Description
March 24, 1931. F. w. HOBART 1,797,914
GARMENT SUPPORTER Filed May 22, 1950 Patented Mar. 24, 1931 UNITED STATES FRANK W. HOBART, CHELSEA, MASSACHUSETTS GARMENT SUPPORTER Application filed May 22,
This invention relates to garters or hose supporters, and has particular reference to the means for connecting the same to the tops of hose or stockings, said means consisting of a button-carrying member and a loop or clasp to be engaged with or disconnected from the button.
The most commonly employed hose supporters at present have pendent button car- 1 riers and metal loop-shaped clasp members to cooperate with the buttons in gripping the upper portions of stockings, the button carrier consisting of a doubled strip of flexible fabric. The flexibility of the latter interferes with easy manipulation of the members when applying to use, because the button can easily shift or swing laterally and cause delay in getting it to proper position in the wide upper part of the metal loop before drawing it into the narrow part ofsaid loop.
One of the objects of my invention is to provide hose-connecting members in which tendency of the button to swing away from proper lateral position is reduced to the miniuse.
Another object is to reduce the cost of such garment supporters, by constructing the pendent button carrier of a single piece of material of single thickness instead of the usual two strips, or a folded or doubled strip of tape.
With said objects in view, theinvention consists in the construction and combination of parts substantially as hereinafter described and claimed.
Of the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is an elevation of a complete garter constructed according to my invention.
Figure 2 represents a section on line 22 of Figure 1, on an enlarged scale.
Figure 3 represents a section on line 33 of Figure 1, on an enlarged scale.
Similar reference characters designate similar parts or features in all of the views.
In Figure 1 an ordinary leg-surrounding band is illustrated at 12 and having a suitable pad 13 which is usually of two-ply material as indicated in Figure 2. Secured to mum, thereby facilitating manipulation in 1930. Serial No. 454,634.
and depending from the pad 13 is a strip 14 of leather or reinforced rubber the upper end of which is split or slitted as at 15, the terminals of the slitted portion being enclosed in and stitched to the two-ply pad 13. Before such stitching is efi'ected however, the upper cross member 16 of the loop-shaped clasp member 17 is placed in said slit'15. Sometimes, although not always necessary, transverse stitches are applied at'18.
The lower end of the strip 14 is also split or slitted at 19 for a sufli'cient distance inwardly to receive the base'plate 20 of a stud 21 on which the button 22 is mounted. Said plate stud and button may be of any well .0 known or preferred structure. Preferably the material of said split end 19 is cemented together, but stitching may be employed for uniting the split parts together.
In operation, connection is made with a I stocking in the usual way; but while the flex ibility of the leather or rubber strip will permit the button to be slid up to and out through the wider portionof the loop 17, the comparative stiffness of the strip of single thickness material will effect a resistance to the button getting out of proper lateral position.
While the invention is illustrated as embodied in a mans garter, with the usualband to surround the leg of a wearer, it is to be derstood that I do not limit myself thereto, as the described members of my invention may be employed in stocking supporters such as those used by women.
Having now described my invention, I claim 1. A garment supporter having garmentconnecting members comprising a buttoncarrying strip of material having a split upper end, and a button-engaging clasp member hung in said split.
2. A garment supporter having garmentconnecting members comprising a buttoncarrying strip of material having a split up per end, and a button-engaging clasp member having its upper end mounted in said split, the lower end of the split being stitched across.
3. A garment supporter comprising a single strip of material having slits in its upper and lower ends, a, button having its base in the lower slit, and a button-engaging clasp member hung in the upper slit of said strip.
In testimony whereof I have aifixed my signature.
FRANK W. HOBART.
