body, and means for inflating the whole herein set forth.
Signed at the city, county and State of N v Yorr, this 22nd day of December, 1926.
MARY JANE DIXON BEATON.
