UNDER WAIsTs. y No.184,'545. Patented Nov.z1,1a7e.
' WW1/wsa?, lumen/r UNrIED l STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EMELINE W. PHILBROOK, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN UNDER-WAISTS.`
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 184.545, dated November 21, 1876; application led May 24, 1876.
1" o all whom it may concern .Be it known that I, EMELINE W. PHIL BROOK, ot' Boston, county of Suii'olk, State ot' Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Womens Under' Waists, ot' which the following is a specifica tion:
Having found the waist for girls described in my Letters Patent No. 175,154, ot' March 21, 1876, ot' material value and importance for proper growth and form, and for the support of the body without the use of corsets, I was led, by considering the evils attending the use ot' corsets, and of other modes of dress around the waist, to so improve `and modit'y my patented waist as to adapt it for females of more mature age and growth.
In my improved waist, which I call the equipoise waist,77 I have secured all the advantages .of defense or protection of the stomach which corsets secure, Without the thus formed is shaped to the arm size, and a gored seam, b, running from the same removes the fullness at that point.
For the support and defense of the stomach and chest, and to give shape to the figure, as well as protection against the pressure of clothing, I simply introduce bones d in a plain gored piece, c, on each side, applied to the in-4 side ofthe waist, and extending up under the full bosom-piece, so arranged that they can be easily removed for Washing. For this purpose the pockets that receive-the bones are not continuous, but are formed to expose a portion of each bone.
These applied in this form enable me to dis- The bosom-pieces control the shape of 'the bosom, While the application, in the manner described, of bones in a plain gored piece extending up under the bosom-pieces protects and upholds the breast, preventing a draft upon the muscles which exhausts the Vital powers of the chest. v
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
In an under-waist, constructed substantially as described and shown, the combination of bosom-pieces with bones arranged in plain gored pieces extending up under the bosompieces, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 23d day of May, A. D. 187 6.
EMELINE W. PHILBROOK.
